Wow - fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

You may have fallen into a time warp :eek: Royal Caribbean and Admiral Cruises merged in the late 80s....

Now THAT is odd!

We paid a deposit for a sailing on the Allure and our credit card lists the seller not as RCCL but as Admiral Cruise Reservations. Is this the norm? We've always had RCCL as the vendor. I booked directly on the phone with an RCCL representative. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Also, sorry, meant to say the credit card lists the vendor as Admiral Cruise Reservations.

Sorry, I've never seen that one before & I always book directly through RCCL! Maybe call them for an explanation?

Recently? I was on the Radiance in 2009 and it was normal. Last week, on Serenade, it is DIFFERENT. Trust me, you'd notice it.

I was on Radiance last January, Serenade in late 2008. Don't remember any difference. I'm not doubting you, I just don't recall any difference. Perhaps they've replaced the seats on Serenade since I was onboard.

Wide.or narrow is only comparative when measured against the item next to it. !!!

LOL very true:) I've sailed on both Radiance and Serenade & don't remember the toilets or seats being any different from any other ship (or each other). Maybe there is a difference & I never realized it.

Has anyone gotten this postcard thru the mail w/ the RCCL Ship and logo on it, along w/ US Airlines, Just trying to figure out what it is, has anyone called the number that it says to call, just curious. Says no timeshare, etc, I know nothing is free in life, but so tempting :)

Guess it wouldn't hurt to call, but like the saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is ;)

I personally didn't notice any more movement being aft & we did have choppy seas a couple days. Some people say they do notice more movement aft, so I guess it's more of an individual thing. As far as the balcony, if looking directly down to the water is something your daughters really like, it may be a bit of a disappointment. However, like I wrote earlier, that balcony is huge (we had 8 people on it for drinks one night) and the view of the wake is really a sight to see. One other thing - you don't have as much privacy as you do on side balconies. You can see down onto deck 8 & 9 balconies (just the ones in the center of the aft) & they can see you if you're standing at the railing. Not a big deal, but just wanted to make you aware of it. Hope this helps.

CruzinMom05 -

We were in 1694 on Voyager last December & you'll love it. Being on deck 10 the view is much less obstructed than the lower decks. You can't look directly down to the water, but the view of the wake is awesome. Also, the balcony is HUGE (at least 3x size other JS balconies) and the room itself is longer than most JS. The balcony is also completely covered, so there's no problem with soot. There is some vibration when the ship is coming to a stop in port but it's no big deal. Enjoy!

If at all possible, I would switch cabins. While most aft-facing cabins are great choices, deck 6 aft on Voyager class ships are not. There is a large deck beyond the balcony which really limits the view. Not a good water view at all. Any other deck would be much better aft - the higher the better IMO for Voyager class ships. Go with a side balcony - you'll have a much better view (albeit a smaller balcony). Hope this helps.
