Can anyone tell me if the bar napkins have a crown and anchor logo or are generic white?

 

:p

 

Kidding! To all the reporters, thanks! I'm enjoying it all. I suspect my first trip on this class will be an Athem. I'll be searching for youtube videos to see how Royal works the I-fly and watching those reports.

 

Hahahaha........you almost got me! To funny!!

Here's a question I don't think I've seen posted:

 

Anything going on with the 'circus classes'? I believe we were told they would have Trapeze and Lyra classes available in the Seaplex area on some days. My daughter and I both do Trapeze, Lyra, and Aerial Silks and would love to continue to do these on a ship! Any news?

Wondering how this configuration sets up with beds separated? Perhaps the small nightstand I saw on the left side (probably one on the right as well) are moved in between the two beds. Seems like the closets would limit the amount of movement of the beds.

 

Does the tv swivel and be watched from the sofa? I guess one could borrow the foot stools from the balcony to use in front of the sofa. I'm a feet up tv watcher. :p

 

The cabin looks very similar to Celebrity S class cabins. There are 2 nightstands in the video. You would take both and put them in the middle of the two beds to maximize space inbetween. That's what we do on The Celebrity ships.

 

Too bad they didn't put the closed cabinet storage in the bathroom like on the Celebrity S class ships. I can see things falling off those open shelves in the bathroom.

Hi Everyone - sorry for the delay in posting; it's been a relaxing day for us. Slept late, had lunch in the Windjammer and then had a massage.

 

I'm sitting in Two70 now and just finished uploading many photos to the Shutterfly site. Enjoy!

 

Tomorrow, I'll work on the Q&A and get it caught up. So glad we have a team of reporters to help answer questions! Thanks for being patient and understanding. Internet service has been spotty - can't wait to have the bandwidth from the new satellite!

 

Here's a recap of the last 24 hours:

 

1. After snacks and beer at Michaels, we headed to Two70 (it is like a living room) and watched them set up for the night. There are screens that come down over the windows to project on to.

2. We then headed to the cabin to get ready for dinner and stopped for drinks in the Concierge Lounge on the way. The snacks are better than what we've had on other cruises. Sorry, I didn't get any pictures yet.

3. We had a lovely conversation with a couple that's been on over 100 cruises (they're Pinnacle). There are 54 Pinnacle guests onboard.

4. Dinner was at Wonderland, and wow, it's different! Really fun and good - photos of everything are on the Shutterfly site, and I've included a few highlights below. What's nice about the design of this ship is that the restaurants are all open into the common areas; however, it didn't really work for Wonderland because the music from the Bionic Bar across the way didn't mix well with the music in Wonderland. I'm sure Royal will figure it out.

5. After dinner, we went to the Music Hall - it is a great venue. The same Beatles cover band from Sunday night was playing, and people were having a lot of fun dancing. With the ship rocking and rolling, it was quite a sight to see.

6. Then we headed to the Casino. Lady luck finally showed up, and we had a good time playing Blackjack.

7. Slept in this morning, had lunch at the Windjammer. I'll take some pictures tomorrow because it's laid out really well. Plenty of seating, including an outdoor area. Food was fine - standard Windjammer.

8. Had a Hot Stone Massage at the Spa, which was excellent. The Spa is quiet and relaxing, and there is a Thermal Suite. I'll figure out what the deal with it is when I go back later this week. It had a keycard reader on the door.

 

Sailing's gotten a little smoother today; although it's still a fun game of pinball walking up and down the halls. Who needs bumper cars?? :)

I have to say my jaw dropped when I read the first line. Very funny!

I'm sorry if this has been asked, has it been said how much the unlimited internet is per day?

 

It was $59.95 a day I believe. It was posted in a photo on social media site with info about other package options- I believe $30 for an hour, $189 for unlimited 1 device for length of cruise, $229 or $239 for 2 devices for unlimited for length of cruise
