    70000tons.tv 2019 recaps

    by Godflesh » Fri Apr 05, 2019 4:46 am

    It’s shocking in a good way that they are coming so SOON, last year we had to wait for 6 months for day 4.

    They’ve always been good, but for some reason I think the Day 1 recap is extra perfect this year.
    The cameramen/women have captured perfect moments, and the production is top notch (except when the announcer mentioned “Liberty” instead of “Independence” at 5:01, oops).

    Also, kudos to the graphic designer who made the metal and black leather textured logo, it’s so sexy I want to buy it as a real object.

    Lol, oops.

    The Day 1 recap is ALSO improved by the fact that, as far as I could tell, I don't appear in it this year. :lol:

    Recap quality has gone way up this year, is there a new video editor?

    That would make sense. The transition to a new editor is likely the reason for the long period of 70000tons.tv silence last year.

    I think they are more popular and when you see lots of shots showing the fans, ie, not just the artists performing.

    Hint-hint-70K-video-people.

    For example, last year when BangerTV did recaps, they only showed their host talking about his experience, interviewing a few moments with artists, but very limited shots of the fans. Why nobody remembers their recaps anymore, haha!

    I did appear in Day 1 recap for an instant sitting with Mike Wise (RIP). Torstian is in the foreground hamming it up, why they capped us in the background. I don't think all that footage was from exactly Day 1. I'm pretty sure the day Mike and I are spotted was not Thursday.

    Added Day 2.
    I like how they highlight the “bonuses” like extra surf and turf (that’s not free, though), drink of the day (also not free), world premiere show (OK, that one is free), making what was in the end an average year seem special because... special is the norm here :3drunks:

    I heard that at the fine dining you can get an extra meal to go. But without a microwave oven in the cabin, it just doesn't make sense unless you like your "dish best served cold" (revenge), haha!

    In 5 years I only made it to the fine dining once, too busy.

    "Revenge, like gazpacho soup, is best served cold!" --Phantom Limb :lol:

    I've not heard of being able to get an extra meal to go from the main dining room, but you can normally ask for extra entrees or sides, and you can ask for a dish-cover to take a dessert with you.
    My first year on 70K, on the Liberty, I remember I asked for another second entrée and the waiter looked at me like I'd grown three heads. I thought "Huh, so that's what it's like on Royal Caribbean?" I haven't had any issues on any 70K since then, though.
    In 5 years I only made it to the fine dining once, too busy.
    It definitely comes down to "if I go to the MDR, will I have to miss any shows I really want to see?" And sometimes sacrifices are made, often inadvertently. "Damn, I missed WHO?!"

    The interstitial music used between scenes and in the background is truly awful, it should be noted. It sounds like a 5 year old playing with a drum kit.

    Yeah, something different would be nice.
    Granted, a hot tub + an open-air stage scene is unique to 70K, but...
    I've booked my hotel, car is paid off, TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
    Can't book my hotel for another month or two (stay/park free/free shuttle deal), but I've had the cruise-fare money squirreled away since January and have been adding to it.
    By this point I could almost pay for a Grand Suite...just for myself. (If I hadn't just bailed a friend out of jail in Texas, I think I COULD do it. :lol: )

    No, although my first year it almost happened, as my cruise-buddy had to back out and I went to Facebook to find someone who wanted to go. (Amazingly, it worked.)
    I did it on my very first time and it felt wonderful! Way too expensive, tho...
    Oh, yes. It's standard cruise-industry policy, too. With rare exceptions, like "single supplement waivers" and tiny solo cabins on a few ships, you always have to pay double.

    Goddamn I wish I could do that. I like naps and am light sleeper.

    Aiming for a double instead of a quad next year at least.

    But I did meet three amazing ladies sharing a room this year, so there's that at least :)

    I always wanted to have a beer bucket party on the balcony--never happened.. spent about 10 minutes total time in 2 years on the balcony.. great for taking pics, and just sitting listening to the water as we cruise along.

    As incredible as 70k is, having a balcony room every year has been a necessity. The whole experience is overwhelming (in a good way), but having a truly quiet place to silently watch the seas and sip on a drink has been a must for my mental health through the whole thing - just a chance to center myself and prepare for the next incredible adventure on board.

    For cruisers looking to save money, there are absolutely places on board you can do this publicly, but having your own balcony room makes this so much more convenient.

    I actually vastly prefer the interior rooms, for my mental health. What /I/ need is a place I can get sleep when I need to. The interior rooms become pitch black since they don't have windows or light interference - which is perfect for me and my light sensitive eyes.

    So, you know, your mileage may vary.

    Sure, you can go up to the helipad in the front (Deck 5, accessed from Deck 4 on either side). It's quiet and there are benches to sit on, although it's usually really windy when the ship is underway.
    You can also step outside on the side decks (the same ones we board the ship on), and it's usually less windy.

    For me, if I just have one roommate, I'm good with any type of room. Balcony, oceanview or interior.
    With two roommates I'd prefer to get a balcony, and in the unlikely event I get three roommates (4 total) I'd prefer to get a suite.

    Yeah I'm a super light sleeper so I can't nap wherever, and having three other people in and out afforded me no opportunities to nap at all really. I just kept trying to nap around midnight, falling sleep and missing all the late shows D:

    If i could afford to I'd get a spot all to myself but I know that's a stretch, but I'm on point for a double, yay.
