juliesVacation Posted June 29, 2018 #201 Share Posted June 29, 2018 So happy to see the Viking Crown is still well...my favorite spot on the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare APDMOM Posted June 29, 2018 Author #202 Share Posted June 29, 2018 thanks ..love traveling with you The suite lounge was a dud today. We showed up at 2:30 (starting time), and the room was packed. The slide show had already begun. I guess they started a bit early, since it was already so full. We will try again next week.

Rare APDMOM Posted June 29, 2018 Author #203 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Continuing our ship tour... Above the library is Royal Caribbean Online. Computers are available for guests to use. I never saw anyone here. With the increased use of mobile devices, I can see this area being changed - at least with fewer computers in order to use the space a bit better.

Rare APDMOM Posted June 29, 2018 Author #204 Share Posted June 29, 2018 On to the pools on deck 11: Soft serve frozen yogurt is available from the arctic zone. Surprisingly, there is no hand sanitizer by this station. There is a sink in the corner, but I did not observe anyone washing their hands. The frozen yogurt is very good though! There is plenty of outside seating close to the Windjammer, if you like eating outside: Splash Away Bay: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted June 29, 2018 Author #206 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Stadium seating is reserved for suites/ gold card holders: Toddler pool rules: The pool water was pretty cold. It was also very crowded by the pool, since we have a sold out cruise with many kids. At one point, I counted 19 people (adults and kids) in one of the hot tubs. We did not spend much time at the pools. We definitely prefer the quiet of the balcony on sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise a holic Posted June 29, 2018 #211 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yes, there's a solarium for age 16 and over, with a pool and two hot tubs. I "assume" no additional charges. Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted June 29, 2018 Author #216 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Tip: If you want to have a good seat for the parade, show up around 4 p.m. at the pub. Or, book a promenade cabin. DS and “Oupa” watched from 7583: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cft8 Posted June 29, 2018 #220 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I'm enjoying your review. I love the idea of a B2B where you do two different itineraries. I'm a pretty new cruiser and it seems like I most often see people talking about B2B where it's the same itinerary. I think I'd enjoy it a lot more if it was different ports. I hope you enjoy New England & Canada this week. We cruised there last fall and I loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted June 29, 2018 Author #224 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Must have gone smoothly, because boarding began at about 10:20. We were relaxing in the Solarium by 10:40. Very smooth process! We did not even have to leave the ship. We sat in the Imperial lounge while 2 customs officers came to check our passports and visas. There were only 17 of us, and it was very quick. We dinged “off” the ship in the lounge, received our new key cards, and dinged back on - all without leaving the lounge! Cape Liberty is the place to be for a back 2 back!
