Freedom/Voyager Quantum Oasis Radiance addendum... I'm expecting Icon to blow me away

Summary of this thread ... Buggati prices are out of control. Those stupid Saudi princes owning 10 are driving up prices. It's irresponsible. Also, I prefer driving a Ford Fusion, I refuse to be irresponsible like other people besides, Pagani is a way better car and if I was going to drive a supercar I would never consider Bugatti. 🙂

I find it weird that people blame others because they can't afford things. Work harder, save more, stop smoking, cutout Starbucks, there is a myriad of reasons you can't afford things. Blaming other people's spending should be the last reason.

me either 🙂

You are crossing an international border... It is illegal and highly irresponsible to bring them onboard. You subjecting yourself to an extreme risk.

Yes and oddly I've not done it. Not sure why? I'm not back on Navigator for a year but I'm going to make sure I get there at least once next time.

I may be wrong but I'm going by reports I've read here on CC and this list. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/prohibited-items-onboard-policy

I'm glad to read this review... I read the other review that is on the first page today and was quite surprised to read such a negative review. I've sailed Navigator 3 times over the last year and half and had a really good time. I thought the food was decent in the MDR, as well was Jaimies and Chops. I didn't eat in Hooked. I've got two more scheduled in early 2025 and may be booking more yet.

No, you can't brink Ice skates on board. Any kind of sports gear is prohibited. Rental skates are provided. Rentals are marginal at best but it is still a fun experience as long as your GD isn't a high level figure skater.

That was what I was like on Odyssey and Ovation... The venue and the quality of the band make all the difference in the world. On Harmony in Dazzles in December I was there three times over two weeks. Which is low for me. Unless you are lucky enough to score the right seat it a really awkward venue with a lot of poor sight lines. The band was pretty average too.

The greatest genre of music since the dawn of time 🙂

How is the house band in the Music Hall and what is the venue like? It was hard to tell from @FromSea2ShiningSea's pictures since she took them from the second floor. Is it more like a Quantum Music Hall? It seems that way from the picture but is a little hard to tell.

This isn't even a fair comparison since our category and location is sold out but it is the closest I can come. We're booked in a D4 Oceanview Balcony with an aft facing view. That means a large balcony. Our price is ~$2835 taxes and fees included. The screen shot below has the gratuities in which I have backed out for comparison sake. Currently an Ocean view Balcony Guarantee for the same sailing is closing in on $8900. It defies my sensibilities that people are paying that but I'm fine with it as a shareholder 🙂

Ditto for us... I booked the day itineraries were available for Nov 2024. It's been a long wait and I'm glad I did it but it will be a one a done for us. Our next cruises are all on ships more reasonably priced.

Yes, I have seen my smiling face on the screen the bartender looks at when punching in my drink

Loving it already. @RCCL Fan's reviews are some of the absolute best! I'm excited you got this opportunity.

At current prices I'm not interested in the Beach beds or Cabanas but I'm wonder if anyone has experience showing up on the day of and just seeing if there is any "deal" to be had. Rather than have it sit empty has Royal ever discounted these sorts of things, either on board the ship at the Shorex desk or on the island, once you are there?

Definitely no free wifi. We couldn't even access the ship wifi from where we were at Columbus Cove. I'm not sure about other areas though.

I think Ken mentioned earlier that there was supposed to be 5500 onboard.

That's a good month in Chicago.

Maybe the tires need to be balanced.

No, If you are in suite you'll have lavazza coffee machine. They will replace the pods everyday when your room is serviced. If you are not in a suite you get nothing.

Is it top 30 only or all pins or are you in a suite

Definitely !

Great “live” @SteelCityCruiser10 thanks for taking us along.
