Oh wow, we cruise Voyager again next month, first cruise back on her in many years.

Maybe that's why it's not on Icon class any more. After a couple times for the songs, shake and burger, we didn't bother going any more, then when O class came out, we have done breakfast a lot, but haven't spent any $$ there in at least 15 years. Being from Texas I had never even known about JRs until we cruised Voyager. It was a novelty with the singing waiters, I suspected it would eventually be phased out.

Our 3rd 2006 as well. We cruise March 23rd, 🤗

Can't wait to try them on Icon. We're headed straight for that area the minute we board.

Boy, do you live on the wrong planet............

There have been many who posted they were afraid the noise would be too great with Surfside right under Hideaway.

Berry Islands of which CoCoCay is one of.

Do not miss the ice show, spectacular!

The more relevant question in my case is can I afford it. We could afford the price we paid in Oct. '22 but not the current pricing. Whether it's worth it is relative. I know we'll want to cruise her again just by the reviews, but we'll need to plan better and save a lot of money if we do. There are plenty of places still on CoCoCay where you can be almost the only peeps around, you can take the tram to all of them now. I've been searching for the perfect ship for our 30th in 2026 but Xcell, Celebrity's newest Edge class ship is a fraction of the new Star of the Seas or Icon. So it'll probably have to be her.

I just watched a video that interviewed a couple who stayed in the Surfside balconies and they said there was no significant noise associated with kids as everyone is afraid of there. I'd go for it, they're nicely done up cabins. And come back and tell us about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx4tQgm-7BQ at approx. 4:30 on the video

That sounds really helpful. In 31 cruises there have been many time I've walked up to where my cabin was and realized, wrong end or side, etc. Usually do my baby flip flop magnet but its getting old 🤪

WE're done with Caribbean ports too, been there done everything, just chill on a new ship!

We're looking at it for our Jan.1, 30th anniversary but also looking at the inaugural, ain't scared o'no Hurricane! Excited to see the next one and whatever sculpture they're gonna put on the Lido!

We've done GS on the small ships twice on shorties, never the big ships or longer cruises....looks like we've already waited way too late! 😥 Our cruise buds did the loft this summer and she's already said, nothing but the lofts for us from now on....I just said, good we can live on your balcony when we cruise!

That's what I'm thinkin....but we need to save more pennies. LOL

OK my first is always a mojito, but I think I'll spring for the 1400 since its right there when we board! Again thank you guys and to all who are cruising again tout suite, YOU LUCKY DOGS YOU!

Hey, did anybody have the 1400 Bars signature drink? With big bubble on top? Just wondered, looks interesting!

I have no doubt we will love her based on this thread and You Tubers reviews, she is fabulous. I am looking at Star for our 2026 anniversary...it's steep but I have an idea we will want to repeat our Sept. booking.

It's their signage, not mine....tomAto tomato, I just wanted others to know you can get out other doors but through Playmakers.

I love love love that song! Now which of you kids is going to book her again? And remember......Sleep is for the weak! 😉

I don't think it was good design though sticking Playmakers in like it was an afterthought, but we'll be sneaking out through the track.

Which is also called the outdoor promenade and you can enter the inside anywhere there are lots of doors to the jogging track/promenade. I do not plan to exit through Playmakers. That's what the large double sliding doors in Absolute Zero are for and the signage over them says Exit to Promenade.

Except that is incorrect. There are two other exit points at either side of the rink that lead into the Promenade.

Elegance like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Sweet!
