There is a seafood buffet night isn't it?

No.

There’s lots to do at night. Seafood is lousy.

Did the cruise start or end on Saturday? Did they see scantily clad women? Did they hear women singing?

Matisyahu is no longer religious. If you are THAT frum it’s nearly impossible to go on a cruise.

Would love your feedback on whether to purchase wi-fi while on board. On one side, I would love our family to unplug. Plus, it seems to be expensive. On the other side, it would be a great way for us all to communicate while separated on board, and we can keep on top of the news, enjoy surfing, reading, etc.

 

 

 

Would love your thoughts!

Unplug. It’s the best. And it makes you realize how much time you waste in the rest of your life online.

Please understand that these meals are for dinner only. For breakfast and lunch we brought our relatives to the Lido deck. There they chose from cereal, fruit, salad, etc. However, now you have the standard dishes and silverware unless you're planning on bring paper plates and plastic utensils.

They ate from the salad bar? God forbid. Then your relatives aren’t really kosher.

I saw chocolate Easter Eggs in the Kosher section today at the store and couldn't help but laugh at the irony but it got me thinking, aren't most vegetarian dishes usually Kosher? Seems to me they could just keep the utensils for vegetarian dishes separate and that would be reasonably satisfactory and provide some fresher options for those who follow Kosher and Halal restrictions.

Think of kashrut as Jewish OCD. You need at least 4 sets of plates and silverware etc and if you mess up the plate you need to either submerge it in the mikvah (ritual bath) or bury it.

I remember years ago we went on a cruise during yom kippur. We are reformed, and do not usually eat Kosher. However, my saba wanted to eat Kosher one night. I don't think he made any plans ahead... but they did accommodate him. It was basically a TV dinner and did not seem appetizing. Unless you are very religious I'd say skip it.

Reform, not reformed.

At the end of the day it’s not very polite to sit at a table wearing a hat! Unless of course you a lady at a wedding for example!

Wow, I hope this forum, in general, does not degenerate the way this thread has. A simple question ending up at racism, fascism etc. Honestly !!

I get it. Seeing MAGA gear makes me feel very uncomfortable and unsafe.

Let’s get real. There’s no free lobster. There’s lobster tails with meat you have to examine with a microscope.

Why do you need a menu? It’s inedible.

Is that right.. want to have a good time.. first time going on a mega ship

Unfortunately yes. Our experience was that there was lots of wear and tear, service in the MDR was bad, and getting a high chair for our LO was often a Herculean effort.

We had to use the Dr on board the Disney Dream as our baby got sick. Felt like we got really great care. Had to pay $328 but since it was billed as emergency expenses, I submitted it to my insurance (united healthcare) upon our return and surprisingly got reimbursed for the entire amount.

Hi,

 

We are sailing on RCCL again for the first time in about 10 years. I was wondering what things have changed since last we sailed. Can anyone think of anything? We are sailing on Grandeur in March (12 day). Some things I was wondering about are what types of activities on sea days (free ones). I understand that they charge for some now? Any food events that are different?

 

 

 

Anything else that has changed?

 

 

 

Thanks!

The overall quality of the cruise has declined significantly. The service is much worse, the food is worse, the prices have increased, the incessant nickel and dining has increased.

Have you considered a fully kosher cruise?
