Apparently, someone at O is going down the list of existing cruises, putting a check mark next to the ones that qualify and creating a “new” brochure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t all the Food &Wine Trails and GoNext cruises already qualify for the list? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember when I first cruised on Insignia in 2009 there was some kind of fake fireplace in the Martinis area that have since been removed from the R Ships. Maybe I'm imaging that. Anyone else remember that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were at least two when Princess had these ships, one in the library on the top deck, one in the Club bar going into the dining room and I think another in another bar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm imaging that. Anyone else remember that? Absolutely remember those fireplaces in Martinis on the R ships! When the place was packed and we wanted to have a good spot to hear some of the better piano talent, we used to sit on the raised hearth ledge of the fireplace to be closest to the piano player. Not terribly comfortable for long periods of time, but we both had adequate padding (still do).😄 Now with the newer remodels, if Martinis is packed, we stand for a bit and just continue walking.

Rare ORV Posted Saturday at 09:24 PM #10 Share Posted Saturday at 09:24 PM I’m pretty sure the fireplace is still in the library on the R ships. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
