My sister was not charged in the MDR or Specialty on our Panama Canal cruise this month.

That's a shame they lost their overnight because of the storm but sounds like they had a great cruise with some nice weather despite the storm.

I was bummed we did not go to Cabo as it was the second time I missed this port.  First time was during the Swine Flu.   The Panama Canal cruise was all I envisioned it would be.  Enjoyed myself to the fullest.  We booked a Royal Excursion in Costa Rica, but was back to the port by 2:30 and felt really bad for the buses that had great difficulty getting back to the ship.

Just back from having the new menu for the first time.  Our waiter and assistant provided outstanding service.  I was so happy with them.

As for  the new menu.   Usually one entrée would appeal to me. Served hot and tasty. But wow was the portion small.  You can't help but notice that.  The New York strip steak that was mentioned previously in this thread is very accurate.    That was the only thing I was served all week that was impossible to eat.  So I can not really complain.  Everything else I enjoyed very much.

 

I did not roll out of the dinning room,  but left satisfied.   I lost 2 lbs.   I am happy about that

Honestly,   I think I can contribute that to all the walking I did on the Oasis. 

 

 

I had the New York strip steak twice on the Radiance Panama Canal cruise.  It was good, but much thinner than I have ever seen it.

We've been there several times but somehow we've never tried Nochi Cocom, which I know everyone seems to love... so I just booked it for Friday.

 

So yes, we're happy about it, lol. We weren't excited about Labadee. We're not beach people and the food is awful there. I don't eat hot dogs and burgers in WJ, I don't need them at Labadee. Give me good food and drinks and I become a beach person... hence why I like CocoCay and wanted to try Nachi. 🤣

 

I just need to change my 2 specialty dinner nights onboard now because of the changes but that shouldn't be a huge deal I hope.

I went to Nacho cocom on Saturday for the first time.  I really liked it.  Have been to Paradise Beach.a few times in the past but thought I would try something new.  I would go back.

Enjoy your cruise.

This cruise fulfills the 10 pts we need to

make D+.     💎➕

 

I will be diamond plus after my October cruise.  Will never be Pinnacle though.  Started cruising too late in life.

I have never seen the iron up to 10 items for $17.99.  I will look on my Oct cruise.

You’ve been around enough to know that the Execs never see the thousands messages sent to their external facing email addresses each week. Email sent to that email address get routed to an off shore customer service call center who can send back canned responses. 

I emailed Michael Bailey previously regarding my Symphony cruise several years ago.  I received a call either 1 or 2 days later and my issue was resolved in my favor. 

I am loving your review!!

A very positive thing, the shower curtain has not clung to us like in the days past. The pressure has been awesome and more than enough heat to melt a glacier. The cabin AC has been cool enough for us as well. Fridge barely keep up, but our ice bucket is always full. 
 

Another thing to note, we bring a part bottle of pump soap from home.  Just a preference. 
 

I always bring my own hand soap as well.

Enjoyed your pictures of Rome.  I went in 2018, and kept saying over and over...........I remember that.

I can't imagine booking any further out than this!!!  I've had this booked for 5 months so at one time it said 750 days!  

I was booked on this itinerary on Carnival Splendor, when the Swine Flu started.  We pulled up to Cabo and was turned away, but we could see the Royal ship there and passengers were out and about.  We ended up only going to San Francisco.  Had a great cruise, although was disappointed I did not get to these ports.

I have never noticed when they changed the sheets. 😳

they never changed the sheets on my 8 day Explorer as the same stain was in the exact place all week.

I bring my Mac, but always just stick it in a drawer before I leave the room.

I just booked the 4 night Utopia after my Wonder cruise Feb 2025.  I would not have booked a 4 night cruise as I have to fly, but since I will already be there it made sense to me.  Looking forward to hearing all the great things about Utopia until it is my turn.

Have a great time in Amsterdam. I love that city.

I do as well.

Pat

Looking forward to the review.  Have an awesome cruise.

Pat

Enjoyed your review.  

Pat

Enjoying your review.  I cruised out of Amsterdam about 4 years ago and we spent a few days in Amsterdam before the cruise touring.  Hope to go back again.

Pat

I wish I had known.  I would have paid off my Panama Canal cruise off early.  

Pat

Enjoy your cruise.

Yup, on a 15nite and Two Panama Canal 16nite Cruise in next 17months, no UDP offered. Longest offered is a 5 nite Dining package

There is a 10 night offered on our October Panama Canal cruise.  It is just not where the 3 and 5 day are, they are lower down the page.

If I was retired, I would jump on one or two of them.  Still have 2 years to go until retirement.
