We had 2 excellent meals @ Raw on 5 on our last cruise on the Ascent. was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the seafood, especially the raw oysters. Being from the northeast, and a frequent harvester of shellfish I am very picky. My vote between Fine cut and roof top.....Roof top wins every time Cheers

I couldn't agree more!! The dry aged ribeye was horrible (tough, tasteless). The service however was pretty good. I had to inform them that I feed my dog better food Cheers

If you go to the casino cage you WILL get charged (in most cases) for an advance on your credit card, and it will get posted as a cash advance(higher interest/fees). If you do a room charge there will not be a fee and it posts to your account as entertainment, so no cash advance fees as well.

We will be on that same cruise Cheers!

We have always received the points, paying to upgrade from Veranda to Aq. Multiple times Cheers

You can't have glass containers in the pool or hot tub, although many do. You Can have glass containerson the pool deck, ie bottle of beer or premium water. They push carts loaded with them....on the pool deck Cheers

No note required call again

I totally agree!!!

Our recent trip on the beautiful Ascent was a bit different. This was our first trip on E class.....a one and done for us....the IV"balcony" or lack there of is a deal beaker for us. Buffet we found to be quite good, lot's of choices. You are spot on about the desserts! Terrible, tasteless, although pleasing to the eye. Fine cut was a bust. Worst steak ever on a cruise ship( dry aged ribeye for an additional $60 upcharge). I feed my dog better! Had great meals in the roof top and Raw on Five. Tuscan was pretty decent with food, service was excellent by any standards. But that was our experience/opinion Cheers.

You may have to buy at least the zero package for your wife. That is what we had to do, as she is a diabetic and can not drink alcohol. Myself,I get the premium Pkg as my palate can barely tolerate the classic offerings cheers

Thanks for sharing, but my 53% discount will be hard to beat, for our upcoming 10 day cruise this October! It pays to check often cheers

Too short for myself. I hate doing a 7 day trip! LOL Cheers

I think they should let the room steward aware when Grats are prematurely removed, so as not to waste extra time on said customers. Example: where's my luggage? when will it arrive? Answer: I don't know, don't have time to look for it....good luck Question: how come half the mini bar is empty? Answer: You must've been thirsty...good luck Whens my laundry coming back? What laundry??? Give me a break No tolerance for cheapskates Cheers

Exactly. On the Ascent , in Tuscan, we did the same thing, and we were put down for the first apt time. There would be a fairly long line before they opened for dinner, but as soon as they did, we were directed around the line and asked to go to our previously assigned table. Worked great for us as we are early eaters. Most people were unaware of the 2 line system ( reservations and those without) and seemed upset that some were allowed to "jump" the line. Cheers

Unless they are factoring in the up charge for dry aged ribeye. It was a one and done for me. I feed my dog better! But my experience was on the Ascent earlier this year cheers
