sharonkrn Posted January 22, 2017 #28 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Glad for Guys burgers. Sad they are removing the wok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabidstoat Posted January 22, 2017 #29 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Wait, they're removing the wok??? Ships I've been on with Guy's burgers have had the burgers on one side, and the wok on the other! Guy's Burgers is quite excellent. I think I ate there four times in my last cruise on a different ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auscgguysgirl Posted January 25, 2017 #34 Share Posted January 25, 2017 We are also sailing on this ship in November 2017. I seriously do hope that they do cabin upgrades. We took this ship October 2016 for a 5 day out of Charleston. We had a balcony cabin midship deck 8 and the cabin creaked extensively when the ship was moving. So much so, that we asked the cabin steward on the last 2 nights to make the bed w/ our feet at the wall so it could ease a little bit of the noise. Had we taken this cruise as a "first" cruise, we probably would not have taken another. The boat definitely needs cabin upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mz-s Posted January 26, 2017 #36 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Wonder if the Alchemy bar extends to the aft lounge, or if they kept the aft lounge bar as it was. I liked that the Ecstasy has a full-width rear lounge (the Fantasy's rear lounge is half the size, which makes a huge difference during comedy shows) and has a bar.

Pinkyoshi1 Posted January 27, 2017 #37 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I want to see a video of the new upgrades like they always put on YouTube, hope they do soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joltfreek Posted January 27, 2017 #38 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Going on April 29th. Definitely looking forward to all the new and old stuff it's my 1st cruise lol. Anyway I noticed by looking at the new and old map it looks like the sushi bar has been replaced by a taste bar[emoji25] And they also moved some tables and slots around.

Aim1 Posted January 27, 2017 #39 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The husband (Dry Dock Dave) arrived home from this one this morning, he should have got back yesterday but the ship was slightly delayed leaving Freeport so the contractors flights were changed. I think this might be his 3rd time on an Ecstasy dry dock! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkyoshi1 Posted January 27, 2017 #40 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Where do you go to see old and new deck plqns?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joltfreek Posted January 28, 2017 #41 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Where do you go to see old and new deck plqns?:confused: Carnival's website has the new one and I had downloaded the old one before so already had it sure you could Google it and find the old map pretty easy.

Pinkyoshi1 Posted January 28, 2017 #42 Share Posted January 28, 2017 OK thanks I will look it up. I was just curious if they updated other things on ship, the Webcam still hasn't been working.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joltfreek Posted January 28, 2017 #43 Share Posted January 28, 2017 OK thanks I will look it up. I was just curious if they updated other things on ship, the Webcam still hasn't been working.:( Yeah I have a been checking the cams and it still shows pictures from the drydock. They moved some stuff around in the casino and the sushi bar was sadly replaced with a taste bar and other than the change of what everyone already said and the things I just listed there pretty much the same. I have another cruise app and it still has the old lay out and the Web site has the new one. I think I have attached the new one to the post.

cruise pup Posted January 28, 2017 #46 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) RF Here's a link from the local Charleston paper. Am really pleased about Guy's Burgers!http://www.postandcourier.com/business/grapevine-carnival-s-charleston-based-ecstasy-taking-a-vacation/article_3633f7a4-d1fe-11e6-acd1-833fcd19b680.html The article overhypes. It mentions new restaurants and bars but Blue Iguana and Guy's are counters. And it's only 1 bar. It's still going to be a relic. But it's all that Charleston's got so the folks there will be pleased. Edited January 28, 2017 by cruise pup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusing48/51 Posted January 31, 2017 #48 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just returned yesterday from the Ecstasy. Guy's Burgers and Blue Iguana were both excellent places to eat. The burgers and fries at Guy's were not at all greasy, really good, and the tacos and burritos at Blue Iguana were very tasty, lots of toppings to choose from. Alchemy Bar did not replace the bar in the Sapphire lounge, it's still there. It did replace the Society bar, and Alchemy was a favorite place to sit and relax for us. It is the most beautiful Alchemy bar we have seen, IMO. It's the largest we've seen as well. No cabin upgrades at all. Still need to bring your own hairdryer, unless you're in a suite. No fridges, and small sinks, at least in our interior. I don't have pictures to post, but the ones posted previously are exactly what the upgrades look like. I will answer questions if you have them.

chloe052004 Posted January 31, 2017 #49 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Do you know if the Ecstasy has the self serve beer station now? I saw it on the Carnival website, but haven't read anything about it getting it during dry dock. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they move the Mongolian wok/omelet station to somewhere else, or just get rid of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
