Rare Saint Greg Posted March 3, 2019 Author #877 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Some thoughts: Ocean Plaza. I’ve found with this layout I almost never go to ocean plaza. The only thing beyond ocean plaza is Havana so I almost never go that far. Arcade. The arcade is up on deck 6 fwd with the thrill theater and the imax. I like it because all the kids are deck 6 fwd...and I’m never deck 6 fwd. Elevators. I’ve mentioned before how certain elevators go to certain floors. Here’s what makes it really dumb. I’ve had this happen a couple of times. It’s 6:30am. I’m on deck 3 fwd going to deck 10. I hit the up button..and wait forever. Why? If I hit a button for the elevator that goes to decks 0-12...it doesn’t light up for the ones that go 3-12. There are three sets and you have to hit all three. And if you hit all three all three will eventually stop there. So someone comes up and hits all three. He gets on one and the people on the other two elevators have to stop for nobody. So you end up stopping in every floor sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book when rates are good, book when they offer OBC, buy 10% off gift cards and watch for price drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted March 3, 2019 Author #883 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I don’t think urchin and fam next door realize we have to be out of here less than 9 hours. They’re pretty darn loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know how it navigated through the thick fog. I have never seen a ship come in with that much fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted March 3, 2019 Author #890 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Matt said under these conditions it’s normally a 3-4 hour delay but the captain did a great job this morning. No debarkation until 8:30. Edited March 3, 2019 by Saint Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
