Didn’t like small pool, no quiet area (except cabin), the color red everywhere. Yes--this. And silly things to most people but I love the 80s style arcade--all free games.No one ever talks about the arcade, am I the only one who still likes to play Space Invaders? Private karakoke rooms included. The free ice cream shop (not soft serve) called Lick Me till Ice Scream. Also the fact that I can tell my cabin steward I need more water or what-not with the tablet, not leaving notes or waiting to see them. And especially the lack of relentless upselling and extra fees. And the fact that most of the other passengers are chill and friendly. Edited January 5 by Gretchendz 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw the captain during the most recent transatlantic at least every other day. One could easily mistake him for a crew member. His boss (commodore/fleet commander?) was also with him on a few occasions. I was recently on a HAL sailing, and the noon announcements by the captain were more fitting for a resort in the Catskills. This exactly, the black of traditional nautical uniforms makes it difficult to know who is who. We ate lunch beside the captain at the Galley once and really only noticed because my wife was close enough to see “Captain” in tiny print below his name on the name tag. Otherwise same polo and gray pants as almost everyone else onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyTrain2 Posted January 8 #32 Share Posted January 8 I didn't set any records on Daytona but I did wear out a path between the game and getting hot pretzels - and a few of the specialty treats. Tested out the theory that you are a worse driver when intoxicated. SPOILER - You are a worse race car driver while intoxicated. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last night, bought an expensive bottle of champagne and shared it with other folks at the bar. I didn't want to leave money on the table Had a great time, for all the reasons Walter outlines though I don't miss hearing from the captain, LOL. Thanks Walter for the tip on the corn at pink agave, it was excellent 🙂 That's exactly what my daughter and I did the last night with our leftover bar tab. And yes that corn was very good!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
