I'm on board right now and it's a great ship

There was no need to, other than when we could not dock in Miami for de-embarkation (port was closed due to a storm) it was never full

Last week it was Edwin They put out food around 5 One of the best Crown Lounges I have enjoyed

Varies a bit but 8:30 to 12:30 was most common

My pleasure For the record the ship is in good shape. It needs furniture replacement and wifi upgraded (no wifi in staterooms and it's hit and miss beyond that). Reportedly this will be addressed in the March drydock. Also, luggage does NOT fit under my bed.

Currently onboard Grandeur. Brunch is offered on sea days (regular breakfast menu thus far on port days) Attached is a menu. You can also ask for many things (Cream of Wheat, oatmeal...) that are not on the menu The carrot cake was very good

They still have the Ben & Jerry's sign and are still serving B & J at Park Cafe on Grandeur

It looks like Grandeur is running late for it's arrival on Wednesday. Ship tracking shows it's coming in at 9:45am instead of the original 6:30. Is there anyone onboard that can tell us why?

We are stopping in Colon

Any updates on the situation?

I have several cruises coming up to new destinations and am looking for dive recommendations Nassau Puerto Plata St Thomas St Croix I doubted there are good choices but... Colon, Panama Puerto Limon, Costa Rica Cartagena, Columbia Thanks in advance (especially Harris!)

I got it from the Cruise Director when I was onboard - during the Q&A session with him

All that will be changing is the schedule and the addition of Blue Planet. No shows are going away

These are observations, not necessarily complaints and certainly not whining, but the Royal Caribbean product is changing and I want to post my observations Here are subtle but notable changes I've seen recently (please add your own observations) Salad bar "toppings" options greatly reduced cutting down to three dressings on salad bar (no more blue cheese dressing) Eliminating spinach on the salad bar Fresh fruit is no long cut up, it is sliced but not cut up No more strawberries and no honey dew melon on my last two cruises (not too long ago you could get mango, passion fruit, star fruit...) Wedge salad doesn't include blue cheese crumbles (but does have blue cheese dressing) Obviously the whole change to the main dining room menu You may order as many items as you would like (starters, entrees, desserts) but they will serve only one at a time. only 4-5 butter patties on the table when you sit down at a table of 6 (this was the norm, not an exception) Harmony is going to once a day room cleaning/servicing rather than twice a day, with it moving to another ship soon and likely fleetwide Sorrentos used to have other options in addition to pizza, no more What have you noticed?

I have been on three 7 day cruises since December and a ton of cruises over all Two of my recent cruises were with the new menu, one was with the old menu. I dislike the new menu. Why? The options are not very appealing to the point that some nights I skipped having starters, other nights I skipped desserts. (it does save RCCL if you skip and it helps your waistline too) The theming makes no sense because one or two of the entrees do not fit the theme That's my 2¢ on the subject
