Someone started a thread about the IV windows being locked on this cruise - it sounds like a good reason this time anyway. The tour sounds great - a miracle to have have a bus with twice the space and having such a nice group, with everyone astute about meeting times. Seems like there is always one...🙂 One must take some complaining with a grain of sand. Last night I heard a man going off on a Celebrity employee the Celebrity scheduled Toulon on a Sunday because everything was closed. I’m sure the IV’s were locked last night. Before the strongest winds we tried opening our sliding glass door. We closed it rapidly. Link to post Share on other sites

Randy No. Everyone else is still in place. They swapped the bartenders shifts - Russlana who is our favorite is now not on until 9:00 PM. In Luminae the receptionist ended her contract in Rome and has a replacement. Edited November 4, 2019 by Jim_Iain Link to post Share on other sites

Winds are suppose to calm down after dark but for the first time in 2 weeks you can certainly feel the movement. Friends of mine departed Barcelona in the last couple of days on a Princess ship. They say it’s never been as rough before as on this trip. Multiple crockery smashes in the buffet, the ship has listed many times and it’s very very rough. As our trip next July gets closer I will be poring over this thread because with such Port intensive itineraries I won’t have time to check the ship out when onboard.

I still would not like the frosted glass, I can always dress in the bathroom, if that was the real issue in terms of privacy... I would think that with both doors shut, it would be somewhat difficult to 'peep' in, not sure of that... We like the idea of natural light unfiltered flowing in...

VitaminSea53 Posted November 5, 2019 #618 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I am confused.... First of all, Bo1953, if you enjoy the natural light then there is no need to close the folding doors. The only reason to close them is for privacy or to filter the light. And GeorgesGal, there are NO curtains (sheer or otherwise) in the IV cabins. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The sheers work very well, don't they. When this was first discussed when the Infinite Veranda pictures started to leak out, many of us talked about putting up curtains, not as much for privacy from people peeking in, but more for when one of roommates wanted to sit on the veranda while the other person slept (to keep the light down). We soon learned that there is probably not enough room for curtains when the bed is near the veranda, it would detract from the bifold door look (Kelly would not be happy) and maybe make them more awkward to open and close. I think the frosted doors were their answer to that - someone could sit out there in the morning with the doors closed and the window down, with less light pouring in on their sleeping partner, but not sure that would be dark enough for everyone. It would work for us since I'm the early bird and my DH just turns the switch on his neck to "sleep" and he is gone. 😉 Edited November 5, 2019 by vtcruising 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Years ago on Equinox we were able to get a Filet Mignon any night by just asking. Earlier this year on Eclipse we were told NO! Is one allowed to get a Filet for dinner on Edge? I am not talking about the children's fillet on the MDR children's menu !!! Considering the suite cost they should have an everyday filet similar to the everyday steak in the MDR.
