I think the food choices and quality vary ship by ship. For example, in October we cruised a 27 day B2B on Odyssey and the food choices and quality in the WJ were far better than we had in a long time. I would rate it an 8+ We also just did a B2B on Radiance and it was terrible. Both the choices and quality were subpar. They pretty much served the same stuff every day, except for dinner because they mimics the MDR mostly. Cheap mystery food swimming in red sauce every day, multiple choices of that, burgers, hot dogs, pizza, fries, mashed potatoes. I didn’t starve, but for what we paid for the NYE cruise, I won’t cruise Radiance again and it was always one of our favorites. And yes I did voice this to the WJ manager in a nice way when he saw me wandering around with an empty plate every day and came over to me. My rate for it is 2.

it’s so cool (literally lol) to see the huge chunks of ice. When we did the Arctic Crossing in 2022 and did a day cruise on Prins Christin Sund, the crew was all outside with us the whole time. I was so happy to see them enjoying it as much as us. I’m trying to attach 2 pics. Not sure if this works.. one night during dinner the captain announced for us to go out and see the train of icebergs, and the sun was setting at the same time. Sorry, I can’t get the iceberg one to post… IMG_5258.heic

Chops On Board Pricing
lovesthebeach2 replied to ryanbarckley's topic in Royal Caribbean International
this is what it says in our cruise Planner for our upcoming cruise on Wonder EDIT to add I would use the onboard BOGO -
I can’t take patches either, they made me blurry and closed my throat and I couldn’t swallow, so I tried Bonine if I felt the seas were rocky, but it made me too tired. So I stopped everything and oddly the seas don’t bother either of us and even though Bob gets motion sick on amusement park rides, he’s ok on a ship. But I always carry Ginger essential oil and if I feel queasy at all, even if it’s from too much food, I dab it behind my ears and on my wrists. It doesn’t smell at all like the ginger we’re used to, but it does help a lot.

WJ open past 9pm - Would this be a draw for you?
lovesthebeach2 replied to Toddcan's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thats absolutely true. We all have an idea of things we want….and if a couple of ships are close in all the likes, but one ship has that extra thing, like late night snacks, then that will be the one they pick. -

Oddly I don’t remember that…..but our first cruise after shutdown was in a GS on Allure, so we ate in CK every meal for that cruise. We used to always eat in the MDR for the out to dinner feeling, but lately we’ve been eating dinner more and more in the WJ. -

Theres so many different reasons (too many to list) for the choices anyone makes for which line and ship….. -

Hard for me to believe people would choose another cruise line specifically because their buffet is open later, but I suppose some may do that, I don’t plan our cruise vacations based upon the buffet being open after 9. I love the ocean and visiting other countries in a floating hotel. Goes to show everyone is different and that’s perfectly fine. -
We don’t even use pizza sauce anymore, we actually prefer just using a 14.5oz can of Cento crushed tomatoes that I buy online from Cento, they’re just the right consistency and very sweet and not acidic. Then we put our toppings on and lastly I sprinkle a seasoning on top that I got in Florence that I can’t get here and that adds just the right flavor.…..now I’m hungry again 😁

We’ve always been able to use the BOGO for lunch and not just on day 1 or 2, but that may depend on the way each ship handles BOGOs.

Coffee Vouchers/Early Morning Coffee
lovesthebeach2 replied to Edward51's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I think the OP was looking for a place for their son and DIL to get early coffee since they’re not Elite or Diamond. I agree, the coffees in the CL are a great perk! -

We’ve gone up a few times just before 9 to get water or a cookie and there’s hardly anyone in there and so much food is wasted. They have to throw out everything that’s leftover. Over time it probably costs them more than it’s worth, plus they would need extra staff there. Theres usually always a place to get water, and pizza or other snacks. We sometimes bring cookies or breadsticks to our cabin for late night snacks, so for us, we don’t need it open late. -
We just got off Radiance NYE cruise. Believe me the crew partied that night, and the word on the street was that some had a really really good time.😁 I’m happy they can have some fun! We told our room attendant that we don’t use all our vouchers (to be honest just me, I can’t drink 5 drinks) and would he like something and he said beer. So we got cans of Fosters which is almost 2 cans worth of beer and left them in the cabin when we went to dinner and he took them when he serviced our room. There was no issue and even the bartender at Schooner knew and smiled when I got the beers.
