I can see all of the compass on page one but can only see the pics on page three.

Independence has a special Cigar lounge with a bar -- it is indoors but it is only for cigar smokers.

Any one know the hours it is open?

I know this has been asked before but we have to book AA because we have there credit card and that's the only non stop they offer to o'hare. We will be departing on the Indy on a Sunday.

No balcony, no cruise for me.

Back in the 80's no one ever thought balconies on a ship were possible.

We honeymooned on the Song of Norway then sailed Sun Viking and Nordic Prince. The unstreached Sun Viking was our favorite

Wow,your 500th post was a great one.

Actually, lets not assume - your analysis is flawed. The actual percentage of smoking households that might elect to go elsewhere is lower than 20%, not higher.

Did you take into account that other couples that might cruise with the smoker. I know a number of couples that vacation together. When the rule on balcony smoking came into effect they all decided to try AI because most did not care if they cruised or not. So to get a true picture you have to take that into consideration.

I was going to say the same thing.If ships go 100% smoke free we will be looking at AI's also.

Nice pic. Thank you.

Wow,that was quick.Thank you very much.

Does the Indy have windows in the dining rooms. I can't tell by looking at the deckplans or outside pics.

Hello everyone! My sister is booking a short cruise on Majesty of the Seas and I wanted to find out what is the best cabin to book. She is booking an oceanview room. Help please!!!

 

I also wanted to find out about the beverage policy. Are you allowed to take water? I read on their website that you are not, but everyone is saying that they take water. I did a while back. Can a recent cruiser please let me know.

 

Thank you!

Decks 5 and 6 have picture windows rather than port holes which are on the lower decks. Avoid deck 7 because thats where people canwalk by and look in to your cabin.

Me too.

Thanks for the link.

make sure you use a secure or encrypted email like "Dropbox" because your information can be hacked... Word of caution

The internet is getting very scary.

Captain Andreassen was great.

Yes,he had a lot of class.

I had a picture of him that I saved from photobucket but the owner took it down. He captained our honeymoon cruise in May 1980. That cruise got us hooked.

I lived at 23rd.st. and Wesley where are you from.

Dumb question.What is a Freestyle machine?

We try to arrive at the terminal around 10:45am.

Do they have a diamond lounge there?

Royal says 4 hours before sailing but I thought they began check in at 10:30 or 11:00am.

The cruising 'bug' started for us in the late 70's when we'd watch The Love Boat on TV...then we went on our first cruise in 1978 on NCL's MS Starward and we've been hooked ever since. I remember first seeing the Starward, thinking what a BIG ship!! Then the SS Norway pulled in next to it and overshadowed it. But no matter, we loved that ship and sailed on her twice. We're fortunate enough to be going on cruise #20 in November, all thanks to the fun we had back on the good old Starward.

Was that the ship that had the 2 big fins on the back?

Wow.Thanks for the link.

Smokers are living in the past. Time to adapt.

If you are a smoker it's not that easy.

Carnival dose not allow people to reserve chairs.
