Does everyone, know how to use the push button elevators, it seems so simple

[JOHN 57]

Let me see, if I have this correct.  After this cruise, I have 17 more days to go till I turn platinum. Each cruise day is 1 point.  So my estimate, after this cruise is 17 more days to go. Do I have that correct. If so platinum hear I come.

You have that correct.

Yes, they have the same system on the Horizon and Panorama. You select what deck you want to go to and you are assigned your elevator. What people forget is to press the button once for each member of your party. For example,  if you are a party of four, you need to press the button four times. This is how the elevator knows how many people are on it. Failure to do this results in the elevator being full to capacity, even though the elevator thinks it's not, so when it gets to your deck to get your party there isn't any room for you. 

[Jamman54]

Also, there are no floor buttons inside the elevators,  so you just can't jump in one and press your deck button.

Using the elevators can be a nightmare the first couple of days until people finally figure it out. 😎

It can be a nightmare everyday for someone at the bar who reaches the 15 drink limit and at the elevators tells you that they forget what floor they parked their car on in the parking garage. Then you have to remind them that they are on a cruise!😜

that is really messed up

[Jamman54]

It really should be simple.....

we are flying from Dallas on 28 September United at 0603, arriving in Newark, NJ at 1024.  We will spend the night at TRYP by Wyndham in New York, and on the 29 September take off for our cruise.  Anyone else on this flight. or staying in Newark?

[JOHN 57]

Today is not a happy day, so I will not say good morning, we are facing a forest fire, 10 miles away, that has whiped out 1000 acres so far.  We are safe so far, loaded our vehicles and rv, we are ready to evacuate if need be, thus far that order has not been given. 

[JOHN 57]

Now four our cruise, our ship is at sea, 26 days to go, and in 12 we can check in, only 3 more loadings to go
