That square pizza at Sorrento's was fucking horrible. Was like eating a slab of half burnt cardboard. Gave it a few tries but could never even get through one slice. Eventually I just started moving on when I saw a square pizza being served.....but it seemed by day 2 that's all they were serving there.

I wasn't on this last cruise in any way shape or form, but, I wanna ask, has the lines for the band merch improved this time around?
My last sailing adventure was the 2015 cruise and the lines were already long at 7am!
Maybe, official 70000 tons shirts/merch should be included in our tickets, or a select/option....like, you select this type of ticket, for the cabin and a 70k official package that awaits you in your cabin upon arrival.
Select your shirt size etc.
The Inferno Festival made this happen in 2017. As each year, I'm sure.
What say you sailors?
I thought the process was somewhat better this year. Those who wanted to invest the time to wait in line for a number got first pick of the merch, and they deserved it. I got #610 and missed out on a few things I'd have liked, but that's fine because I didn't wait on line.
This CANNOT be done because it would require Royal Caribbean to assume the responsibility -- and the liability -- for lost or stolen shirts, plus the room stewards are already overworked.Maybe, official 70000 tons shirts/merch should be included in our tickets, or a select/option....like, you select this type of ticket, for the cabin and a 70k official package that awaits you in your cabin upon arrival.

Sorry, but you haven't seen the system in action so you don't know what you're talking about. It's still first come first served. This year, the usual overnight crowd stayed up overnight and got their merch. I got a number as soon as I got up, and when my number was called I went to the booth. I was in line for like 40 minutes, got what I wanted, got out. Boom. Easy. It's the best I've ever seen it. Yeah maybe you miss a band you liked, but you were going to anyway under the old system. Every thing you said about "too bad you missed it" is still true.Malaka wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 8:36 am This numbered system seems to me like a bunch of horseshit. Granted, I have not been on the cruise since this system was implemented...
The only reasonable suggestion is now that the 70K team is growing, why not have multiple merch points?... Have your 70K t-shirts at every merch point, but designate band merch all over the place.
Just my 2 cents since I won't be getting a survey this year. I hope to be back next year and the merch is first come, first served like it used to be.
Napalm Death pool deck in 2015 was the loudest set I've heard on 70K, it felt like my head was going to come apart.Godflesh wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 8:55 pm - the sound sucked in many places (too loud in many cases - I don’t wear earplugs -, too weak on the pool deck stage, except for OBITUARY, where the sound was excellent).

Did anybody catch this at all? Andy changed the word now to ONBROARD
He's done that pretty frequently. I can't remember the last time he spelled it "onboard," come to think of it.
I saw onbroad, but never onbroard before
Oh, lol, good catch. Either Andy is giving us a New Word...or he just mistyped an already misspelled word.
Cozumel is a bit like a much larger version of Grand Turk, but without the convenience of a beach Right There at the port.Cardest wrote: ↑Sat Feb 23, 2019 6:54 am All of these responses are interesting to read.
I didn't go to Cozumel last time, but I remember reading some negative reports in the forum back in 2011 regarding the shore activities and shopping/sight seeing/local vendors etc.
I wonder how it'll be this time.
I guess, you'll be safe for next year at least - but I won't be relaxed until I'll get my booking donenekrobarr wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 7:03 am For this year and last year, the only 'issue' I made a comment about was regarding the booking tiers, or rather the seeming lack thereof at this point. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way, but it's frustrating not being able to get the room one requested, let alone the deck, because some 3-time survivor was able to submit their info 0.0235 milliseconds faster than me.
What's the sound of beating a dead horse?
it was "onbroad" for years - the additional R might just have been a typo
I'm actually excited to go to Cozumel. This year I wasn't so thrilled since we went to Labadee in 2017. The locals looked quite unhappy and they closed all the bars pretty early. They were also removing the beach tumblers too soon. I understand Haiti is going through hard times, probably the reason why they did not seem too glad to see usPellaz wrote: ↑Sat Feb 23, 2019 4:13 pmCozumel is a bit like a much larger version of Grand Turk, but without the convenience of a beach Right There at the port.
There is a much bigger vendors' and shopping area by the port. They are a bit more "pushy" than the ones at Grand Turk but nowhere near as bad as the "straw market" at Labadee (or God help you, Nassau). There are also more choices so some prices would reflect that competition.
There are many more excursion opportunities in Coz because it's a much bigger island than Grand Turk, and we'd also have the option of going to the Mexican mainland for some excursions -- like the ruins at Tulum, etc. (Book anything like that through Royal Caribbean, though.)
I was there in October 2017, and I liked it. I'd rather be going to CocoCay (new dock and facilities) or Grand Turk, but Coz is one of the better cruise destinations. But we will NOT have the place to ourselves like we did at Grand Turk.
Now I have to schedule an expensive trip to France in May 2020, making #RoundX even more unlikely for me.Godflesh wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 8:55 pm Looking at 2020, I can’t take vacation days that early in the year, unless I forego vacation days this year.
That means WAITING FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS before taking vacation, and we all now how this ends.
This year’s delayed announcements already cost me 25000 expired miles.
So yeah, it would take a lot for me to book again.
I know, we all said that some point, it’s like a rite of passage!
A journey of a thousand sea-miles begins with a single step.
ACCEPT played without any amplifiers on stage in the theater, and they sounded OK (better than on the weak pool deck stage).Razor Ramon wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 2:57 pmNapalm Death pool deck in 2015 was the loudest set I've heard on 70K, it felt like my head was going to come apart.Godflesh wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 8:55 pm - the sound sucked in many places (too loud in many cases - I don’t wear earplugs -, too weak on the pool deck stage, except for OBITUARY, where the sound was excellent).

Bloodbath pool deck volume was way too low and Mors Principium Est pool deck was low and none of the speakers along the front of the stage were even on..
The pool deck has actual speakers along the front of the stage, not talking about monitors or amps. The other stages don't have these.Godflesh wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 11:39 pmACCEPT played without any amplifiers on stage in the theater, and they sounded OK (better than on the weak pool deck stage).Razor Ramon wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 2:57 pmNapalm Death pool deck in 2015 was the loudest set I've heard on 70K, it felt like my head was going to come apart.Godflesh wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 8:55 pm - the sound sucked in many places (too loud in many cases - I don’t wear earplugs -, too weak on the pool deck stage, except for OBITUARY, where the sound was excellent).

It was an eerie (perhaps even unheard of?) experience to see such a naked stage, but they probably figured out what was going on - “We don’t need our amps, because we have Justin Bieber’s sound engineer on the console, drowning everybody with decibels”.
ACCEPT was the best band on the boat for me, real pros, that’s when you can see those 40 years of experience mattering.
It felt like having AC/DC onbroard (and yeah, they sounded like them sometimes), you know they’re going to sound good, no matter what.
I want to do it all! I'm so excited about Cozumel I need to plan ahead my activities. What is that deep sea submarine tour? Can't find any information about it. Most definitely will do some snorkeling, hell I'm even considering some diving
