Cruising with Theme Park Review - Feb 2011

[larrygator]

Looks like Russ is eating a Brat with mustard.

[jbottgen]

Been debating on cruising on this ship.

 

Thanks Robb, now I am for sure going on this ship (or it's sister ship).

 

Looks amazing, and not really crowded.

The build up to and the reveal of Robb's decorated cupcake is seriously among the greatest things ever posted to this site. I'm still laughing.

I was clapping with Glee when I saw Robb's cupcake. I think that one picture might sums this site up perfectly. Brilliant

 

 

The ship looks amazing.

A little weird and misshapen, but ultimately hilarious and tasty?

Damn one should learn to proof read before hitting the send button. We could now play Australia's favorite new game show! What was he trying to say!

I think I could honestly put my fear of the ocean on hold in order to experience this cruise. It looks so much fun... even for a young adult like me. Actually, I've never been to Disney "anything" all my life and I've even been to Orlando twice, but I guess we wanted to go to the beach and drink beer instead.

 

Someday though I gotta give it all a shot.

The ship looks fantastic. Wow.

 

KidTums is definitely growing up quickly.

 

Cake decorating, looks fantastic. Robb, your cupcake was definitely unique.

 

Thanks for updating us as you go along

Robb, your cupcake looks like a sad, melting, yellow snowman--but did he taste good?

[Brandy524]

Robb's cupcake was a-mazing! The others were pretty good, too. Seriously, everything on that ship looks incredible. Great pictures!

Robb on "avg" what does the new ship cost for a trip?!

It depends on the ship and your cabin. For example, this cruise was $1,100 per person, and slightly less for Kristen. But we are also in a balcony cabin. You could get cabins that are cheaper, and suites that are $10,000 per person. I want to say that if we did an inside stateroom it would have been $899 per person.

 

And when you consider that's all inclusive for 7 nights, that's not terrible at all!

 

On average, the Carnival and NCL ships are a little cheaper, and the Disney ships are a bit more.

Great pictures, can't wait to see more, the ship looks amazing at night

[Wallfan]

Looks like Snails to me.

The Promenade ditched its gay pride theme for some hot red LOVE!

And you JUST MISSED the world's largest gay cruise. This is what your boat looked like last week.

The gay cruise was just before the Alvey's. Wonder if the floor is still sticky?

[WildStangAlex]

Really loving the TR! I love Royal Caribbean, and up until now I have only been on the Voyager class, but we're planning on a cruise on Allure next year. Hope you have a great week!

[TPDave]

^^ I think one of Robb's captions in the update alluded to that

 

Looks like you're having a great time guys, I can't wait for the day when I can do a TPR cruise!!

I might never forgive them for posting pictures of those really good looking peppercorn steak and cheesecake. Hell, that cheesecake slice was huge!

[Brandy524]

That's really not a bad price at all, especially considering the length of the trip and that it's all inclusive. It's way less than I expected! Having never been on a cruise I really didn't know what to expect actually.

[RoCo]

^Totally agree. $1,100 per person seems like a steal, especially after looking at these mouthwatering pictures. You should add a disclaimer at the head of each of these updates: WARNING! DO NOT LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS IF YOU ARE HUNGRY AND/OR LATE FOR A MEAL! YOU WILL REGRET IT!

 

And that "Rising Tide" bar? Genius.

LOL! We are totally aware. Funny thing is we asked some of the staff about it and they said it was just insane. I guess they were also told they aren't really allowed to talk about it as some people probably wouldn't "approve" of 6,000 gay men on the boat. Honestly, I think even as a straight guy I'd have an awesome time with that group!!!

Love the report so far...I am so jealous. I know what he's eating, my favorite, escargot aka snails!

Imagine the palaver when Glee came on TV.

I just did the Flowrider for two hours. Every single part of my body hurts like hell! But it was so worth it!!!

I love Flow Riders, but yes, they do beat you to death, bring you back to life, and, beat you again.

 

Worst and Best time I ever had on one: I had just gotten on, and had managed to get up near the front, and my board slipped out from under me. I did a complete front flip and face planted into the waves. That 360 degree front flip off that board was absolutely amazing, yet utterly embarrassing at the same time.

[TheRedShadow]

I've only been on a Flowrider once-fell off.

 

Robb's cupcake looks better than what I would have made.

 

That ship looks sooo amazing.

[the ghost]

This looks almost(remember, I am a fanboy) as awesome as the Disney dream. Awesome pictures and cupcake. Also, I thought Russel was eating a keish, but it totally looks like escargot now that I look at it.
