Rare graphicguy Posted May 6, 2022 Author #201 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Things were a little bumpy last nigh. I liked it. Still a little bumpy this a.m. Don’t know how many pics I’ll be able to load as either the much ballyhooed VROOM streaming package is being run by turtles, or CC has some issues with pics recently. We shall see! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseygirl629 Posted May 6, 2022 #203 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Am I correct in reading on “Day 1” there were no shows in the main theatre? Just comedy, trivia, and karaoke? That’s a little disappointing as I have heard RCL usually puts on huge productions. I wonder if they’re still not rehearsed?

I think it’s a matter of their rotating performers. This is the first full sailing in quite some time. Just going with the flow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted May 6, 2022 Author #208 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Just spent 5 minutes listening to some gentleman tell me ship time is wrong. I have no clue if it is or isn’t. All I could do is nod and shrug my shoulders. At least he got it off his chest! 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there were 2 Welcome Aboard shows with a comedian in the main theater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this instance, when I said “show” I meant musicals / performances by dancers and singers. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably read Day 2 compass last night and got confused. Learned yesterday, that when in Canadian Waters/ports, only 1 bar per deck can be open. I usually head to Sunshine Bar in Solarium first and it was closed yesterday. Learned why 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see! Guess that might be the issue going with the larger ship from Seattle, you don't get to go through the inside Passage where the smaller ships go through from Vancouver. I rather go to Alaska on the smaller ships just for that reason, smoother seas and more scenic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I’ve heard is his announcements where he states “…this is your Captain”. So, don’t know his name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted May 6, 2022 Author #222 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Don’t get me wrong, the “ride” in no way has been rough. Some gentle rocking is more like it. This is a big ship. It’s hard to upset! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big ship. It’s hard to upset! I agree. I’m in the very front and it’s not bad to me. Gentle rocking is the perfect way to describe. Of course, some may feel it feels like it’s 30ft swells...lol The Top Tier event was a bit confusing. App said D+ and Pins, but Compass said Plat and above. They were checking cards, so I guess it was Plat and above. I don’t usually attend. It was pretty uneventful. I think people like the free drinks, but after a couple of Dirty Martinis last night, I wasn’t quite up for alcohol at 10am...getting to old, I guess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't. Princess tried positioning the Majestic Princess in Vancouver this year to sail the IP but the pilots denied them due to size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted May 6, 2022 Author #225 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Big shout out to @JessyCruises for iverseeing and organizing today’s slot pull. IIRC, we had 55 plus participants. Large fun and we came away with $10/ea. Thanks again, Jess!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
