I once made beef stew with cow heart. My wife loved it. Then she found out it was cow heart and said don't ever make it again.

None of the big name lines have said anything, which is a surprise

There's always the dry erase magnet boards

They were Grateful Dead fans so named it after one of their albums

True, but not when there's a "free" three course dinner option already available.

I don't believe RC has restarted these. Likely more due to staffing issues than covid concerns.

IT's a good default beer me (I grew up in PA). I'd never seek it out at a bar, but if someone handed me one, I'd enjoy it. It would be a good cruise ship beer since it'd appeal to the masses but isn't a crappy light beer

The highest level of suite categories on Oasis/Quantum ships

4-7 days.

Some OV are bigger than others.

Canceled by the new Bahamas gov't since they didn't like the inherited contract. RC is still pursuing it though.

I would imagine that's an error since the preceding screen shows $5500 for 2 adults/2 kids

Location/speed/sunrise/sunset/current temp/distance traveled. No real weather forecast. Cruise compass gives a generic forecast for the day and the captain tends to give a weather forecast, too. But it's Alaska so you never know

Oh I have no problem finding a good pour. I just stick to the straight stuff instead. I'll have one mixed drink when I first board, then one or two throughout the week at the end of the night. Actually on Adventure last summer I had a Rock n Rye when I boarded (haven't seen that on a drink menu since). Quite good. Then ordered it again at another bar and realized only one bartender made it right.

No but if I was on that cruise I'd submit a royal up for it since no one in their right mind would pay that much for an outright booking

These are largely party cruises. I can't imagine many dress up

It's tough to find a drink that tastes like it has any alcohol in it.

Fosters

Most bad reviews of older smaller ships are just people complaining that it's not a brand new gigantic ship.

Terrapin Brewery makes some good beers, you're in luck

Log into your account and go to Royal Gifts. They sell a fleece for $25 that'll be in your stateroom when you board. It's a legit fleece, too, not some cheap thing.

Seconded. Shorts in the MDR are no big deal anymore

I've never heard of someone booking at nextcruise and not getting their OBC, unless the reservation was massively changed at some point.

Are you sure you're actually talking about NextCruise? Or are you omitting part of the story?

We have different versions of what "inexpensive" is then.
