Kawana

We cruised during Christas, and the HMC cabanas did not go on sale until 3 weeks prior to the cruise date.  I the past I have been able to book them a year out.

I just got off the Spirit last week, and the HMC cabanas were not listed until the week before the cruise.  

I booked the cruise in July and checked the excursions page at least twice a month up until November when I started checking every day.  Finally, 1 week before the cruise they showed up.

Just back from the June 16th sailing and I didn't see any magician's!

I just returned from the Magic, and yes there was an 80's night. There were quite a few people dressed up!

I believe it was on Wednesday night (Amber cove port day on the switched up itinerary).

The white night seemed to only pertain to the nightclub.

Do you mean June 16th?

I'm still in vacation mode!

Yep June 16th

Hi 4jaynki,

we were on this sailing with you! Our room steward also only gave us the choice of either morning or evening cleaning. We called guest services and were told something about how they didn't want the stewards running the vacuums all day. smh

I definitely think the Magic needs a much larger comedy club. On Thursday night there were people standing, and people sitting on the floor!

We were on the June 16th sailing! We were in room 8383 and the A/C worked just fine. It was also working very well in the MDR and Punchliner Comedy club because I had to wear a sweater. It seems like it was just the top floors experiencing issues.

The internet was the worse I have ever experienced. I wouldn't suggest paying for the plan.

 

1. How much is the I-Max?
   
2. How much is the Thrill Theater?
   
3. I saw there was a 15% discount on liquor the first night from someone's review. Does that mean you should make your duty free purchases on the first night? If you change your mind on your purchases, can you cancel them later in the trip?
   
4. Is the ice cream from "Cherry on Top" significantly better than the ice cream at the buffet and MDRs?
   
5. Anyone use hub chat? Any pics?
   

I was on the Vista April 16 -22:

1. IMAX was $12.95

2. Thrill Theater was $5.95

3. I think the 15% off on the first night was just for select liquors.

4. Cherry on Top was more like Coldstone

5. We used the Hub chat. It would drop off at times and show that it was not connected. You just had to click on the error and it would reconnect.

Hi chef5674!

We were on that cruise with you, and I have to admit after reading all the negative reviews I was a bit worried.

But, we had a great family vacation. I wish the weather would have cooperated more!

Something was a bit off on the last sea day brunch. We weren't offered bread either, and the service was just slow.

Everything else was awesome, there was always plenty to do on this ship.

I look forward to reading the rest of your review.

We cruised the Dream last year during Spring Break.

My son was 8 at the time, and he absolutely loved the Kids Club. The Fun Force Break dancers taught the kids some moves, and they put on a performance for us on the last day!

There were plenty of servers walking around the pool, and even in the kids waterworks area.

I believe so, there was a lady that came in with a CD and I saw her give it to the guy that was running the show.

We just cruised the Elation 5/2 -5/7. We were in room E111, noticed a very smoky smell on embarkation day before the ship set sail. It was very strong. Once the ship started moving, it went away.

Mike,

I just cruised the Elation 5/2 - 5/7 and they used CD's.
