islandchick Posted November 7, 2013 #26 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We have never had a problem finding a spot at the sunset bar for sail away, however we usually are hanging out there most of the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted November 7, 2013 #27 Share Posted November 7, 2013 And to the Sunset Bar crowd... So, I think I'm sold on the Sunset Bar for Sailaway. I'm assuming I should hightail it there immediately following the muster drill - is there a mad dash? Sorry if this sounds stupid but I'm having difficulty imagining how there couldn't be some contention for seats with 3000+ people heading to the Sunset Bar for Sailaway, Martini Bar before dinner etc. I suppose I've got a lot to learn... We that have a good time here on Cruise Critic are about 3-5% of that 3000 total pax # :D and yes you will find everyone spread out all over the rail's durning sail away. ps: there is no 'BAD' spot on deck:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosjoe Posted November 7, 2013 #28 Share Posted November 7, 2013 :D and yes you will find everyone spread out all over the rail's durning sail away.ps: there is no 'BAD' spot on deck:) Well the only thing I don't like about Reflection is the glass on the sides and back. So the railings are there but the glass is like 2.5-3 feet high from the railing. If you want no glass in your way go forward on both sides you will see no glass. So that glass is a bad spot for me.

miched Posted November 8, 2013 #30 Share Posted November 8, 2013 If you take a picture of a sunrise or sunset how can you tell them apart? ☀ On the first cruise we ever took I was standing at the rail watching the sunset. There was a person next to me and I asked him that question just to start up a conversation. He said it most times it is easy to tell the difference. He said a sunrise since it is always in the morning will rarely have clouds and likewise it is very rare to see a sunset with out any clouds. As we talked I found out that he was the pilot that was spending the night on board for the next port so he apparently knew about weather. Since then I have tried to observe sunrises and sunsets whenever possible. It never fails. There are always clouds that interfere with seeing the sunset on the horizon. .🎄🎅 .

Theologator Posted November 8, 2013 #31 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Our first cruise sail away caught sunset as we passed under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay. I'll enjoy sailing away from Miami on reflection in January, but that won't match the first... Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnsnkr Posted November 8, 2013 #32 Share Posted November 8, 2013 If you take a picture of a sunrise or sunset how can you tell them apart? ☀ It's very easy to spot the correct one in my cruise pictures. I barely manage to wake up at the crack of Noon, so sunrise is just a figment of some imagination... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Anne Posted November 8, 2013 #33 Share Posted November 8, 2013 OMG ~ I LOVED the response from the OP to Jane. Great sense of humor! Here's another vote for the Sunset Bar. I love watching the port we are sailing from fade away. It's my true Bon Voyage. Wishing you a wonderful first cruise wpg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Fogtownrog Posted November 23, 2013 #35 Share Posted November 23, 2013 There is only one place...The Sunset Bar...as during sailaway....there is always a festive party going on and as the ship cruises eastward, you can sit there and watch the sunset.

jackdiamond Posted November 23, 2013 #36 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Veranda with a bottle of bubbly. Correct, as long as you are on the port side embarking from Port Everglades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
