pms4104 Posted September 20, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Well, this caught my eye: While in dry dock, ships will expand the aft deck to create a new resort pool concept, The Retreat ... So, does this mean the cabanas are coming, the cabanas are coming? Wouldn't seem there'd be much room, with the addition of cabanas, for much else around the aft pool. Hopefully, we'll be able to sail once or twice more on the R or S class before they trash the aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheWASide Posted September 20, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm trying to figure out how this Press Release is dated 9/19 when the exact same release is on HAL's website dated 8/30...and it's BEEN THERE since 8/30... WEIRD... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgev Posted September 20, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2008 The article mentions that the songs of Tony Bennet, Frank Sinatra and Harry Conick Jr. will be in the Ocean Bar. Does anyone know if this will be live music or recorded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted September 20, 2008 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2008 will probably be featured and offered by whoever is in that lounge. Or they might just pipe in XM/Serius radio channel 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryos Posted September 20, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I don't feel the excitement. Yeah, but that's because the press release didn't say that they are also going to upgrade the quality of the pillow chocolates left on your pillow each night. :) Excited now? :) Blue skies ... --rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakeDad Posted September 20, 2008 #11 Share Posted September 20, 2008 This confirms what everyon has been saying about smaller cruise staffs.... A new Explorations Team employs cruise staff, each specializing in a particular area, to educate and entertain guests with an expanded menu of activities including flower arranging, hands-on cooking, dancing and working with digital photos, blogs and movies. Each team consists of a cruise director, a party planner, a travel guide, dance directors and a "techspert." On longer cruises, a book club leader joins the team to lead lively group discussions.
