First cruise - CARIBBEAN - questions
RICK DAVIS wrote: Warren, Zenith is 14.5 years old. I consider that old. You said "very old" s/s Norway was very old. QE2 is very old. My point was that Zenith isn't that much older than Voyager of the Seas. So if you consider her "very old" then Voyager by your definition is merely "old." Warren |

First cruise - CARIBBEAN - questions
Tom K wrote: Your Legend sailing may be an exception... but to me, RCI food isn't close to Celebrity food To your palate perhaps. However, the menu on both ships was nearly identical and once again while I enjoyed my meals on Legend of the Seas, I had to send back a couple on Mercury. Sorry, but I have to say that Celebrity's cousine is no great shakes - and slightly less than what I experienced on Legend of the Seas. They even use the same china and flatware. And be careful about suggesting that Mercury isn't as up to snuff within the Celebrity fleet. Otherwise I'll have to remind you about how you react when others say the same regarding Carnival and your opinion of Density. ;-p Warren |

Dick G wrote: it has been some time since I have sailed either RCI or Celebrity, there was, as of my last sailing, no comparison in the quality of the food. And, IMHO, your perception is outdated. There was nothing special about the food or service on Mercury. Your description of the attention to detail by the dining room staff described what I experienced on RCI. Go figure. Warren |

QE2 is very old...agreeed. My point was that Zenith isn't that much older than Voyager of the Seas. So if you consider her "very old" then Voyager by your definition is merely "old." I still consider Voyager new "ish". 5 years in ships life is about the same as dog years. I do admitt that I thought Zenith was older than 14.5 years. I thought about 18+ years. Celibrity also attracts an older crowd than Voyager or Radiance will. Note: every week is different on a ships voyage. There is no way to tell the passenger make up on any given voyage so my age comment may not be accurate either. But Royal C. WILL offer more to do especially for a younger couple. Warren |

Charles wrote: In article , Sue and Kevin Mullen wrote: The aft one was fixed and then broken again. I think it was only the Lotus Pool hot tub and the aft one that had problems. As I am sure you remember us complaining, it was a long walk to find the hot tub not working.lol After you complained they fixed the one at the Lotus Pool. There are two at the Lotus Pool. The one they fixed had hotter water. I never used the one at the aft. I think there were little kids in that one when I was around there and I avoid hot tubs frequented by toddlers.... The funny thing is that both the Lotus Pool and aft hot tubs were fixed after we spoke to the pursers desk and the man in charge of that stuff. The Lotus hot tub continued working, but the aft one closed again, don't know what the story was with it. We never saw kids in the aft hot tub, but doesn't mean there weren't any. Since you are up early and got a lounger every day, you were better off in the lotus pool area. sue |

On 3 Nov 2006 08:55:14 -0800, "Warren" wrote something wonderfully witty: ZombyWoof wrote: I've been to Haiti and there is a real good reason people risk their lives at sea trying to get here. Labadee is RCI's private enclave in a remote corner of Haiti. It's mainly tropical beaches surrounded by mountains. Most people have no idea they are even in Haiti when they stop at Labadee. Since I've been to the "real" Haiti in the Military I've never had any desire to got to anywhere with Haiti in the name. I'll take your word that they may have created a "Tourists" only enclave somewhere and that all cleaned up it might be quite lovely, but the money generated is only being generated to further corrupt & subjugate the local people so I'll pass. The whole place is corrupt as corrupt can be. -- You can run, but you'll only die tired. ZombyWoof |
