We had a nice turnout this year at the Viking Crown. I believe some people from the Discord gaming chat community also joined us, hence the increased number of unknown people around

That's why there were so many people there, haha!

... Viking Crown sure beats standing in the sun on the ass-end of the ship. Plus the sky-bar is right below, right? Does anyone remember if that is open before the muster-drill? My bad, Viking Crown in aft-mid ship deck 14. The closest bar that is probably open that I can tell is hop on the elevato...

I received a phone call from the 70K Customer Service team. They confirmed we can use the Viking Crown as a meeting place, but the bar will not be open due to the muster drill, unfortunately. So, Viking Crown 3:00pm? Group photo at 3:30pm? Awesome cegr80! U-da-get-things-done-man. Thank you for set...

Not all hotels offer a shuttle service from the airport or to port. My first experience with this was in 2016 and the pre-party was at Ocean Manor Hotel. That was before Uber was popular and I had sticker shock getting from the airport to the hotel. Riptide doesn't offer any kind of shuttle service.

is there a free shuttle from FLL? I thought i read that somewhere. The hotel I'm at has a shuttle to/from the airport so I was thinking of just taking that to the airport then the airport shuttle to the port Ramada Airport/Cruise Port motel has a shuttle like that. Picked me up at the airport, back...

Here is the post that Dorothy made on Facebook about transportation to/from the hotels and port and the parties. Best part for me is if enough people sign up we could have buses going from Riptide to port. I booked a ride to port for $15 from Riptide. Heavy Metal Beach Party Book your bus to the POR...

Sorry to hear this. Sending my condolenses. I did not know her. But so many on the boat did from reading the Facebook posts. When was she on the boat last?

I love the Viking Crown, the bar 'can' be open if Royal Caribbean knows people will be up there expecting drinks. I think Andy (or someone on Andy's staff) would need to request that. Does anyone want to reach out to UMC to see if they can request the bar in Viking Crown be staffed? ^^^^ This needs...

So I got my booking request for my girlfriend and my room, but I panicked a little and booked a room for a few hundred more a person because the cheaper option room I was going for were showing up sold out.

She addressed the gue...

This is something I’ve never seen on 70K and hope someday we might have these. They were very interesting and gave insights into the bands and the artists that you can’t find anywhere else. The format was each band would take questions from the audience. A DJ or MC personality would moderate and kee...

I knew it. Right when I'm smack in the middle of MegaCruise. Now I have to get that expensive boat Wifi just so I can keep hitting refresh on the 70K news.

The only reason this one may become true is that, you know, it's less than 3 months before departure and it should happen some time s.... I won't say the word.

Well done! Don't say the s... word. I've removed that word from my vocabulary. Every time I see it I get triggered. Haha!

I'm thinking that if we don't get anything on October 10th -- tenth sailing, tenth day of the tenth month 10th anniversay sailing, UMC bright idea => Announce on the 10th month (October), 10th day at 10 o'clock (UMC time of course), RELEASE THE KRAKEN. Oh ye of little faith, it makes perfect sense,...

Exactly! Contemplating getting the rediculously expensive internet package aboard MegaCruise for this very same reason.

Don't know anything about movies, I've been mostly watching anime this year. Though John Wick 3 was fantastic. John Wick 3 was awesome.

Pellaz, you have experience with cruise prices: is Megacruise much more expensive than 70K, or in the same ballpark?

Slightly more expensive, but an extra day. That being said, a LOT less bands.

Less bands and it won't be a marathon like 70K, I might actually get proper sleep on MegaCruise.

... Interestingly, the Walker Stalker Cruise (for fans of The Walking Dead ) made its last sailing back in February. I have a friend who went on it every year...I'll have to ask her what happened and why it died. What killed (Fear the) Walking Dead for me was Morgan's do-goodery. He has single-hand...
