5,000+ Club

5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. We did the hour pass - $29 vs. the $8 / attraction. The hour is only accumulating while you’re participating in an activity, so you get the same amount of play regardless of how crowded it is. It’s almost identical to what’s on Encore. There are only 3 or 4 attractions that seem worthwhile… my favorites being the various “maze” games and descent. No idea what crowds will be allowed once they hit full-capacity sailings. It all feels to be outdated technology.
  2. Much like how the ship is segmented into more & smaller venues, so is the entertainment. It’s odd that the two late-night venues are across from one another in the otherwise maze-like common areas. The casino is more isolated as well, so that doesn’t contribute to any “vibe” in the nighttime common areas. DBH was sorely missed, and we usually resorted to closing out Improv, then Syd’s, and then ended the night at the bar-side of The Local. The “club” nights in the theater have potential, but they really should tweak the screen brightness & offer more light-show variation so there’s less full-on lights all the time. It’s so bright, it felt more school-gym than nightclub. But the potential is there. The bar crew at Syd’s is great… Marcial, Martin, Roy & others. They made our trip, and we tried to include them in the fun as much as possible.
  3. Just friends having fun during the transatlantic. Late night entertainment really struggles on this ship… just karaoke in Improv then a DJ in Syd’s. I was told the DJ in Syd’s fell asleep last night and the music came to an end until the bar crew woke him back up. That pretty much sums up the late-night vibe on this ship. As a result, shots have become the entertainment for the TA-regulars. The bar staff in Syd’s have been great all week.
  4. @JIMESOPUS- Oktoberfest is 100% the effort of Conni & Kai from Frankfurt. She always puts on a great show!
