Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I'm going on the Oasis out of Bayonne on Sunday. We are scheduled to go south towards Coco Cay and the Bahamas. No itinerary changes yet.
  2. FYI...DH fell going up the stairs to the WC and cut his knee open (no stitches needed). The staff on board and Medical were over accommodating to us. He went there daily to have it cleaned and rebandaged. There was no charge and we did not have RCCL insurance.
  3. Just wondering....by opening this non-smoking room, does that mean the entire main casino allows smoking through-out? Or are there still non-smoking areas in there? Thx
  4. FWIW.....I have not cruised on Princess since the pandemic but on some of the newer Princess ships there was a nice smoking area at the back of the ship. They had both coffee and bar service there, too. On RCCL, there is a smoking area outside somewhere, usually up on the pool deck and you can catch a smoke in the casino. Its not so easy anymore.......
  5. I was on the Enchantment of the Seas for an 8 day cruise last week. After reading all the griping about the new menu here on this board, I did not know what to expect. We were a family of 11 and our MDR experience exceeded our expectations, which is an accomplishment since we had older teenagers and two younger kids (6 and 8 😎 ) in our group). Food is subjective but we had no complaints about taste or quality of ingredients. The Indian selections, although many of us were unfamiliar with this cuisine, were delish and I'm glad we ventured outside our food comfort zone to try them. Even though the menu was not as extensive as in the dining room last May on the Oasis (old menu), everyone found something to their liking. There was only one night where the vegetarian in our group had little choice but it was because of her extreme dislike of mushrooms...plenty of selections in the WJC for her otherwise. We found the precooked cheeseburgers in the WJ very good, as was the roast beef sandwich in the Solarium. The options in the WJC for both breakfast and lunch were more than adequate. And no one at our table was served the wrong order and food temp was consistently warmer than I expected after reading the complaints on this board. I guess I consider myself blessed that our experience wasn't marred by any dining room problems. The loudest complaint I heard was that they ran out of soft serve ice cream one afternoon! But to reiterate, food and expected service is subjective. Maybe my bar was set lower than others but none of us ever left a meal unsatisfied and for our group, choices were plentiful. I'll definitely cruise with RCCL again. The changes to the MDR menu will not deter me.
  6. Thank you for your review! I'm taking my family on an 8 day cruise on EOS on 3/3. Your review shed some light on "cruising in cold weather". My grandkids haven't realized yet that 4 of their 8 days may not represent beach weather. It should be fun for all of us, none the less. Enjoy your future cruises!
  7. You are allowed to bring soda on RCCL? I was not aware that they allowed it......
  8. We were on the Oasis in May (3 adults). Ate at around 7:30-8:00 and never had to wait for a MTD table. But be advised....not too many large family units or children on board for this cruise. You can avoid the lines in the MTD queue if you are flexible. If you have a larger group and want to eat when everybody else does, you wait with everyone else or book "traditional dining ".
  9. We were on Oasis out of NJ in May. One of my travel mates wanted a White Zinfindel to drink and the waiter told us that this type of wine was currently unavailable across the fleet. Must be supply chain problems...... Too bad for those who buy "the package", if they drink this type normally. Many other wine types available, but not all the wine brands that may be shown on their " liquor menus". On a positive note for me....Truly Spiked Seltzer are now available, but not all flavors/types. Yay!
  10. We were on Oasis in May. Chardonnay and White Zinfindel were non-existent.
