Rare silentbob007 Posted May 22, 2016 #180 Share Posted May 22, 2016 This was posted today from someone on board. Zip closed. Aqua theatre closed. Abyss closed. Solarium closed. Starbucks closed Grease cancelled no hot water - Maintenence problem . #harmony These types of things happen with maiden voyages. You either accept you are going to run into glitches or wait 6 months for the ship to be broken in. I was hot about X or Y not working on Quantum but it's the nature of this type of trip.

Agree - We were not expecting perfection, and I think the price reflected this. Our view is we are one of the lucky few (thousand) people to be on this amazing ships and things will go wrong. However, that's the nature of a shakedown cruise. We're on holiday, so that's all what matters and so far its been amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintjulip123 Posted May 23, 2016 #184 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Okay Shirley, what do you want to know? I have a Studio cabin booked for the end of September. If I had booked a normal cabin for just me it would have been another couple of hundred dollars. Personally I am wondering just how small the cabin is, but since it's just me... And it's just a place to sleep and shower... I am booked in a solo outside cabin for the Transatlantic. I too wonder how big it is or isnt. If I booked the normal cabin it would have been more way more. I hope someone will post a picture. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Most of the Studio Oceanview rooms are denoted as being 96sq ft - so I'm thinking similar in size to the Anthem Studio Interiors, but with a different layout, perhaps with the bed nestled against the outer wall and closet/desk between bed and bath. There are a few listed as 103 sq ft so assuming they are just a foot deeper front to back for whatever reason. No matter what these rooms will be cozy :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is similar, I will be ok. Cosy for sure. I have one more question, is there a way to search just for the solo cabins? I am sure they go fast.

We have seen many people using them, and we do have the cups for them with our package, although haven't used them ourselves yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare little britain Posted May 23, 2016 #196 Share Posted May 23, 2016 12727 view at sail away. The purple slide is a real eyesore and obstruction to what was a lovely view imho. Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourkeBlogs Posted May 23, 2016 Author #197 Share Posted May 23, 2016 We are just having breakfast in Americon Icon, although service is slow to say the least. We've been here around 45 mins so far and have not been served our food. It took around 25 mins to get a tea and they have no fresh orange juice available so I ordered a banana smoothie instead, although when it came it was strawberry as they had also run out of bananas. I also just checked out account and 3 drinks have been put through even though we only had 2. Not an issue for us as they are included in the package but if you are paying for drinks keep and eye on your statement. While we are waiting for breakfast I thought I would upload some pictures from last night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
