We liked samba and chops best each time we've been on an oasis class ship we like to go to them. Chops is great if you are a steak person. Samba's has all minds of meats and they carve them at your table I would just suggest skipping lunch so you are very hungry for dinner because you get a lot of food. Enjoy your trip and specialty dining

Thank You:)

Does anyone have or maybe direct me to daily cruise compasses for the western Caribbean. Trying to plan for a group and it would be very helpful. Also, if anyone has nightly menus (I hear they've changed) for the MDR that would be wonderful. Thanks so much for the help.:);)

Has anyone done a private tour in Cozumel. We want to be able to tell them where we want to go and what we want to do for about 5 or 6 hours. We were going to rent a car but I keep reading horror stories so thought this might be the better way to go

Does anyone know what the on board discount are on Freedom of the Seas for the ranking of Emerald. Also was wondering if they have an unlimited wifi package like they do on Allure and how much it is and if it actually is worth it
