Teach2pre Posted June 12, 2018 #126 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thank you so much for sharing your cruise with us. We’re in the exact room for our cruise in August! We are so excited to go see Alaska for the first time. Enjoy your vacation and take good care of “our” room! I’m really enjoying your review.

Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted June 12, 2018 Author #128 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I stand corrected on the pool situation. I spoke with a life guard this morning who confirmed that the pools are heated - 81 degrees. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise2getaway Posted June 12, 2018 #134 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi, do you notice the waters being rougher than the caribbean? A blogger from May 24th said several people had trouble the first day or two. Curious to know what you felt on deck 9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted June 12, 2018 Author #135 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I don’t notice the seas being any rougher. Day 2 was a the roughest when we got out into open water. Bingo in the star lounge was all the way forward and the room was roasting hot- that was easily the worst I felt all trip but it had apt to do with the combination of room temp along with the motion. Later on that day I was fine. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted June 13, 2018 Author #144 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Our whole group had lunch in Chops yesterday. It was great and is definitely a step up from MDR. I had the burger- i wish remembered to take a pic but apparently was to eager to get after it. It was a double decker with cheese bacon and tomato. [emoji1305][emoji1305] Shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were at least twice the size of MDR shrimp. Many of the others ordered the Filet Mignon - most were cooked to the correct temp. but a few were not. Overall MDR food had been a little underwhelming. Not bad, but just seems to lack something. Service is great. Considering Giovanni’s for dinner tonight... To be continued... Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted June 13, 2018 Author #145 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Of course soon after i commented that seas were pretty normal we hit the open water again. It got pretty rough around 6pm yesterday. There were bags with motion sickness bags attached to the railings of the stairwells which I told recall ever seeing before nor did I think it was thaaatt bad out. I definitely feel the motion of the ocean as Captain Mal would say but it hasn’t been enough to hold me back in any way.

maweberpa Posted June 13, 2018 #146 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Glad to hear it hasn't been rough enough to hold you back. I was very concerned on my first cruise, western Caribbean on Oasis, and they had the bags in the stairwells pretty much every day. It was so bad one day we couldn't dock and at other times rocked so much you couldn't safely walk the outside track. Thankfully I was well medicated and didn't have any issues. I plan to be similarly medicated for our Alaska voyage, but am hoping only the days in the gulf are problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCirlin Posted June 13, 2018 #147 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Looking forward to reading your posts, 28 more days and we will be on the boat! We are on the July 13 sailing too. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted June 13, 2018 Author #148 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Seas are down to 8 ft now - not bad but noticeable. Victoria B.C. will be out next stop tomorrow. Forecast is 63 degrees with 30%chance of rain which is a massive improvement from 40 degrees with high winds and intermittent rain.
