ncklhaus Posted October 9, 2014 Author #26 Share Posted October 9, 2014 are you using the ship's internet to post here? what's the charge? Is it a fast connection? Does the iConcierge app work at all? Thanks in advance. The connection is very fast. It was $89 for 1000 mb. I've not used half yet. I am using the app but without other people using it, I don't see that it is necessary. If your friends are on Facebook and/or have the Internet plan, it's not necessary. It us fantastic for checking your account and to see what's happening around the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgharea Posted October 9, 2014 #27 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I second the Internet. I'm on this cruise also with the 1000 MB plan. It's prob 3G speed. We have three iPhones and an iPad sharing and still have over 400MB left. • Sent from my screen to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishICouldCruiseNow Posted October 9, 2014 #28 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) What are your thoughts on the food? Have you tried the Main dining rooms or any specialty restaurants? You mentioned Vibe so I'm guessing you were able to score a pass. Now that you're on the ship do you find that Vibe was worth the cost? I sail in 2 weeks so I'm excited to hear your thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions! Edited October 9, 2014 by WishICouldCruiseNow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've eaten in Taste, Teppanyaki, Cagneys, O'Sheehans, La Cucina, Uptown Bar and Grill, tonight is Moderno. I cannot say one bad thing about any restaurant. Cagneys fries are everything you have heard and even better. We're going to try the raw bar and Shanghai tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canwegonow Posted October 10, 2014 #31 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'd love to know what day the laundry bag special is offered. We're on the next sailing and I want to know if I can cut down on my packing! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momofcandk Posted October 10, 2014 #39 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Just posted this question on the boards but I guess you would know first hand :). How much is a can of soda on board? Trying to figure out if the soda package is worth it or not but can't do that unless I know how much each one would cost if purchased separately Thanks Bring your own case of soda on board. Porter takes it at the curb and it will be delivered to your room Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbt518 Posted October 10, 2014 #44 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I was just wondering if you'd run across a bartender named Big Al while on board. He was one of our favorites from the Star and he said he might be going to the Breakaway when we last saw him. We're going to be on board in November, just wondering if he is still around. Thanks!

CoralHunter Posted October 11, 2014 #45 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hello, I am interested in finding more about Vibe. What is the cost, is it true there are limited passes, is it worth it, and if I go for one is this something I can do before getting on the ship or should it be one of the first things I do? Thanks for taking the time to do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare conandrob240 Posted October 11, 2014 #46 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I'll help a little here. No jazz brunch. Vibe passes cannot be purchased prior to sailing, yes, limited number (50?). If you aren't among the first few groups to board and line up, you won't get a pass. Do a search for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACE Posted October 11, 2014 #47 Share Posted October 11, 2014 JoAnn: thanks for being available for answering Questions! Have a few more for you: Did the Breakaway sail on time Sunday @ 3pm? I believe there is a Welcome Aboard show on Sunday @ 7:30pm? Water slides, Rope Course/Walk the Plank, and Zip Line: do you sign a waiver and get a wrist band and then the days you want to partake, just just get in line when they're open? Thanks again for answering our questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for answering our questions! Yes, we sailed right on time.:) The welcome aboard show was at 7pm in the theater. We did not sign any waivers for those activities, but you have to sign one for the Hippo Slide in GSC. There was no waiting for anything! Just amazing. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't among the first few groups to board and line up, you won't get a pass. Do a search for the price I believe they sell 80 passes. They were $79 each for the week and worth every penny!
