SharkTums

Thanks for the report, makes me miss Japan even more. Can't believe all that merchandise!!!

Really?

Bummed that the ship will be based in NYC, but it's a great market for RCCL and it will do amazing there! I don't quite get the Bumper Cars, but I love the 'pod that extends over the sea' and the indoor Sky Diving. Very cool! Can't wait to see more once all the videos and info is 'officially' online and not just leaked early. EDIT! I will add to this post as we get some new photos and video of the Quantum of the Seas! I see the standard Rock Wall and some other cool things! And since Robb loves Vine so much, it seems pretty awesome that Royal Caribbean is also using Vine to show one of the brand new never seen before on a ship features...It's called the 'North Star', and is kind of like an observation pod on a stick! [vine]https://vine.co/v/bFPhp6PD0Wp[/vine] And here you can see the awesome, also never before seen on a cruise ship, sky diving!!!! (Note the Flow Rider is there as well!) [vine]https://vine.co/v/bFP5tqiKxxh[/vine] Wow! They also just announced interior staterooms would have an 80" virtual screen...kind of like Disney's Virtual Port Hole, but this is a giant virtual BALCONY!!! It's like they read my mind!?!?! Here are some more awesome photos! Overview of the ship. Here you can see the iFly RipCord experience, NO upcharge!!!! Here you can see the 'North Star' observation pod hundreds of feet over the ocean! Also, just announced NOT an upcharge! Bumper Cars!!! Taking Disney's Virtual Port Hole one step further with the 'Virtual Balcony', an 80" LED screen in interior staterooms!

^LOL! That's even better then! Means they picked up some cheap or free Pepsi crap but are serving the good stuff!

^Absolutely do SFGAd on one side of the cruise, and then I would suggest Busch Gardens and Kings Dominion on the other. ^^And yes, I am SOOOO excited about the announcement at 10am this morning!!!!!

^Great, heading to your town now.

^^Jon, I'm up to another 90 eggs if you want to do a swap. Just let me know! EB - KT helped you out a bit today too!

Looks great, other than it's a Pepsi Park!

People should just come to Florida and ride the better Space Mountain!

^^It makes a lot more sense after that yes, but don't visit any towns until you have 400 donuts and your license.

I questioned at first why that Crazy Mouse had such a high height restriction, then I went on it and it nearly killed me! It's like they put WD-40 on the spinning stuff or something, it was insane!

Scott's 100+ eggs are set, working on Shawn's now! EB, I saw your mark as well and repaid the favor.

^&^^ Perfect, I will unload my eggs in your towns in a couple of hours after I finish these crazy Japan trip emails!!!

^Yeah, I think I'll probably do that as well. I'll post here every day to see who wants to be my 'egg buddies' for the day and dump like 100 in two towns. So who wants my eggs today? And please make sure it's someone who can repay the favor.

These closures are starting to make national news...any updates from our locals?

I love all these little parks and wonder why we don't have stuff like this in the US!!! GRRR!!!

Thanks for the update, it looks TERRIFYING!!!!

I've always wanted to go to this little park. Seeing all the kids stuff will now mean we have to before KT gets too big so we can play too, looks awesome!

Went to bed last night with exactly 1000 snakes and Lisa's Balance Beam...woke up this morning to exactly 995...grrrr...that means someone sent Lisa to my town and I really thought I had weeded everyone out! Anyways, KT is having a hard time with this update especially on her nearly full first generation iPad that keeps crashing, so I'm going to help her out later and leave eggs in a ton of towns, she has like 250 to drop off! She still had a ton of random people from Xmas that were stealing from her and stuff...terrible!

Tested this out over the last few hours and it all does make sense. I'd say in about half the towns I visited I would randomly hear the snakes hiss, and then my count would all of a sudden drop by 5, but there would be 5 extra snakes in the town for me to whack. That being said you get snakes about 66-75% of the time and eggs the other so you can LOSE snakes. BTW, I'm pretty much caught up on visiting all my friends and I made sure to leave eggs for everyone! Hope you're all doing the same.

^Awesome! That will be a lot of fun. Make sure to do the research and as you get closer book the shows you want AHEAD OF TIME as it will reduce so much stress and waiting in line once onboard.

^I thought about messaging you, but we were literally there for about 15 minutes which might have just put more angst into the kids!

^Yeah so reading up on it this is the readers digest version of what I found out: - DON'T visit other towns until you have your license. You will 'lose' snakes. This is because when you visit towns the game will sometimes release some of your snakes into that town for you to catch. This is why even if you don't have an expert license you can sometimes catch more than five snakes in the town you're visiting. The five allowed plus the ones it released from you! - Once you have your license you still may lose snakes when visiting other towns. These snakes will be taken out of your count and released in either that town or your town. Once you whack them all back again you may lose because you may get some eggs instead of snakes. This is not a bug, just part of the game which I actually think is somewhat interesting and makes it more challenging. Hope this helps!

So I just went to a few towns, dropped about 40 eggs, went back to my town and was down 10 snakes?!? Is someone still stealing from me or is this the glitch some of you we're talking about??

^What ship and what itinerary? Out of Australia or somewhere else? BTW, I love logging in to the Royal Caribbean site and seeing that I have two weeks left till cruising, I've never booked a cruise quite so last minute before. It's definitely a perk to living in Florida!
