Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted May 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I was surprised to see them left in our mail slot the last two evenings on the Celebration. At any rate, happy to see them again! Tom 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted May 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2023 A couple of months ago, I believe (but my memory isn't what it used to be so it could have been longer ago then that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. On the Mardi Gras (end of Feb to early March) they had yet to bring them back. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PattiPB Posted May 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I hope they're on the Pride May 28! I miss them (so old school...). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted May 22, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I think it was mid-March, I agree a very welcome change! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrick_RN Posted May 22, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 22, 2023 We had ours in the mail slot like clockwork on the Spirit for our April Panama Canal Transit. The phone app is invaluable for YTD sign in and on-the-go activities but it is so fun to catch up on my reading and planning for the next day while visiting the loo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted May 22, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 22, 2023 They were left in the mail slot, not in the cabin, on our April Celebration cruise. Worked for us! 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted May 22, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted May 22, 2023 It pretty much has everything you need, without a lot of the inserts and ads that used to be in the regular fun times 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle236 Posted May 22, 2023 #13 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I am probably in the minority, but I was glad they did away with them. I feel like they are such a waste of paper. But that is just my opinion. I carry my phone for pictures anyhow, so I like to just use the app. I know a lot of people lock their phone away for the cruise, which I totally understand, and for that I am glad those people can get their paper copies 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted May 22, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I love spreading the paper version out in front of me on the bed before I turn in at night so I can plan for the next day. It's just not as fun in the app. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app falls a little short when you're trying to find all the open/close times of some places. For example, tomorrow Java Blue shows as being open from (early) to something like 11... beyond that there's no mention of any time that they reopen the rest of the day/evening. In the Fun Times, it shows where they reopen at 3 (or 3:30). Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not as fun in the app. I have a similar “routine.” I like to read The Fun Times in bed right before I go to sleep. I don’t know if I’m really “planning” my day or just giving myself ideas. Regardless, I’m so glad to know they are back to delivering them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luckybecky Posted May 23, 2023 #20 Share Posted May 23, 2023 We did not have it delivered to our cabin on the Dream last week except for I think embarkation day. I had to go looking for it. I find it much quicker to scan the printed version than having to scroll through the app, changing from one category to another (dining, activities, music etc). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad they're back for several reasons, but here's one of the more offbeat ones - I like to take a photo of them as they arrive. Those photos stay in my records for a long time for future reference (and sometimes I do refer to them after the cruise), while the events on the cruise are unavailable on the app after the cruise ends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a tri-fold now, a little bit bigger when folded then the old tear off sheet used to be on the old Fun Times. All of the info is still there, although it's less wordy. It's nicely laid out and easy to carry with you. They removed the picture of the funnel from the front page and that saved a lot of space. I like the new format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
