We’ll be in a 2BR in the Haven for the TA on December 1. Simply cannot wait! Can you post pics of Posh when you get a minute? And speaking of smoking, can you please let us know of there’s still a smoking area on the upper deck of the Posh? I’ve heard conflicting info on that. Some say yes, others say they eliminated it. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! For our July sailing the upper deck still had smoking. Never saw anyone using the area, but it was clearly marked as a smoking area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cwtravel Posted October 2, 2023 #429 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I think they are “smoking the drink” - think dry ice, not a person smoking. But, I could be wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I could be wrong. It’s real smoke on the drink. Best thing ever. 😂. But there is no smoking (by people) at the bar. Attaching a video from the Joy last year.

scottie920 Posted October 2, 2023 #431 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Looks great. Have you checked your on board account yet? Has 10% VAT and 20% Gratuity been added to your Free at Sea Package drinks and purchases or Plus Upgrade? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted October 3, 2023 Author #437 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Oh yeah….the ship was chartered by a promotional company for rugby fans for a few weeks before this cruise. Didn’t sound like it was successful. Promotional group paid for the entire ship, non-refundable of course. But, most of the guests were only on board for 3 days at a time. And, there were never more than 200-300 guests on board at a time. As Ezry, my new fave bartender said…”weird only seeing a few people wandering around the ship every day”! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the room directly above yours in a few more weeks, and it's nice to see what they look like currently, vs some youtube videos that may not be up to date.

Rare graphicguy Posted October 3, 2023 Author #446 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Saw a question about VAT. VAT is a European specific consumption tax. We’re on a European cruise. So, it’s charged. No one likes taxes….me included. But, I’m not here to fight Spain or wherever they charge it. I’m in their country and waters. I play by their rules. Simple as that. No arguments. If you don’t want to pay VAT, don’t shop in their stores, or order any drinks, or buy from the gift shops, etc when docked or in their territorial waters. Far be it from me to tell them what they can or can not charge when I buy from them while here. End of discussion. I request this discussion goes no further in this thread! 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyskie Posted October 3, 2023 #450 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) @graphicguy Great pictures - for some reason I don't remember an escalator on the Epic. I seeing your picture - by casino machines??? We loved Posh, especially the private elevator to the buffet and pool. Nope we were "steerage" but were able to score Posh tickets. lol 🤣 Edited October 3, 2023 by Tyskie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
