@LACruiser88 is the expression...Great minds drink alike? Enjoy every sip and gulp. Love your reports. Thank you for sharing so much info. Is Darko the concierge with you?

@LACruiser88 Me too. I tried Silver Palm last night, not having another glass.... Happy to know my palate matches yours. I'm doing my best to keep up. I like Silverado too! On Ruby 😉 Super Tuscan lunch April 24th. Cheers!

@cr8tiv1 I love maui (greasy) chips. Since I don't have enough food to eat already here on Ruby!

@cr8tiv1 mucho mahalo

In Kahului on Saturday with memoak. Where should look for the Maui chips? Please, and mahalo! I'm thinking of riding a public bus to go to the Marine Centre from Kahului. Is it encouraged or frowned upon for tourists to ride the buses? So economical!

@Wabashmom Was forward on Marina deck, on Regal, with hot tubs directly above. Certain times of day I would hear lounge chairs being moved around...did not affect my sleep...However, I do prefer to have my cabin below other cabins. Cabin location was assigned to me after a "successful" bid!

@laynp Enjoy the lounge! The location is considered mid-aft, as noted, on deck 14. Entry can be from port or starboard side (on the Majestic, it was!). ONLY for suite guests. NOT mini-suites.

@Ancon Travelling solo, you are charged for a single crew appreciation. Add whatever you wish - can easily give cash to your steward as you go along. For 32 days, you are feeling that the steward is "shortchanged" by the solo traveller? As with all things related to gratuities, do what works for you!

@cruisedoctor I like your description of Claudio, the Energizer Bunny. Your comments show me that you "know" him like I do! Glad to hear that he is there. I am sure that being on the Sun during these early days, however exciting it may all be, is challenging for everyone - especially staff! in restaurant ops all around the ship.

@CanadianBurger Question about the DORO - Claudio Giuliani. When I met him on the Royal Princess in 2022 (sailed twice with him that year), he was everywhere, all the time, all at once. I had a few issues that he assisted me with in the most professional manner. All of the restaurants on that ship at that time benefited greatly from his style of leadership. I notice that his name was on the roster for your ship and wonder if you have seen him around - doing more of the same. TIA for your observations on this one.

@2011mom In February this year, on Regal, I heard the staff person at the Internet cafe tell a passenger that it was $30 per day. Single days can be easily purchased on the ship as far as I could tell.

@Jeter02 You have inspired me to go to Norway this summer! Happy to see that you are still out there. I am reading and re-vsiting your reports to get prepared. I'm very excited! Different ship though. Thanks so much for all the information.

@beshears I found this team of senior officers, including Captain Gavin and Captain Dalton to be very friendly and willing to spend time with passengers. I agree with you, it was totally refreshing! I was hoping that the officer board that I shared, helped you to know their names. This team even allowed passengers to get individual photos with the group at the Captain Circle party. Great time was had by all at these parties. The captain was very entertaining.

I agree with rangerusa. Inside temp is fine - dining room, public areas, piazza, all good. No drafts, not too warm. Enjoy!

@CanadianBurger Thanks for so much information with photos! I saw that you posted a pick from the buffet with the sign- The Catch by Rudi. Are they serving selections there that are the same as in The Catch the restaurant? Is The Catch restaurant on your ship as well? TIA
