Deck plan shows a separate Sauna from the Thermal Suite, and the Hydro Pool is separated from the spa by the elevator vestibule; I thought those two areas may be included with the fitness center.

I agree, must be a lucky break my way. Seems like a terrific spot under salon treatment rooms (should be quiet all evening), 1 quick flight of steps up to Lido deck.

Utilized my Diamond on RCI to have Elite onboard Celebrity; was surprised that Captains Club Happy Hour is not honored around the ship on day 1. Seems a little bit of an oddity to me. Has it always been this way, or recently changed? Any sensible reason for it being done this way? Should have mentioned on my survey but forgot to.

I booked 8024 on sister ship Nieuw Amsterdam; my T/A and the paper work both say obstructed view. In fact, I got it cheaper than any interior room bc my T/A said they had one balcony left in their inventory but it was obstructed. I checked the deck plans and can't figure out how it's obstructed at all? I haven't sailed yet and was searching for cabin info when your post came up. I was hopeful that you would notice the response; most appreciative of your reply and information.

Which areas of the Fitness Center is access included with the cruise fare? I see Fitness Center at the front (gym) Greenhouse Spa and Salon Thermal Suites Sauna Hydro Pool

8024 is listed as obstructed view. What, if anything, was the obstruction from that room?

There's no buyer for HAL. Carnival would have to accept pennies on the dollar to find someone to take on the expense/debt of the new ships. HAL wouldn't be sold for value of its assets, but rather to make it someone elses problem. One less mouth to feed. And who is looking for that right now? I see no takers in the current environment.

Yes - it is allowed and often encouraged. Don't give them any ideas.

$3 for room service - Coffee and plate of sliced melon.

I was on June 26 and there were 3 production shows in addition to guest performer, live musicians throughout the ship in the evening, including the fabulous poolside band seemingly popping up all over including the atrium and deck parties. Can't tell you about the app; I never downloaded or used the app at all. Nothing to worry about.

No tickets needed. Current shows on the 6 nighter were: Guest Performer Life Guest Comedian Guest Performer Topper Elysium All shows are approx 45 minutes.

You'll be in the upper 1/3. It was very casual onboard. You do not need slacks or jeans daily. It's gonna be HOT in Western Caribbean in July...

Equinox has stopped serving guests - I was onboard 2 weeks ago. I watched a lady pick up food with tongs, pick it up from her plate, eat it, lick her fingers, then move on to the next set of tongs. I did ask the staff to replace the ones I saw her touch. It was literally the ONLY negative comment on my post cruise survey. Bring back service in the buffet, please
