Having sailed in that room before, I can't recall the aft of the windjammer causing any noise early in the morning. Not many people venture that far aft. Above 1100, including the rest of the aft cabins on deck 10, is the outdoor seating for the Windjammer. You never here the staff making any noise.....it's the people too lazy to lift their chairs. Scrapping them across the deck. It actually starts around 5am. Who gets up that early!!😳 The cabin itself is probably the best on the ship. Views are incredible! We did 28 nights in 1100 on Jewel a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, hope you snagged your favorite cabin! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you on the meet and mingle for all three cruises? I'm so hoping that it actually happens this time! I haven’t signed up yet, since I moved them to 2023. Figured I had plenty of time. I’m on all the Roll Calls. They are pretty quiet right now, but several people have also moved them. I can’t believe I originally booked the Japan and TP leg back in 2019, and now they are in 2023. I’m sure hoping they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SummerBeee Posted October 21, 2021 #280 Share Posted October 21, 2021 @Merion_Momthanks for the link on your Mariner cruise. So far I’ve read up to Rio. Too bad about the photos though. Sounds like you were having a wonderful time. Congrats on winning the trivia Would you do a long cruise again? I’m just getting into long cruises, so far 14 nights is the longest. So far I’ve book 140+ nights for 2022 but in chunks, 6 weeks is the longest but I’m ship hopping (Jewel, Oasis, Odyssey, and back to Jewel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to be on the walking track NLT 5:45 to get my 1.5 hour of walking in before the track gets busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted October 22, 2021 #283 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Here's an interesting wrinkle: Q If I achieve a new Crown & Anchor Society status during my Ultimate World Cruise, will I receive my new benefits? A Exclusively for our Ultimate World Cruise and the individual Expeditions, Crown and Anchor guests will enjoy new tier status and tier benefits on the day of achievement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refer to that cruise as my "cruise of a lifetime". Then my cabinmate and I from the Mariner cruise went on our "second cruise of a lifetime", 52 nights on the Radiance to Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, transPacific, and Hawaii. (then I stayed on for Alaska) We then booked our THIRD "cruise of a lifetime" on the Ovation from Singapore to Alaska, over the northern route. Unfortunately, this was cancelled because of the pandemic. We are now contemplating doing part of this Serenade cruise. We're on a roll. 😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it say that the entire deposit is not refundable? Normally, no matter how much the deposit is, only $100 per person is not actually refunded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This itinerary blows me away and as it spends so much time in China, and he is Chinese born and raised, no tour guide for me, I got my own! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the Caribbean and Ireland these will be all new for me. Would love tips on China as we get closer. 778 days to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, me too. The first two legs would have been perfect...but we are already doing almost a duplicate on Radiance early 2023..so that eliminates the 2nd leg for us. 3rd and 4th...not interested in. First leg...if anything decent is still available by "sometime" in December would be just right for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted October 23, 2021 #296 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I’d be interested in just one or two segments. 9 months is too long to be away unless we’d do it between houses ( which I have thought about.) In a few years we plan to change states, perfect opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
