Tell me all about the Galaxy

[CINDYSUE]

Hey txchinachic,

 

We are in 1208 in October 31st sailing from Galveston! First time in a suite and I am pumped! Will try to let you know how great it is!!

While nobody can beat ChesterH's review, we gave it a good try.

Here's our very detailed Galaxy Review.

Great! Can't wait to hear about your trip. Hope everything is wonderful for you. I will be interested to hear about your excursions as well.

As far as CC rooms, 1200 and 1201 on the sky deck have much bigger balconies than other CC rooms.Looking forward to sea day breakfasts on our balcony on the first half of the October repositioning cruise.

Can you tell me who the cruise director and social hostess on Galaxy are currently?

Earl,

 

Dru Pavlov is the cruise director. No one seems to know who the social hostess is? Does anyone know??? I sailed with Dru last summer on the Constellation and liked him very much. I'm delighted that he will be on our cruise.:D

Was there a problem with noise in that location? Which cabin would YOU recommend 1064 on Penthouse or 1200 on Sky deck?

[jerin]

Yes, the balconies on the sky deck are much deeper than those on the penthouse deck. I haven't actually cruised this cabin yet, but it came VERY highly recommended on more than one board that I've visited.

My wife and I were in 1201 about 3 years ago. This was before CC, but it was a good deal then and it is even more so now. We were not bothered by noise at all. The cabin is essentially the same as the CC cabin on the penthouse deck but has at least 3-4 times the room on the balcony.

 

My cabin choice in order would be 1200/1201 or a sky suite on 12 or a sky suite on the penthouse deck. We really like the balconies but even the SS on the penthouse is pretty small by our standards. Don't think we would take the CC on the penthouse deck. We'd wait for another sailing, but that's because of our enjoyment of eating out on the balcony and that would be very cramped on the penthouse deck CC cabin.

I just hope I can get the cabin I want now! The larger balcony sounds very enticing.

Debbie,

 

Did I see you post recently that you were going on the Summit to Hawaii March 26, 2006? There is a rollcall thread started and we'd love to get all booked cruisers active there. Here is the link. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=65639

Feel free to email me any questions you may have.

Anyone stayed in SS 1231 or SS1233? We have these booked for Feb 3, 2005. Curious about the balconies. Thanks for any input.

The Galaxy 11nt Panama Canl sailing Thanksgiving Day 04 will be our FIRST X cruise. MY COMPUTER IS DOWN/DEAD! I had to come to the library to check my messages!

Hi Debbie,

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one who will go to any length to check Cruise Critic.

 

Can you save the roll call link for future use or should I e-mail it to you? Garry (my wife) and I leave Monday for Rome for 3 days before our Galaxy transtlantic. We'd appreciate any help we can get in keeping the roll call near the top while we are away. It isn't very active yet. On the other hand, our Summit to Hawaii in March of 2006 is very active. Go figure.

 

We are also doing a 5-day pre-cruise land tour. I think it's tour 12 starting in Anchorage and ending up in Fairbanks where we take a plane to Anchorage and bus to Seward on the day of sailing. Is your group doing anything pre-cruise?

 

Later.

Bob
