LHT28

I think the wind complaint is more for 7108 & 7111 as you will get more wind when the ship is underway

location location location 7008 has the balcony open on 2 sides & is further forward you will have a view of the lifeboats & your neighbours 7131 has the extended balcony also but only open on the end both cabins are same size inside JMO

Ship are different in size so depends on how comfortable you are on the smaller ship R ship of Azamara I am sure both would be fine

Maybe ask at the Terrace for Marmite I have seen it there in pre covid times People seem to take all sorts of the things they love 😉

You get extra perks like a bottle of bubbly board a bit earlier get to book your specialty restaurant 60 days out tote bag (if they have them from the suppliers) use of the spa terrace 3 free bags of laundry you can order lunch/dinner from the GDR menu in the cabin during dining hours

We have seen the real HP but I think it depends on where they can source their supplies from We have also seen Marmite not something we would eat or Vegimite for that matter both are an acquired taste 😉 Same as the Cuban rum it is the American version we can get the real stuff here in Canada

Exactly all lines are experiencing food supply issues Heck even here at home some weeks there are shortages of some items

Maybe look at other lines & their reviews Ritz Carlton The New Crystal will be sailing soon Maybe you will find something suitable

Trivia is usually in Martinis so no screen to project questions on wonder how that will work ?

The front elevators go up to Horizons & down to Deck 3 when they have tendering If you use the aft elevators to go up then you need to cross the pool deck the take the stairs or the elevator 1 deck up

Maybe they do not have crew to do all the painting etc so you will see some rust I hardly think there are holes in the hull from the rust then that would be bad Many of those that worked on the ships may have had to find other ways to stay alive & other jobs so going back to sea is not for them any longer I know the USA did not get affected by covid but some parts of the World did & they are still recovering financially 🤔 Goes for the cruise industry as well as many businesses They may start to make some money in a couple of years remember many lines had to borrow big $$$ to stay afloat so now they have to repay those loans If you think the ships are bad then look at alternative vacations JMO

What sailing are you looking at?

I would not say there are NO kids maybe you have been lucky & not had any on your cruises Will say when there are kids they are usually well behaved unlike on some of the other lines JMO

They have had some CD's from Princess before most were not a good fit One guy was like Dottie loved the PA system😲

There seems to be more of them than on the O class ships Just looking at the deck plans so maybe not

in the past they had disabled the HDMI connections so maybe still the case we did have our cables to hook laptop to TV to check our photos but no luck

Did not see it on the Canadian site either thought maybe it was just me

YIKES you got lucky one year we did not even get off the ship until 10 am due to immigration people good thing the airport is close by we made the chink in at MIA just in time for 12: 15 flight

the Grand bar hallway looks the same to me 😉

these days I would just book if the price works for you it may drop or may go up Lines are in the need of money so dropping prices may not happen like pre covid times JMO

There are many pax that do not read the Currents or tune the TV to the info channels We have met people on the last day that never knew there was daily afternoon Tea Just like those that are shocked when they cancel & lose some of their funds they never read the T & C or the fine print in their contract/invoice go figure 🤔

there is no "List" if thee was we cannot mention it on CC anyway

Except there is no shade or drink other than water or sodas like at a beach club cabana YMMV

well you should not give mis information if you are not sure then say nothing If you are thinking of the sunbeds with the shades they are NOT by any stretch of the imaginations cabanas https://www.cruisecritic.com/photos/ships/riviera-607/spa-terrace-311100/spa-terrace--v14124136/ JMO

most CD's will organize a time & place for special meetings if you give them some notice & are flexible with the times
