Loyal2RCCL Posted December 2, 2008 Author #27 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Any pointers on what to do and what to miss..I have heard there is a coffee shop on board..Do they have the blinking glasses as drink of the day when you board The blinking glasses were available at night in the Viking Crown when it turns into the disco and during the dancing under the stars pool party. There is a Seattle's Best and Ben and Jerry's kiosk for your coffee and sugar fix :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal2RCCL Posted December 2, 2008 Author #28 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Is this the same pier the Inspiration docks at?? No, the Inspiration uses the Carnival terminal which is attached to the Channelside shops, directly across from the Aquarium. RCCL has their own terminal which is before you reach the Aquarium/Channelside complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chichi Posted December 3, 2008 #29 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Loyal2RCCL,Could you dig up any info about a concierge lounge addition (adaption from the card room) for me? Rumor had it that they would convert the card room by the first of the year. We are looking into a Granduer cruise in May from Norfolk. Also to the OP, please email me at my sign in name plus wellatgmaildotcom.You'll recognize the name. Chester, We will be bringing the ship into Norfolk in May. :D We're doing the b2b - Repo. I hope that the rumor :confused: is correct :rolleyes: and they will create a CL. :) If that dosen't happen, a lounge can be used as a watering hole :eek: between 5:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B and I are sailing on Grandeur in three weeks for the 10 night holiday cruise. I shot a note off to C & A last month to ask about the possibility of a Concierge Lounge... the reply stated that there is no plan to put one on Grandeur in the immediate future. You and Pat should join us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grannycb Posted December 3, 2008 #34 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I stand corrected. The Carnival ships dock on one side of the SS American Victory and the RCCL ships dock on the other. It's about a 3 minute walk between the two if my memory is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancher Dave Posted December 3, 2008 #35 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The pastries and cookies are free (or possibly with purchase?) Last NYE (Capt Rob was aboard) the cookies etc...were only with a pourchase of some sort. I like Voyager class because Cafe Promanade lets you get all the cookies you can eat without any coffee purchase...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We purchased coffee once, and used our coupons the second time. Both times, the gentleman asked if we would like anything from the selections. :) I wasn't sure if they were available as a walkup without purchase. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really shocked when I went to the Lattitudes and was told I must purchase coffee to get dessert.... this was not the case on Majesty last year or Freedom in April 2007.... what gives... just another cost cutting measure.....

You and Pat should join us! Gina, I can join both of you :cool: if there is enough room for me in your cabin? :eek: But Pat probably will not like the idea.:( We're all set for the b2b in April; you girls should join us. Bob's Concierge Lounge :) will be open, and you both are invited. I’ll send you an e-mail later, I have more to say but it’s a sensitive subject.:confused: Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
