udecide Posted September 7, 2014 #152 Share Posted September 7, 2014 We did Hawaii to Vancouver in April, it would be interesting to go the other way. Enjoy that Aft cabin and keeps those pictures coming. I also look forward to your opinions on the wifi. I am assuming they have not installed the new O3B internet on there yet, just the unlimited wifi. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinman66 Posted September 7, 2014 #153 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Went to the casino with Marie so she could play her usual $20 on the slots. Five minutes later she cashed out $204. I told her she can use her own $20 from now on. Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk Jees.

I'm assuming better weather/sailing to Honolulu? Looking at this as our big cruise possibility for 2016. We are now try to do at least one cruise a year that is not Caribbean itin.

I have not done the reverse spring route yet but we will be trying it on Radiance in 2016. I primarily like this direction because the at sea days are at the beginning and I usually need that time to unwind from work. That way I am rested for the islands. [emoji3] Also the weather on this side of the ocean is usually nicer in September than April. Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never been to Hawaii before so I think this would give us a great opportunity to see highlights of each island. Can I ask what wifi package you got and how it has been?

Rare Lionesss Posted September 7, 2014 #157 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Bill I know I would not complain if I was on a cruise, but, taking in the size of different ships I have a question for you and Marie. Once you have sailed the Oasis class ships do you find it difficult to cruise on the smaller ships as far as activities, exploring and things to do in general? Thanks And as always LOVE YOUR REVIEW Safe travels. Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks And as always LOVE YOUR REVIEW Safe travels. Sea Ya We went on Allure in May 2013 and actually I find the reverse, it will hard to go back to such a huge ship. on the smaller ships we meet people and actually see them again from time to time. The crew also gets to know you or most at least try. On Allure I felt like I was in a shopping mall, people walking by never to be seen again. Too much walking and waiting for elevators too We are going back on one of the big ones (Oasis) but it is for the ports. Sorry judging from what you wrote you must like the big ships so that is probably not what you wanted to hear.

PCWalton1 Posted September 7, 2014 Author #167 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The post with the panoramic photo was much larger, causing the text to become smaller. The next page of this thread will revert back to normal. Edit: since this is the next page of the thread you can see the text is back to normal. Didn't realize that happens. I'll skip the panoramic pictures in the future. [emoji4] Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pstone1 Posted September 7, 2014 #172 Share Posted September 7, 2014 10 minutes wait for omelets at Windjammer. Need to go to MDR tomorrow morning. Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk Hi Bill! Just caught up with you and Marie! Sounds like you are having a great cruise so far! Thanks for bringing us along! We were in 8098 on the May reverse trip and LOVED our aft JS! We ordered the room service breakfast the first morning and ate it out on that wonderful balcony! The food arrived piping hot and delicious, I guess due to the cabin's close proximity to the kitchen stairs. After that, we were hooked and ate on the balcony eleven of our thirteen days!. If the weather's nice, you might want to try that option. Again, thanks for the wonderful pictures and video so far! We are really enjoying your cruise along with you!

PCWalton1 Posted September 7, 2014 Author #173 Share Posted September 7, 2014 NFL on the big screen but not many around to watch as it's still chilly. I checked the ship's course on TV to make sure we were not headed back to Alaska. [emoji14] Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
