My oct 2024 harmony dining is open, but may 2024, 5 months earlier is not open. Here is oct 2024 harmony 8 day . Opened a week or so ago. .

Bella2 was moved to 1st week in feb. Originally someone picked about the 3rd week in January. If the solarium might be closed for breakfast/lunch. Then I agreed it was better to move it than take the chance. I eat in the solarium quite a bit to avoid crowds early in the morning. Wonder of the seas. I had just booked the January date with next cruise, but my ta moved it. I booked refundable and had the booking sent to him .. didnt hurt me .. but we changed because of the solarium possibly being closed. Or so I was told. We had over 2k kids on Bella1 ...wonder bella2 cant be much worse?

Judging from bella1 its hit or miss. They thought it was all set up, but wasnt when they boarded and from what I was told they confirmed before boarding. You can make a request and if you dont get it, go to the dining folks and request a cha ge. I've had bad luck on oasis class and I'm only 1. I think my ta requested a shared table. First week I was sat with a family of 5 adults who make it known they hated sharing a table. Rudest folks in 20 years. I was on a b2b and asked them for the following week if there was a table not one family with linking cabins. This was a disaster. Oh we got you. A nice table, not a family next leg. We fixed you right up. The following week I again was sat with one family travelling together, a family of 10, I was the 11th, a ten top with 10 chairs. They never got around to giving me a permanent table, each time they found a empty 2 top. This was last dec allure So next cruise is bella1, on oasis. I thought fixed, but i had anytime, got it changed, here is your new table, a new 2 top. Next time I came in I sat down and waiters and the a couple were yelling and all excited. Not your table. Here is my card, says this table. Male of the couple claims he is sure I never sat there before. I said I did and remember you guys sitting waiting for a table. Waiter finally says the couple needed wheelchair access so they reassigned me. I had one cruise since on radiance, very nice table ... finally. Good food and service. 1 out of 4. Rcl bigger ships dont seem to care if you are happy imo. They fell far short with me. You can ask, they will lie and say it's taken care of. Dont tell me they couldnt tell a family of 10, linked cabins was all together they added me to. If I hadnt asked the week previous and been told it was not another family fine, but quit lying. Buffet is my go to place.

That was what I was thinking when Galveston confiscated my $3 ordinary scissors. If I wanted to hurt someone I'm taking a steak knife from the Mdr, not trying to poke them with my scissors.

Most diamond lounges have a regular lounge outside of the lounge where parents have sat with their kids. They go in and get coffee or snacks and being it out to the bar area outside the lounge and share the food or coffee. The diamond ambassador does know and checks first time someone visits. No need to try and sneak someone in. Other than sitting closer to a diamond or up, nothing else lost lol.

Quite a exaggeration.. I mentioned it, not worked up over it in the least. I said I found it odd to sit in the dining room with a guy wearing a cowboy hat, though I admired it. It was a really nice one. I guess the useless cloth around ones neck is a tie. .. not my thing. I dont care a bit.

Not a polka party. Maybe 2 step line dance. .. polka is not Texan lol.

Giovanni menu seemed the same lunch and dinner to me.

I'm booked for one of the 8 day harmony in 2024. Once a month for 6 months harmony will do 8/6 then 7/7. Perfect day to coco cay. I had to laugh at sue about the cowboy boots. 10 years instead of ball caps men still wore cowboy hats in the dining room. I'm old enough I still have ingrained in me take off your hat to eat. Sorry I missed a lot. Drove to ohio this week and had some time this morning to catch up a little. Sue I hope you go home with cash in your pocket and another free cruise.

Maybe it's the double pts promo, more diamonds. Just more crowded lounges. We had a lot of pinnacles in our lounge on allure, better view. Often hard to find a seat during happy hour un,ess I went early. The diamond guy was going around asking people to share tables. I traveled with a diamond in the same cabin and abided by the rules, and now that there are even more diamonds and up, I'm for enforcing the rules so the rest of us can sit. Where would you stop, what is a friend, in your cabin, connecting cabins. What would be the def of a friend of the rules bent.

In ohio. Bird feeders everywhere. I've seen quite a few tiny hummingbirds but hard to get a picture without scaring them away. 6 bird feeders and they belong to a nature preserve.

