blonde375 Posted August 22, 2013 #226 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Nice capture (I know it can vary, but what was the weather like when you went, can't decide whether panama canal or Alaska :confused:) Dickie Dickie, we experienced a range of weather. We departed the Friday before Labor Day from Vancouver. Beautiful sunny day that needed shorts and short sleeves. The next day at sea we wore bathing suits by the main pool. We wore sweaters and layers the rest of the trip. Coldest was Skagway (very windy). Honestly, the weather just added to the trip for me and my friends. It wouldn't have felt like Alaska if we had been able to wear shorts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pierces Posted August 25, 2013 #228 Share Posted August 25, 2013 BIG IS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did you like the Oasis? We like the Voyager class but thought the Freedom class added too many people per ton and it seemed very crowded. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c230k Posted August 25, 2013 Author #229 Share Posted August 25, 2013 DAVE We have been on the Oasis, Allura and Freedom and prefer the large ships. Find that there is more square feet/per passenger than the smaller ships and more to do. More people, but there are more places to eat, party and pool activities, it's like a floating resort. Have never felt "very crowded" the ships are so BIG, unlike the smaller ships with less people. Small ships to us seemed crowed, because shops are small and there is a lot less shops, places to eat and party. You need to at least give one a try. In fact next month were are going on the Freedom, like the ship, we can be onboard in about an hour. Tom :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmski35 Posted August 26, 2013 #232 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Great pictures. Those steps look dangerous to me. Fabulous pics! Those steps ARE dangerous, I have been on the Mariner, beautiful ship, but wearing stilettos after one or two cocktails...take the elevator! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom :cool: I appreciate your comments, as I am looking, I think, for someone to convince me to sail on this type of ship. My untried opinion is that "floating resort" is a negative, but again, that opinion is untried! I hope someday to be able to cruise often enough to feel free to try one of these megaships, so I can have an informed opinion. There is no question that I feel an emotional draw to the "plaza" look of the interiors of the big ships -- it seems different, in a good way, from the multi-deck, glitzy atria on most ships -- maybe it's the sunshine (or even better: rain!) and the greenery -- very park-like. But then, do I want "park-like" at sea? -- you see my dilemma... At any rate, I hope to someday be able to say, "been there, done that!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see how he's grown! :) Thanks for asking, we thought he would stay mini, but has grown a little bit. Have never taken so many pictures of a pet, but he has the looks. Second picture is a cruise picture, he wanted to go in the suite case for our next cruise. lol :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
