Are they the forward facing OV or the ones on deck 5? If you can get a forward facing one, they are much larger than a typical inside. I don't believe any of them have a couch in the older ships. I don't like to be that low on a ship and depending on the location, you will have deck 6 right above you, which could result in noise.

We walked all around that area on embarkation day and it was empty. If you checkin early (9:30) and get an early boarding pass, or are high latitudes level, you should be fine.

We had a difficult time deciding whether to go to Rumours or Beetlejuice. Ended up going to Beetlejuice and loved it. Great energy and hilarious. The GM told us that this sailing is the only one where reservations are not being taken for the main theater shows. No plans to do that permanently. Went to the 10pm showing and everyone got in. Two other changes from the Prima is no Starbucks or Cocos in Indulge so extra seating and the stateroom beds are a little higher, so luggage fits under easier.

Today in the Gen Pop it was handicapped, Diamond and Sapphire, then Platinum. I believe Priority came after that. We were onboard at 11am (Sapphire). Deck 16 cabin was ready at 1pm.

We did Greece the first week of November in 2021 and the weather was perfect. As mentioned above, less crowds, especially in Santorini, was wonderful.

I am Onda all the way. I have only had what I consider a great meal at La Cucina once and that was on the Jade. The bread at Onda is amazing and there is a white pizza that is crazy good. Food is so objective so you will get many fans of both restaurants.I can't wait to be on the Viva next week and go to Onda.

I don't think Epic sails in Alaska...better check your booking.

They aren't sending the additional emails anymore. But you may have to watch it on your stateroom TV once.

Thanks for posting this menu. I have some NR OBC that I think I will use here.

I have 3 In and Out within a 5 mile radius of where I live. I will be happy to give you one, LOL.

Not everyone has large family get togethers for the holidays.

Chick Fil-a is nationwide.

No, the pass will not be cheaper once onboard and it is very possible it will sell out before you get on board. On occasion (usually a sea day), they will sell a day pass for anywhere from $59-89 for one but there is no guarantee they will have them available. I have never seen a 2 or 3 day pass. The Thermal Spa is a very popular place.

The Prima has both A and C in the lamps next to the bed.

This was going to be my suggestion also. If you read the first 5 pages or so of this forum, you will probably find the answer to just about everything you want to know. That's what I do if I am sailing a new line and not familiar with how they do things. And if you want information on ports, excursions, etc. there is a place here for that too. Enjoy your cruise!

Were you able to book reservations for Beetlejuice on board or is it first come, first served? Enjoy the rest of your cruise!

This has been typical every time I have been to PV. Go across the street to the WalMart and they are over there too. Don't know why but it does make me stay on my best behaviour.

Sorry...I just saw that in your title. According to Cruisedeckplans.com, there are photos of O/V cabins on decks 8 and 9 that don't have the bed under the window.

Which ship are you looking at? I have stayed in foward facing O/V cabins on the Bliss and Encore and the bed is not under the window. They have a window seat (no cushion) with a huge amount of storage under the window.

Not even a little bit.

Not a boarding time...a check-in time. And while chances are very slim that anyone will even look at your documents, you can still both get into the port terminal at 10:30.

Do you have the number of passengers changed to "1" in the filters? Usually if I forget to do that I get a Not Available under the studio cabins. If so, then I can't imagine why it would show that at this early stage. I did a mock booking for the Aqua TA a few days ago and it showed both Studios and solo balcony avaiable.

As long as it is a 'real' Starbucks (as pictured above), then you can use your app or a card. You earn Stars but cannot redeem them on the ship. If it is an Atrium Cafe that serves Starbuck products (as on the Jade), then you cannot use a card or app. You would pay using your room key.

I have never seen kids in the lounge but did see a group of teens late at night once. If someone doesn't pull the door fully shut, then anyone can access (if they happen to be walking by and know what it is). The teens took the pastries and juice and once they left, I pulled the door shut. Just something to remember if you are staying in the Studios.
