Who is the ship model constructor and how much would it cost to have it built? I'd pay $2k. Found it! $2K, maybe someday on eBay 😆 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an Andrew vs. Toby competition on an upcoming cruise! So long as I get the age advantage I’m up for it. As for the hair flip, it might be a Canadian thing. Owen and I do it as well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted February 1 #780 Share Posted February 1 Still not seeing the crowds that I expected. Empty loungers (not even a towel on them), empty tables. The Aqua Theater seating looks VERY uncomfortable (seems to be a theme on this ship). Not sure that I'd ever want a Surfside balcony cabin on this ship. There seems to be a lot of not very soothing noise and not much to look at for enjoyment. Thanks so much for taking the time to do all these videos with commentary! You are giving us all an amazing overview of the ship. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ReneeFLL Posted February 1 #781 Share Posted February 1 12 hours ago, LobsterStalker said: Things such as this are just horribly thought out ...Or , maybe it's brilliant ? Are there that many "Star and Pinnacle" that simply want their own space to feel special , to the point that they can be given the least comfortable and functional chairs , and that is irrelevant ? ... ? Why do you think it’s about feeling special? It’s a benefit for the cabin they booked or for the C & A loyalty tier. Are you even diamond? Does getting free drinks make you feel special? If we don’t get there early enough to get a seat, then 9 times out of 10 there will be a pinnacle seat for us. This is the first ship that I’ve seen them in a different color and not the same as the others. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they even make a reservation or just show up and displace non-status members from their seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted February 1 #783 Share Posted February 1 12 hours ago, LobsterStalker said: comfortable and functional chairs , For years I have complained about the chairs on all the ships, hate those little wicker chairs they used for the promenade, so painful! Does ANYBODY ever sit in them before they buy a thousand of them??? But even the slatted benches in Aqua Dome look extremely uncomfortable! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacing out activities/pools/all day free food options on multiple decks I think will have a benefit. Having both the kid's pool area and food away from the main pool deck should free up a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is disappointing if they don’t have a solarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused at your response to my post , as I was merely responding to your apparent dislike for the seating offered you as your 'Tier Benefit'.....Agreed , Royal should do better ! ReneeFLL Rare 9.3k February 15, 2011 Ft. Lauderdale #753 Posted 16 hours ago "Star and Pinnacle seating in the Royal Theater. No thanks. They are the white chairs with no drink holders. They aren't that comfortable either" My point would be that as a pinnacle benefit Royal should absolutely provide a preferred Seat and not just a token area , that by your observation is less comfortable and less functional seating . Hope you enjoy the rest of your week Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are giving us all an amazing overview of the ship. first there are 1K kids on board, or so we have been lead to believe, they will not take up many loungers as they cannot sit still!!!!! I will comment on chairs when I am home, as I do not want to walk-the-plank!!! Ditto on the Surfside cabins And I am having a blast doing this, since this is my first time. But there is a group here that we all got together before hand off the roll call to do this corporately. And everyone has been fantastic in their contributions. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
