Utopia will have it. And I agree it was one of the best meals I've ever had on a ship.

We kinda wound up doing that on Allure in October but not on purpose. We were switched from early to MTD (multiple MDR managers blamed "the computer" which is certainly possible; it wasn't just us). So we were told to just show up at 5-5:15 every night and we'd be seated quickly, just not at the same table. They handled it well, we never waited more than 5-10 mins, and we didn't care about having different tables/servers as long as we always had a 2-top, which we did. So we basically had MTD at 5:00 but it was because they were correcting a mistake. Whether or not they would do it just b/c you request it I'm guessing would vary by ship/sailing (like so many things).

I probably posted this already but I'm too lazy to scroll through it all. Couldn't agree more about Mason Jar brunch and the stuffed french toast (and the johnny cakes, chicken n waffles, etc.) Like you, our extended family of 8 tried most of the menu last June. Now that it will just be me and my wife, I have to figure out a plan for still ordering a good chunk of the menu. I think most of that cinnamon roll is likely coming back to our cabin. The blackberry moonshine lemonade was a great brunch drink as well.

There is no set date but entertainment reservations usually open early in the month before your cruise month... so early November in your case. You can use the app or the website. I prefer the website for booking entertainment.

Looked fine to me in October on her 1st cruise out of PC.

Don't thank me until they actually bring good deals back. 🤣

Hearing? The cruises were released last night. Wonder is indeed moving.

It is not currently available on Wonder. I know the article says it was tested on Wonder but it is not an option for any of my 3 Wonder cruises that sail between March and July of this year. I even asked my TA about it in the past 2 hours and he had never heard of it.

I was just posting the thread since it was old news. I didn't actually contribute to that thread.

New bookings (May 2025-April 2026) are currently scheduled to be released this week (likely tonight) so keep an eye out. You'll also likely see plenty of posts when they're released. EDIT: Just noticed you're in Scotland... so change tonight to possibly more like the middle of the night or early AM for you.

As mentioned above, they usually open early in the month before your cruise month. So your March half opened in early February. Your April half will likely open in early March.

Totally get that. We rarely do specialty anything and we've only done specialty lunch once ever b/c we wanted to try Mason Jar brunch on Wonder (I didn't even book it, my SIL did for our family cruise, but glad she did). We loved it so much that it's now a must-have for us once per Wonder cruise but otherwise we never have set lunch plans. I snack off and on all day anyway.

There's just all types of varying strange dining issues on Wonder that seem to come and go. I don't check constantly since I'm not actually looking to book anything but when I do I notice stuff like that. Giovanni's lunch (only dinner) was not listed for my March cruise for months. I did see it yesterday though. No idea what the deal is. That's one I would have actually considered booking at 40% off during Black Friday but no biggie. We may try it for dinner with our first BOGO after this next cruise. Pasta, pizza, etc. with how I eat would be a very heavy lunch anyway.

Agreed. But I understand why the OP is asking since they've never been on RC before and Vision is one of the smaller, older ships.

No, these lounges don't have entertainment on any ship. They are just there for drinks, snacks, and obviously lounging.

I don't even belong in this thread since I'm not a show guy and haven't seen a single Broadway show on any ship ever, lol. Just figured I'd jump in and say the ice show on Wonder is our new favorite (ice show). Great addition of some special effects to go with the skating and music.

Or you could just enjoy CocoCay for free. We love it there and don't spend a penny except to tip on our Diamond (free loyalty) drinks.

No. Only high winds or lightning would keep you off the island. Rain is just rain. Also, I wouldn't trust the forecast even the night before you arrive. I've seen 80% chance of rain the night before we stopped there and then it didn't rain at all until 2pm. It's also common for a brief shower to pop up then go away.

Yes, you each get one 24-hour period of internet. The clock starts once you activate it.

I've been helping a Crew supporter??? 😠 🤣 You were the team most OC supporters saw as our biggest obstacle once we got into the playoffs. Scary offense. It's a shame we couldn't finish that match and our CB ruined it by getting sent off but good match. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if we are both near the top of the table again this season. That May 25th match is actually here in Orlando. Remember soccer is opposite US sports in that the home team is on the top not the bottom when listed in schedules like that. If you could swing going to the match before the cruise that would be pretty cool. We have a very nice stadium and our fans are passionate but mostly not hostile (except towards Miami and maybe Atlanta supporters).

Midnight in the time zone of where the ship leaves.

In my recent experience, they haven't been dropping prices. Others have suggested that they'd rather sell 5 at $3000 than 10 at $1500 (just using round numbers to illustrate obviously) and so leaving some empty doesn't concern them. Another potential issue is if they dropped the the price, everyone who had already booked at the higher price could cancel and re-book if they were willing to risk it.

Ugh, sorry to hear. I obviously didn't actually try to book anything.
