Just got back from my first cruise...

[VOX - DEI]

on sat. It was the best thing since sliced bread. I went to Hubbard Glacier from Vancouver, BC on the Radiance of the Seas. All I can say is WOW I saw 300 feet ice of fall into the ocean and make a ~6 foot wave. The ship got within 1/10 of a mile of the glacier; I was scared shitless we were going to hit the damn thing. It was a sunny 50-65 deg that day and through out the seven days up there. The food was great! I stayed in a balcony room that was not to big not to small. But the shower was so freaking small with a pathetic curtain. I flooded the bathroom, which poured through the door jam and a bit into my room. I didn't gain any weight since I stuck to 4 courses and not 5.

Anyone who has never been on a cruise should def check out the Radiance of the Seas, it's a buet.

+2,000 sqf of machines no free weights

I'm sure you could do 20 reps with 10 sec. neg on every machine with maxed out weight to maintain muscle.

The buffet they had which was almost 24 hours was worse than ok. If you clean you plate of all 5 courses for lunch and dinner that would be equivalent to eating two extra-large pan pizzas per day assuming you skipped the unlimited custom omelets they make for breakfast at the buffet.

Oh yeah the room service was great I ordered three, three egg ham and cheese omelets at 4 am, some hot chocolate and a few croissants and 15 min later it arrived piping hot.

gripes:

Shower to was way too small

Breakfast was nothing special and not even as good as Denney’s

Dry cleaning stained my shirt, but later fixed it.

US customs for starting work at 12:30 instead of 12:00.

The 9 dollar drinks

The 100 bucks /mo the bartenders get from RCI. Every thing else come from tips at rarely passenger frequented bars

The cheap tipping passengers

The glass elevators being spaced 10 feet from each other and the faint dig when it actually arrives and you miss it.

Having to push and hold a big button for 10 sec. to flush the toilet.

not having texas hold em of any kind

They did however have three diff animal sausages for breakfast.

There is right and wrong, but only God knows which one is which. I am always having trouble finding an answer that I "think" has more right than wrong in it.

they do have good buffet sushi hafter 6pm

and lunch salads a great at the buffet as well.

There are about 3 million cruise lines down here but none are going by any glaciers. That would be worth the trip. I'm glad you had a good experience bro.
