that's a bad change ..I cruise with my spouse but would not want a lesser cabin if I went solo!
stuffing the ships to the max the Royal Way, is already having neg results..crowding at venues, lines, slower service etc.
not everyone travels like Noah's Ark!
X goes through cycles of nice and mellow, and loud and shouty. My new ear plugs are a big help..
Next I need to invest in some good headphones. Suggestions?
Our son in law did those activities.. We had to pre book the diving and ice show, yet had lines to access them and long waits for the actual event. As I posted elsewhere..the divers on our cruise were not very good ( difficult on a ship) and the ice show was not the same caliber as the ones we can see at home! But fun for the kids!
Shows on E Class ships far surpass other X ships and Royal C.. Recently we enjoyed music in EDEN, Martini Bar concerts, and the Club..so many choices! BUT X is lacking a good island band in the Carib.. which they had on Oasis
Oasis did have a very efficient embark and disembark system..esp for such a large vessel. X could learn there!
Bottom line ..keep the two lines how they are..no further blending!
Oasis was terrible for us.. Dining was sub par, ship fairly crowded..geared toward families with kids...rock wall, flo rider, zip line stuff plus diving and ice shows .alits of line ups.
If you dont drink, gamble, smoke, enjoy spa or shop or find shows not that appealing it.would probably not be good for you..
what other entertainment options would u like to see on X?
yrs ago on Summit to Bermuda, the powers in charge lavished all their attention on Royal C cruisers, and basically ignored Celeb loyals.
They held parties, and 2 Focus Groups for the Royals..Goal was to convert them to Celeb.. no idea what the topics were as we were excluded???
We now skip the self serving post cruise evals !
thats a nice idea... we have enjoyed the Art and Architecture tours on E Class.
Food demos onboard used to be free..we would not pay...but it would be nice to see some demontrations at the EDEN kitchen..E Class.
Guess they will try new things and hopefully bring back some popular events
