FIrst time for our entire family!
Oceansaway17 replied to wrg's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I like cabins that are interior up in the front of the ship as less foot traffic. And slight movement at night makes for good sleeping that is if you can get use to the HARD mattress which takes about two days IMHO -
Icon of the Seas Blocks Are In The House!
Oceansaway17 replied to Lloyd555's topic in Royal Caribbean International
well yes but I heard the NCL Prima really has small pools. But at least Oasis does have 4. If it is pools you want, go on new ICON. -
Celebrity Summit- how bad are the mattresses?
Oceansaway17 replied to SPacificbound's topic in Celebrity Cruises
yes the Summit from Boston. also NCL goes out of Boston too. Boston is great tor NE/Canada because you gain a day from having to sail from NYC area and even more so than Baltimore. thanks for good wishes. you sound like a nice polite person on cc. -
well yours must have been a bit off because I have done two DCL and everyone was nicely behaved. I find entitled bad folks on all ships, but for DCL I give a lot of wiggle room as the kids are excited for the characters. Sorry you had a large lady but in but that can happen at the parks too. I think the food on Disney is very good and I am on the Fantasy May 27th and can't wait.

yes I do like Celebrity but more and more I meet folks who have like the new Carnival ships and did not find then any more loud than other ships. RCI Oasis class are loud and music everywhere. I did like the Vision of the Seas which is older and smaller. Not such booming loud music and lots of places to sit. Crew friendlier on smaller ships too IMHO. NCL is also loud as well but again so are a lot of ships at the pool and in buffet.

Agee as I did Hal ship a while ago and this year sailing on the new CCL Celebration with all the wonderful fast food options and layout of ship
-
Not sure what you are getting at by saying Princess is vanilla. Also newer Carnival ships are a lot more like RCI than you think. I feel like you have labeled all the other lines so you can feel good about just RCI. All the lines are getting competitive and the new Dun Princess when it comes out will now have a dome area like Icon.

How does MSC compare to Celebrity?
Oceansaway17 replied to NCteacherlovescruising's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Yes and Spanish is more common and I wish I could speak it. Then again those folks should think the same in reverse for English as well. -

First NCL cruise and I was a bit disappointed
Oceansaway17 replied to Mississippian's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Yup I was as my room was towards the front of ship. If I go on Breakaway again I would pick a room up one level and back furthet -

Oceansaway17 replied to NCteacherlovescruising's topic in Celebrity Cruises
If I had to do it over I would have kept up with my Spanish from high school. The Walmart comment refers to too many constant announcements. while I get that announcements need to be made for multiple languages, I do try to avoid those cruises as it can be annoying at times. -
Royals IT department is now spot on.
Oceansaway17 replied to taglovestocruise's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I had several from 2021 that have now fallen off so they are trying to clean up profiles -

What is other one I meant to say -
Icon of the Seas Blocks Are In The House!
Oceansaway17 replied to Lloyd555's topic in Royal Caribbean International
What is the one? -
wow anyone else think the dome looks like what is being put on the new RCI ICON???? Nice to see old names being recycled. I was thinking of doing Sun Princess, but I usually wait for the 2nd in a class.

Compare Royal and Grand Princess for me - trans-pacific
Oceansaway17 replied to lissie's topic in Princess Cruises
i picked the Grand for Alaska on purpose because I wanted to try an older Princess ships to enjoy the wrap around outdoor promenade and the enclosed pool. Will be on her for 14 days in Alasak r/t Vancouver doing all ports twice, The thing about new ships is there is less outdoor space and lots of rooms up the back and on the sides. I have only sailed on Cairbbean Princess and I love aft area of the ship with the ramp to upper area and lots of seating in the aft too. -
First NCL cruise and I was a bit disappointed
Oceansaway17 replied to Mississippian's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I have sailed on Breakaway and I agree about big screen in H2O. Not nice to look at. I liked Escape better. I agree on Cagney's as my steak was tough and cold as well. As for SIX, you could have gone in just before showtime as walkin and stood in the back. It was a good show Yes atrium can be a bit too loud and they should block off some of the bar areas so that folks sitting on 2nd level can enjoy the activities. And for me in the solo area, My room every night could hear the music coming up through the floors two levels. I could hear the thumping bass just enough to not enjoy the tv. -
make sure you have a nice book to mark your spot in buffet, and enjoy people watching. I have cruised a long time solo and folks will strike up conversations with you all the time or you strike up a conversation. The crew will definitely enjoy talking to you. I feel safe on ships and can mix and mingle as much as I want. And when you see some folks arguing, you can be happy you are alone.
