After 7PM.

Thanks.

That makes me want to say in Havana Cabins if I like Vista and want to go again. That area looks wonderful and I was looking forward to it. Enjoy! And thanks again for posting and answering our questions! We appreciate it.

I hope you don't mind answering this question. I have seen pictures of the outside smoking area on deck 5, but can't figure out where it is on deck 11. If you are on that deck would you mind checking for me? I am really enjoying your pictures and thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to do this great report. Have a great vacation!

I think I'm off to the Casino Bar for a Kiss On The Lips :*. Oh and I think I'll have a drink too :').

It's bonus time....she passes along great information and she's a comedian to boot. ;) Must be that first time with the Cheers package.

I do have one question regarding the Havana Area. Do you have to stay in a special room or room category, or have FTTF, or anything to get into the Havana Area? Can anyone just walk right into that area or what are the specifications to get into the Havana Area?

The Havana area is open to anyone on the ship after 700 PM each day. Prior to that, you must be staying in one of the Havana cabins that are located primarily on deck five, with 23 balcony/lanai cabins, 14 inside and 4 suites. There are an additional 2 insides up on deck 7 as well as 10 aft and premium balconies on deck 7 and deck 6. So there are 63 cabins in total. Here's a video of the area.

Thanks so much for answering my questions.

I made an error above, it was Ben on the Breeze playing the piano, he was SO great!

 

Regarding being in a suite (if I don't get FTTF), and still choosing a check in time, even if I get a later time (if the other ones were gone), can I still show up earlier and be let in with the suite guests?

Do suite guests waiting in a separate area? When we were on Breeze, we had FTTF (not a suite but a spa cabin) and we waited with everyone else. Was that correct?

 

Cannot wait to read more and hope you are having a fantastic time!

Are you planning on doing the Brewery Tour? Can you find out when it is offered and when you can sign up for it?

 

Thanks

I will post them when I get home. My phone still isn't working, It shuts itself off and then flickers on and off with the Apple home screen. Then the battery drains down to 1%. When it finally charges, it will work fine for a few minutes and repeat the cycle. I may have to do a factory reset at some point. Anyone have any ideas?

I will do my best to check out the smoking areas and you're very welcome.

Wasn't planning on it, but I'll see if I can find some info.

[firemanbobswife]

Haven't forgot about you all! Had a great day at Mr Sanchos. Just got back and out of the shower, Have to get ready for dinner. While I'm thinking of these things, figured I would post. Random stuff, but if I don't say it when it pops into my brain - I'll forget!

 

Room Steward excellent! No mention of once or twice a day service, and no card. Twice a day no issues. Early dining Reflections - excellent! Marijam from Croatia is a sweetheart. Love him to pieces. Platinum gift - Tervis Tumbler - yay! It's the one with the turquoise top and different from the one I already have. Thrilled not to get the stationery or Croc Visor!

 

Gotta run, I'll hopefully be back later. Thanks for reading!

Have you tried a hard reset yet? Hold the power button and the home button down until it turns off and reboots.

Yep. Doesn't work. It's an iPhone 7 Plus so it's actually the power button and the lower volume button. But thanks for the idea!

Thank you so much for thing this when you get home.. I really appreciate it so much

 

Enjoy your cruise vacation.. thanks

 

 

I am so sorry you are having problems with your phone.

 

Your battery might be going and not holding the charge anymore. You might need to get a new battery in the phone. I think that might be the problem but not 100% sure

 

See if taking the battery out the phone and then putting it back helps issue.

[Computer Nerd]

Internet plans. I have the middle one so I can post here for all my cruising buddies [emoji41]

 

 

Since the Social package includes Whatsapp, does t also include calling via Whatsapp or just texting? What about picture texts?

thanks I saw that old post.

 

Just looking for current funtimes for 6 day cruise to see if anything changed

[firemanbobswife]

Let's see, what else can I think of? Pig and Anchor BBQ was good. Guy's Burgers of course was good. Had the Steakhouse Filet in the MDR for $20 tonight and it actually tasted better than the one I had in the Steakhouse. How, I have no idea but it did. I am really impressed with the seating in Lido Marketplace. If you can't find a spot to sit at the ends, go to the middle where the Deli is. There are PLENTY of seats there. That is one thing I noticed about this ship is the many places both inside and out to sit.

 

One thing I don't care for are the LED spotlights in the cabin. Not a big deal, but I prefer the cabin lights on the Conquest Class Ships. They are softer and aren't blinding if you happen to glance up at them. Also the shadows the new ones cast can make it difficult to see things properly. The bar above the vanity on Conquest Class ships is much better IMHO not only for lighting a portion of the cabin, but for applying make up and doing your hair. A hairdryer is in the drawer of the vanity.

 

The bathroom shelves are smaller as is the countertop in there vs Conquest Class ships as well. I think the shower may be slightly bigger as it is more rectangular shaped vs square. LOVE the Havana towels and waffle robes. The shower curtain is still about an inch too short. I never understood why they can't make those things a little bit longer so the water doesn't get on to the floor.

 

Oh and the sprinkler system went off Monday in the casino as well as the area right above it by the Steakhouse and that whole funnel section. One lady told the Officer on the scene that she saw a guy with a huge Vape cloud blow it directly into a smoke detector and that's when it went off. I can't testify to as if that's really what happened, or if that would even activate the fire suppression system, but it's what I heard her say to him. So take that for what it's worth. We were on the upper part of it and at first thought they had washed the floor, but when I saw the amount of water, and the glass surrounding the LED funnel was wet, I knew it was more than that. They were "sweeping" water to the side and sucking it up with Shopvacs. The floor was soaking wet and super slick. That's when I heard the lady talking to the Officer. I asked my waiter at dinner tonight to find out the real deal and tell me tomorrow. We'll see if he has any news then and I'll report back. They were still drying the carpets out yesterday. What a mess.

 

I will take more pics tomorrow but am not sure when I will get to post them. Will depend on when my phone decides not to be stupid.

 

It was a long day in Cozumel so I'm getting ready to go to bed. We have had perfect weather the entire cruise and the sailing has been smooth. We are rocking a bit tonight so it's making me even more sleepy as I lay here in my bed typing away. Nighty night!
