shaun07 Posted August 21, 2013 Author #826 Share Posted August 21, 2013 There is NO WAY the North Star will be operating during sail away. Considering how little oversight there is in the cruise industry I think the North Star is an accident waiting to happen. Especially if its operating in rough seas.

mairem17 Posted August 21, 2013 #827 Share Posted August 21, 2013 There is NO WAY the North Star will be operating during sail away. It also will not sail next to the statue due to it leaving out of Cape Liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianAlt Posted August 21, 2013 #828 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Considering how little oversight there is in the cruise industry I think the North Star is an accident waiting to happen. Especially if its operating in rough seas. Perhaps. I don't think the North Star would operate in rough seas, or more likely high winds, which could be a bigger issue. (Although they usually go hand-in-hand.) On Enchantment, the bungee trampoline would often not operate as scheduled due to high winds. It also will not sail next to the statue due to it leaving out of Cape Liberty. You can see the Statue of Liberty from Cape Liberty, but the port is about a mile south of the statue. I agree, it would never be close enough for that perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix1949 Posted August 21, 2013 #829 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I have a photo of the Statue of Liberty taken during sail away with the same perspective as the one posted above. Now all I have to do is figure out how to post it :o There we go. Can't wait to take some photos of the NY sky line from the North Star :D Edited August 21, 2013 by Phoenix1949 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tls1012 Posted August 22, 2013 #834 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Awesome pictures!!!! thanks for sharing the link too. The glacier brought back memories of my 1st ever cruise which was Alaska.

nosmothj Posted August 22, 2013 #835 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Boy I guess RCCl is having no problems selling cabins. Our December 1, 2014 cruise has gone up by 20% since we booked. I would expect RCCL must be pretty happy with the response it has gotten!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect RCCL must be pretty happy with the response it has gotten!! I hope when the May 2015 bookings are open, the prices start out lower before working it's way up so I can get a good deal like you did. Some how I think Bermuda will be pricey.:( But I will still go.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some how I think Bermuda will be pricey.:( But I will still go.:D You are probably right. Bermuda is traditionally a pricy cruise as the port charges are steep. If you have some flexibility, I would recommend after Labor Day when fares tend to be lower and you will still have good weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacats Posted August 23, 2013 #839 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Same with my Jan 2015 cruise. 20% too. Glad I booked the day it opened up. My cabin type (D-1) has only gone up $100/pp for the same cruise. I booked the day after reservations opened for C&A members. Oh well. Still cheaper than the D-1's on my upcoming Allure cruise, so I feel like I'm getting a bargain on Quantum. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. Still cheaper than the D-1's on my upcoming Allure cruise, so I feel like I'm getting a bargain on Quantum. :p There are only 3 full suites remaining on my sailing, 3 Family Jr Suites remaining as of yesterday, an no regular Jr suites remaining. Out sailing has gone up an average of $300 per person regardless of cabin category. Kinda makes the 45 minutes on hold with C&A the day booking opened worthwhile now.

erbunny Posted August 23, 2013 #845 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Ok, as far as I am concerned, this is pretty close to the "end of summer", when are we going to get some official news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebrity Posted August 23, 2013 #846 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Did anyone read Adam's blog on Facebook? There won't be a water slide on Quantum. Edited August 23, 2013 by celebrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overtyme Posted August 24, 2013 #847 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Did anyone read Adam's blog on Facebook? There won't be a water slide on Quantum.
