My guess is a repurposing of Pulse to a casino. There’s already a bar in that room. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but a minor uproar seems to have convinced Madame CEO to bring them back. It may not be until 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 30, 2023 Author #382 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Kids club Rob, don't think so. They do have an idea of venue but they have to make sure it will technically work. Let's see what happens. One thing that has been learned along the way is that one might have a plan for the ship(s) but when you get into the technical aspects of the change it doesn't work. Don't think that will be the case here but they need to run all the traps.This is why they are not giving time frames either other than 2024.

Sdancer Posted September 1, 2023 #383 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Hi Keith, Sorry, you might have answered these questions already and I have missed it. Are there dance hosts and how many each, men and women? Is there ballroom dance music to dance to? Thank you!

The Ambassador Hosts are men. The performers are a man and woman and this makes actual ballroom dancing more limited. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more time: I am glad that there are dance hosts on regular sailings (3 dance hosts might not be always enough based on my cruises on old Crystal). I cannot understand why would new Crystal have dance hosts to dance ballroom with solo ladies guests but not hire a band to play ballroom music. Old Crystal was very good about having good bands. Maybe new Crystal just needs more time, maybe a year or two, to bring back what we loved about the old Crystal. Thank you so much for your posts!

Like most things I am sure they will evaluate this as they do other programs and also see what alternatives exist as well. Adjustments were made in most areas recognizing that overall guest capacity was reduced. Some areas grew while others were reduced. Feedback is always important so those who would like to see changes as well as highlight all of the things they enjoy should make use of the guest survey provided to them after the cruise ends.
