Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Not so much a review, but more of pictures of a very interesting Aft cabin. I wasn't able to find a lot of good pics prior to booking, so here are mine. My souvenir from the last time I sailed her 2018 Almost Global Odyssey I also have tons of paperwork and all the compasses. It was a 4 day cruise with two days in Coco Cay, but weather and an unfortunate accident gave us a sea day and a new day of compasses Now you can see what they do with a compass with one hour of planning If you want some laughs here is my last Mariner review Edited January 26, 2020 by John&LaLa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 Author #2 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) 9390 Location It's in the back, way in the back, trust me BTW, the balcony isn't all nice and square like the plans say You can even see it from the Jammer Edited January 26, 2020 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Let's go find it I think it's down this really long hallway Luckily there are maps along the way Just around the corner now If this was a GPS, it would say "You have arrived" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missusdubbya Posted January 26, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have always wanted to try one of these. Spent a few weeks in the one next door on Freedom and Adventure, and peeked around the divider a bit 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted January 26, 2020 And here it is Balcony door closed Balcony door open BTW, the door swings out Window ledge works well to store stuff, it's really deep Tiny sofa, more of a love seat. Pretty sure this cabin only holds two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 Author #6 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Aft cabins are all about the balcony, let's check it out Heavy duty door. Unfortunately it did whistle a bit with all the wind we had Two chairs and a table are tight with an outswing door The third chair makes a nice footstool, luckily the balcony is fairly deep on the right side Balcony next door is obviously bigger, but they don't have a Starboard view lots of extra metal to our right You can see the extra depth here Perfect Day (on Tuesday 😉 ) Utilizing the improvised lounge chair. This balcony get's a lot of sun Unfortunately there is soot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Let's head back inside Newer TV is fairly large and swivels toward the bed Lots of drawers decent storage above the TV What's behind the doors, you say Lots of yarn the crystal block box is actually a gift for Tao's son Typical mirror storage on both sides A real night stand sofa is a little worn, but fine with me, it was comfy Lots of hanging space and some nice shelves no robes this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Typical bathroom, no night light though. I like that feature Hanging pegs inside the door Good shower I'm 6-1, and it was plenty tall Better bath sink than Oasis had Good water pressure also Behind mirror storage on left side Shower floor doubles as a morgue for towel animals Kept telling Bambang I didn't want to do this, but he left me no choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 Author #11 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Let's read some paperwork Our crew Our itinerary. This was originally a typical 4 day Bahamas, it changed after booking. Now it's supposed to be 2 days at Perfect Day Mother Nature changed it back. More on that later tips on how to have a Perfect Day Our disclaimer about ongoing construction I was surprised the beach by Snack Shack was closed I won't post the map of Coco Cay unless someone wants it, but I do like the name of the new Beach club And here is why Mother Nature changed our itinerary Oh, and we also got to spend the night in Nassau to avoid the sea conditions Tuesday night Edited January 26, 2020 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 Author #12 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Here is some paperwork for C&A diamond and higher members. And a suite welcome letter that didn't apply to Laura and I First off, if you are B2B, Pinnacle, or in a suite, you get to have lunch in MDR on boarding day. This is a fairly unique situation. Most ships only do a lunch for B2B passengers Suites and Pinnacles also get breakfast in Chops every day. Most ships that don't have a CK do that as well Nice breakfast, but service was kind of slow Diamond Concierge welcome letter goes to all guests Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle Pinnacle welcome letter Suite guest letter very similar to the Pinnacle letter in bar list of the happy hour drink program for Diamond and up And the list you get in your room The list updated this week to include virgin frozen drinks, but I hear you can get them fully loaded now Edited January 26, 2020 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted January 26, 2020 Author #14 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have the compasses, plus the replacement one for our last minute sea day I thought I would do them in a rather unique order I will be grouping them by page, so all page ones will be on the same post, and so on My reason is that the information contained is set up on the same page each day, so it's easy to go to 1 page to see the same stuff for the entire cruise.

luv2sailAgain Posted January 26, 2020 #18 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Does the fake fridge/cooler make noise? Do you know if Harmony & Symphony have the same type of cooler? I need something very small and quiet to keep my lunch cool at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if Harmony & Symphony have the same type of cooler? I need something very small and quiet to keep my lunch cool at work. Fairly quiet, no moving parts. I thought it worked well. Laura has a small version in her bathroom at home. It's designed for beverages, but she keeps make up in it In my experience, Harmony and Symphony have actual refrigerators with freon and a compressor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyitsmema Posted January 26, 2020 #24 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Was the Solarium pool open during your sailing? I have seen many pictures from recent sailings of it full of green water and closed or empty and covered. I am sailing soon with my Mom and she likes to use the Solarium pool.
