Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I don't know if I want to leave my car in New Jersey. Plus, we picked this cruise just for the convenience. It may no longer be convenient and then I am not on a preferred ship and have to drive further. I am not going to call RCL about it though. My cruise is a ways off. I will wait and see. It is all GOOD. I love RCL and I am sad for the people that lost loved ones and sad for America. It is a big deal that the bridge was destroyed. Not a big deal about my vacation.
  2. Would anyone like to take an educated guess as to how long it will be before Vision is back in port at BWI? And, for those that do not want to change embarkation ports, what is RCLs standard protocol for this?
  3. Was there any open skating this week? Is the ice cast new on board?
  4. I have some questions. We will be on in a month. We have sailed her sister ships, but not Wonder. 1. Which decks have the secret public balconies to watch the Aqua show or just have a great view? 2. When I looked last week, they did not have any open skating on the schedule. Are they training a new ice cast, or have they decided not to do open skating anymore? Thanks!
  5. OK. I found it. 🙂 I didn't hit enough buttons. Ha
  6. Need some help. I can't find the link. I used to know where it was, but can't seem to find it. The app keeps trying to sell me a new cruise. Help please.
  7. I think it depends on the ship and if they actually print all the photos. I know the newer ships use facial recognition and you go to the photo gallery and pick a picture that they print later. On the older ships, ALL the pictures are printed. You go find it on the wall and then take them to the checkout. Everything about Royal is random. It is so nice that you want to give them a picture. No harm in trying. Good luck.
  8. Gosh, they are there, right next to the taco bar. In the same venue. I think there is also a vegetarian sandwich and a Cuban, but don't quote me on that. There are a few options. I always just go for the Rib-eye. It has peppers and onions on it. Oh, and cheese. Kinda like a Philly cheesesteak. Sliced meat. They had them in Jan, Mar and April. I go again in 2 weeks. I sure hope they have them. I have been on a diet and it is going to be my splurge item!!!!!
  9. Buffet also has ribeye sandwiches. They are delicious! And the tacos are actually a taco bar with chicken or steak.
  10. The Diamond lounge is very quickly overwhelmed with people and not the best views. I would definitely go to the Suite lounge.
  11. The snack shacks have fruit available. Also funnel cakes. I know you can get chocolate or caramel sauce on them. The chicken sandwich at the snack shack is OK, but if you are headed to the buffet anyway....save room for the ribeye sandwich! And, of course the taco bar with grilled chicken and steak. And, brownies and ice cream. All included or "FREE". We are going to be there again in 3 weeks. I am already on my diet, just so I can get that ribeye sandwich! Yum Yum!!!!
  12. I would not count on it. We were on the same ship in March and April. March trip they sent an e-mail and processed the request. April, no response to e-mail and request not fulfilled. And, to add insult to injury, while I was on the ship in March, I talked to the maître d' and they supposedly noted it and promised me it would be taken care of. I just don't trust them anymore and always go to the dining room and check my table as soon as we board.
  13. I had the enchilada and it was fine and not spicy at all. It NEEDED something though as it was quite dry. This was my second time ordering it so I ordered some 'salsa' and a LOT of sour cream. I ended up receiving a small container of the red sauce that they use to make the enchilada and a small container of sour cream. Next time I will order it again, but also improvise again. 4sure order 2 extra containers of sour cream. I am not a wasteful person, but they have gotten so stingy, you have to work around the issues that they force upon us. I dont understand if they are going to have "Mexican night" why can't they have a more complete menu? Like chips and salsa or some queso??? I know they have salsa in the windjammer. Also, it did come with rice and beans, which were good. The beans were hidden beside/under the enchilada, but they were tasty.
  14. Thanks for the help. My DH liked our guy and got the perfect drink from him. That is why I didn't want to change guys. Plus, once they start to know you in the lounge, you usually keep the guy you started with. I had asked a similar question, which I didn't get a very good response too. I was really wanting the OLD recipe for the rum punch. Then I could tell him how to make it. It appears that isn't going to happen. I will work on him this week when we get back on. He was very agreeable to changing the drinks; he just didn't have a lot of knowledge on what to add to get it more like the old drink as he was not here then.
  15. When we use our vouchers, are the waiters supposed to make the drink the same way that it is on the menu. Or, do they just quickly shake and pour to get it over with? Specifically, I have been drinking the rum punch. Not a fan of the new recipe; however, it says it has a "float of Kraken Black Spiced rum". It is obvious that the drinks that I am receiving do not have this. So, if I am in the lounge with my same waiter, should I say something to him? I don't want to be looked upon as a problem, but I would like to have a nice drink. I have found the consistencies of the drinks have not been great between bars. I know on my last cruise, the guy was new to bartending and I didn't want to stress him out. However, 3 weeks later, I am going back on the same ship and will probably have him be my main drink guy. How do I go about getting something better, or at least getting what is on the menu?? And, yes, we tip.
