I remeber this thread from way back...it's still funny, even after two reads.

 

PH - in your sig. there is a comment about a cancelled cruise due to someONE elses stupidity - what happened? Been curious for a long time, but was actually afraid to ask the first time.

2 runs and it is still alive and kicking! (actually someone I met on the Ecstasy asked me if I was parrotthead and then asked if I was 'the underwater balcony parrotthead') so I figured it was time to revive it, esp since I got such great pics of it.

;)

~Oh and, I am sorry, but my good upbringing prohibits me from publicly going into the hateful, petty and discrimatory actions of this ONE person who clearly needs to get a life~

[inedaiz]

I do actually prefer the underwater balconies. They have been a closely guarded secret.. till now, thanks a lot.

[parrotthead]

Actually the secert has been out since November 2007, but no fear, as you know it is very difficult to reach "UWB status", and besides,there are still many non-believers and nahsayers -- you will still be able to get your favorite UWB cabin!:D

[parrotthead]

I'm calling right now! Still on hold!!! :p

 

Wish me luck! :p

Any luck?:D

Just called CCL to see about an underwater balcony and you know what they told me....that those select cabins are only available if one of the passangers is named either Kandy or Doreen. Damn!! as our parents named us Kim and Joe i guess that means no underwater balcony. Maybe I'll call back and speak to someone else and see how that goes.

 

Kandy - glad to hear you have a good upbringing. I wasn't trying to be rude. I have many friends that face discrimination all the time based on lifestyle "choices" and it really makes me mad. We are all entitled to love and happiness without reguard (in most cases) to where we find it. Congratulations for finding yours.

I was really impressed with this cabin until I tried to use my phone on the balcony. 0 bars, I had no signal. So if you expect important calls on your cell phone, don't get this cabin.

 

Another tip, bring shark repellent.( Don't ask)

Thanks Kim, I did not think you were being rude. No worries, there is just so much hate and lies being spouted by this person that I choose not to add to it.

I will see what I can do to get you on that UWB list.:p ;)

Good point about the cell reception, but, you can use your walkietalkies if you secure them in a 2 gallon ziplock, works like a charm.

Ohhh, sorry to hear about the shark 'incident'...did the cabin steward not put the sample bag in your bathroom?

[kelz66]

the only downside of these balconies is having to clean the plankton off of the chairs every morning. :rolleyes::p

[3boysvus]

Thanks Kandy waiting patiently to hear I made the list.

 

I'm actively boycoting businesses and countries that do not respect the "choices" of my friends. We haven't been to Jamacia in a couple of years b/c of their policy regarding homosexuality. In fact the only reason I am going to the Bahamas is because DS (14) asked to go to Atlantis for his birthday - he has special needs, and wouldn't understand why we shouldn't go and if he did 'get it' he would be extremely upset. His godfather and his husband - they were legally married a few months ago - are the best people he claims to know. Blessedly hate is not a concept he understands very well at all.

What I really like are the 1A balconies, Great views of the hallway.;)

[Quincella]

you have to pay more for a balcony right on the waterline. They come equipped with fishing poles and water skiis. Bring someone you really don't like because you put them on the waterskiis and use them as bait. The fishing pole and line are equipped to handle both the bait and the shark ;)

Then the cruise line rebates back some of your cruise fare, because shark steak is on the menu that night. And for the person in the dining room who happens to get some body parts in their dinner that night, you are the lucky one. You get a free cake and the wait staff sings "Happy fishing to you" :eek:

 

Pardon me, but what's a "dining" room? Isn't it a "dinning" room? I'm confused. Maybe that's just on NCL. Thanks in advance.

[fabulousmindy]

I am so glad I found this thread before getting on the Glory this Saturday. I have learned so much to improve my trip on these boards!!

 

We have a big roll call and I hope someone in our group has the underwater balcony, so I can check it out!! Is the pricing the same since Carnival has restructured the cabin rates??

 

Thanks:D

[MamaTene]

And what I LOVED THE MOST about those COVETED UNDERWATER aft balconies are the "extras" you receive for booking them.

I use my goggles, snorkel equipment and the rubber duckie inner tube ALL THE TIME!

LoL, one of the bigger balconies.

[partman57]

Maybe if low tide...or you are in rough seas....eachtime the ship comes out of the water you can open the door real quick....be fast....ok.....LMAO

[MamaTene]

Nothing better after a hot day in the sun on an excursion than to wrap the rubber duckie inner tube around you, open that balcony door and JUMP right in the ocean! So refreshing! But you do have to remember to clip on the rope to the tube to help you get back on the balcony otherwise the backwash from the ship can be a little tricky to navigate!

[parrotthead]

you are right Mama, it is very refreshing.

And if you happen to come back when the steward is cleaning your room, you will think he looks so cute in that little scuba outfit he wears to scrub the balcony.:)

[crusinpsychRN]

Imagine my surprise when I found my last balcony cabin to be below water! Right by the door there was scuba gear for the two of us. Now I understood why the PVP had asked if we were both scuba certified. I must say we had a great view especially when the folks in cabins above us threw scraps of food overboard. What a great fish feed that was. In Cozumel at port there was even a mermaid playing in the water!

Have to have a dry sense of humor to be involved with this thread
