Ohhhhh boy....you said "foodie". π That seems to be a trigger word for some here.π«’ I will say it again and you are correct. Food is VERY subjective. Some will like it while some will think it was below their expectations. It's like cilantro...some love it while others describe the taste as eating a bar of soap. We are all different. Not sure why a food discussion gets so intense but for some reason, it seems to. If I can't find a "good" meal on Wonder next month, that's on me.

Choosing check in time on app.

Quick update...check in opened up on my phone at 12:04. I was able to get the 10:30 check in time and I went ahead and finished the rest of the process, except of course the health questionnaire. I believe that gets completed the day before boarding. Whole thing took less than 10 minutes for my wife and myself. VERY simple...now I know what I didn't know! ππ₯ As a side note, my wife belongs to a facebook group for our cruise and some were saying the earliest check in time they could get was 12. They were using the app at 12:15 so those early slots go fast! -

TY Mike! I though you said you were on this one as well. So great point on the rest of the party. I was going to check both my wife and me on my app rather than her trying to check in separately on her phone. Sounds like that is the way to go. Not that she would but could she have checked in separately from her phone? -
OK, pardon the newbie question but my check in opens tonight at midnight and my OCD is kicking in. I watched several videos on this and it looks to be very simple and straightforward. I want to select the earliest time possible and then go to bed and finish up in the morning. Once I choose my time and hit submit, is that it? Nothing else to save at that point? I have nightmares about staying up late, grabbing the time I wanted and then waking up to see it's not saved because I missed a step. π I haven't cruised since 2018 so I might just be a little excited about this trip! πΈ

OK, so you just grab a few cookies from the WJ, drop them in the bag and keep them in your cabin? That is a PRO TIP and TY! When my wife and I cruised Celebrity, we did the concierge class room. Didn't really get you much of anything however they did bring a tray of different snacks each day around 5. The canapΓ©s were not our cup of tea so we just asked them to bring a small charcutier plate. One of our favorite things to do was to go the cabin at 5, have a couple of glasses of wine and nosh sitting on the balcony watching the ocean. Going to bring an extra baggie or two for cheese and meats in March. π₯π

I'm on Wonder in March. I cruised Celebrity twice before Covid - 2017 and 2018. Top notch in every aspect. Specialty restaurants were fantastic and the MDR was very good as well. It will be interesting for me to gauge food on Wonder but quite frankly, my bar isn't set very high with the MDR to start. We did the 3 night dining package, will eat at CK one night and playmakers one night. That leaves 2 nights for MDR, maybe one depending on what we do the first night. Back to why my bar for MDR isn't set high. I work for a large corporation that has a couple of company events per year. Trying to feed 5000 to 7000 people at once is ridiculously difficult. We always referred to it as our "rubber chicken dinner" so I avoid it if I can. Even spreading it out over 3 or 4 hours, good luck. A couple of other things to note. "Foodie" is a thing. If you don't know what it is, it's someone who is used to fine dining experiences and or cooking fine food themselves. It really makes you appreciate when you have a fine dining experience. Also, while I agree that crappy food is crappy food, it is also very subjective as previously mentioned. I have friends in NYC that absolutely laugh at the pizza I like where I live. Does that make my pizza suck? It doesn't to me. To them? Yes, it sucks. Tomato, tomahhto... At any rate, I look forward to reporting all of my dining experiences post cruise in March.

First of all...MERRY CHRSTMAS TO EVERYONE! Yes, I meant to shout that. π My wife and I have not cruised since 2018 and we are super excited about our upcoming trip on the Wonder. We are staying 5 minutes from the port, planning on boarding as soon as they open it up. I admit...it's the kid still in me.
