that orange ball was closed and used for yoga not bouncing. Also, the VR attraction was closed and being removed.

thank you. I think some people take offense when someone doesn't like something on their favorite ship.

I see you are in Oregon. I sail out of Florida those ships are not down here.

I said I had a great time. My point was this ship was so different in many ways from the oasis, freedom and Voyager class. I figured it was a different builder. Someone mentioned quantum class was probably built for the north and I saw most of those ships are for Alaska or up north

I never said I was surprised. I made a statement. I made observations and then made a statement about them. I leave out of Florida. I did mention newer ships, vision and radiance are older ships. I did mention asking if these are a different builder. Freedom class, voyager class, and oasis class, have the same feel. this is a huge portion of the fleet. This is the reason for the post. I didn't realize they switched to pull out couches in wonder

then they should have looked at a better option. MSC has bunk beds that fold down into a couch here you can see the chair is now locked in. and no room to walk by you kind of have to leave the bed down or maybe ours was broken since it did not go down easily

Nice ship, but I do like oasis and freedom. class. The things I didn't like didn't make sense, especially for families. like the rooms and the pull-out couch which blocks the way and makes the desk unusable you can't pull out the chair and sit so in the AM my wife can't sit and get ready without putting the pull-out away. IMO bad design. I saw this in one video but didn't know about the desk and we had to leave the pull-out down to easily slide away. I watched many videos and Royal has a theme that didn't seem to follow that theme that was my point.

I'm going to bit my tongue on this comment. I do tons of research and look at all the videos I can find. pictures and videos are one thing experience is another.

Sailed on her Nov. 23 So much is different compared to the common aspects of Royal ships. Different shipbuilder? It seems like it was made to fit Royal's design. This is just my observations - No real promenade. It's smaller and it feels more like carnival where it meanders. - No car art like all the other ships, or at least the newer ships. I always take the kid's pics next to the car. - SportsPlex I liked the sports plex but it hides the back of the ship since you can't walk through it. SportsPlex has a second floor and I think there was an elevator but it was hidden in the back. If you were in a wheelchair or couldn't climb stairs you probably would never go to Playmakers or the upstairs. If you're not looking for the Flowrider you won't find it. IMO I was on the ship for 8 days and never went to the back of the ship. the only way back there was going to deck 16 and walking around the sports plex outside. since there are no water slides you don't really see a need to go there unless your trying to. - The arcade was a disaster. It's like an afterthought, games are spread out. some on the second floor some on the first then there were more games on the other side in the corner. Then half the games were broken (I know this is not part of the layout just mentioning don't spend the money on prepaid arcade they had to refund me my money because nearly 40-50% of the games were broken) They should reorganize the arcade. put all the ping pong tables and foosball together and all the arcade games together. - No waterslides. Most likely because of the sports plex. No perfect storm. - The pub has food!!! Though I was not a fan of the food I tried. I had the fried pickles and they were spears, not chips. and the pretzels were more of a traditional NY soft pretzel. Usually, I find bar pretzels are softer like bread. The food wasn't bad I was not a fan. But hey they had food which most of the pubs should IMO. who doesn't love bar food? - 4 Person rooms, Who designed these things? no pullmans? only a couch which we had to put away ourselves since Royal now doesn't do that. the couch is too close to the desk so you can't use the desk when it's pulled out. You have to be careful everyone kicked the couch at least once. the path around the couch is less than a foot. You have to walk past this to get to the balcony. That's why we had to put the bed away so we could use the balcony. Really bad design. its a nice room otherwise. For 2-3 people and no pull-out couch, it's a nice room. - The shower door swings out and doesn't slide together. This is fine but when they slide we can have 2 people in the bathroom. you can't really be in the bathroom if someone needs to get out of the shower. No big deal just different. - Windjammer, is great as always, always love the food. The back of Windjammer was not used it had a station but it was never used. and the seating was so far from the buffet. These are some of the best seats, but they come with the cost of being like 150 feet from the buffet. - They have wearables!!! I like the idea but...This system falls short. I'm in IT so maybe I'm biased as I can make this system work great. you still need your card. What is the point of the wristband if you still need your card? I hate lanyards and using my retractable keychain. The servers still need to take your card to get you a drink. this is a dumb process IMO. let me use the app or have an iPad like Kids Club. I don't need a card at the kids club the wristband has the info and they tap it. I have to have the card to get off the ship. They yelled at me for scanning my wristband which has the same info on it. they both scan the same on the tap. I had my card in my wallet. Had a great time and looking for my next cruise but I'm not a fan of this ship with my family. If just me and the wife ok sure, but for families like ours in one room no thank you

On odyssey ots No more steak only chicken. The steak was my favorite.

It's the experience. They are not huge candy kids. but they do like the options the candy store has. things you don't just see anywhere. I guess its a walmart or target run.

