Keep up the good work Sarge..:) Have enjoyed every bit of info you have kindly bestowed upon us!! :D;)

[alreadypacked]

Hi Sarge: Looks like you were able to get a mini-fridge added to your cabin. What did have to do to make that happen?

 

Thanks for the great info. and photos.

 

Would like to know this as well. Thanks!

It was mentioned in a previous post - his wife asked for me (there are limited numbers on board)....

Mini fridges are limited now? I had one on my Liberty cruise in an inside room the other year. I understand cutbacks but taking away minifridges now?

There are no 'fridges' as a standard item in the rooms (except for suites) on this ship - so if you need one you have to ask for me (e.g. medical requirements, etc).... unlike other ships where the fridges are a standard amenity!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your "Live From" !!!

 

I really can't believe how great the ship looks and all the new additions! I did not think I would want to sail this ship but I am re-thinking that for sure! Looks like they added the best of the Breeze and then some more.

 

It will be interesting to hear reports about the Serenity Deck when she sails from the states to the Caribbean. I don't think Med sailings really contribute to spending a lot of time lounging on the Serenity Deck so I think we will get a better "feel" for the atmosphere from people who trans-Atlantic and after.

We are on the 16th June sailing.

 

Where in Scotland are you?

We are on the June 16th cruise too - hope this is okay as we are from the other side of Hadrian's Wall South of the Border - So looking forward to it - see you on board :D

It's the older ships that don't have minifridges in every room. The Sunshine (aka Destiny) was built in 1996. At that time, ships being built only had fridges in the suites. I can't remember about Spirit class, but Conquest class (including Liberty) & later ships have them in every room.

The ship went through some weather last night. It was great. We should be arriving in Messina soon. Taormina, here we come!

Well it said earlier in this thread that there was, it just depends what deck you are on. As i remember it, its the newer cabins that actually have a fridge as standard. We are on deck 5 and expecting a fridge.

Spirit class (Conquest and Dream classes) and newer have the Mini fridges.

Thanks, not much of a line at GS. How about the gifts, or are they all devoured?

I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't put the submerged loungers in the serenity pool area like they showed in the artist's rendition. I thought that looked like heaven and would be where I spent my time if I were on this ship.

At the bottom of the green and blue racing slides I see the electronic board saying who won. However, it doesn't look to be working. Have you seen this work? Does it keep time of the race? How does it work? thanks!

Yesterday was the first time I noticed people in the pool. It has been too cool. Perhaps in the Caribbean.

[crusing4fun]

Do you remember the name of the furniture store in Sorrento? Do they ship to states and how were the prices?

BTW, the food looks amazing on the cruise! We leave tomorrow for Barcelona for the next cruise on the Sunshine! So excited and love seeing your pictures everyday, thank you.

It also looks to me to be quite a bit smaller compared to the artist's rendition. And the waterfall extends out further as well :eek:

Think you are referring to Cuomo-Luckys in Sorrento. They have exquisite inlaid wood items from music boxes to pool tables and everything inbetween. You can google them for their website info.
