travelplus Posted March 4, 2014 #26 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Is #2 for real? Door close and up. Hmmm. That's an important thing to know. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk It worked on dembarkation day and at other times:D Just be sure the doors are fully closed. Then you press and hold the "Up button" or "Down" button after you selected your floor. It worked really well. Its a "hidden express feature built into most elevators". Test it out and let me know if it works on all ships. Edited March 4, 2014 by travelplus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only up or down button I've seen is on the outside...to call an elevator. Where is it on the panel inside the elevator car, does someone have a pic to post?

Rare markeb Posted March 4, 2014 #29 Share Posted March 4, 2014 When you know (rather than just recognize) the CD "Top Ten Questions" list. You know them: Does the crew sleep onboard? How does the ship get its electricity? Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted March 4, 2014 #31 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) an "up" or "down" button???? Isn't up or down indicated to the elevator by your choice of deck to go to??? The only up or down button I've seen is on the outside...to call an elevator. Where is it on the panel inside the elevator car, does someone have a pic to post? Methinks someone made this up. There's "open" and "close" door buttons, but not "up" or "down". I use open when someone needs to get on or off, unlike some people. And, let's not get into how self-serving it would be to make your own "express" elevator everytime you get in one,or at all. I have been in GS where we meet as a group in a lounge to debark on the last day. The concierge has always used a card they have to make the elevator an express one and by pass all the decks to get to the level to debark.

Cruisin4aTan Posted March 4, 2014 #48 Share Posted March 4, 2014 10 You have memorized which Specialty and No Cover Charge Restaurants are onboard9 You wait anxiously and tell everyone around you to be quiet so you can hear the Captain's 12 noon announcement. 8 You know that you can arrive to port at 11:00 AM and use the day you paid for wisely 7 You have the Bong they use for boarding saved on your smartphone so you can participate in the Bonging process as well. 6 You love watching the Position Map Channel and have it on in your stateroom 24/7 and ask the crew where the nearest TV turned to that channel is so you can track the progress. 5. You know that tonight is Pomodoro and the next one is Mojo 4. You have memorized the layout of the Windjammer and know what sections to head to for the first embarkation day lunch. 3. When you greet the captain at the Captain's party you ask him what is the Beaufort Scale, Present Position Longitude Latitude what time you will hit the next Pilot Station. 2. You hold down the Door Close and UP Button keeping it pressed to get the elevator into Express Mode so you can be the first for lunch. 1. You arrive to the port early in the morning to watch your ship come in and navigate the quickest way to the checkin lines so you won't waste precious moments when the checkin opens. lol is #2 for real??

mailmama Posted March 4, 2014 #50 Share Posted March 4, 2014 your bathroom reading material is cruise line itinerary books, every compass paper is filed into a cabinet, your bathroom decor is cruise ship related and trinkets , your suitcases stayed packed in the closet ready to go, and when the local news station uses the same bell tone as a ship for the announcements you yell out "what's the captain saying"... empty luggage tag holders make you cry.....you have a cruise addiction to which no one wants the cure:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
