any suggestions which hotel it could be

The Adventure had these sarnies one day in the dinning room when open for lunch then another on the Promenade they set up a station at lunch time.

Next time I saw the lunch station sadly it was pork and not those rare beef ones.

Been no slippers on our last few cruises.

We had breakfast most morning in the Diamond Lounge on Grandeur last August. Does anyone know if there is a Diamond breakfast set up on Serenade in their Diamond Lounge?

Only a cold buffet type as in Concierge.

April is , followed by a 7 day cruise then its TA to Southampton.

After the first time this sort of thing happened to us we always take a copy of any documents showing onboard credit.

Big help.They can then copy this at Guest relations and send it off to the relevant people to deal with.

Sometimes it can take more than one visit but it has always worked so far.

We're cruising on Adventure on 1st September. If the topless deck is in operation, we will try to get a photo (of the sign, not the topless sunbathers!:p). It may not be an issue since our cruise is to Iceland and Norway, and probably a bit chilly for any sunbathing, let alone the topless sort.

Did this cruise this year [2013] and believe me it was hot enough to sunbathe topless or otherwise.

One officer commented he thought he was in the Caribbean it was so nice.

There is no Centrum on Navigator it has a promenade instead.

Port out, starboard home when sailing from Europe to USA that is so be POSH

Got an upgrade!

Wishful thinking I know :rolleyes:

Some cruise friends of ours had a medical emergency and one of them was hospitalised in Norway.

They had Royals insurance package and RCI were wonderful, arranged everything including a member of staff to stay with them for the first 5 days until the needed operation so do not discount Royals insurance deals.

They told us what the cost would have been if they had to pay for everything and it was huge specially the air ambulance needed to bring them home when fit to travel.

The only thing that has been removed is the "Match Plays" (3). But get this, they still have the free Spins available. (seriously):rolleyes::eek::(

Maybe they cannot use that specific machine for anything else :rolleyes:

Hot beef sarnies in Park cafe wonderful with a bag of Kettle crisps even better.

Sadly they usually run out of crisps before the end of the voyage.

Just an FYI, but your complimentary cruise is a 7 night Caribbean cruise and it "can not be" on the Oasis or Allure which, depending on the time of year, limits your choices in vessels.

 

You're welcome.:)

no longer true as there are now many Pinnacles in Europe so they allowed them to take the cost of a 7 day balcony rate off any next cruise booked.

Some ships have gone to $0.75 per minute. I don't know for sure about Serenade, could still be $0.65.

Sadly it is now 75 cents too

Just got of Serenade and Wi fi conection was great even in cabin.

off tomorrow for all EU cruise on Serenade, will post on what is happening on our return if that is not too late for you.

On our recent Adventure cruise there was no bottles of alcohol or cigarettes on sale in Shops on board and the ship had notices to say they were paying the VAT themselves on other purchases.

Also shops dockside in the ports we visited said you had to pay the extra VAT when making a purchase of alcohol and cigarettes to take back onboard.

LOL....that's okay....RCI owns celebrity........LOL

And I didnt know that?

so will just say Royal Caribbean if that helps.

We only had a CC luncheon once and it was on the Celebrity Silhouette on a 12 night Caribbean cruis. It was very nice and the Captain came around to chat with all of us.

Should have said on RCI ships.

The Adventure is the only ship I know of that do a CC lunch and then only on their TA

It has always been excellent hope they still do it in the spring.

Just had an email from RC:

 

On 21st November 2013 there will be a big announcement "that will be music to your ears".

 

Massive hint that the announcement will concern Anthem being based in Southampton.

But we still need to go to Guatamala to be able to deal with RCI office,give me the old system anytime never mind a new ship which quite frankly is not new news,we were told ages ago the purpose of the new Sunshine breed of ships makes them ideal for sailing in Europe all year round.

After all the Indie was originally launched and based in Southampton.

I understand where the op is coming from but if you think about somewhere like the Windjammer then a lot of food is eaten with your hands when you get to the table.

I cannot eat a danish pastry with a knife and fork so what do I do if I return for something else and use the tongs with hands that have now been near my lips?

Also once tried eating that crispy american bacon with utensils and woops shattered everywhere.Same with chappatis.

OHH Iwant those mixed berries and I want them now......please.

Yummy

The Captain sounds fun. Any idea when he goes on vacation?

He is the best Captain ever and is on AOS til the New Year I think, know he will be Captain when we return on TA in spring.

Linda, the Alice story is a bit long and boring for those not involved, enough to say Cuddy and Keiron Buffery got bored on a Navigator TA and had fun with an inflatable Kangaroo used to promote the little Alice wine bottles.

She was in the Windjammer and got kidnapped.

There followed days of searching, she was seen riding the lifts, a group of Canadian mounties joined in to mount a rescue , and she was seen under the Captains table, where some droppings were discovered.

Cuddy will know who told you about her as he and Keiron were seen on their breakfast show sampling said droppings and saying well the sure aint Koala.

[They were actualy cocoa pops but please dont let on.:cool:]
