OK thanks - good to know. We will bring an old cruise card. Seems to me like this would actually WASTE energy though because the cabin can get VERY warm and take a lot of energy to then re-cool it. I guess they did their homework on this though.

Getting a bit confused as we stayed in a lot of hotels after our cruise but someone correct me if i am wrong.

Did the aircon also go off if you opened the balcony door?

Like i saud could have been a hitel we stayed in not Anthem.

No ... would they allow that?? I've never seen a gay couple up there.

We had a gay " newlywed" couple but of course the cute older couple won.

Are they actors do you think? Some of tne things the older couple said....

we are booked on Anthem in March. Has anyone sailed o Quantum and had had room 6622, 6624 and 6620 - how bad is the obstructed view

My brother was in 6620 on anthem. It is right above the smokers area. Not only was smoke a problem but the constant chatter especially early morning. The coughing and hacking was really bad too.

Keep your door closed.

Ps. Just temembered and checked , it was actually 6690 they had. Will leave for future information though.

We had 6660 which we had to move from after a day as it had a constant shudder noise. Really bad. Shame as both these cabins have larger balconies.

That one is a charter cruise, so maybe why prices are high.

Just been on Anthem and my obstructec balcony was cheaper than an inside.

Try booking for last day. My brothers group was only three people as was the group before for Ifly.

They said they had a lot of folk just not turning up for their booked times, so may go to daily bookings soon.

Yes! & we can have a damn fine cup of tea:D

 

Cheers

Tetley tea too.

Can buy decent coffee in many places or free with a package.

Saw The Gift last night in the main theatre.

Very ckever staging and singing. Still not sure what the story was about. Well worth seeing but not as good as We will rock you.

Still a few empty seats at the start of the show

We just recently purchased tickets in Europe on Ryanair. A cheap airline.

The cost for our bag was more than the cost for us to fly. It was clearly listed though and of course our decision on whether to pay or not.

We had to pay, but still cheaper than other airlines.

Always have to read the small print. Lots of extra charges these days.

Good coffee bags already packed

OMG I'm in 7th heaven along with every other Australian RCL fan. Happy dance.

Me too. I am on the Anthem next month but put me on the list for ovation.....

Clapping loudly.

The first brand new ship to sail here.

Thank you Royal Caribbean. Now to wait for the itineraries to come out.

Sailed on celebrity solstice in january with 12 month old.

Made very welcome on board. New pack and play for him. Lots of things he could eat. Even saw one gentleman every night go to the bar in the buffet and get four bottles of warm milk.

He could not go in the pool, signs out. The pool butler would tell you even if you sat them on the edge.

Loved the big lawn area too, lots of room to run around.

Best thing about Rhapsody for us was the crew. They were all happy and friendly and the service was excellent all over the ship. We had Captain Rob and he was excellent too and very visible around the ship.

 

We really enjoyed the food and service in the MDR.

 

The solarium on the Rhapsody is covered and therefore not open to the elements like the larger ships. I quite liked that.

 

I cruised with two teens and they loved the Rhapsody.

 

Hope you have a great cruise:)

They may open the roof in the solarium in the med as they did on my cruise a couple of weeks back.

Loved the boards near the lifts that tell you whats on, where places are, etc.

No quest but they did do another game that can involve the whole audience.

I found the same to be true too. My favourite ship.

We travelled with a one year old and thought the staff would hate it but they really took time out to make him feel special.

One staff member even went down to the buffet area to get a high chair for him in a speciality restaurant.

We asked if it was ok to dine there and they just about dragged us in.

The chef even cooked some food especially for him.

We were out by just after 7pm so did not annoy the other diners

Celebrity soltice has great connecting cabins.

Used them in january. Get two bathrooms too. Only problem was that the one year old i shared with paid the same price as i did.

Haha, two people already posted this on my facebook page thinking it was an April fool thing, but yes after seeing the bear knew it was real

sorry I felt the opposite, loved the show but it told me that ship is not for us, just too big I think, and it was obvious in a lot of the scenes that they had opened up just for the show, - rock wall, surf rider, not one else there, - very hard to believe. The crowds in the Promenade were more real.

Yes, a friend of mine was on that sailing...january. She said areas were roped off during filming and some done at night.

She was also asked to judge the sexiest man competition alongside Rachel.

Love the virgin mango frozen cocktails and virgin frozen mohitos on rccl. Not sure if princess do frozen ones but love these.

Can always ask

 

And in addition to double points for JS and above, you get double points if you pay double and sail solo.

But not always true.

I just sailed solo and paid double but because i did not pay "full fare" it does not count. I got a special price, so only one lot of points.

Apart from a few finishing touches (and the third level customs/ security area to be upgraded in the off season) the terminal is finished and the new mezzanine check in level is now "operational" and apart from a few teething problems seems to work OK.

 

It would be interesting to hear what passengers/guests think of the new set up , once they have used it,I have my thoughts but other points of view would make interesting reading.

 

I have had to temporarily retire the red carpet due to "technical issues" :D but please come and say hello, just ask the person at the head of the line where I am.

Brilliant work opt. Lots of staff at critical stages smiling and showing the way.

Due to needing having my hair done i was a little later than i usually like checking in, about 1130am and thought i would be in the masses.

Walked through every stage except for about a three people queue at passport check.

Even the ground level was not used, straight up to the escalators.

Well done OPT staff.

One small hint, when you have the snaking queue barricades, can you put up a short cut too. Silly going back and forth when there is no one there.

There are a few ccers on board.

But, we are a refined lot and travel incognito, so as not to attract attention.

We just slip past all the minions looking for special treatment:)

Red carpet is so passe these days.

Will check it out tomorrow for you and give an honest report.

Any incentives, besides i will be going on a cruise.

We did the chefs table last september/october as part of an 18 day cruise.

I cannot recall what price we paid but did get signed book, menu etc.

I also do not recall any specials except the package deals for multiple restaurants.

You could try this site for ideas on what is available. Have nit been yet so cannot recommend anything.
