Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. that orange ball was closed and used for yoga not bouncing. Also, the VR attraction was closed and being removed.
  2. thank you. I think some people take offense when someone doesn't like something on their favorite ship.
  3. I see you are in Oregon. I sail out of Florida those ships are not down here.
  4. I said I had a great time. My point was this ship was so different in many ways from the oasis, freedom and Voyager class. I figured it was a different builder. Someone mentioned quantum class was probably built for the north and I saw most of those ships are for Alaska or up north
  5. I never said I was surprised. I made a statement. I made observations and then made a statement about them. I leave out of Florida. I did mention newer ships, vision and radiance are older ships. I did mention asking if these are a different builder. Freedom class, voyager class, and oasis class, have the same feel. this is a huge portion of the fleet. This is the reason for the post. I didn't realize they switched to pull out couches in wonder
  6. then they should have looked at a better option. MSC has bunk beds that fold down into a couch here you can see the chair is now locked in. and no room to walk by you kind of have to leave the bed down or maybe ours was broken since it did not go down easily
  7. Nice ship, but I do like oasis and freedom. class. The things I didn't like didn't make sense, especially for families. like the rooms and the pull-out couch which blocks the way and makes the desk unusable you can't pull out the chair and sit so in the AM my wife can't sit and get ready without putting the pull-out away. IMO bad design. I saw this in one video but didn't know about the desk and we had to leave the pull-out down to easily slide away. I watched many videos and Royal has a theme that didn't seem to follow that theme that was my point.
  8. I'm going to bit my tongue on this comment. I do tons of research and look at all the videos I can find. pictures and videos are one thing experience is another.
  9. Sailed on her Nov. 23 So much is different compared to the common aspects of Royal ships. Different shipbuilder? It seems like it was made to fit Royal's design. This is just my observations - No real promenade. It's smaller and it feels more like carnival where it meanders. - No car art like all the other ships, or at least the newer ships. I always take the kid's pics next to the car. - SportsPlex I liked the sports plex but it hides the back of the ship since you can't walk through it. SportsPlex has a second floor and I think there was an elevator but it was hidden in the back. If you were in a wheelchair or couldn't climb stairs you probably would never go to Playmakers or the upstairs. If you're not looking for the Flowrider you won't find it. IMO I was on the ship for 8 days and never went to the back of the ship. the only way back there was going to deck 16 and walking around the sports plex outside. since there are no water slides you don't really see a need to go there unless your trying to. - The arcade was a disaster. It's like an afterthought, games are spread out. some on the second floor some on the first then there were more games on the other side in the corner. Then half the games were broken (I know this is not part of the layout just mentioning don't spend the money on prepaid arcade they had to refund me my money because nearly 40-50% of the games were broken) They should reorganize the arcade. put all the ping pong tables and foosball together and all the arcade games together. - No waterslides. Most likely because of the sports plex. No perfect storm. - The pub has food!!! Though I was not a fan of the food I tried. I had the fried pickles and they were spears, not chips. and the pretzels were more of a traditional NY soft pretzel. Usually, I find bar pretzels are softer like bread. The food wasn't bad I was not a fan. But hey they had food which most of the pubs should IMO. who doesn't love bar food? - 4 Person rooms, Who designed these things? no pullmans? only a couch which we had to put away ourselves since Royal now doesn't do that. the couch is too close to the desk so you can't use the desk when it's pulled out. You have to be careful everyone kicked the couch at least once. the path around the couch is less than a foot. You have to walk past this to get to the balcony. That's why we had to put the bed away so we could use the balcony. Really bad design. its a nice room otherwise. For 2-3 people and no pull-out couch, it's a nice room. - The shower door swings out and doesn't slide together. This is fine but when they slide we can have 2 people in the bathroom. you can't really be in the bathroom if someone needs to get out of the shower. No big deal just different. - Windjammer, is great as always, always love the food. The back of Windjammer was not used it had a station but it was never used. and the seating was so far from the buffet. These are some of the best seats, but they come with the cost of being like 150 feet from the buffet. - They have wearables!!! I like the idea but...This system falls short. I'm in IT so maybe I'm biased as I can make this system work great. you still need your card. What is the point of the wristband if you still need your card? I hate lanyards and using my retractable keychain. The servers still need to take your card to get you a drink. this is a dumb process IMO. let me use the app or have an iPad like Kids Club. I don't need a card at the kids club the wristband has the info and they tap it. I have to have the card to get off the ship. They yelled at me for scanning my wristband which has the same info on it. they both scan the same on the tap. I had my card in my wallet. Had a great time and looking for my next cruise but I'm not a fan of this ship with my family. If just me and the wife ok sure, but for families like ours in one room no thank you
  10. On odyssey ots No more steak only chicken. The steak was my favorite.
  11. It's the experience. They are not huge candy kids. but they do like the options the candy store has. things you don't just see anywhere. I guess its a walmart or target run.
  12. I was looking but could not find anything. My kids were good wanted to let them get something.
  13. OK so recently my wife had an accident she will have surgery, next week on her knee. We still want to go on the cruise. That said, we are starting to look at our options. I know we can have a scooter onboard. We are going to Aruba and Curacao. We are renting a vehicle to drive around and see things. Do I bring a wheelchair to take off the ship? I don't think anyone has a scooter attachment for the rental. I'm not too sure what is offered. You just leave the scooter in the hallway at night? We thought the power chair was better the basket and handlebars are in the way. I'm not trying to move from chair to scooter to chair and more just stay in the chair.
  14. My aunt is taking her first cruise, and I was giving her some cruise items to buy. One of these was a battery-powered USB fan. We have one and take it on every cruise. My wife needs airflow. I have never traveled on NCL. My aunt sent me a message saying it's on the prohibited list. I was wondering if this was for bigger fans. Or if anyone had any experience with this.
