wolfganghowell Posted January 21, 2009 #405 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks Snooze, I enjoyed it as always. sorry about the crummy weather but at least you'll be back at sea in less than 3 weeks. I guess that takes the sting out a little bit. ;) Welcome to Diamond Status. Were they still using the small room on Deck 14 for evening cocktails?

boxergirl Posted January 21, 2009 #407 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Snoozeman, did you post your compasses? I didn't see them on your website and I can't get the link to work from earlier in this thread. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogmommy Posted January 22, 2009 #410 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Great review, from your information, I was finally able to decide on when I wanted to go to Portofino's.....so thanks! I look forward to your review of the remodeled Fantasy as my friend is bringing her family in May. I will pass your blog on to her.

cruising to paradise Posted January 22, 2009 #411 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Last week when we were on The Voyager they put down all new carpet on the 7th floor port side hallway and remember "What happens in The Pig stays in The Pig". Definitely go and see Derek at least 1 night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abpmillsww Posted January 26, 2009 #412 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I don't have time to write a full review of our cruise this past week but I wanted to come back and just let you know that we had a WONDERFUL TIME (and you will, too). The ship looked really great. I did see some wear and tear but it was totally expected with the traffic. I enjoyed being on the ship and only got off the ship in Grand Cayman...we took a cab for $12 round trip per person to the beach. Eric, the cruise director, and Tracy, the activities manager are VERY entertaining. They have a Regis and Kelly type show playing on the tv each morning. They are great together. Eric is funny and quick and she is cute and silly so they compliment each other well. One of my favorite things that we did on the ship is a Q & A session with Eric (nerd, aren't I :)). He answered questions for and hour and a half. It was extremely interesting and I learned lots of new things. Make this a priority if you are on the ship. We, of course, were treated like royalty from our cabin steward (Vincent), waiter (Roman) and assistant waiter (Venkat). I did notice a few changes most I had read here and one I didn't...staying in your room until departure time (big thumbs up), $4.95 at Johnny Rockets (no big deal-only $1 more), no cash back on leftover OBC (so not a problem :D). What I had not read around here...there are no more Smart Casual nights in the Main Dining Room (it was all casual for us) and Friday night, laying on our bed, was a sheet saying that they would be pulling all of the candy out of the room refrigerator on Saturday evening to make room for candy packaged in a different way. I'm thinking something like candy packaged with RC logo or something but I'm not sure. I hope all of your enjoy your time on Voyager as much as we did. I'll be happy to answer any questions that you have. On a side note, CruiseLoverandAgent (Erica)...I'm glad I was able to find you and say hi to you. Don't you just want to hop on that ship each Sunday :)? Being that close is such a temptation. Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor moon Posted January 26, 2009 #415 Share Posted January 26, 2009 FYI - According to C&A, you can switch to MTD beginning 2/1/09 for cruise beyond that date. I cannot handle a 5:30pm dinner time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinlw Posted January 26, 2009 #417 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just got off Voyager yesterday morning, and I'll be posting a full review sometime in the next week or so. Food was fantastic. Our waiters, Eduardo from Peru and Anthony from India, were excellent. I really enjoyed Eric's humor. I haven't laughed as much in a long time as I did last week, usually because of something said or done by Eric and Tracy. The ship is in GREAT condition. Don't let previous comments about wear and tear dissuade you. There were always crew members working on polishing, cleaning, etc. Everything looked great. The only part of the ship that looks outdated to me is the casino. My wife and I had a fantastic time, and I'll get into a lot more detail when I have time to write the review. In short, RC Voyager of the Seas is a really great way to spend a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted January 28, 2009 #418 Share Posted January 28, 2009 We will be on Voyager 3/29 and can't wait. We've heard so much about Eric and were really looking forward to his humor. Like other cruisers, we've had our share of boring and not so boring CD's. However, I just read on our roll call that Eric won't be our CD. The CD will be Mercedes de la Fuente, does anyone have any informartion on her? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxbuterfly1616 Posted January 28, 2009 #420 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Does the ship stay on Galveston time throughout the whole trip on the Cozumel, GC, and MB itinerary? I believe Cozumel is in the same time zone but Grand Cayman and Montego Bay are not. Is this correct? Any info is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sptrout Posted January 28, 2009 #421 Share Posted January 28, 2009 We didn't receive anything either, but I e-mailed rcldining@rccl.com and they confirmed the availability of MTD beginning in Feb. Thanks for the update. We are still "on the fence" about this. Probably will stay with conventional dining this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinlw Posted January 28, 2009 #422 Share Posted January 28, 2009 They tell all passengers to stay on ship time (Central), even in Montego Bay and Grand Cayman, which are in the Eastern time zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margeg Posted January 29, 2009 #424 Share Posted January 29, 2009 :D Follow the link in my signature to look at the Voyager compasses with dinner times. Wow, You are really something to post all those compasses! This will be our first RCI cruise and I was wondering how the show schedule would fit in with our late dining! Now I know. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
