Rare APDMOM Posted February 4, 2017 Author #278 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I see you had a cove balcony...what was your room number? Sent from my iPhone using Forums We were in 2309. We chose it because we read reviews that stated there are six cove balconies on each side that are not directly under the large lifeboats. This is the location of 2309... you can see there is only a small rescue boat above it: Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani85bri06 Posted February 4, 2017 #279 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Ok, we're in 2277! I picked it because I was worried about the noise from the galley. We're under guest services so hopefully that's quiet lol! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaharis1701 Posted February 5, 2017 #280 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Loved the review! Great pics. Thanks for taking the time to right it. Cruise on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpat0408 Posted February 5, 2017 #281 Share Posted February 5, 2017 We had 2373 and 2375 cove balcony and the galley noise was terrible all night. I know the people in 2371 states to us they called to complain at guest services but saw no difference Also the raw sewage smell on the balcony was an everyday Thing, I guess we were downwind Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstalk Posted February 5, 2017 #282 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've been reading mixed reviews about the chat feature in the Hub app. Such as odd delays in receiving messages.

tandemcruzr Posted February 5, 2017 #284 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hi APDMOM -- Still in Jax doing your sail away photos? We'll soon be on the Elation. Loved your review and pics. Good luck with the new camera. We were on the Magic 1/7 and 1/14 sailing. Erin and Sean were very good in the Atrium. Really enjoyed them. However, when we heard them in the Red Frog Pub, the sound was way off. We had to look to make sure it was them. Don't know what the difference was. We were in cove 2260. No smells, no noise (under Shore Excursions), quite a bit of spray but it wiped up nicely. We too saw flying fish. Amazed at how long they seem to be in the air (sure the wind helps.) :D We've done a lot of cruises, but I like your numbered reasons for doing more. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be very unpleasant! I am keeping notes to see which balconies sound better in terms of noise and smell.

Rare APDMOM Posted February 5, 2017 Author #289 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've been reading mixed reviews about the chat feature in the Hub app. Such as odd delays in receiving messages. Did you experience any issues with the chat? Sent from my iPhone using Forums We did not pay for or use the chat feature. I purchased the basic wifi plan for our two cabins (my parents were in a porthole cabin), and we used WhatsApp without any problems or delays. Occasionally, the hub app would not load (error message would say it is on vacation :)), but it was maybe 3 times the whole week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always fun to see my Fascintion faces here! I will gladly go take pictures for you if I am available. When do you leave? We do not get down to the river as much as we used to, but we still LOVE it!

Ashiepooh Posted February 5, 2017 #292 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) LOVE the magnetic hooks idea! What wall did you put them on? Where did you buy the hooks if you don't mind me asking? We always have so much stuff lying around. Edited February 5, 2017 by Ashiepooh Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashiepooh Posted February 5, 2017 #293 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I'm sorry for asking so many questions...I noticed the Coffee Bar. The Sunshine had Java Blue which included ice cream floats and milkshakes. This was included with the Cheers package. Anywhere on the Magic for shakes or floats? Trying to determine whether to get Cheers in July. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted February 5, 2017 Author #295 Share Posted February 5, 2017 LOVE the magnetic hooks idea! What wall did you put them on? Where did you buy the hooks if you don't mind me asking? We always have so much stuff lying around. I bought them on Amazon. They are $9.99 for a set of two. It is a bit more expensive than you can get at the hardware store, but these are very strong and durable. They also have a protectice backing that keeps them from scratching the surface. We love them! Search for: Magnetized Tool Hooks For Grill-Fridge-Cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday departures are easier for us to catch, so we can "see" you there. :D I have you on my calendar. Send me an e-mail so that I can have your address to forward the pics afterward.

We always have so much stuff lying around. I was thrilled to have found this tip for our last cruise. I found a 2 pack at Walmart. Others have said Amazon. My wal mart ones worked great! I only brought 2, but wish I brought a few more bc we had 4 in an inside cabin [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzyandrew Posted February 5, 2017 #299 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Do they have any sort of "night lighting" in the bathrooms at night? They did on RCCL Allure Of the Seas. Or do u need to bring a light? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
