WAAAYTOOO

For one of the water slides on one of the ship (I think it was on NAV, but not sure), they had a stand-on scale at the top of the slide. It was a 2-person slide. Both Dan and I had to stand on the scale. It registers either “green” or “red”. It does not produce a value....just “pass/fail”. We failed. ??

The only way to find out the details of this offer is to call Club Royale.866-213-3116

What date is it supposed to open ?

Wow ! A shipmate !

Internet is not included on Mariner (only Oasis and Quantum class ships) so you will have to purchase internet either from the cruise planner or onboard. You do get priority disembarkation but that doesn’t necessarily mean you will be escorted. It usually does though. There will be a reserved section for D+, suites and Pinnacles at the theaters. You will get breakfast in either Chops or Giovannis.

Good luck !

Are you on Anthem or Mariner ? I will be there on 2-11 on Anthem.

It makes sense. This is probably the configuration that works best for the sofa bed.

Just remember that if your son goes into the water park, an adult must also go along with him and pay full price, even if the adult does not plan on doing any of the slides. Personally, for a 6/7 year old, I think the free kids' water park would be plenty. I wanted to go there and play in the water, myself ! I don't think he would be too old for that water park at ALL. I think he would enjoy it and it would save you beaucoup bucks. You could check out the big water park from afar (and for free) and decide if it was something you wanted to do another time.

Don't feel bad. I have NEVER EVER gotten the ability to bid on an upgrade by using the website. If I don't get the email, I am NOT going to get an opportunity to upgrade. Even if within 30 days of the sailing....nothing. Ever.

Welcome to the Blog !!

Congratulations ! Those sound like really good offers to me. I would be cautious about bidding on the 1 BR ATS b/c aside from the 1 on deck 11, the rest of them have REALLY small balconies. I don't think I would be happy with one on 12 or 14. ...and of course, you have no control over which one they upgrade you to. I don't think I'd take that chance. The 2 BR ones though...absolutely.

My only concern about NAV is, I have found the prices on NAV to be exceptionally high on a per person/per day basis (especially for suites) - particularly for the "add-ons" like the drinks packages and/or dining packages. Not knowing which port you are looking at, I would say look at Oasis, Allure (no water slides yet...but maybe by the summertime ?), Liberty, Anthem. Having done a B2B on NAV, I would probably not do it again b/c of the prices.

Neesa, I have never been on Mariner but I will guess that it is basically the same layout as the rest of the Voyager Class ships. From what I can tell, the OS on Mariner (e.g., 1320) does not have the pole in the entryway. No pole at all, from what I can see (video on cruisedeckplans.com). I don't know if there are any OS available on your sailing. While you will still be dealing with the pool deck above, the deck area above the OS "humop" are more transit areas vs lounging areas. Might be less noisy there. The biggest problem I see for 1252 is the fact that it is so far forward. I would hate being way up there. Frankly, I'm not sure I would spend the money for an OS on Mariner since those cruises are so short. If you're doing a B2B, that's a different story.

Which port would you prefer ?

I vote for playing with the pigs.

I will post and let everyone know !!!!

We have day passes to the beach club the first week of Feb. As far as I know, the beach club is not yet open. Hopefully later this month.

I think River Song was talking about a suite on Liberty.

11538 will have the bed by the closets, not by the balcony.

Have a GREAT cruise !!!

This makes for a beautiful Christmas display but I can see where it caused a problem. Mixed blessing ?

You are welcome !

Welcome to the Blog ! Glad to have you on board ! I cannot answer your Blue Lagoon question. I looked on my own Cruise Planner and, while there are multiple Blue Lagoon excursions, none of them mention transportation. Hmmm....sorry, no help there. As for your question regarding Coco Cay, I am continually perplexed why some schedules are showing more than 2 ships at CC on the same day. You are not the first to have this question or concern. To my knowledge, it is impossible for more than 2 ships to dock at Coco Cay at the same time. I suppose it is POSSIBLE to have 1 ship tendering and 2 ships docked but I would be very very surprised if this were to be the case. I suspect that there is a mistake in the schedule if it is showing 3 ships at Coco Cay at the same time. I just don't think it's possible or likely. 2 ? yes. 3 ? I don't think so.

Twangster, you bot-ness is beginning to emerge again. ?
