@Saint Greg.....what fantastic memories you are creating on this cruise.....your web site will be jamb packed once you get it all posted!  You do an awesome job of report LIVE!

 

Is it my imagination or since this is a sea day does the ship seem crowded now that you are all on board at the same time.  It seems that way based on your posts today and looking at the passengers.

 

I am sure you will find your own "spot" to hang out, but you do not seem to remain in one place for any length of time.

 

Thoroughly enjoying following along!

Yeah it’s crowded. Feels more crowded than panorama but when you think about it. There’s no brewery here. No real desire to go to the sports bar and watch tennis. The tv screen is such that you can’t sit at a bar and watch it. It’s low and not facing most of the seating. Doesn’t seem like there are a lot of pool side activities. No bar seating in serenity.

Isn’t there a rule against going topless in the buffet?

when I was getting that cake earlier this guy was running around in there with no shirt on.

 

Yes and there should be signs posted on the wall at all entrance doors to the Lido restaurant stating it, including next to the auto-doors at the aft pool. It reads ' shirts and shoes are to be worn in the Lido ' or similar. The sign is about 6x9 so it doesn't stand out.

Is a

White Russian supposed to bubble like this or did she give me a soapy glass or something? I just don’t remember them being like this.

@Saint Greg.....thought you might be enjoying some quiet time on your balcony during these sea days!


I provably haven’t sat out there for more than five minutes at a time. I don’t like quiet time. I get bored pretty easily.

On 6 it’s like. Not a regular door. Watertight door I think. I don’t know if that’s normal on deck 6 or not. I’ve never stayed in a forward room below deck 7. I need to check out the other decks a see what they’ve got. Some times that waterproof door will be propped open and you can go out. Sometimes it’s closed and I’m not sure how to operate it so i don’t mess with it.

 

What is a water proof door? Is it this picture you posted?

Looks like the 10, 9, 7 forward decks are mostly normal. The one  difference i found is the deck 9 door is port side only.

This is what they have on deck 6. Which I want to say is standard. I just

forgot because I never stay this low.

Hi @Saint Greg🙂

 

Thank you so much for the info & photos of the Forward Observation Decks. Extremely helpful!

 

Deck 5 wraps completely around.

Doesn't matter. I regularly see people come into the buffet with no shirt or shoes, literally dripping wet. And even worse when I was on the Celebration last November someone left a seat in the buffet sopping wet which you couldn't tell and thus I got my shorts all wet from sitting there!

Unless that milk came out of a frother, bubbles aren’t usually included!
