Sliding Sky Dome???

[FIVEONTHEAVENUE]

Has anyone ever seen Carnival use their sliding Sky Dome? If so when do they us it and how did effect the pool area? Did they only use it for rain or did they also use it during cooler weather?

I have seen it open and close on several ships. Seen it used for both rain and cold (Spirit in Alaska). Kind of cool to watch.

I have only seen it close when it rained.

I have also seen it closed at night. It wasn't overly chilly and it wasn't raining either. To me, it makes it really, really hot and muggy when it is shut.

Like Jimbo said, the only time we have seen a Spirit-class ship with the Sky Dome closed is when we were in Alaska last year on Spirit.

 

We have seen the dome closed on Freedom and Glory a couple of times when we were going through a passing rain shower. It took a little bit of time for the Captain to have the engineers re-open, but once they did it was awesome to see that happen!

In was closed once on our last Conquest cruise...I believe it was due to rain one evening.

I've seen it closed on both the Conquest and the Splendor. I love the sliding roof on the Splendor... it's over the midships pool and covers a far greater area than on the Conquest class...

Have seen it closed at night once. Gives the pool area a whole different look.

When the Splendor went to Canada during the swine flu, the dome was never opened. The best show I saw on the Splendor was when the maintenance guys were cleaning the glass of the dome.:D

On Victory, it creaks and groans a bit -not a smooth silent slider.

And it takes awhile to travel the whole distance.

 

We were in the Caribbean the one time I saw it deployed, and kinda wondered Why? :confused:

since it was exactly chucking down with a tropical downpour or nuthin...

Cruised on the Pride out of Baltimore in January. It was closed a lot more than it was open for that cruise. Mostly due to it being cold.

I tried telling her I had a license to drive, but she didn't go for it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When closed, it can get extremely humid - especially on Conquest class ships and the aft roof.

Cruised on Pride in JANUARY and the roof was closed. Still to cold for us but not for others. Here is a picture.....

I did B2B on Splendor to Canada, May 17-31, 2009 and they opened the roof in Vancouver. EM

makes it kind of humid in the aft lido area

Does the Magic have the sliding sky dome?

[RWolver672]

It was closed one night on one of our cruises. I don't remember which one though. We were in the hot tub and it was like being in a hot tub and sauna at the same time. Got out of the hot tub and didn't feel any difference in the temperature. It was hot and muggy.

No domes on Dream class. EM

[mitsguy2001]

That's stupid that the Magic doesn't have the sliding dome when the older ships do. That means that if it rains, there is basically nothing to do.

[mitsguy2001]

I should ask: what other ammenities, besides the sliding sky dome, does the Magic not have, that the Conquest ships do have? I know the Magic has only 2 pools instead of 3, and does not have the sliding sky dome, and does not have fish and chips. What else does it not have?

I would hardly classify the dome as an amenity. :rolleyes:

Conquest doesn't have the Ropes course, or Serenity, or the expanded Waterworks, or Cucina del Capitano, or a Promenade Deck that goes around the ship, or a Lower Promenade that you can walk the length of the ship on or an Oceanside Barbecue, or Ocean Plaza or Cherry on Top, or...

[gail811]

They used it on the Liberty a few weeks ago. No rain, but it was incredibly windy! I can only assume that is why they closed it.

My question was: what ammenities does the Magic lack? I've already been on the Liberty (Conquest class).
