I think they call it a chocolate bar. My wife loves them but she just eats the mousse and leaves the cake part, lol.

Someone elsewhere hyped this up A LOT so I had some toasted for me on Indy last month. I'll admit it was very good... for toasted raisin bread at least.

Paella (usually served for day one lunch) Indian food, especially the butter chicken. Most of the cook to order station items, especially mongolian bbq. Crepe station for dessert. Yes, not all WJ's are created equal.

New flyer is up.

That's usually our M.O. On a recent family cruise (most of the extended family isn't big on WJ) they all went to Park Cafe (which I also enjoy). Wife and I went to WJ then met up with them. I think my texting pics and comments about the paella WJ always seems to have on day one and something else influenced my brother-in-law. They cruised alone last week and one of the first texts my SIL sent the family after boarding was "Sitting in WJ, BIL and niece went to find paella." 🤣

Or embark ASAP, eat wherever before it's crowded, then find an uncrowded spot to hang out until your cabin is ready.

There have been some issues reported with it being hard to contact them if you need assistance or have questions. Also, a few people have reported not receiving their appointment e-mails. They seem to get the job done, but there may be the occasional hiccup.

I'd never avoid the WJ (buffet), love the lunch day one paella. That said, I'd recommend Park Cafe.

It was open while I was onboard from 7/15-7/22.

Sounds like you answered your own question. I'd go with 2 cabins based on that statement.

I'm just waiting patiently for my 1st from this past May. Was originally told 3-4 months but pretty much just ignoring it. Figure it will show up someday.

It has been nothing like that since that video. Almost 3 months have passed, Mariner is no longer sharing terminal 1, things change, etc...

I think that was a suggestion to make the dumbasses who don't complete their muster drill and get called out for being late get it done.

I didn't seek out alcohol on the morning of my recent B2B TAD but other things you can use them for that morning are coffee drinks at Cafe Promenade, bottled water, fresh squeezed OJ, etc.

Be warned, RT&T is a Canadian company so your proctor may or may not have a strong Canadian accent, EH!

I had a similar conversation with my wife. I don't understand why the drink stations (outside the food locations like Chill Grill) don't open immediately given how hot it can be even at 8am. That said, the bars open before 11:30 and have ice water and whatever soft drinks they normally have. I know I had my first frozen drink before it was even 10am last month (it's 5:00 somewhere?) and I got some ice water even earlier from Wacky Seagull (I think) by Chill Island while my wife went snorkeling 1st thing. They had a self-serve dispenser sitting on the bar. Also, the drink stations were prepped and opened before the stated time although I can't give you an exact time or promise it's the same everyday. Hope that helps.

Not sure what else to add. From 11-11, on Oasis class ships, you get the drinks I listed for free in the SL. This perk has nothing to do with being Diamond. It's a suite perk. Your suite mates who are not Diamond will get everything you get (as far as drinks) except for the 4 daily vouchers you can use at any time for any drink up to $13 at any bar. They will have the 3-hour nightly open bar and the 11-11 drinks. You all will also have access to the coffee machine in the SL which has cappuccinos, lattes, espresso, etc. Hope that info helps with their decision.

Scroll back in this thread. Asked and answered. I'd eat Cococay food for lunch every day of a cruise if I could!

The other big benefit that's not listed but exists on Oasis class is free beer, wine, hard seltzer, soda, bottled water from 11-11 daily in the SL.

I'll be jealous. If only I had hit the lottery...

Sounds like something I would do and say, except I work from home, so I'm mostly just on the couch being hungry. No Cococay for me for a while unless my wife changes her tune about talking some time off work in SEP or OCT. Wanted to go back on Indy with one of the GGG prices next month but she's being difficult. 😠 We'd be on Cococay on my birthday too!

Brownie sundae. 👍 I missed another, although this came from someone else so I can’t vouch for it… Take the pork from the taco bar & put it on a burger bun, then add bbq sauce from the condiment area for a pseudo pulled pork sandwich. (Could also put the pork on top of a burger.)

Glad it worked out. Their customer support coupled with a couple other factors is what made me spend the extra $5 to use them over OnPoint, and I'm as frugal as it gets.

Chill Grill or Skipper's Grill (same menu at both) Taco bar (chicken, steak, or pork) with freshly made flour tortillas (preferred the chicken and steak) Cuban sandwich (not completely authentic but pretty good) Chocolate chip cookies (take 2 of them to the ice cream machine and ask the attendant to put vanilla soft serve on one and make an ice cream sandwich) Snack Shacks (all 3 have the same menu) Fried chicken sandwich with everything on it Fried chicken sandwich plain, then order mozz sicks with marinara and put the sticks/sauce on top of the chicken for a chicken parm sandwich FUNNEL CAKES, FUNNEL CAKES, FUNNEL CAKES!

Yep, we used iHealth kits with RT&T in July that expired a month prior based on the box date, no issues whatsoever. Not sure how you messaged them but their live chat answered my questions very quickly.