I was looking but could not find anything. My kids were good wanted to let them get something.

OK so recently my wife had an accident she will have surgery, next week on her knee. We still want to go on the cruise. That said, we are starting to look at our options. I know we can have a scooter onboard. We are going to Aruba and Curacao. We are renting a vehicle to drive around and see things. Do I bring a wheelchair to take off the ship? I don't think anyone has a scooter attachment for the rental. I'm not too sure what is offered. You just leave the scooter in the hallway at night? We thought the power chair was better the basket and handlebars are in the way. I'm not trying to move from chair to scooter to chair and more just stay in the chair.

Thank you

My aunt is taking her first cruise, and I was giving her some cruise items to buy. One of these was a battery-powered USB fan. We have one and take it on every cruise. My wife needs airflow. I have never traveled on NCL. My aunt sent me a message saying it's on the prohibited list. I was wondering if this was for bigger fans. Or if anyone had any experience with this.

I was looking into room layouts and noticed the 4 person rooms showed a pull-out couch and no Pullman With the couch pulled out it takes up much of the room. My kids loved the upper bunk during the day it was their area out of the way. I assume they put away the pullout each day?

That table would be great!! I don't understand if the balcony is that big why it wouldn't come with extra furniture like the table and chairs.

My goal would be to have a table big enough to play something like dominos or rummyque.

I do like the MDR, but usually, it will interfere with many shows or activities, or it takes a long time. Can you order togo? Can you order kids food like chicken tenders, for the kids? Some nights they were not in the buffet on my last cruise.

Booked on Odyssey of the Seas in Nov. This is my second extended balcony. I was wondering what others have done with such a vast balcony. Have you been able to get a table? lounge chairs? I wonder what the Stewarts can accomplish These Balconies need more, they can accommodate a table and 4 chairs plus 2 lounge chairs. I have hung a hammock before and it was very relaxing at night. If the table were big enough, I would sit out here and have meals. play games with the family.

I didn't eat in the buffet much. The food choices were blah. I have children with food allergies, and we do not like seafood. the buffet was not kid friendly for dinner.

Everything? the fries, the dinner menu, the smoked beef? it's like the quality went down. Less like guys more like carnival's recipe?

While cruising recently on MG Shaq's chicken is awesome BTW. On the last 2 nights of the cruise, my kids were tired of pizza and Shaq's was closed. (I wish they stayed open later) The buffet has no kid's options. We ordered room service because they had items my kids would eat. I asked guest services about this and they said Go to the main dining room and order to go. I wish I had known this prior. It's still annoying to have to go to another restaurant to get kids' food. (just offer this on the buffet) If you have some other tips please let me/us know. I truly wish there was something more, I don't know what's available you seem to have to ask for a lot. I always find out too late

So we recently sailed on MG. 2/11-2/18/23 I was very disappointed in Guy's. The burgers Joint. no fresh-cut fries like the other ships I have been on. They were just regular fries, I love his fries but not on this ship. Did this change on all ships? Brew House. Maybe it was my sailing. I was so excited. The BBQ sauces seemed watered down, none tasted really good. I had the BBQ sauce at the burger joint and it was good. again on other ships. Dinner The potato salad, the sauce was good but the potatoes were so watery like they had let them sit in water for way too long. made them horrible. Brisket was good, but no bbq sauce. The rest of the items were ok. I think someone changed the recipe for the items for the day we went. we never went back The cobbler was odd IMO. a small cast iron skillet, a few apple slices, a couple of crumbles of something (not sure exactly, these tasted fine) and then a lite sauce. Lite as in small amount. It was not very good, didn't eat it I did like the fried onions. and the Mac n Cheese was great! Lunch I decided to try lunch. They were low on many items when I got there. What happened to the brisket on the lunch buffet? I have watched many videos in the past and they had brisket now its smoked beef. More like a pot roast smoked. The chicken was ok. Beef ok but when you were expecting brisket. Mac was good too The sausage was not the same as at dinner. But it was decent. Nothing really screamed AWESOME!! I was watching a video about the brew house and they had different items each night of the cruise they said go on the first night they have filet. This was not the case, each night was the same menu nothing changed. When did all the changes happen? Maybe some of these expectations are old. I have been watching videos on this ship for a long while as we were booked on MG over a year ago, but changed cruises due to Carnival canceling kids club.

I love sandwiches. So seeing they had sandwiches I was excited. Something other than pizza. But maybe I'm tooo simple. All the sandwich options were odd. Nothing normal like ham and cheese. turkey and cheese. They had Bree and turkey, mushroom and tomato. always something maybe too fancy for my taste. It doesn't seem like they made anything on demand. OR I was ordering something close and taking it apart, sometimes they had salami on the side or some cheese. then making my own version. Has anyone noticed this? Have you gotten special requests?
