KathyC Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 So excited!! I'll be on her on March 7th for a pop-up dinner, trying Razzle Dazzles, the vegetarian-inspired restaurant. I hope to take LOTS of pictures and maybe even periscope if possible. Yay!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseHabit Bill Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 So jealous! We'll be on for a one night preview on March 19th. If we'd not known about that event already we'd have been finding airfare to NYC yesterday ? 1 Quote Disney nut, cruise fiend, tech geek, condescending elitist.

KathyC Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 As far as I know, I'll be the first person in our cruising community to set foot on her. We have the first time slot for dinner. I can predict that on the train ride home, Tony will be looking up sailings. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDawgRonAZ Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Just saw a decent review of the ship on Youtube and I have to say, it doesn't look like the ship is for me. I will hold out final judgement when I hear from others but right now, I'm not looking to book it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be really interesting to survey cruisers after sailing and see what the divide in general opinion between those who have cruised and those who haven't. Onbaord experience, activities, etc could also change how people feel (in either direction - making it more or less appealing for some). For that, we've still got over a month before we get to see much. Quote Disney nut, cruise fiend, tech geek, condescending elitist.

smokey0202 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 i also saw same review and little hesitant myself. since no option to pick cabin location, it wouldnt be nice to be stuck with cabin if only a few days in a undesirable location for the price. waiting to hear from those "seasoned" cruisers review of their input after doing sailing of overall experience. only time will tell but let the countdown begin until it debuts.

KathyC Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 I'm hesitant to read any reviews at this point, as she hasn't even sailed yet. I'll reserve judgement until people actually sail on her. ? I'm planning on periscoping my arrival to her, to capture my first impressions, then I'll scope as much as they allow once I arrive.

mac Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 We are most likely going to go on 3/7 also. The first dining time is sold out, but they have them every 15 minutes. So long as we dont' have to babysit the grandkids that day we will go. Kathy, if we get a reservation, I'll let you know the time. Maybe I'll get to meet the POTY in person !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbob7 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 So this discussion reminds me of the comments on my thread about Edge/Apex. The polarization over innovation that those ships generate can only be more extreme with the Branson product. I feel that both Edge class and Scarlet Lady are targeting new demographics as cruisers with the clear knowledge it will not be accepted by the “core” demographic of seasoned cruisers. Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead! Change is good and I look forward to it! BobJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have picked Pink Agave instead of also going with Razzle Dazzles. Then I would have been able to share different pictures.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how long the meal will be, but I'm thinking 1.5ish hours. So we will be there at the same time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
