Sheik Posted September 27, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'm curious too because the hottubs weren't working when we were on the Galaxy 25 August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORAY Posted September 27, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Here is a report dated Sept 26 by a couple on the ship now!!!! My wife Tara and I have now been aboard the Galaxy for 24 Hrs. IMO. having been on both very early sailings (3rd inaugural) of both HAL Oost and X Connie, we have a good idea of what a new ship feels like. So far we see very little difference between those ships and the Galaxy. T-pools and hot tubs here are all operational, and we see very little so called wear n tear. Sure, the T-pool here is very small compared to the Connie or Millie. (Free w/Suites) True, there's no Turkish steam baths. On the other hand, unlike the gaudy-vegas glitz of the new ships, the Galaxy is decorated tasteful, understated, and quite elegant. The casino looks brand new. Computer lab is also new. True if you really look closely, you'll see the need for upgrades in replacing older plastic furniture in the aft deck 11th floor, or the occasional window is foggy, paint needed on a balcony light, but that's being really picky, looking for things-lol.... Our 10th floor sky suite is immaculate, looks brand new, the patio is teak wood and large, and our first dinner here on board was truly truly SCRUMPTIOUS. There's also nothing like having your first breakfast in the aft area deck outside in the sun while passing the Stromboli Volcano and Messina Straits... More importantly, the Turkish ports are back on... Hope you enjoy your time on the Galaxy. So far 24 Hrs in, It's a great ship, with all the hallmark X service one would expect...

duckman715 Posted September 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2006 how is the weather there now? We were on Galaxy Med last year 10/5/05 for ten days and weather was delightful. No need for a jacket. Rained one day is all. Temps in 70's - low 80's during day. Low 70's to 60's at night. Seas calm as well. Hope you have a great cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyboom Posted September 28, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2006 My husband and I are going to be on the Galaxy the first week in November. What is the weather like there now? How "formal" are the formal nights? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheik Posted September 28, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Weather in the med in November can get windy (storms), "cold" (15-20 degrees celsius) and rainy. This is a season of hit and miss. I'm in the med very frequently and especially in this period because of business, but unfortunately the chance on some good weather is 50%, this is my experience as a med-visitor. Sure, there are always some good days but I would never recommend cruising to this region at that time of the year. Especially the Greece islands, the southern of France and northern part of Italy can be very unstable. I know you'll like to hear something different, but my advice for future cruisers to the med is don't go later as mid-october. If bad weather miss you, you'll have a wonderful cruise. If it does hit you, make the best of it, and I know that's very easy because the med is a wonderful place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
