Had a shop keeper on one of our stops give us a couple of "refrigerator" magnets and they did stick to the doors in our cabin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denali2003 Posted June 16, 2014 #236 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Av8tor -- your answers to my questions from earlier were helpful. Thank you :D The Promenade looks interesting and has some nice chairs (open area under sea walk). The Aft Promenade looks interesting with the few chairs on the corner / edge. Love the pics! We leave 4 months from tomorrow (10-17-14)!!! I soooooo need a vacation :D Did you happen to have any drinks at Bellini's? If so, how much are they?

For the first part of the cruise (7 days) there were about 2500 passengers For the second part (6 days) there were over 3000 No where near the listed 3600 capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We leave 4 months from tomorrow (10-17-14)!!! I soooooo need a vacation :D Did you happen to have any drinks at Bellini's? If so, how much are they? Kelley! I recall seeing some menus from the Royal's early sailings that showed drinks from Bellini's and they ranged from the $7 to the $15 range depending on ingredients. That's pretty normal for ANY bar ANYWHERE! The area is quite well set up and very comfortable chairs! Pretty much like Crooners! :eek: Drink ranges (martini bar) ran about the same there, and the wine prices were in the average range for most selections. By "average" range I mean that most of the prices were under $10 per glass, so they would fit well into the All Inclusive Card very nicely! That's what I plan to get on my 11/6 and 11/9 cruises!!

Av8tor Posted June 16, 2014 Author #241 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Maybe because your photos don't have many peeps in them. :) Yes, that could be it. Just wanted the ship, not the pax, so shooting in the AM and a few extra seconds waiting for a clear shot was all it took...

Av8tor Posted June 16, 2014 Author #242 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Retreat (port side) Photo above show the new wind block. Not sure how well it worked compared to Royal since it was still quite breezy up there. Retreat (starboard side) Retreat Pool and Bar Note that the cabanas now have a clear glass panel for the forward wall to help block the wind.

Av8tor Posted June 16, 2014 Author #243 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) One of the design engineers said they hoped the soot problem was fixed (he had his fingers crossed as he said this :) ) by extending the stacks a bit and changes to the fuel pumps and injectors. A aft cabin steward said the carpets weren't dirty like they were on Royal, but I did see some soot flakes when I went back to look from the aft pool area and the Horizon Terrace. I guess only time will tell for sure.

Av8tor Posted June 16, 2014 Author #246 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Deluxe balcony cabins are just a bit larger than standard balcony cabins. They have a love seat that folds out to a single bed on one wall with a desk & refrigerator on the opposite wall. Standard balconies have a 3-drawer desk (where the loveseat is in deluxes) and a refrigerator with 3 small side shelves on the opposite wall plus an extra chair. Unless you get one of the "special" balconies under the sea-walk/sea-view, there is no difference in the actual size of the balconies between standard balcony cabins and deluxe balcony cabins. It just boils down to what you desire more, a loveseat and a bit more space (sacrificing drawer and shelf space) in the deluxe or more storage capability sacrificing the loveseat in the standard. Deluxe Balcony Cabin - Small fold-out love seat next to bed/nightstand Deluxe Balcony Desk, Refrigerator and drawer with hair drier in it. This balcony is a bit larger than normal as it's on the aft side of the forward point extension under the sea-walk. Standard Balcony Cabin - Three drawer desk instead of loveseat Standard Balcony Refrigerator with 3 side shelves Edited June 16, 2014 by Av8tor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moksha22 Posted June 17, 2014 #250 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi is there any clarity on whether wines bought as part of a wine package (silver or gold) from the mdr can be consumed elsewhere - like in the room, at other bars, dining venues etc. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
