Jandex Posted June 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Beautiful Sydney photos. I drove past her this morning on my way to work, she certainly looked all clean and sparkly. Can’t wait to take a closer look when we cruise in 21 days! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By The Bay Posted June 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Be interested to hear reports post drydock Just got off today. Notable changes: new carpet and shower curtains in cabin. Same old carpet in hallways. Converted Library and Chapel to a possible money earner, a games arcade mainly for teens. A new area that was used by Park West , rear deck 3, is now an area to design and decorate items like beach bags. Monarch card and games room now contains two library cabinets, and is very cramped. Fun shops now operated by Heinemann. Duty free prices were discounted the first day by 10%. Smirnoff Blue was $37.90. Some liquor was offered at a 2 for price. I purchased 2 Mount Gay Eclipse Rum for $75. These prices appear greater than what I paid last visit to Port Vila and on Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter69 Posted June 27, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2018 By The Bay; my room didn't have new carpet.. :=(. looked a bit worn.. the colours are much more pleasing in MDR & in Buffet. Love having bands starting at 3;00 at Red Frog Pub (they play 3 set's, then another band would come on). Plus having a afternoon under 18 comedy show in The Punchliner comedy club on sea-days. (3:30).They are just trailing these 2 things to see feed-back. All new gym equipment & a new different area called Soul play. Paint, Draw & make things... Enjoyed the cruise even though it seemed & looked like a Princess crowd.. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Maybe they only changed the carpet in ex-princess cruise passenger cabins. ;) I was on deck 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vozzie Posted June 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 28, 2018 One thing we did find out on board is that, before it home ports in Brisbane in 2020, Spirit will be doing a Trans Pacific cruise and an Alaskan season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they shared reward points.. :=( One difference I noticed with the reward system is that Carnival upgraded us to Gold during the cruise. Princess will only upgrade on your next cruise. I was surprised at the lack of people at our Gold Cocktail party compared to Princess. Again Carnival is more generous with their drinks at the free parties than Princess. :cocktail::wine-glass::tropical-drink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
