English101 Posted May 16, 2013 #6402 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Personally I'd rather see a nominal charge of $5 so those who really want to bowl, and don't mind paying the fee will be more likely be able to find open time. With no fee, you may just find some folks staying beyond, or occupying the alley with some kids who are really that interested but had no choice. Good point!

English101 Posted May 16, 2013 #6403 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Also I don't know if anyone was still asking but haven guests have to pay the up charge for Vibe and the Spa. The spa sold out around 3pm on Sunday. Vibe sold out much earlier. Even the $300 cabanas. And you have to purchase these on board, not before. Correct? Will have to lead my husband to these areas right away to see what we're missing! Lol however, having Haven access and possibly limited time to use the facilities because of daughters 9&7, I think we'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellebud Posted May 16, 2013 #6404 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Has anyone noticed that you can see the bathtubs through the windows of the suites!?!? Is this the same glass used for the aft suites as well? Can you see into the bathroom from the balcony? Look at this picture: wow... didn't know they were that see-through. thanks for posting this pic... love this angle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English101 Posted May 16, 2013 #6405 Share Posted May 16, 2013 There is another nice ares open to everyone on the port side forward. There are flat beds. Nicer wicker lounge chairs and four mini cabanas. We sat there for sail away. It is the closest you can get to the front. All glass right over the spa. We sat there on tues at sea. Not windy and a couple was going to lunch so we snagged a mini cabana. I assumed center forward, where the hammocks are, was public access as well.

Thanks for posting this information Vibe does not look that large so I am sure the passes will sell out. With Haven guests not allowed to use Vibe, I see a very crowded courtyard with lots of kids. That tiny pool could be an issue. But it just looks odd to be behind the Courtyard glass and you have to pay extra to walk outside to Vibe. Curious where they are having the Haven sail away party. It would be nice to have ocean views for sail away. If Haven guests are not allowed in Vibe, then where would they have the party? Not much ocean views from the Haven.

It would be nice to have ocean views for sail away. If Haven guests are not allowed in Vibe, then where would they have the party? Not much ocean views from the Haven. Haven guests are allowed in Vibe, if they purchase a pass, like everyone else. Haven guests actually have first dibs on haven, thanks to priority embarkation. ;) Children aren't allowed in vibe so I don't see how this would increase children in haven area. While there will be children in the haven area (mine will be there sometimes), the children are also going to be drawn to the kids pool, water slides, ropes course, splash academy, arcade, etc. I think there are enough activities around to disperse those children. The haven has its own sun deck. It's the darker furniture on the starboard side. It looks about the same size as vibe, just without a hot tub (which is inside the haven courtyard area.

Not much ocean views from the Haven. isn't the forward right side (starboard??) the outside Haven area? There's a door from the glassed-in Haven courtyard right to it (look at the pic, the forward right side of the glass-in area has a door leading to a sundeck that stretches all the way to the front of the ship). It's where all the dark colored lounge chairs are. The other areas w/ the blue and tan lounge chairs are public and vibe areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyreporter Posted May 16, 2013 #6415 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Bet this is a rook question, but I was reading Dave Holman today, and he was saying he had breakfast in O'Sheehan's. How do waiters in that restaurant get tipped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyreporter Posted May 16, 2013 #6416 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Also, Dave reports from the scene that it looks like the dock is a week or two from completion, and suggests that debarking will go more smoothly from there, although he had no problem with the way it went this week, which was via the forward gangplank.

tbag124 Posted May 16, 2013 #6421 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Can someone also please remind me if my carry on needs to be under a certain size? We have a large rolling duffel and i'm wondering if I'll have to check it or if I can use it as a carry on. I'm not sure it would fit in a "airport size scanner" like the carry on's must when you fly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
