Ocean Boy Posted October 23, 2015 #154 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) I hope you will follow along on my LIVE from the Indy in a few weeks :rolleyes: Of course I will. If I didn't tell you where the ship is you'd all be lost.;) I love being on Indy. This thread just reminds me why. I wish the ship was still going to be doing 8 nighters next year but Navigator is taking it over. The year after Freedom takes it over. There is nothing quite like playing the piano up in the Crown and looking out over the ocean. Our living room doesn't have quite the same view.:rolleyes: I think we might do Oasis next since I will not consider the ship again after it moves to Port Canaveral. I do not like sailing from there.

You should try to enjoy that piano playing experience up in Viking Crown as much as you can. That area is being turned into Izumi on Voyager class ships, and the Suite Lounge on Freedom class ships.

Yes of course - we need your step by step navigational analysis or who knows where we would all end up? :eek: You have now provided me with a clear visual of you playing piano.....for some reason it is a scene I may have seen somewhere before....but can't quite remember where.....:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynt Posted October 23, 2015 #158 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks Max's Mom. Great review as usual. Your reviews are always so calming and relaxing. Like talking to an ole' friend. I cruise the Anthem in 30 days and I'm bouncing off the walls. LOL!! :D Your review is just what I needed. Enjoy the Jewel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxs mom Posted October 24, 2015 Author #160 Share Posted October 24, 2015 [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Thanks, all! I loved the 8 and 6 night sailings. I hate that Indy is going to 5 ~ 5 ~ 4 sailings and the crew is not too happy about it either. We are going to try Oasis again in the Spring. I can only do the big, big ships once in a while. We'll see how it goes.[/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do enjoy the larger Royal Promenade. I love the Aqua Theater shows. And for people like me who can't sit still very long, the ship provides a lot of real estate to walk and explore. But I do look forward to the bit more of a relaxed pace of the Voyager and Freedom class ships. Somehow, I don't seem to find the same sense of relaxation when on Oasis and Allure.

One thing I do when on a b2b is give my cabin attendant the day off on turnaround day and let my cabin go without being serviced. At least it is one less cabin for them to deal with :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the crew is not looking forward to it. We'll look into those when Raj is back from vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis class can be just as relaxing as the "smaller" classes once you've been on them prior and don't feel the need for speed:). On a b2b we just sit in Central Park and watch the new pax charge on board. Thanks for the heads up on the new schedule for Indy. As PBC residents just 35 miles from FLL, short cruises work for us and we haven't been on a Freedom Class in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on them several times "prior" and just don't find the same sense of peace I find on the other ships. Its my issue I guess. And speaking of the need for speed... Top Gun is one of my favorite movies. :):) Edited October 24, 2015 by Ocean Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArkieCruisin Posted October 26, 2015 #168 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Always enjoy your reviews and this one was no exception. Loved your pics and commentary on Nachi in Cozumel. We were there in August and had a blast. We are booking it again for our upcoming cruise in May. Enjoy the Jewel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
