Rare John&LaLa Posted August 30, 2016 Author #126 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Just did a quick Scope from Helipad. Not sure why I couldn't do one earlier. FWIW, our Stream internet speed seems a little faster than Andrew is getting on Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted August 30, 2016 Author #127 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Wish y'all had been with us last week! We had beautiful sunny days, since captain changed our eastern itinerary to Costa Maya and Cozumel. Hope you have better weather soon! Tell Julia, Rahul and Bertie, "Hi!" Will do, Heidi is the star of the CL. Had breakfast with Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Lomas Posted August 31, 2016 #129 Share Posted August 31, 2016 FYI, 1890 has a speaker on the balcony. :( :eek::eek::eek: A speaker on the balcony definitely would be something that would be annoying! I just checked and there are several other cabins still available on the same deck in the same category so I am going to switch them to one of the others based on your recommendation. I was thinking of either 1878 or 1890. Do you have any issues with the door located outside of you cabin banging and disturbing you when you are in your cabin? Would you recommend the cabin you are in now or the one six down from you that still has the balcony but is the last balcony before the ones with the panoramic windows?

Rare perfect match Posted August 31, 2016 #130 Share Posted August 31, 2016 FYI, 1890 has a speaker on the balcony. :( That speaker on the balcony would be enoughto turn me off of 1890. John mentioned in his scope earlier that Laura's nap kept getting interrupted! :eek: John, does the cabin directly opposite yours have a speaker as well? I wonder who thought that speaker was a good idea. :confused: The locaton and the cabin itself look wonderful! Sorry your weather in GC was so gloomy today. I really enjoy that island, mostly because of the great diving! Hope the weather is better for the rest of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither door nor deck above are any issue so far. FWIW, the door to sundeck often doesn't close all the way most of the time. Here is the speaker. And this is the maintenance bucket, so maybe one further down the hall is better. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted August 31, 2016 Author #132 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Supposed to be partly sunny tomorrow. The cabin is great for access to sundeck and sky bar. I think we prefer being at the mid ship elevators Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted August 31, 2016 #140 Share Posted August 31, 2016 At least they have taken steps to camouflage the scrubber. When we were on Navigator and in port with Freedom this past spring the thing looked like a giant still on the side of the funnel with ladders all over the place. It reminded me of the Beverly Hillbillies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk After seeing the photo of the speaker and the maintenance bucket (I was worried about seeing that bucket parked beside the cabin when we were on the Freedom this past March), I have decided to request the change for my in-laws to cabin 1878. I am awaiting a call back to confirm that it is done. Thanks for the info and especially the photos. Now, bet back to enjoying your trip and keep the review and photos coming.

Johnamac123 Posted September 1, 2016 #146 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'm on ur cruise. How to find out about friends of bill Normally, if someone organizes a meeting, they will list it on an events board near guest services, or inquire there. Sometimes it will be in the cruise compass.
