It’s b/c the gold color for LT and Maj is not gold at all, but brass. Similarly, a LtGen outranks a MajGen b/c the original title for a MajGen is SgtMajGen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted August 8, 2020 #1234 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I watched a tv show tonight on AWE DVRd a while back on the Carnival Horizon... not a horrible ship, but everything about it reminded me of our only Carnival cruise.... Yikes. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The circular bar in Vortex was closed. But the section from the circular bar to the outside where the rock climbing wall is, was also closed. There was a sign outside saying private event. I was in there every night and not a single person not attending the event entered because they couldn't. I hope that helps. Is there anything else I can help with?

I've read this several times and still not sure what you're trying to say 🤔 We were also on Jewel in January. The first few nights someone was at the door of the Vortex overflow checking cards but after that they stopped. We had to sit at the bar a few times as couldn't get a seat elsewhere. On a couple of occasions we saw people wander in who were confused at all the people in there when the bar wasn't serving. Some wandered back out and some realised what was going on and when approached by servers took advantage of the free drinks 🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this thread was about the possible changes in the CL/SL. 😇 M8 Good question. SL - Gold. CL - Silver. DL -Bronze.

Yeah, will be interesting to see what the choices will be again..once and "if" we start to cruise again. Bucky loves a red blend or red zin. Me, my favorite is Sauvignon Blanc...but the freebie offerings of that have not been that good...will sometimes opt for lesser choice of Pinot Grigio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay warm and dry and watch out for those mosquitoes. Any Moosehead beer where you are? 🍻🍷 Oh yeah...the mosquitoes are here alright! We are walking buffets for them!! 😮 Not really seeing any Moosehead beer, instead...lots of choices from Anchorage Brewing company. A lot of small company craft breweries as well. Gives them something to do in the dead of winter I guess. 😉 Denali Brewing company is located about 2 miles from where we stayed in Talkeetna...very popular place! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry late to this thread. Last time I was on Explorer in 2017 Alaska it was CL and DL just like in your pic. But the CL is gone on Explorer and there is now a SL where the DL used to be? Booked Explorer for June 2021 and have not been on since 2017. I believe the DL is now where the cigar room was? Also Explorer did not get her AMP correct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New ships are outstanding! I love MSC for their YC experience and VALUE. What we do miss are the crown loft rooms on the big ships. Now if MSC had Crown Lofts with Yacht Club amenities and pricing it would be perfect for my family and I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In October when we were on Explorer CL was on Deck 9. DL was on Deck 14 in the VCL. The amp hasn't happened because of covid19. When Independence had her amp the DL stayed where it was in the VCL with an outside seating area and the SL was at the left side of the VCL where Izumi on Explorer is currently.

So SL got the old DL, and DL moved ro cigar room. Navigator and Voyager are similar. Adventure and Mariner kept the old DL location 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
