Lynn the Cruiser Posted January 4, 2009 #601 Share Posted January 4, 2009 As I previously wrote, we stayed on board all day, with Liz arising from her bed around 3 P.M. :eek::rolleyes:;) This was a very eventful evening. At 5 P.M., we attended the ice show, Ice Under The Big Top. It was a circus-themed ice show. OMG! This was utterly fabulous. The costumes, the sets, the choreography, the skating..........absolutely the best I have seen. I wanted to go see it again, and then I remembered: I WILL!!!!!!! ;) 7:45 - P/D/D+ party. The usual - open bar (although the push whatever they have on the tray - they'll still get anything). Hot & cold hors d'oeuvres, brief speeches. Live band, dancing. Dinner was the weakest so far, I thought. Perhaps it was just my selections, but it was fortunate that I wasn't all that hungry. The "panko-crusted somethingorother cod" was the chef's selection, so I selected it. Feh. Not worth eating. Not poisonous or anything, just not good. Edison brought out coffee ice cream at dessert time again.....how can I refuse, when he is going to so much trouble for me? Then the big climactic event: The Nelson Brothers!!!!!!!!!!! YUM YUM YUM I could eat these guys up with a spoon. The show is a tribute to their father, Rick(y) Nelson. They play a couple of their own songs from their rock days in the 90's, but mostly they play the golden oldies. They show clips from Ozzie & Harriet, and from interviews about their father. Their own songs were VERY good. They sang After The Rain and Just Once More. That second one is a real tear-wringer. Afterwards, they sold CDs and autographed them, and posed for pictures. These guys were the very definition of "gracious". They posed and posed and posed and answered question after question after question. Since my daughter bought the CD and they posed for a picture with her, I asked them if they were staying on, or leaving and coming back for the next cruise. THEY ARE STAYING ON!!!! I can't wait to "run into them" around the ship! Their sister Tracy was here and sitting in the theatre audience, and they introduced her and put the spotlight on her and she waved. All in all, a very satisfactory SECOND half of the day! I KNEW I'd have pages to read!!!! We LOVE the Nelsons!!! We constantly had them on our TV on our last cruise. Apparently they were on the Liberty a few cruises before us. There were no CD's left so we ordered them when we got home! Well, I still have to go back and read a few more pages!!

TheMiz Posted January 4, 2009 #610 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Yep you waisted your time and your money...NO where did it say they were required and RCCL also confirmed many many times that they were not. I am a TA and have a few clients onboard right now, and some even asked to make sure...they were told NOPE..But they all got their Visa's:) So thats good! From the for what its worth department; From my Travel DOC's for the 3rd leg; Page 10 Inoculation/Heath As detailed in our brochure, all guests must ensure they are medically fit for travel. As such, we remind you to check with your physician at least 4 to 6 weeks before sailing to make sure you are up to date with any required immunizations or vaccines you may need ( including but not limited to certification of yellow fever vaccination) to ensure you will be permitted to visit each of the exciting destinations an tours on your itinerary . For further information you may contact the center for disease control etc. ( Which I did ) etc. The above it the same exact statement I received from RCCL when I contacted them about the YF shots, I had my TA call while I was sitting there making my last payment and was told YES they are required and I may have to give the yellow fever card upon boarding with my passport but that could change.

I will check my pictures and I will see if I can figured how to post some. There was three of us in the cabin and it was a little crowded when the couch was made into the bed. We thought that the cabin was going to have a pullman bed but it didn't have one just the sofa bed. But hey we managed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negc Posted January 4, 2009 #619 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Oh you will be hearing them scream "law suit" before all is said and done. That's what we got on our Splendour cruise. And to top it off............the group affected booked through a TA who was with them. The TA said that RCI either told them that RCI would take care of the Visa once they were on board.............or RIC said they did not need one! Yep.........that's the excuse they usually use! Sadly enough, I know you are right, Patti, and when we don't show them the sympathy they think they deserve, someone will post and tell us that we are mean and unfeeling.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
