Pick A New Feature Or Activity On a Cruise Ship

[PTarbay]

With all the talk about the Freedom and the surfing if you could pick any feature or activity for a new ship what would it be and remember with Royal Caribbean nothing seems impossible?

[brn2crz]

Lets see..I mentioned a few on the other thread.

How about a Ski Hill..How about a Medievial Times themed restaurant..You know where the wenches serve you,and they joust on horseback..

I like the floating river idea..all around the top deck.

Maybe big name entertainers...Maybe a tennis court.How bout an aquarium..Maybe an Imax theatre,or a virtual reality ride.

Hey maybe an interactive...Be the Captain for a day.:p Or,be the head Chef for a day.

Maybe film some game shows...Jeapardy,WOF or Millionaire on board.And pax get to try out!!!

What do they do in Branson...The older folks sure seem to like it there:D

 

Wow...now that I think about it..There is no limit.

Maybe a Broadway play...Cat's, P.O.T.O. Rent..ooohh what fun.

Cooking classes with a celebrity chef on board...

 

My old standby, a swim up bar!

How about some rides like the ones they have atop the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas?? ;)

[CuseJeff44]

There are a couple I would like to see:

 

1- A full scale "water park" with multiple slides (I know there are kid sized slides on some of the ships, but I mean for adults as well...within the limits of the ship of course)

 

2- A Bowling alley (this seems like it could definitely be done, lthough would probably have to be closed during high seas)

 

3- A REAL Sports bar, with multiple 10+ TVs that can be tuned to diffeerent things, and all of the subscription packages (MLB, NHL, NBA, and NHL)

Swim up bars.

 

Lap top rentals or how about computers for every stateroom. :)

 

I like the idea of bringing back top names in entertainment. On all of my cruises, we have had one famous person, John Davidson.

 

Let's bring back skeet shooting. :D

2- A Bowling alley (this seems like it could definitely be done, lthough would probably have to be closed during high seas)

Maybe it can be done.Think the self leveling pool tables on the Radiance.I love the water slides too.We enjoyed them on Carnival.I also want the floating river,Imax,themed restaurant,tennis court,rides.I remember aback in the day they filmed Wheel of Fortune on a cruise ship.I would also love a hot tub on every balcony.

the norway used to have slightly condensed broadway musicals.....beautifully done.

also name entertainers....b list or c list. really enjoyed jim nabors one time.

i love the idea of a tubing river, but also would like to see hammocks slung all over the

outside decks(with room service).

The motion of the ocean might help my game since I always get gutter balls on land. :rolleyes:

 

The lazy river idea sounds great!! That's my favorite part of the local water park.

 

How about a glass bottom cruise ship so when ur docked in the CLEAR water u can see the fish?

Awesome! That would definitely be a selling point in my family :D

[Ericknow32]

Let's bring back skeet shooting. :D

People complain about drunks, kids, and all kinds of things. I don't think it is wise to give them a gun. Now if everyone was respectful and conscious of other people around them I would say sure bring on the skeet shooting, but until then I would be very much against it.

I never give guns to drunk kids :cool: ;)

I'll second the swim up bar on one term-adults only

[Iamthesea]

Eric - It was a joke! See the grin :D . However, I am sure that the skeet shooting would be done in a controlled, safe environment with trained personnel and at certain times of the day such as with the rock climbing. Shooting participants would be checked for alcohol before allowing them to handle the gun. It's not like people would be running around with their own guns.

[yogimax]

Bocci Court and chocolate fountain

[Amink]

my FIL misses the skeet shooting :(

 

I know my hubby woudl love it, and I think I would like to try it too, but I am not as much of a shooter as dh...

[Bean2]

Definitely boccie, and maybe badminton! Also, on Serenade they have those self-leveling pool tables. Every ship should have those!

[Vacation Nut]

I would love a good telescope on the heliport and an astronomer to explain the constellations !!! seriously

[jerseygirlw/cubanheart]

Are you going on the VOS on 9/4/05? Are you worried that they will dirvert the ship to Canada b/c of the tropical storms near there?

I understand and I would love the skeet shooting. It would be a very fun activity and one that I am quite good at. The problem is that irresponsible people ruin this kind of stuff. All RCCL would need is one idiot shooting himself in the foot to go bankrupt.

[AerynSun_JohnCrighton]

Themed resturant...boardway plays *Les Mis or Phantom anyone???*

 

imax, vertial reality rides... and river tube thing sounds nice.

You know, something that could I think very easily be done would be a form of hi tech skeet I have played before, which would take place in a SIMULATOR much like the golf sim that they have. It would be based on lasers much the same.

 

It's actually a LOT of fun, and while it may not be sufficient for true shooting afficianados, it is a blast for the other 90-95% of the cruisers looking for something fun to do...

I'm not worried yet. There are ALWAYS tropical disturbances this time of year. I think they will hold the course if there is any possible way around it. TD#14 looks by all projections that it will pass a few hundered miles to the east of Bermuda.

 

I will say, however, that I hope they divert us on a warm weather sail to no where than to canada.

[donlb]

YES a swim up bar (providing the water is warm).

I also like the chocolate fountain idea

As for the skeet shooting…………sounds great, you could even have a chair hog afternoon hunting contest. I picture a point system; say 10 points per chair hog? Exchanged for tokens at the casino???

[PTarbay]

Themed resturant...boardway plays *Les Mis or Phantom anyone???*

I would absolutely love to see Phantom anywhere
