The Fun Researcher Posted July 11, 2017 #4976 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Anyone know who will be the Equinox CD for the Aug 6th sailing? Any thoughts on your experience with them? Thanks! (This will be our first cruise on X, really looking forward to it) Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecslady Posted July 11, 2017 #4977 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I guess that's why I haven't been able to access the charts. Can you create it in word and save it as a PDF and post it directly on CC? This is doable if you have word but I'm not sure you will not be able to post photos. For the charts of Officers, all you need to do is copy and paste either a Word, Excel, or google doc. That would probably be the easiest. No need for a link to a PDF. Good luck finding a replacement for the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare groryjm Posted July 11, 2017 #4978 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Arno Can I offer my heart felt thanks for the service you provide in keeping these charts upto date. I may not be able to find a solution to the problem but I for one really appreciate what you do and hope an easy work around is found for you. These boards would not be the same without your support :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably be the easiest. No need for a link to a PDF. Have you ever done a copy and paste from a Word, etc. document to these boards? Straight text works. Tab-delimited text is a disaster. Trust me, the results are not pretty. That's why Arno has been using a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapcreator Posted July 11, 2017 #4980 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I use photobucket to transfer pictures here. They have started to charge for the privilege. We've had a free ride for a long time but I need to know of an alternative hosting site. Without it these update charts will only be found on an unmentionable social site. :( Does CC work with Flickr? I just closed my Photobucket account because of their new fees. I'm now using Flickr with a scrapbook site that I'm on. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tab-delimited text is a disaster. Trust me, the results are not pretty. That's why Arno has been using a photo. I've tried a copy and past from Word and it is a disaster, as you say. That's why I suggested saving a word doc as a pdf and uploading the pdf. I suppose you could upload a word doc but not everyone uses a Microsoft based computer so not sure how that would work. PDF seems more universal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This from another thread that I am following: "if you create a .txt file instead of .doc, this should correct your problem." Actually I have recently been uploading photos from the Cruise Critic Forums app. However my photos have recently been taken with either my iPad mini or my iPhone: You open the app, write what you want then Click on the + sign. A mountain icon appears which you click on. Your Camera Roll opens Click on your chosen photo which up loads Click 'Save.' This photo is of Constellation in Dry Dock in Marseille 23.05.17 uploaded using the method described above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuffy0317 Posted July 13, 2017 #4986 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Just off Solstice and wanted to note that Steve has been swapped out for Damian as Cruise Director. It's our second cruise with Steve and we love him, but I know many people love Damian, so wanted to flag. And don't worry: the hilarious Captain Tasos remains!

Do you mean that Damian left (for Reflection) and Steve moved from Millennium to replace him on Solstice and Eddie Jenkins took over on Millennium?

CruisingChick Posted July 14, 2017 #4990 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Arno, We are on Summit now. They have new production shows. Last night was Soundtrack and earlier in the cruise (the 1st Evening Vhic night) was Life. These, I believe, were the first performances of these new shows. Rati says she does not know who her replacement will be on 8/20 when she goes on vacation. She told us Angelina has left Celebrity.

kevinyork Posted July 14, 2017 #4993 Share Posted July 14, 2017 We were on Eclipse last month. As well as the 3 productions shows on the chart above they had an extra one called "Amade". It was a Mozart inspired show put on by the professional theatre performers. What was interesting is that it seems they put on a production show on the first and last evenings as they can leave the set in place so the last show on one cruise becomes the first on the next cruise. The new show Euphoria was excellent and a big step up in terms of production values and costumes. Nice to see a Eurovision Song Contest winner (Euphoria 2012) becoming the main theme in a Celebrity show. Maybe Celebrity have listened to the feedback on their in house production shows. Very glad to see the demise of the terrible Chandelier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingChick Posted July 15, 2017 #4994 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thank you for the info Do you know which shows were replaced? For this cruise there were only those 2 production shows. Sirens, I Hollywood and Stars in Their Eyes were not done. They still had the iMagic show. Rati told me last night she believes Olga will be on board as CC Hostess on 8/20.

BSinPNS Posted July 15, 2017 #4996 Share Posted July 15, 2017 We were on the 27 June Summit sailing. The new cast came onboard and rehearsed Life all week before performing it on the next to last evening on board. The plan was to rehearse the second new show the following cruise, performing it and Life. On the third cruise, they would rehearse the third show and then start rotating all three. Since these are new shows created by RCCL/Celebrity, there was no overlap so the old cast departed as the new one came aboard. We were unimpressed with the Life as it was boring with low energy dancing, few costume changes and mediocre singing. iMagic is not a cast show, but rather a show by a magician and his assistant using some electronics. It continues as I suspect they are aboard all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just us that did not respond well to "new" stuff. It's like turning on the golden oldies on the radio. We continue to love the music created as we grew older and wonder where the new talent is ... Modern luxury just ain't what it used to be... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
