I will try to answer some of the questions I had...
Yes, they still have the burlap beach bag for Castaway Club Members. I really was hoping for something different but ended up liking it because it was a large bag. At the end of our cruise, I learned to hate this bag really quick. When I asked this question, some gentleman stated his wife didn't like it because it stuck to her clothes. Well.....I purchased a Nylon Jacket in the gift shop that cost me $70 due to returning home to 30 degree weather when we got off the airplane. While sitting at the airport I just happened to feel what felt like little balls all down the side of my new jacket, yep, that stupid burlap bag picked the whole side of my brand new jacket. So ladies and gentlemen, if you are wearing anything nylon such as jackets, shirts, pants, or swim wear, beware this bag will ruin your clothes.
The pool water did not feel like it was heated when we were on there, with the exception of the adult pool. On our sea day the pool, seemed closed during most of the afternoon. And when it was open my husband and grandson jumped out as fast as they could, because some dad was yelling at his daughter for peeing in the pool for the 4th time.
Castaway Cay the ocean was cold but there were people still swimming.
The cruise director was Jimmy. Our room host was Conrado. Our head server was Ali, server was Atmaja, and our assistant server was Filippo (he was so nice)but is leaving to go onto the Disney Magic in 2 weeks.
Doctor Strange was the new movie playing on there.
We also heard one of our favorite server was fired, by SEVERAL crew members due to 2 guest comments, plus not receiving excellent's on all of her comment cards. I swear this young lady was so sweet and would have done anything for anyone. When I told my daughter and hubby they both were in shock, and said NO WAY! So YES people these crew members count on our excellent comments on those cards. Even if I don't care for someone, I still give them excellent. One of the crew members told me, that if people mention them on a comment card after so many they get extra hours off (only after I asked what they got if people mention them on a comment card). So people, I know a few of you said there is always room for them to improve and you won't give excellent scores - how would you feel if someone wouldn't give you an excellent score because someone thought there is always room for improvement and caused you to lose your job....just a thought!!! I now understand why the crew members are striving to get excellent scores because their job depends on it!
This was our first Very Merrytime Cruise... the ship was decorated beautiful. The Santa's Ball was awesome in the atrium. They had a snow machine and there was snow flying everywhere. It will get you in the Christmas Spirit, my daughter came home and put up her Christmas tree.
