CVU Posted April 26, 2015 #102 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Shocked to hear that smoking is still allowed in the casino and that it drifts into the other public areas. Yep, it comes up the stair cases in the Promenade on the Freedom Class too..... Still get some smokers on the balcony too...... although most seem to go to the casino now as it is smokier.

TheGinBoy Posted April 27, 2015 #103 Share Posted April 27, 2015 NikC, How is the ship looking in general? I know a number of people had said that she was quite rusty in places before going into dry dock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxopete Posted April 27, 2015 #104 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Pics I have seen show her polished however the photos on twitter from people on board showing the dirty pool etc and cabins that are falling apart dont look good :-( Just hoping its post dry dock blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying-dutchman Posted April 27, 2015 #105 Share Posted April 27, 2015 NikC, Have you perhaps seen the new inside cabins on deck 3? (former night club..). I'm wondering how they look and if they are just like other inside cabins. The reason I'm asking is that normally cabins are these pre-fab blocks, but I'm not sure if that's possible during a dry-dock. (you would need a large 'hole' in the side of the ship I assume...). Thanks for sharing your pictures, would love to see more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikC Posted April 27, 2015 #110 Share Posted April 27, 2015 NikC, How is the ship looking in general? I know a number of people had said that she was quite rusty in places before going into dry dock... The outside is gleaming, freshly painted and no rust in sight. I had a long look while in a bit of a queue to get back on board today :) I did notice a small amount of dirt in the solarium pool today, as someone has posted on Twitter, but it's nothing major. Our toilet had a similar sediment in it at one point too but that's cleared now. I have noticed a few bits of woodwork that have been sanded and not yet varnished, but we're talking minor details here that to be honest shouldn't cause anyone to complain. The poor room attendants are having their work cut out as an unavoidable symptom of new carpets is they are still shedding quite a lot of fibres so need constant vacuuming at the moment.

TheGinBoy Posted April 27, 2015 #111 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Sounds about what I'd expect to be honest. To put in new cabins and restaurants they'll have had to pull the plumbing apart and put it back together again. Same with all the painting and sanding, bits will be done as the ship travels. On my last cruise on Liberty, 9 months after dry dock, they were vanishing hand-rails. It's part of ship life. I did think the twitter complaints were a bit heavy handed, but hey ho. Glad you're having a good time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kccrzr Posted April 28, 2015 #118 Share Posted April 28, 2015 NikC: Thanks for taking the time while on vacation to post all of the great photographs - the ship looks great. One more drinks question, if you don't mind. Do you happen to know how much a basic well drink/mixer costs, such as G&T or Bourbon & Coke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayneyl Posted April 28, 2015 #120 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi...daft question.....we are on the all inclusive package and can see it is a little limited for wine...is it just a case of if you order a more expensive wine they charge you the difference or would you have to pay the whole amount? Alternatively I guess you could upgrade but not sure it's worth it...does anyone know? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Jayne I think you have to pay the full amount if you want a wine that's not on the package...the alternative is to upgrade your package...the next pack up is an extra $15 per day. I have this wine quandary also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGinBoy Posted April 28, 2015 #122 Share Posted April 28, 2015 As a fellow wine lover I'm disappointed that there isn't a Vintages aboard EoS. I thought they might add one in dry dock, but no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
