DocLC Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 You remember ships having a "tween" deck where's they captured extra space for cabins by creating an in-between deck when transitioning from public decks with higher ceilings to cabin decided with lower ceilings.

jticarruthers Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Havent seen that ... we did experience deck 6 1/2 onboard Carnival Vista this year though .. In order to get to the teen club you walk up the stairs from deck 6 halfway to deck 7 and then walk through the back of the stairwell to a different set of stairs to go down to the arcade/teen club on deck 6. (My description makes it sound like a secret wall, its not that bad). We spent the cruise comparing platform stairwell 6 1/2 to platform 9 3/4 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize they were making a comeback. ;) It seems that since the move of there MDR to the aft on many ships and entire decks dedicated to open space, you don't see this too often. We did score on a Carnival ship and a Celebrity deck by having hallways that were extra wide and higher than normal ceilings because they were on decide with some public spaces.

coneyraven Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Majesty has one.. That was exactly my thought ..... Sovereign Class ships (Sovereign, Monarch & Majesty) had a "half-deck" ---- Deck 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLC Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 When you remember when Disney did not have free soda Of course, free or complimentary is a misnomer many of us use given the fact that we're paying for it in our cruise fare.

That's too funny.... I get on youtube and watch the mini-series of "Drydock, A Cruise Ship Reborn" --- When they rehabbed Sovereign back in, I believe, '05 - If there was a way to purchase it, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I just recently watched there series again, too. Some of the same people are still with Royal and are still overseeing drydocks. I was amazed at how many fires they had. There's another one that's pretty good, too, but it follows another line (MSC?) and its daily operations and is Called Cruise Ship Diaries. It's similar to the show that followed Southwest Airline's operations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
