They really should add a slide or something to get down to boardwalk quicker. 🤣🤣 But the slide would mess up that view. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, wouldn't want anything to get in the way of the view of the aqua theater with the lovely netting in the background & gigantic logo hovering above.😉 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I wouldn't want to lose the chance to view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Makes sense & I respect your opinion. It's a great way to get a sliver of water view on a budget. But to me, a boardwalk is a fun, festive place complete with games, rides, greasy food .......and slides. That's Boardwalk view, imo. Plenty of OVB that offer full water views. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2 completely different kinds of views of the water, much rather view the wake off the back then the side views of the ocean. Try deck 10 which is the overall best for views of wake, aqua show's, Tv screens, happenings on the boardwalk etc. Side balconies get none of that. But everyone is different. So pick any balcony cabin you like best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OF course, get as many people there as possible. That is RCG's gold mine. You see the prices that they are charging for goodies there. To extract as much money as possible from you wallet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just a matter of time until they make the dock longer so they can have 4 ships there at a time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBE4 Posted January 7 #112511 Share Posted January 7 Still snowing but should be winding down in the next few hours and be over by 12 or 1 pm. Its been consistently snowing since 5:00 pm yesterday. According to my weather app, we received 9 inches but it looks less. I'll measure the old fashioned way with a wooden ruler when I go out to clear the driveway & sidewalk later today. A couple of my neighbors have been out since 8 am, in their usual race to see who can be first to clear their driveway. Seems silly to me as they will be our again later today. Good thing I'm not competitive, I'll pour myself another cup of coffee, make some waffles & wait for the snow to end completely. 🙂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is when the temp drops later the slush will freeze. My parents, who live about 4-5 miles from the coast, have more snow than I do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind also shoveling all of Manhattan? I'd like to have no snow when we get there on Wednesday please. Thanks. 😜 The long term forecast looks good for us right now...Thursday and Friday should be in the mid 40s and sunny. I'll take it! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pick any balcony cabin you like best. We tried a boardwalk in 2023. DH says not again. We used our boardwalk balcony maybe twice briefly. It was noisy and zero privacy. When we want to introvert, we want the quieter ocean view. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be there in Feb on Anthem and Liberty is there the same day we are. It wasn’t crowded at all at the Beach Club. Although it said it was sold out, there were lots of open loungers, and only 3 or 4 of the OW Cabanas were in use. I guess they would rather see them empty than to charge a reasonable price for them. When we left that area, it did seem more crowded, but not too bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted January 7 #112518 Share Posted January 7 When we were at Coco Cay yesterday, there were tons of jellyfish in the water by the OW Cabanas. One little girl was catching them, and moving them away from their cabana. I am sure there are probably several environmental regulations she was violating, in doing this relocation. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted January 7 #112523 Share Posted January 7 The snow we had yesterday is all gone after having rain all night long. We had about 1 hr of flurries then brief period of sun while we took the christmas tree outside to the corner of the backyard incase the birds want to use it. We took down the remainder of the lights outside and I am putting away the remainder of decorations in the house. I started a box of christmas items to donate to a local thrift shop. Too many items we haven't used in a couple of years but some I just cannot part with for sentimental reasons. I have beef stew cooking in the crock pot for dinner tonight. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted January 7 #112524 Share Posted January 7 Sorry if I haven’t been around or kept up. Lots of things going on. Slowly deconstructing Christmas. Having a hernia makes it go a lot slower plus Linda is one armed so she can’t help much. I hope everyone is doing good. And happy cruising to all those currently on ships. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
