Just off the SL yesterday (May 26) and was pleasantly surprised by the service in the Galley. We weren't sure how it would go after months of reading CC posts. Our morning routine was to be up around 7a and go to the gym, then grab a table on the outside aft deck on 15 which didn't have flags. Shirin (I think that was her name) would come over quickly and get our orders or tell us to let her know when we were ready to order something.

Dang, missed you getting yelled at again!

Looked like you were in the way of them driving down the ramp to get to the little building...possibly a bathroom.

Sid, did I just see you get beeped at by a security van while you were taking a picture?

We spend hours on the balcony, our room would never get serviced if we put on dnd!

You'd have to both be out there and housekeeping locks the door out of habit after telling you they're done.

We'll be there tomorrow night having the steak

Public service announcement: Just learned that you can get locked out on the balcony on this ship! 😆 The outside balcony door handle doesn't lock and unlock, only has a grip handle. It was hilarious but probably only because a bathroom crisis (after 3 mojitos) was averted by our agent letting housekeeping know to come back within minutes. 🤭

To clarify, we got the walk in warning for dinner reservations. We haven't needed breakfast reservations since we've hit the Galley every day. Though @Ociana's recommendation for avo toast is intriguing me now.

We were warned against trying to walk in to a restaurant without reservations since there are "over 2000" on board. I didn't ask for the specific number though.

Not fishy at all, we thought it tasted like lobster.

This dorade tasted a lot like lobster to us with the butter sauce.

I agree on the dorade, Sid. It was effing amazing!

We just left!

Yep, that's where we are.

The best mojitos I've had on a ship have been made from bartenders who are from the Caribbean. They KNOW mojitos and my bartenders so far have not been from the Caribbean. It could also be a bar stock issue. Twice they have used a cloudy lime juice concoction instead of fresh limes. Not exactly sure since I haven't pressed them on the issue. On Celebrity, I could ask for my "skinny" mojito using diet sprite instead of simple syrup and soda, alas the only diet soda this ship has is coke.

Feels weird to say yes to being a rockstar, but we are in a Sweet Aft Suite and our awesome agent arranged the extras needed for our cocktails.

Enjoy your day, Sid. Since I can't get a decent mojito on this ship, had to make one myself. Gonna enjoy it to the tunes drifting up from The Dock.

The bratty kid got what he wanted. That's too bad.

Having a homemade triple g & t while I search for the good bartender

I had a different guy. Will look for your guy.

I'd like to know his name too. I was definitely not cool enough for the Dock House bartender around the time you were there for lunch, Sid. Wondering if it's the same guy.

Just missed you.

Me too, Sid. We're booked for the Ship Show but it's a crap shoot whether we'll make it.
