This is what I have been waiting for - but since I am at work and sneeking peeks, I won't be able to see the whole thing until tonight:( But here goes - from the first few minutes of the tour it looks like Taste is open to the casino above -- my first thought: I hope they have really good ventilation, because every casino I have ever walked quickly through smells like smoke. Yuk:rolleyes:

Thanks...just posted on my roll call.

I have tried and tried to view this video. It plays for about 5 seconds and stops for awhile, then repeats. I wish there was a download button that you could down load it and watch it once it's loaded. Too aggravating to view at this point and yes, I have high speed internet. :(

Im having the same problem !!!

 

Its doing my head in, any solutions

I opened the page, started the video, then immediately paused it. It is loading now (you can see the progress by the shaded progress bar) but it's very, very slow. I figure it will take an hour or two to fully cache. I'm sure that the download traffic is swamping the servers right now.

same problem here re start/stop.

Did the same thing. It runs smoothly if you just pause and let it load first.

I tried that but the bar didn't seem to be moving...or maybe it was moving REALLY S L O W ! and I didn't notice it.

Well, horses are better than cows I suppose. :D

Thanks.

 

Anyone by chance got a link to the raw flv (flash video) or a converted format?

 

I'd like to watch this on the big screen.

Klaus needs his own mic. Difficult to hear sometimes.

Nice to see Klaus. Glad he took time out of his busy schedule to do the tour. This is the perfect tour of the Epic, but I wish they would have gone to Posh.

It moved REALLY, REALLY SLOW. It took 2 hours plus to fully load.

I wanted to see the Posh area as well. There were some fairly good photos of it here however:

Who gets to use the Posh? Is it Villa/Courtyard guests only?

 

I was pleased at the size of the courtyard. The whole area is very nice.

Totally hopeless. Video wont load at all.

Just watched the video - great overview of the ship.

[DGP1111]

I really enjoyed viewing this quite comprehensive video.

Thanks for making it happen, Carolyn!! :) :)

[Linda the Book Lover]

Loved the video especially the spa :D!

For everyone having trouble with the video or videos on general this is what I do. I use the browse Mozilla Firefox and you can download stacks and stacks of addons to improve your browsing experience. One particular addon is called 'DownloadHelper' and basically you can save videos such as youtube etc with the click of a button and have them on your computer for easy access whenever you like. Also, not sure if it was just my internet connection but my download speed was 1.2mb/s so the whole thing downloaded in a couple of minutes!

Whilst America sleeps I can watch the video at last.

[English Rose]

Same here - no problem at all whilst the States slumbers. Really enjoyed watching everything!

Cheryl as am open minded Brit I have no problem with the bathing arrangements. As a fellow Brit what is your opinion ? It seems it's mostly our American cousins that seemed shocked by the configuration of the rooms.

I for one cant wait to get 'stuck' in the bowl slide :)

[maja]

Can't view the video right now either. What a tease for us NESSers! An hour video of the ship.............OMG....I'm on pins & needles.

Okay, counting to 10 & taking deep breathes.

I am strong.

I can survive.

My addiction will not run my life.

Who am I kidding? I'm going to try it again.
