I DON'T GET IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mmpanda1946]

Why does it seem like darn near everyone is worried vibrations on a ship.

 

Good grief your not at home sleeping in your bed, you are on a SHIP.

 

You that worry about vibrations should have cruised years ago when a lot of the smaller ships had vibrations, creaks, and groans, and GOD knows what else.

 

Enjoy the cruises and don't worry about the little things.

The best part of a cruise is a little rock and roll...

"These moments we’re left with - may you always remember

These moments are shared, by few

And those harbor lights, lord they’re coming into view

We’ll bid our farewells much too soon

So drink it up, this one’s for you -

Honey, it’s been a lovely cruise."

As long as those vibrations mean the galley is busy, I say BRING EM ON!

Is there anyone who is NOT humming the Beach Boys song in their heads right now?

 

Vibrations are good. Scraping, gnawing, shreeking are bad

 

Happy Cruising

Well, sometimes it just happens ... when too many people down on the Plaza deck put quarters in their beds at the same time.

Quarters.. hell I just swipe my card under the pillow, that quarter can run out at the worst time.

ROFL, I so was singing that song in my head, but thought I was the only "Dick Clark Wannabe" on these boards!

Whee Doggies! Why can't we get a room with a bed which takes quarters? I guess we have to spend more money for a bigger cabin!

Ok, gotta ask. What does that quarter thing mean about the Plaza deck? I am booked on the plaza deck due to my late booking. What else is wrong with the deck beside it being so darn low on the ship?

[juliejoe]

Crafty,

 

There is NOTHING wrong with the Plaza deck - it is a very convenient location. I have not come across one in recent years, but motels used to have a slot to put a quarter in to make the bed vibrate.

 

Now..... ..... I am eagerly anticipating reading the other answers you get about "the quarters thing". I know one of our very clever cruisecritics will do a great job of explaining it.

[karfest]

Crafty-

I had mentioned in another post that when we pulled into port, our bed shook like the old "magic fingers" they used to have on hotel room beds. (anyone much under 40 won't remember these) My mom never let me do this so I never got the "magic fingers" experience. Maybe now that I'm older I understand her reasoning!

Anyway, the vibration is a good signal to get out of bed, run to the balcony and greet your new port.I thought it was great fun and a reminder that,yes,I am on a ship.

Hi Crafty. You have been taken by our sense of humor. First, the plaza deck is great. You are near the shops, internet cafe, the atrium, all the inside goodies, and a short elevator ride up to the pools and the food. Did I mention it was close to the shopping? Now to our great sense of humor. The post was about vibration!! We thought that vibration was good. Some even thought it was a good time to get close. VERY close!! Some thought the feeling resembled the hotels you use the quarters to make the bed vibrate!!! That is where you came in!! If you hang around, you will understand our demented minds a little better. Have a wonderful cruise!!
