kathi316 Posted May 29, 2007 #26 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Greetings from Myrtle Beach! Gamecock fan here :p but loved the review anyway! I'm considering this cruise for myself and 2 kids next year. Your review has really encouraged me to go ahead and book! Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemson Cruiser Posted May 29, 2007 Author #27 Share Posted May 29, 2007 :D I found this on webshots.com... It was not our room, but identical except for the pullman beds. The bathroom is on the left. Small vanity/desk on the right and the closet. We put our suitcase under the table, between the two beds. We put the lifejackets from the closet underneath the bed, and this freed up plenty of space in the closet as well. Alwaska, Muster was at 4:15pm, and we were back in the room by 4:45pm. That would give you 15 minutes until sailaway at 5pm. :) firefly, lol at the Carnival board...that's where I got the idea for the review. This is the review I was trying to emulate http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=540296&highlight=glory+western but his was much better! amybear, roast beef is my second favorite food...but filet is first. :D Your right, still wonderful, but not a filet as advertised.

Clemson Cruiser Posted May 29, 2007 Author #28 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Oliverthecat, I took Bonine religiously every 12 hours, and did not get sick. We had the most motion leaving and returning to Port Canaveral. I wouldn't worry at all about it, just take something like Bonine beforehand, and enjoy your bday. :) Oh yes and GOOO Tigers! Kathi, hi neighbor! Port Canaveral would not be a bad drive from Myrtle Beach. We stayed at the Radisson, and you can park for free, and they shuttle you to the ship, saving you around $12 (parking at the pier). The Adventure Ocean had plenty for kids to do also. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veryhotred Posted June 1, 2007 #38 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I wonder if it is always like this from this port? We sailed the Sov 5/7/07 and the first night was VERY rocky..we were bouncing from wall to wall walking the hallways and by the time I was in bed I was getting nervous! Thankfully I had taken something the nurse had given me so I wasn't feeling sick but I heard the next morning many were throwing up. Also the last night of the cruise it was once again very rocky. You did a great review, the pictures and all made me remember our cruise, thank you!!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovebahamas Posted May 30, 2008 #42 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I have read that they serve sodas in a 2 liter bottle, was that true on your SOS cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc320 Posted May 30, 2008 #43 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Great review but I had to laugh as it's a year old... didn't realize until I read that Mike Swarkarski was the cruise director...he was our cruise director on AOS this May...:D I agree though he is a riot!

Janecool Posted May 30, 2008 #45 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Boy this review really had me confused. I loved the review and especially the pics. I felt like i was there. It looked like my photo's from my cruise. We also stayed at the raddison. However, what confused me was the rocking of the ship. We were on this ship just last week and I couldnt figure out how come they had such rocky waves and we had such calm waves. After reading and looking closely I noticed this was may of last year. Not a problem just was noticing. I really enjoyed reading the post and loved the pictures as they are so clear. Anyone going on her anything soon, I hope you have a great trip as we did.

Xaphrie Posted May 30, 2008 #49 Share Posted May 30, 2008 This thread got me excited all over again for my upcoming cruise on SOS in August. Excellent review and pictues, btw... :) I remember when I first set up my countdown clock I had 156 days left. I'm down to 79! Tom Petty said it best - "The waiting is the hardest part." :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted May 31, 2008 #50 Share Posted May 31, 2008 sorry you missed jetty park, heres a picture we took of it, i thought i had a better one but this is the only one we took That location(by the white buildings) is exactly where we "stopped" to pull over and let a guy with a medical emergency off couple of weeks ago while on the Mariner.......it was strange to start cruise and stop a few mins later............
