  1. Thanks. It's been a long time since I watched the video.
  2. RCI did a video of Voyager's construction, trans Atlantic crossing, docking in Miami and some of its first cruise in 1999. I wonder if Captain Bang was captain at that time.
  3. That's similar to what I read on Twitter/X. Maybe he will be on a different ship (possibly Star) as RCI requires the captain to spend a certain amount of time in the shipyard and Captain Johnny was ready to go back to work when this period began for Icon.
  4. Thanks for posting the email address and advice about getting the Shareholder Benefit applied to your reservation. I have some back to backs coming up on Utopia -- 3 and 4 nights and I would like $50 per cruise.
  5. I think Captain Loy joined Icon in the Shipland in Turku, Finland. If Icon doesn't work out for Captain Johnny, he could get an assignment to Star of the Seas Icon's sister coming out next and sailing from Port Canaveral. I haven't seen any updates on Captain Johnny's Twitter feed but hope that his Melanoma treatment was extremely successful.
  6. I've always had a leather cover for all the Kindles I've had -- I think I'm on number 5. Wow -- 4K books!! I have to catch up 🤣 I usually click on content and devices and choose what I want to read. It's on the website and on my phone. The pictures are not as great as in a real book but I think it's a good trade. The other problem is that I've run out of space in my house for more books and that includes a very large built in book case in our great room.
  7. I really like that I have about 1,000 books on my Kindle and suitcases are much lighter. I used to take about 6 or 7 paperbacks on the cruise. Now I just take the Kindle and a backup paperback in case I have any problems with the Kindle (but I have had so far and I think I've had a Kindle for about 10 years).
  8. A Kindle would come in handy here. Following your thread -- keep enjoying
  9. What ship will Captain Johnny be assigned to. I'm confused about who the two Icon captains will be -- please clarify.
  10. Keep looking -- our daughter got Water Park tickets for their late March cruise on Wonder during the Black Friday sale but during a subsequent sale, the prices went down and she got the cheaper price for all 5 of them. Their week is Easter week -- high pressure on prices and passengers just like August. I booked a facial for our late August Utopia cruise during Black Friday but will keep checking prices.
  11. The short cruises are supposed to be released during the week of February 19, 2024
  12. Captain Johnny posted on X that he has had his 12 and last Immune Therapy to prevent any re occurrence of the melanom cancer cell.
  13. I think your best bet is to keep an eye on release of new cruises for 2025. You may get a good price for Utopia in June but check out late August when schools are back. The 4 night cruise is the better of the two. We did this itinerary last May/June on Indy and enjoyed it. I saw that itinerary for AL and thought it was intriguing (could not go then) and I would have liked Cozumel.
  14. Are the Sky JSs on Deck 6 for QN and OA Class ships?
  15. I priced Wonder against B2B Utopia cruises in August and December and in both cases Utopia was $2,000 less for a Grand Suite. This was also close to Utopia cruises being released for sail. I worked with the Next Cruise Desk for the August cruise. We did the Allure B2B in November and it was great -- we really got a good price for those 2 cruises as the sailings had just been released.
  16. That makes sense. We have two back to back cruises booked on Utopia in 2024
  17. I priced a Sky Junior Suite on Star for Aug. 26, 2025, which I assume would have free wifi as Icon does. It was over $15,000 for the week.
  18. Is it the best guess that Wonder moving to either Ft. Lauderdale or Miami for short cruises and Utopia will stay in Port Canaveral for 3 and 4 night cruises?
  19. I read on another social media site that Captain Johnny has either posted or emailed that he will be on Icon in January. Looks like his skin cancer treatments were successful.
