Sarge, thanks so much for taking the time to post the photos, gorgeous.

 

Can't wait for my turn in September.

I can't believe how many amazing photos you have shared, thank you! Do you know if the soda machines can be used by the people with Bottomless Bubbles?

 

The two coke soda machines pictured only take cash. Was told that they hope to add Sail and Sign shortly. Was told that not part of bottomless bubbles program.

Sgt, I love the pictures. Makes me feel like I'm already there. Know you get a lot of questions but, I see the coke machines. Like to know how much a can? October can't come fast enough! Enjoy your trip

Darn it. I was hoping to try another cruise line next year but this looks very tempting, especially since NOLA is the most driveable port for me. :confused:

Thank you SOOO much for taking the time (and expense) to post all these pictures.

 

I am anxious to hear reports of how people like the Serenity area. It is definately beautiful and that waterfall pool looks awesome. But, it is basically part of the main Lido pool area...just on higher decks. Hopefully, they have somehow worked it out that the Serenity area is not bombarded with the NOISE from the Lido pool.

 

I'm thinking that the sound of the waterfall will help to mitigate the noise from the main Lido deck speakers.

Any news on the food and service?

 

Any updates would be appreciated.

Ship certainly smells new. Rainy day in Marseilles today but tour went anyway.

 

Continuing from yesterday - no lines!

Where Cucina del Capitano and Ji Ji now are located(where the pool was) is it now fully air conditioned?

Great pictures! Next March is TOO far off.

[GROUCHPUSS]

OK I have a question or two for you. Does the ship feel like a new ship or a remodeled ship? Can you see or tell of any of the old Destiny? Like flooring, walls, decking or just anything? How is the noise level on the Serenity decks?

 

Thanks
