They had annouce that we would be the first to beable to experience the spirit out of dry dock so we had new TV's but ours didn't change channels the first 2 days and heard of other who couldnt get theirs to work most of the time.

Well today I am sitting in my living room and as far as I know the water slides still are not ready. Read more
