pamrose228 Posted October 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The ship has beautiful simplicity to it. Food has been great both at MDR and buffet. Had lunch today in Ji Ji... Mongolian wok but sit down restaurant no charge. Very rocky seas. Cove balconies closed furniture bought in . I an in Deck 7 midship perfect inside cabin. Big enough for two. Saw an Imax film. Lots of fun. Over 55 only 9.95. Best value internet $105 for entire 13 days best bargain ever. Been hanging with JH (he's really a sweetie Teddy bear) and Matt M. sexiest man ever. They call each other buggers. Got more questions ask away. Sent from my SM-N920P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMKreno Posted October 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Closed cove balconies?? Oh no! We have a cove on the Nov 5 cruise, worried they might close them off on that trip as we have to sail down the Atlantic! How is the flow/crowding? With lots of sea days and bad weather I can imagine people being cooped up/inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most use an extension cord (if in good condition). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joand452 Posted October 25, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Are you using the Cruise Critic Forums app? This works only if you're posting photos from your phone. Won't work for an actual camera, I don't think. Next to the reply there is a circle with a plus sign. Click that and you'll get a new reply window. At the bottom you'll see a square with a mountain. If you click that your photos album on your phone will open. Just tap the photo(s) you want to post. Here's a sample. I think there's a squirrel or rabbit in there: Sent from my iPhone using Forums Pretty small though and looks terrible if you want to enlarge it (at least by looking at it on my phone). Well, if anyone has any photos, especially of an ocean suite, please share! Thanks for the information about the power outlet and extension cord. Will the cabin steward bring distilled water?

RuthlessBoss Posted October 25, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Cove balconies are the worst for that reason. Why? They become an OV. If weather is bad enough to close the doors, the other balconies will also be unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted October 25, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Cove balconies are the worst for that reason. I would bet with the 4 ships that have these, that the doors have been closed on the coves no more than 30 days total between the two ships.

An OV with an oversized widow. They have to close the cove blconies off before the weather gets too bad and it becomes dangerous to do so. The opposite when they open them. We continue to use our balcony even though the cove blconies are closed off. I think they might reopen the cove balconies today. Still some bums, but the sun is mostly out.