I made it to kentucky. I thought this area was cute 5 years ago, not so much now. I'm jaded I think. 3 days up and 3 back, hotels booked. I could have made it in 2 each way, but I'm booked. I'm near mammoth caves in the middle of no where, Horse Cave city. The only place now to eat is the Loves truck stop, or drive 8 miles to the next exit. Pet a kangaroo is still here, down under kentucky, longest swinging bridge, hidden river tour even harder than mammoth caves tours. Stupid me booked here on the way back. Not as enamored as i was 5 years ago. There was a real restaurant then in town. Yes horse cave city town lol. Coming into memphis where i spent a night there apparently was a truck accident. A lady here at breakfast says she sat for a hour. After 30 minutes i exited and did my best to drive around it and saw scenic west Memphis. I've seen trees and trees and trees. So many trees. Trees and hills. Tried to take a picture out the front of the hotel but doesnt really help. Seems gambling is legal at this hotel. Even has a atm machine. If i hadnt already booked coming home I wouldn't again. A bit over 3 hours to my cousins house map says in cinn.

I was told at grand Cayman rcl doesn't prioritize tender tickets. I booked thru rcl and walked the length of the ship 3 times following disorganized crew instructions ... and I bought my excursion thru rcl. Wasnt happy.

I liked it, but was pre covid. At the time it didnt go from texas so I had to fly. I enjoyed the ncl food att.

I booked refundable. Obc is just less but it's possible. First time since covid but i was on Bella and ta hand holding. $76 obc for couples, $75 solo, for 7 day. Yes, $1 less for solo. Lol. Or maybe it was because I had DP340. $1 whole dollar less obc. Booked refundable for TA named. And he moved to group rate refundable Cant book nonrefundable and then move to group and get refundable saved way more than the $25 more obc I'd have gotten nonrefundable direct. Also pay full deposit I think. But $75 more obc to spend is better than nothing. Bella2.

You could buy a lot of drinks and pay restaurants for $2,550 ? .. is that for the whole 9 legs, or how long you are booked. .. I could buy a lot for that obc.

I think for dress up nights long pants look better, however I've seen shorts on men on dress up night.

Check in is at 45 days out, midnight showtime. Earliest time does fill up. Drink pkg is outrageous as is unlimited dining lately. I'm waiting for black friday sales. Pricing is much more dynamic than carnival which is fairly set in stone. Drink package is good on their private islands unlike carnival. Not sure your itinerary. Not limited to 15 drinks. I'd say it's around $80 a day. I'm ot a big enough drinker its worth it. Rcl gives free drink vouchers once you hit 80 points, diamond and TAs have group pricing I dont see on carnival for refundable deposits. There are some differences but just go and enjoy. Dont concentrate on the little stuff.

I'm thinking they know the UDP is getting so high and dont care if fewer buy it, because more and more are treating themselves to individual pay restaurants as the service and choices slip elsewhere. I do think more and more are buying selected restaurants. Demand is there and they max out spending and capacity at the restaurants.

Look in your planner. It's the 6th day for lunch. There is a sample menu you can download when you click on it. I'm signed up for it dec 3rd harmony week. I don't think I kept the menu but looks good. I'm good with the garlic shrimp and fillet entree. It was 28.99 a month or so ago. Now its showing in my planner 39.99 discounted to 34.99 plus tips of 18%. In your planner click on dining.

So maybe you will like this enough to go out if texas again? I love texas friendliness, dont love the summer heat. I'm hoping you love it.

I use the cream too, that's why I asked sue to find out. I just use it in the WJ but I want it. .. or half n half. I never knew what it was, but I use it. Otherwise I can go get a coffee in the cafe with a voucher but I'd like to know.

Lunches were hovering at 34.99 with 15% off. Now the same ones are hovering at 39.99 with only 10% off. Maybe not much to you but up $7 in a month or so. I personally like lunches. Izumi with UDP sushi cut from 8 pieces to 4. I'd bet more than you think do eat lunch with UDP.

That's actually not bad, compared to my 7 days which would be around $650 plus tips for 2 weeks.

Hi, there is a thread that rcl is no longer providing cream for coffee, just milk. Could you look around and see if both are still offered. I cant believe they would cut such a item.
