Rare John&LaLa Posted April 19, 2018 Author #151 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The S8 particularly with the last updates has nearly the same power saving/battery specs as the S9. At least in their ad, the camera seems to be the major improvement, though my S8 seems to do better than my wife's S7. I'll let her upgrade first this time.I wanted ours to match.

Ocean Boy Posted April 19, 2018 #157 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The S8 particularly with the last updates has nearly the same power saving/battery specs as the S9. At least in their ad, the camera seems to be the major improvement, though my S8 seems to do better than my wife's S7. I'll let her upgrade first this time. Everything that I have read about the S9 seems to revolve around camera improvements. Since I still stick with a dedicated stand alone camera I don't care too much about the camera in my phone. The occasional times when I do use the S8 camera it has served me fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted April 19, 2018 Author #162 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Destroying the Dragons Lair. Another PC perk. Even the Captain got involved.

Biker19 Posted April 19, 2018 #163 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Preemptive accommodations: Dear Valued Member, Our transatlantic sailings are unique itineraries that occur just twice a year— and are generally a Crown & Anchor® Society member favorite. On these sailings, your exclusive spaces might be shared with more members than on traditional itineraries. So, for your upcoming sailing on Navigator of the Seas, our onboard crew will arrange for certain enhancements to make sure you are properly accommodated. In particular, we want to ensure that our highest tier members— our most loyal guests— enjoy the ship to the fullest while making the most of their perks. And, since almost half of the members sailing represent our top 3 tiers (with 660 Diamond, 501 Diamond Plus, and 56 Pinnacle Club Members joining us) we want your time onboard to be nothing short of spectacular. Therefore, on this very special voyage, the Diamond Nightly Happy Hour will expand from the Diamond Lounge to the entire Viking Crown Lounge, offering a bit more space for our valued Diamond and above members. As you can imagine, even with this additional space, there will still be congestion for our 1000 plus Diamond and above members sailing. But as always, you’ll be able to use your preloaded drink vouchers at the bars and lounges throughout the ship. Also, I have outlined the adjustments to the Diamond Nightly Happy Hour for you below. CONCIERGE LOUNGE DIAMOND CLUB & VIKING CROWN LOUNGE Deck 9 Deck 14 Pinnacle Club and Suites Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club Additionally, we understand that with the limited capacities in the Diamond Club, the morning rush for coffee might get a bit hectic. To relieve long waits for your specialty coffee, I have loaded one specialty coffee voucher per day on your SeaPass card. You’ll be able to redeem it in the Main Dining Room, Café Promenade, and Plaza Bar in the Windjammer. Upon arrival, be sure to check for further details in your Welcome Letter from the Concierge. Our staff will do their best to accommodate you while onboard, and if normal operations are affected, we'll make sure you know as soon as possible via detailed in-stateroom communications. In the meantime, you can visit our Crown & Anchor Society website to review your member benefits. Thank you for your understanding.Your Crown & Anchor Society Member Director,Millie A.

Rare John&LaLa Posted April 19, 2018 Author #164 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Preemptive accommodations:Does Navigator have Izumi on 14? Plus no mention of unlimited in Boleros and Schooner, or 4 drinks on seapass. I have yet to get a coffee outside of DL/CL, and have never used more than 3 of the drinks on my seapass. 4 was probably unnecessary. Coffee on seapass was probably needed I think we're getting another 200 or so eligible next week in Dubai.

Clarea Posted April 19, 2018 #165 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Does Navigator have Izumi on 14? ... Yes, and I was surprised that Adventure got a Suite Lounge there instead of Izumi. I wonder if their experience with Izumu up there has not been ideal, or they just decided having the Suite Lounge was a higher priority. On Adventure, they put Izumi on the Royal Promenade where the Sports Bar used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I got the S8+ a week before our Adventure cruise and took it into the pool with me in my pocket.
