It’s only visible because these cabins can be seen from across or within the ship. Honestly, we’ve hung a bathing suit on the chair to dry, but we generally put the hanger on the back of the chair so even if our cabin was visible, no one would see the clothes. M Personally in this humid air, unless they are dripping, they will dry faster indoors with the AC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I was on the Festivale in 1979, my second cruise. The first was Holland America Statendam in 1976. I remember getting a booklet printed with the names and home towns of all the passengers. That'd be quite a hefty book on today's ships! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear..that must have gotten a lot of attention...poor guy! Yes, the waiters did walk around or dance around with plates on their heads. There's just nothing like your "first cruise:)" And now we're going on beautiful Harmony and envisioning John and La La's cruise through John's review. When I look at John's future cruises, I dream of being like them when my DH and I "grow up." If only I could get my workaholic DH to RETIRE!!!.

BND Posted August 9, 2019 #340 Share Posted August 9, 2019 8 hours ago, jdg623 said: I agree. CATS is one of the most popular stage shows of all time. It's been seen by millions and has grossed billions worldwide. It changed the face of musical theatre. It's not for everyone and I respect that. But it wouldn't still be around if most people felt the way many on this board seem to feel. I love CATS. I saw the original Broadway cast back in 1982 and have seen it countless times since then. Whenever we're on the Oasis, I attend all three performances. I'm the one up front singing (silently) along with the cast to every song. 😎 I've seen a lot of Broadway shows and CATS is by far at the bottom of the list. We go to NYC about every 12-18 months for a few days and go to several shows. CATS biggest problem is it's outdated. I remember wearing leg warmers in the 80's, but there are plenty of people who don't know what they are. Their costumes remind me of Jane Fonda. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DH wasn't all that impressed either. Very, very 80s. Like I said, it reminds me of Jane Fonda in her exercise heyday. Lycra and leg warmers. I don't have to like it. You do tend to defend the show quite a lot. Most posts I've seen about it are not very positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG cancelled it due to engine problems I started cruising on the 4th sailing of Premier Cruise Line. Early April 1984. Did a ton of Premier because I was working and didn’t have time for long cruises. Then I started trying them all out and got to Princess in 1996. Sky was moving to Asia and we hit a 12 day Alaska Vancouver Vancouver. That was a great cruise because we were able to visit Seward and see the Kenai peninsula by boat, Valdez, and every one of the Inside Passage ports.
