10,000+ Club (5/15)

  1. Same here, and at this point I'm pretty flexible on their definition of "small". I'd be happy with some new design in the same size range as the Voyager class. Under 100K gross tonnage would be even better.
  2. I was on her back in November, it has just become extra seating for WJ again. It is still themed as Rita's, but I never even saw the bar open.
  3. Glad to hear the Vision Class will be around for a while, that (hopefully) means the Radiance Class has another 5+ years. As someone who prefers the older/smaller ships it is nice to have options especially now that Carnival has scrapped most of the Fantasy Class.
  4. If it helps, you're also allowed to carry on a 12-pack of sodas or water.
  5. As a fan of the entire Fantasy class, I wish it could be all of them, but since I had the most cruises on Inspiration I gave her the nod. It's going to be a dark day when the last two are gone.
  6. Once upon a time, yes, those decks were cordoned off to allow topless sunbathing. It was discontinued before they added the water slides which have their entrances on or above that deck.
  7. Then why ask the question on an open forum to begin with? If you just wanted people to agree with you, shouldn't the thread have been "I'm going to give my free Diamond picture away, post here if you do the same". To the topic of the thread, I think Merion Mom hit the nail on the head. It might work, it might not. I have given mine away in the past, but I've also been told no because I wasn't in them. Just remember that you haven't earned any "rights". You've earned loyalty perks. Perks which can be taken away at their discretion if they feel it is being misused. It's great they allow us to share the unused drink vouchers, but they apparently haven't given that same blanket ruling to the photos. This isn't unkind, it's just reality.
  8. On the Fantasy class ships I find that the best outdoor place to get some quiet is either the Serenity area (Promenade deck aft) or the the sun deck around the water slides. I know that seems strange with all the kids, but there's no band or music back there. The deck that wraps around the funnel is also pretty out of the way, and mostly quiet.
  9. I completely agree with the OP, I am also very much over the Oasis Class. The friends I frequently travel with love them though, so I have to do one a year. The rest of the time I try to stay on smaller ships, especially Radiance Class. I wish Royal would do a new class at some point for those of us not into gigantic floating theme parks, but that doesn't seem likely.
  10. On Conquest in May we were able to access the room at 11 when we boarded to drop off luggage. It was already made up and our room keys were waiting on us, no issues at all.
  11. If your heart isn't set on the Hilton, Radisson at the Port has a fairly large pool deck area. You'd have to look into whether they do day passes though. All the reviews I've seen on here were from people staying pre or post cruise.
  12. It's been hit or miss with Starlink for me so far. Pretty good on Indy last December, but not great on Harmony in January.
  13. I'm not a fan not so much because of the looks, but because they won't match all the old ones.
  14. Similar experience on Conquest last week. My buddy spends a lot of time, and I'm assuming money, in the casino. They gave him a nice Ocean Suite which we shared, we both had Cheers package and they sent us both to the steakhouse one night. As a non-gambler, I was more than happy to cover gas, parking and a pre-cruise hotel night for him letting me tag along.
  15. Yes, they were being used in the terminal at Miami, to obviously limited success.
