Good to hear. I believe I noticed Paul Ogata listed. He was on Wonder (for a while I think) & we liked him. We seem to get one comic we like & one who insists on telling generic cruise jokes about cabins & eating a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 15 hours ago, Lovetocruise2002 said: I could see online that the cruise fare went down by $100 and there was an addition $100 OBC. Girl math says that is a $200 savings. When I got to NC, they priced it at $100 off cruise fare and $200 OBC, no brainer, re-price! So now I have $500 total ($200 from X; $300 from NC) OBC to spend on a 3 night sailing Wait...what ??? NC actually helped you with the pricing on an already--booked cruise ? I have never EVER known them to do that. WOW ! Neesa, Lovetocruise2002, Sweety and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyDillo Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 The aft elevators are still busier than the forward elevators. If you're in a suite and have no kids a lot of your time is concentrated in the front of the ship and those elevators are rarely busy. They also can't seem to get the times synced on the elevator panels. They've got AM and PM mixed up on some and then they also forget to adjust the time when they've gone forward and backwards an hour on this sailing.

I don’t know…Hubby and I have been debating all week if it seems smaller because it’s indoors, or if it really is smaller. I would be really interested to know the actual capacity of this theatre compared to the Aqua theatre on oasis class.

They canceled the first aquadome show this evening. The motion never bothers me but it makes me sleepy if I sit still in one place for too long Today I definitely felt the motion, especially being at the very front of the ship. In fact, I can feel the motion in the entire Aquadome, SL/CK areas. So if you are a suite snob, and spend the majority of your time in the suites area, pack your meds for motion accordingly. tingtang, asquared17, Cactus527 and 3 others 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Tonight we tried to catch another showing of AquaNation. No luck. Both shows were cancelled due to motion. CD Mike explained that the pool here is smaller than the Aqua theatre pool on Oasis class. So any water loss due to motion is unsafe for the divers. On top of that, the aerialists swing on a pendulum so any significant motion is unsafe for them as well. About 10mins before showtime, they opened the pool and placed a sandbag out to simulate the swinging, and there was considerable water loss with the motion, and the sandbag was swinging side to side across the entire width of the pool. So no go. I guess they did not consider that a lot of motion is felt at the front of the ship, on the top decks? Hubby and I had to laugh a bit because on Oasis class, the Aqua shows frequently cancel due to wind. This new Aquadome takes away that worry. But they just replaced the wind problem with the motion problem. Good old Royal lol Life/cruise lesson here: continue to see the Aqua theatre show as early in the sailing as possible. Because there is always going to be some motion, and apparently that is a problem for that theatre Jax, Ampurp85, CanHardlyWait and 10 others 6 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 CK night 6 menu had no significant changes other than the poached lobster being removed and moved over to Night 5. Hubby and I both got entrees that we’ve never tried. I got the Crab Crusted Flounder, and he got the Roasted Pork Loin. Both dishes were excellent!
