cruisetrail Posted August 31, 2013 Author #78 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Are you advocating that the entire upper decks be dedicated to pools and the areas around them? With no alternatives for people who do not need to be around them every waking moment? :rolleyes: Have I said that? May be you did not read my posts. My requirement: variety, more choices. Options not only for my grandpa, but for me too!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orator Posted August 31, 2013 #79 Share Posted August 31, 2013 My ancestors also crossed the Atlantic via a ship to start a new life. However, it was their mode of transportation, not a vacation. Big difference. I enjoy taking TAs and have noted that more and more have been using the ships as transportation from their Winter stays in Florida and their home in Europe. Much more civilized than flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Texed Posted August 31, 2013 #82 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Third, you might eliminate unfit men in speedos. Great reason to eliminate pools. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more civilized than flying. A TA is definitely on my bucket list as soon as I accrue enough vacation time. I just wanted to point out that you would have no problem if pools were eliminated altogether. Can you imagine filling the 7 day Caribbean ships week after week with no pools? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisetrail Posted August 31, 2013 Author #85 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Sorry, but the majority of the "we talk" on this thread seems to be "you talk." Does it really matter who talks & shows and who don't want see & don't want hear about ships facts? :) The Celebrity picture on left is the deck right above the pool. The deserted deck on the HAL "mystery ship" is not. You will find areas like this on the open decks of a Celebrity S class ship too. What areas?

Rare welshfamily Posted September 2, 2013 #89 Share Posted September 2, 2013 My vote is for the lawn.....even though I didn't have the pleasure of using it on our recent Reflections cruise( 19/8-30/8 ). It was closed off for the whole cruise, only people renting Cabanas got to use it except for the concert on the lawn. Signs were up saying the lawn was 'resting' but it looked good to me, green and lush with no patches. I do hope this is not a sign of things to come.

That is a sign you will usually see on a TA Give me more seating by the sunset bar instead of grass I have grass at home which I do not use , so why I would want it on a ship :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's must be very difficult for you to go through life knowing that what the majority wants is more important than what you want. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, you sure have a wild hair up your butt against Reflection! How many threads have you started just to bash her? How many other threads have you jumped in just to post endless criticisms of her? Based on your many, many negative posts about Reflection, I would have to say that you have a very unhealthy obsession with her that needs some serious therapy. Have you even been on her? Probably not. This kind of obsessive behavior is never based on actual experience, but only what is in the person's imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueboro Posted September 2, 2013 #99 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Empty loungers may happen to be here and there depending on the weather and time of the day, being in port, etc. The main problem is: this is the only open pool area on a ~3000 pax ship! And even worse - it is mixed with kids. Left: The upper level on Celebrity S-Class Right: a mystery ship Most of the passengers on the Holland America ship were riding their rascals around the promenade deck at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterlily777 Posted September 2, 2013 #100 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'm beginning to wonder about this poll. The number of anti-lawn posts on this thread don't reflect the anti-lawn replies to the poll at all (if you count the OP as one vote only). By the way, we like the lawn.
