    the christine duffy video confirmed it will be open at night. At first the goccl page said it would be totally private, and afterward it was changed to imply open at night.
  2. UPNYGuy
    it seems like it is to be like how the Havana area was when it first launched (open at night to all).

    I just cancelled all my sailings on Venezia thus far. I wanted to go, but Carnival has not followed through and made it fully private (like the Havana).
  4. UPNYGuy
    open to the public at night = me canceling all the Venezia bookings I had. Too bad, because I was looking forward to this ship.

    Was on the legend last month out of Baltimore and same thing

    oh I’m assuming it would have been repaired. DW and I haven’t had any issues like that on the sisters in that class.

    I actually don’t mind this. HAL used to have a cheesy Baked Alaska parade. It is nice to see a cruise line stick with something somewhat ‘traditional’ in the era of cutbacks.
  8. UPNYGuy
    agree with this. The spirit ships are similar in size to the HAL vista and signature ships. DW and I quite like them. In fact, we actually stopped sailing on HAL after 2 dreadful sailings (Ryndam and Eurodam) and now sail on MSC, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean.

    I got annoyed when the tours used to go through the Haven area when I was staying in there. I don’t recall Carnival doing this in the Havana area. MSC also did this with the yacht club, and I also thought that was disruptive.

    DW and I have witnessed numerous people tossed out for trying to skirt the Havana access rules on Horizon and Panorama. One on Panorama was so belligerent that ship security was called on her. This *is* (thankfully) enforced.

    Todd is easily the most grating CD I have had in 43 cruises.
  12. UPNYGuy
    I would agree with this, especially if the Luminosa is received well.

    Firenze

    UPNYGuy replied to Eli_6's topic in Costa Cruises

    as someone who sails on multiple lines, I would disagree with that assessment. I have sailed in The Haven repeatedly, as well as Oceania, and do not have any issue with the MSC product.
  14. UPNYGuy
    makes sense
  15. UPNYGuy
    this seems to be a common thought that all pax are accommodated in the boats, and not the rafts.
  16. UPNYGuy
    this also goes into the “ship as its own lifeboat” as well. Yes, I know it won’t sink in minutes.
  17. UPNYGuy
    Ken is still on, was just on the ship last week.
  18. UPNYGuy
    what (in your opinion) is the largest capacity ship that can be safely evacuated at sea using current technology. I can’t wrap my head around an Oasis class evacuating using its lifeboats if it were sinking.
  19. UPNYGuy
    IIRC Sea Diamond also had issues. This ship is still in the Santorini Caldera.
  20. UPNYGuy
    Ok yes. This part makes sense to me. This is also why I said I do see the value of mustering, but (for me) it is an irritant.
  21. UPNYGuy
    But my statement still stands that I find the mustering an irritant and if the e-mustering goes by the wayside, DW and I will likely be cruising much less (if at all)
  22. UPNYGuy
    According to you… being in a tropical storm isn’t one 😉
  23. UPNYGuy
    oh I knew it wasn’t. It would have been made obvious if that were the case.
  24. UPNYGuy
    I have been… ended up in a tropical storm on Sunrise.
  25. UPNYGuy
    I don’t disagree that they are important. As stated above. We know how to locate our muster stations by location on the back of the door, and know how to locate the life jackets. I am not downplaying the importance of the drills, just making a statement about how the drills can be an irritant for those of us that cruise frequently.
