2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 4

We liked HRH better, though don't get the mac&cheese at the restaurant. It's highway robbery the price you pay! HRH had better theming. But if you're going for the FOTL access, stay at RPR cuz it's cheaper. At least it was when we were there.

Thanks! How does Portofino Bay compare to Royal Pacific? I've always wanted to stay at Portofino since Samantha Brown's special on it.

Call me a coward, but I don't volunteer for hazardous duty

Sorry Gary but you asked for it.

I can't really say for sure, but my guess is MUCH nicer. RPR is the low end of resorts there while Porofino is the top, with HRH in the middle. I remember that Samantha Brown show, and it looked really nice.

RPR is really just a basic hotel in my opinion with a touch of theming to it. Thing is, we stayed at the Poly (our first time to stay there) on the same trip when we transfered over to WDW and were so much more impressed! US tried to copy WDW resorts but IMO they fall way short. But if it's just a bed and FOTL you're looking for, well I guess you can't go wrong at any of their hotels.

That's just nasty - granted the doll stories are worse but still - ICK....

So far the guess have been....

For those players where I've failed to fill in your real name please fill in those blocks or PM, I seem to have neglected to write them down and I prefer to call people by real names. (Too many years in the Army)

I'm all for this one as long as there's alcohol in it and you drink the whole Konk Kooler or comparable grog yourself.

Now, don't you hope someone gets it.

I thought HRH was the top of the line. I think Portofino has the nicest decor on the outside. I haven't gotten a good look at Royal Pacific yet. I would probably use it for sleeping and FOTL and maybe eat n one of the restaurants since it would be convenient. The stay would be a measuring stick on how they compare to Disney and if the value they present is there (FOTL, nice rooms, easy commute to park) so I can give unbiased advice to others.

Thanks for the information.

I'm going to guess on my own today, as the kids didn't have any ideas this morning before they went off to school.

So, my guess is Brother Bear.

Yep, it sure does help the post count!

Bring it on !!!

The worst I do is up trouble on other threads. The one I currently am working on is about whether you can park at BC or BW while not staying there. The answer is yes because of the valet parking which I will take full advantage of before the cruise. .

I am usually the class but have been called by some and by others. I like to think of myself as a but not a . I try not to get at anything but if things make me I turn into then my enemies must or they will get a .

Gary, I couldn't find much better than this to respond with, there really isn't much attacking smileys to choose from.

So did you get tickets????

 

[bcvprincesses]

Curt my girls want to guess too. They are sure that it is Mulan.

I am a little late but our address is 826.

Mind if I help?

and one I've never seen before:

We're back and had a great time. The 8-day cruise turned into an 8 1/2 day when we had to turn back to St. Thomas for two medical emergencies. We didn't get to the NY port until 3:30pm Sunday. Just glad I wasn't traveling for business this week, since we didn't get home until 7:30pm.

I did things I never thought I would do before. I sung karaoke, not one, but three times! The first time I was so nervous, but after that it was such a rush. People who go to karaoke are so cool, fun and supportive. The only time I heard boos was when this one woman did a really, really, really bad version of [i[Material Girl[/i]

I also entered the hairy chest contest. I still don't believe I did that. I thought I had a chance, but there were some guys that should have been classified as primates.

It was interesting to compare the Carnival Legend to Disney. I found the service just as good. We had a great wait staff and cabin steward. The ship is a bit more flashy than DCL and I appreciated the non-smoking on DCL, since there were lounges we avoided because of the smoke.

Food: The food was excellent, however, there weren't enough non-meat/non-shellfish choices. Many of the fish choices had some elements of shellfish in them. DCL has more choices, including separate vegetarian and lighter fare sections. The one thing I did love was the 24-hour soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt machines and pizza station.

Shows: I'm used to the DCL production style shows. The Carnival shows were okay, but DCL is clearly better in my view.

Staterooms: The balcony rooms are about the same size. Carnival has really, really, comfortable beds. I guess they are known for them. Not having the split bathrooom didn't seem to be as much of a hinderance as I expected.

Out friends were first time cruisers and they enjoyed them selves too. As a matter of fact, Pearl was the first one to do karaoke.

Now the trick is - how do I keep this tan for five more weeks until I cruise again?

And who wants to fill me in on what I missed in the last 152 pages?

and one I've never seen before:

Thanks Karen. Where do you find these rather violent smileys? I thought we were only supposed to use the ones provided. I know one thing, Iwon't mess with you as far as smileys go.

I think most of us are eating at Liberty Tree Tavern so the majority would rather meet by the Liberty Tree. What time are we meeting? The reason I ask is Disney ropes that area off in preparation for the early parade so a spot near there would be by the Picture station at Hall of Presidents.
