Topo Gigio

The only indication currently is that she disappears in August from St. Maarten and re-appears in late November.

 

There are a couple of factors that might influence this. While not needing the 5year mandatory mechanical dry dock, they could do a design and feature enhancement dry dock.

 

September and October are week periods from PE and cruises have in the past been heavily discounted.

 

The mini-season on Oasis was extremely successful demanding very high daily fares.

I highly doubt it, that she will be taken out of service for an enhanced dry dock.

Breeze also has Cucina!

Oct 31: Royal Princess, Carnival Conquest, Westerdam & Oasis

Nov 1: Caribbean Princess & Indy

Nov 7: Coral Princess, Emerald Princess, Westerdam & Indy

Nov 8: Regal Princess, C.Conquest & Eurodam

I used to look forward to lobster night until I ate lobster in Maine! I don't think I'll ever eat an overcooked /defrosted ship lobster again!

With that said, I understand those folks who may miss it.

I suppose you guys will just have to start booking longer cruises. Just one more day(6 instead of 5) will get your lobster back.

Living in the Caribbean where i get them fresh out of the sea, i can tell you that those lobster were just so so!

Yes, the food there is great! I had dinner there 3 nights, and would have done more if it weren't for my family wanting Italian and Steakhouse dinners. Lol

I had the same "problem". Just wanted to try them all.

1 night Fahrenheit 555

1 Cucina

1 Bonsai

4 Jiji's

And let me tell you, the food is GOOD! 4 out of 7 nights I ate there.

Is the ship still in St. Thomas?

Been on both,loved them both.

 

However, I recommended the Summit to some cruise friends that are very loyal to Royal and they did not like it at all. I guess we just get comfortable to what we are used to.

 

I would not hesitate to cruise on either one again.

I didn't care at all for the Summit either.

If you decide to try Carnival, I would suggest to try a newer ship. Breeze, Magic or Dream!

Is there a deadline till when you can apply?

Unfortunately the police officer past away. He was sent to the Dominican Republic for advanced medical treatment, but they couldn't do anything for him.

We just returned from the August 2nd sailing of Indy...Pure paradise!

The ship was great, service was excellent & the crew was very, very friendly.

Enjoyed our cruise director Leigh Xuereb & activities manager Frank the Tank.

I was on St.Maarten when the shooting of the police officer occurred during the attempted robbery. I was about 6 store fronts away. The shop keepers told us all to get inside their stores & they slammed down their metal gates to keep everyone safe. Very scary for everyone. Once things calmed down, many of us ran to the water taxis to return to the ship. Captain Loy made a couple of announcements about the incident & made passengers aware that they had people on staff to talk to if anyone needed to do so. St. Kitts was very nice. Once past the taxi drivers & private tour people, no one hassled you & the store owners were very friendly & helpful.

We have been on 12 RCCL cruises, & all the way around, this 1 ranks in our top 3.

Unfortunately the police officer past away. He was sent to the Dominican Republic but they couldn't do anything for him.

Indy is my favorite cruise ship!

Who can tell me how far the train station is from the airport?

And it was a wrong number

 

What a BUMMER!!!!

:confused:? or you thought it was Carnival?

I book usually less than a month in advance. From my experience you get the best deals.

Nothing beats being in the middle of the ocean. Absolutely nothing!

Magic will be in dry dock the last week of February and the first week of March, and will reposition to PC in late April. First cruise out of PC will be on April 20.

Wondering if she will get Jiji's as well?

All those Bars, Guys, Cantina's etc came online after Magic went into service in 2011. Next February she will get her first dry dock, so pretty positive that she will get all those amenities as well or most of them.

Have been on both, and Regal is the (much) better choice. Very good buffet, with some excellent desserts. Btw Breeze is my favorite Carnival ship, but Regal is a step above!

Which was the last ship to get Guy's and how long ago was that?

Izumi is a must for me when traveling on a RC ship with one.

Thanks, I missed that,

 

D+ discount is $60 on a package or two 24 hour free periods.

What is the cheapest package?

And I guess Magic is wayyy better too.
