Ya mean "First Breakfast" LOL In the shire we call it: second breakfast, or elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper

Nobody can take a joke these days 😠

On Odyssey, both lounges espresso machines were substandard and the Diamond concierge said they'd been trying to fix for weeks. All the crew can do is clean them, which they did every morning. They don't have the expertise to fix the problem. The problem was it wasn't heating the milk at all, so cold milk in your espresso for Cappuccino wasn't acceptable. I also suspect the temp was too cold to brew the coffee correctly. Suite lounge the same. They just needed the vender expert on the machine to come in and that takes time apparently. Don't think vouchers has anything to do with it. That was in December Ocean Boy so you're saying nothing improved for at least 3 months! WOW Todd just told me she did give us a voucher for Promenade espresso, didn't realize it. Seriously considering bringing my Aeropress (Amazon-5 stars) next cruise and some espresso preground...BUT still need to go run down some really hot water!

I know they have 1/2n1/2 on the ship because they use it too much, along with cream to prepare the dishes in the galley. I will ask for some nicely. They've never failed to bring me what I request yet. When they stopped using shaved parm in the Caesar salad, we asked for it and it was delivered, when they went with some kind of fake butter, again, they brought us the real thing. We ask for our sour dough rolls to be heated and our waiter has done it every cruise in fact, they are usually waiting for us on our table after the first night. And I even ask for powdered sugar for my french toast and I get that on every cruise. I'm betting I can get it...but I'll let you know. Still planning on Starbucks though just for convenience.

Yeeha, ride 'em cowgirl!

I know I know...Pick me! Can't you just see them in the ship brawls on Youtube LOL

😲 BTW you can do a lot of damage with a simple ball point pen. And there ARE knives in MDR...just pointing out there is no need to pack these things...jsh Simply stating the obvious...people need to chill......

My Doc said at your age it's to be expected and gave me the Diuretic. But I can't go far from a restroom 🤣

That wouldn't stop me and I'm 73! First words out of my mouth when I fell and hit my head in Ft. Lauderdale last December was..,..."Oh no, they won't let me on the ship!" But they did, I wore sunshades and nobody noticed the huge hematoma dripping down my face! I didn't even go to emergency. Yeah yeah, I know...foolish. Nothing happened at all on the cruise, except we got a lot of weird looks.Give it time, she may feel great in 30 days. And there are free wheelchairs at all airports and you can order one from Special Needs at RCCL for arrival, rent one to go on ship if needed or just buy her one of those knee wheelers. I'm sure with determination it can be done. You Mom sounds spunky! BTW, I just bought my very own electric wheel chair, if I'd been in it in Florida I wouldn't have tripped.

Not in Texas! Cotton Eyed Joe more like. Welllllll, they do the polka over at Schulenburg. LOL

It's called "Attitude"...makes all the difference. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Maya Angelou

Well, all our favorites are still there, if they taste the same we'll be more than satisfied. I have never been picky about food. I pretty much like anything. Other than being disappointed in the quality of steak, like at Chops, we've been happy. Not going to Chops anymore, we'll get our steak at Giovanni's or Park 150.or pay the $17 for MDR's, that's a bargain.

Dang it all looks pretty good to me!

I need a menu so we can plan our 3night dinner pkg to coincide with the menu. I won't want to do Mexican, (nothing they make compares with San Antonio TexMex anyway) and I don't care for curry so no Indian night, I'll do the rest, but I need to plan. Can anyone help?

I've already budgeted for Starbucks upcoming Allure. Not worried. I do Cappuccinos.

Wow moving right along aren't we! Woohoo

Not since December

I'm not very picky either, but our last cruise on Odyssey was exceptional especially the food, but we haven't cruised on the new menus. We'll have to see if things change or if the new menus area really as bad as others think. Food is not our priority for cruising in general so I'll still be happy but I'd rather enjoy it than not.

That's him. I really like his review

Yep, we bought the special Cactus stuff that is supposed to stop that, but we've never gotten any such rash and never used the stuff. And we've been there many times. Go again in Sept

But what I want to know is how many points end up getting you an invitation to cruise free or how much money do you have to invest before that? I always cash out with almost any win, last time was only $59. So I'm a casino chicken! But we have heard so much about casino cruises we thought it might pay off???? Que'???

Yep, this is the rub. Our daughter same. She's listed Diamond plus with like 30 something points on her own. I think it's cockamamie!

I've seen current reviews, i.e. Quantum to Alaska on Youtube by a great reviewer and he complained about the food both MDR and Windjammer. Lots of unhappy cruisers out there. I have every confidence that RCCL will be forced to capitulate on quality. And in time we'll be back to better menus. After ICON we're back to Celebrity on new Assent...may have to be our go to.

How do you DO that?!!!!!!!!!!!
