Odyssey of the Seas vs CCL!?
Oceansaway17 replied to Crusin Karen's topic in Royal Caribbean International
This summer and next will have the Symphony of the seas in Bayonne and she is Oasis class with Aqua theater and ice show and Broadway show in theatre I think you should try Symphony as well as Odyssey. both classes of ship offer a lot and yet are different. Also you will get to go to Coco Cay the private island with the big pool just like Amber Cove only with free food too. Also Royal will not charge money for flavored tea bags in buffet. and cookies are better than CCL -

Live: Apr 20, 2024 Summit 14 Night Panama Canal Westbound Cruise!
Oceansaway17 replied to mahdnc's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Yup that is why I shared my photo as we all could touch the walls -
Captain Kate on her Day 94 short You Tube showed the X Beyond passing Icon OTS and she face timed with Captain Teo and he waved back.. So, Captain Loy did not get on April 20th and not sure about 27th either. I am on this coming week and will let you know. Perhaps RCI is doing 3months like Celebrity which is 12 weeks.

Live: Apr 20, 2024 Summit 14 Night Panama Canal Westbound Cruise!
Oceansaway17 replied to mahdnc's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I enjoyed this thread, and I also watched the ship go through various locks. I love the Summit and I sailed on her in 2016 to Bermuda (with Captain Kate) out of NJ and then I sail on Summit last year from Boston up to Canada and ship stayed overnight in Quebec City. We even got to go to Bar Harbor since this year only very small boats are going. Now I am looking forward to meeting Summit again for yhe 3rd time in Vancouver to sail up to Seward. As for the PC, I went through once on small excursion with HAL after just doing Gatun Lock and they were building the new canals off to the left. Then I was lucky to sail on the NCL Bliss in 2018 for her first trip through the PC and at that time the largest cruise ship and we did the new locks. I found the older locks more interesting. Here is a photo of a small excursion through the locks and how interesting it is to be way down So, I enjoyed this thread for both PC and the Summit. Thanks for photos and I agree some of the best one are in the back of the ship. I was lucky to have perfect weather. sorry dude.. Bye have a great sail up to Canada. -
My definition of strenuous is different
Oceansaway17 replied to temple1's topic in Royal Caribbean International
If the beach is on Nevis and is the same one I went to, there is a deep decline down to the water. And the vendors bothersome too. A lot of times the strenuous part is getting in and out of bus or boats and some of the walkways too. -
oh good to know.

I have been to London 5 times now and I want to just get down to Southampton and spend a day there. I would be by myself and not sure if I want to have a stranger drive me for more than an hour. I would feel safer on the bus. I do see there are hotels within walking distance of bus terminal but a taxi is fin. Lot of thinking before taking cruises from Southampton. Did one in 2019 with Celebrity and i had a hotel package with transfer. Now I think some ships want us to use train or bus on our own, Appreciate all you for your comments and who knows I might go into London for a day too.

aw thanks for your nice reply. I will prebook like you said and pick the option if I get delayed. A little worried about getting to Southampton as a lot of cruise lines no longer have hotel packages with transportation. They send you to the trains. I am glad I did Celebrity in 2019 with hotel packages. Nice to know bus goes to Dover. I remember when more ships like say Disney went out of Dover. Hal is no longer even doing cruises out of Copenhagen. In fact, a lot of ships have pulled out of Copenhagen as well as Amsterdam. I guess water issues and locals complaining just like Bar Harbor and Key West. Glad I did Bar Harbor last year and the year before on Adventure OTS. You must come over to Miami and get on the ICON OTS. I will be on her in 4 weeks and looking forward to seeing the layout. BTW where I live in PA, I will have 90% of the solar eclipse and will watch tv coverage and not look at the sun. Well now good to chat with you.

and you have a great cruise director named BAL. I had him last year. He is great with kids. Enjoy trip, Can't say I remember ever being in Freeport.

one of these days I would love to try P&O but unsure if I can book from USA. I read that you have never been on a Holland ship even though you are on their threads is that True? glad you had a nice time. So next year I am sailing out of Southampton (Emerald Princess) and hope to take the National Express from Heathrow. Is it true reservations are not necessary? Also, thinking perhaps a train from London. Lastly, is Dover easy to get to from Heathrow? bye for now I am sure you as well as others are disappointed that RCI is putting the Indy again in UK ports.

Why doesn't Royal have a comedy club?
Oceansaway17 replied to zaylyn2590's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Yes. I agree. Some comedians think that just asking the guests questions is a funny routine. I come to see comedy written not in response to stupid questions. Also, even some of the adult comedians have gone too far and are more X rated than R. I am slowly becoming less and less interested in comedians on ANY cruise line. -
hope you have of had a good time. I think you are on the ship right now. Vision might get to return to Baltimore by June 1st.
