cruiseclues

I've had some fairly good food recently (we're foodies) on both Carnival & Royal Caribbean...not like a few years ago (2012)...for us, the largest Royal Caribbean ship though has been the Explorer of the Seas...the same few years ago...the MDR Menus did change, after, though. I did not take any photos of the food in the MDR on the Explorer...which seems to make a difference... but it may just be my imagination. :):):):)

As Chair Hog posts go...this one was more interesting than the few I've seen in the past...especially with the photos of the Chair Hog Brigade keeping watch. :):):):)

Thank you for your review & your good info. :):):):)

Okay so I'm fresh off of my first cruise and I gotta say with all due respect and in every loving way that any human deserves - the cruise director on the independence of the seas is a bit wacky. Okay not a bit. He is nuts. Bordering on inappropriate at times, with a dirty questionably kid-not-so-friendly humor and juvenile personality.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure some people love him. But he certainly wasn't in good taste for me.

 

Are all cruise directors trained to be this nutty or is Leigh just a special case?

 

The things I enjoyed was on the tv when he would go around and show you how the food was cooked or how the ship recycles, etc. the informative stuff was good although he did make many inappropriate jokes along the way.

 

What has been your experience with cruise directors? My wife really got to dislike him and every time I would see him on the tv or around he ship, I would say IT'S YOUR FAVORITE GUY!!!! ITS LEEEEEEEEIGHHHHHHH

It's hard to determine what is meant by your generalizations...such as in good taste ...or inappropriate jokes

:)

Can't get enough of your photo reviews...thanks. :):):):)

Very Nice. Great Photo Review. :):):):)

Happy to read your Photo Reviews. :):):):)

Another interesting, enjoyable photo review...thanks. :):):):)

Thought I'd look at your 2014 Liberty Photo Review...Good...Thank You. :):):):)

Very enjoyable photo review...thank you. :):):):)

Thank you so much for this great information. :):):):)

Thank you for your very excellent review. :):):):)

When someone sells a product that is advertised to have some feature or function and someone purchases that product and discovers (to late to back out) that it was a lie (forget all the why the lie occurred) ...I believe the purchaser has grounds to accuse the seller of fraud. :mad: Of course this happens constantly with most businesses nowadays and most people accept it (and therefore deserve it...since unwilling to do anything about it...that would include me)

The Bar Prices have seemed to go up over the years...We generally only do the Drink Deals...At First I thought the 18% had something to do with the Brilliance of the Seas Going out of Harwich in GB, but I remembered that a friend left me the Cruise Compass from the Grandeur of the Seas from Baltimore, 7/17/2015, 7 Day, but Day 2 is missing. Anyway, it also mentions 18% in the Cruise Compass.

The Bar Prices are one thing,,,and the 18% Gratuity is another...the gratuity hasn't changed since we've been cruising beginning in 1984. :(

Correct, Royal does not require all guests in a stateroom to purchase a package.

At least one good thing...thanks. :):):):)

I'm not trying to be smart alleky but at 6'2" where do I put my legs?

I'm 6'4" and it looks like I would have to turn my chair parallel with the Balcony Rail. :):):):)

I didn't Know about the coffee makers...but I never had a suite...but have visited a few in cabin crawls...I guess I need to be a bit more observant. :):):):)

Thank you for all the very interesting Photos and your good review...enjoyed it. :):):):)

I know this is a 2012 Photo Review...but I hadn't seen it...thanks for all the photos and your good review. :):):):)

We would pick the Caribbean Princess...Haven't been on the Carnival Victory...but the Caribbean Princess was a really great cruise for us. :):):):)

Sorry about your experience with HMC. Whenever we missed a Cruise Lines Special Island, the cruise line treated us to drinks for several hours. Thank for the Review. :):):):)

Thanks for the Victory Part of your photo review...At this point I'm guessing there may not be a Carnival Glory Part. :):):):)

We Really enjoyed the Carnival Glory...thanks for the fine photo review and being able to experience again. :):):):)

Thank You for the great Photo Review...& thanks for the Ocean Suite Photos. :):):):)

A lot of info...thanks for the review. :):):):)
