cruisin73

I have always taken Bonine with no problem however someone introduced 

Me to this patch.  Has anyone tried it?  I’m a little skeptical but open to trying something new.  

I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this but want to ask anyway.  I know if you go from a balcony room to a suite you don’t get double points but what if you go from suite to another suite?  I’m assuming you would still get the double points since you were originally in a suite. 

Thank you so much for this live review. I know it takes alot of time to do.  I really felt like I was on this cruise with you.  We also have a tri cavalier at home.  The worst part of cruising is leaving him with grandma although he loves her too and gets spoiled all week. Can't wait for your next review.

Eagle beach and Palm beach are busy.

If you can go further out, the beaches are quieter - Baby Beach, Malmok Beach or Arashi Beach.

Malmok Beach best for snorkeling.

All beaches are great.

Thank you. Will check those other beaches out. 

Our plan right now is to spend the day at the beach when we are in Aruba on December 5th.  We also plan to go to the dutch pancake house for breakfast before we head to the beach. This is our first time to Aruba  but we are thinking either Eagle beach or Palm beach. We enjoy a quiet beach but also like snorkeling. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on which beach to go to . 

We've never booked a cruise while on board until now.   This past May while on Symphony we booked Symphony for this December.  We booked a suite and received 300 OBC.  I plan to book another one while on board. It's worth it to me to get the OBC.

Best story in the water. Woman #1 talking to another woman #2 . Woman #1 asks woman #2 “Do you cruise a lot “? Woman #2 replies “Yes we cruise a lot maybe 4 to 6 times a year.” Woman #1 asks “are you pinnacle “? To which woman #2 replies “no we are catholic.” My cocktail went out of my nose laughing at that. A classic.

 

Just read this to my husband.  We are both dying from laughter over here. 

I think that's an awesome itinerary.

It’s still there, just harder to find (which is dumb). See below…

Thank you so very much.  I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do this.

We are on the current sailing (Grand Suite) and I had a few minutes to sit down with the Chef in CK as we boarded yesterday and we caught up, (have not seen him for a couple of months).

 

I mentioned that the menu had not been published in the app until the very day we boarded. He explained that the IT folks who populate the app "leave a bit to be desired." This is true as even the names of the entertainers had not been updated until boarding day.

 

In answer to the question as to menu, it is the same 7-day rotation that is on every Oasis class ship. You can set your clock by it 🙂

 

I look forward to the best thing on the menu (Thursday dinner, Red Wine Sorbet reduction on a Brownie tart for dessert)

 

Thanks for that information.  

We plan to eat most of our dinners at Coastal Kitchen We would also like to eat at a few specialty dining restaurants.  I'm trying to find the menu for Coastal kitchen any clue where to look for that?

We loved the Boatyard and the Renaissance Hotel too. Todd's was Black Label, he never stears from Johnny I of course had a delish Mojito!

 

I'm so happy to hear this.  We will be staying at the Renaissance hotel for the first time.  So happy you loved it.  Plan to go to Boatyard for dinner since it is in walking distance.

We are still on it’s been over an hour. We started at stop 1 we are at stop 9 now. Great to see the amazing houses and yachts.

 

we are eating tonight at the Boathouse. I think Deb and Andy are eating at the Boatyard. I’ve heard great things about both.

oops sorry about that.  

We are planning on taking the water taxi when we are down in FLL in a few weeks for symphony cruise. How long is the round trip?  

We are also planning on eating at the Boatyard.  Can't wait to see how you liked it. 

We have never checked out towels.  We usually just get them on the suite deck though so we just take what we need.

So excited to follow yet another live from Sea dog.  You always do the best lives or somewhat lives.  We are going on Symphony of the seas in December. I Just finished your symphony of the seas live. 

Anyone going to be on symphony of the seas December 2-10?

I called them and they handled it for me.

The CK menu is unlikely to change but you could look at say the Harmony menu.

Thanks I'll check those out.  I was trying to figure out when to go to specialty dining verses coastal kitchen.

Set the app to the current sailing, not yours - the menu should be there. If not, look at another O class ship.

I was thinking that but I wasn't sure if they would be the same menu. Symphony is in Europe right now.

On the app I can see menu's for other restaurants but not coastal kitchen.  I will be on Symphony of the seas on December 2nd.  Is there someplace I can look and see current menu's that will also be on my sailing?

Loving your live review of Wonder.  I love sitting in Central park and listening to music there.  Will be on Symphony in a few weeks and Central Park is my favorite spot on the Oasis class ships.  What's the Broadway show on Wonder?

My husband has a severe allergy to mushrooms and all fish and seafood. If he gets a mushroom he can't run to the bathroom quick enough.  When we went to Wonderland we explained the food allergy to the waiter. RCCL takes food allergy's very seriously.  The menu is a little odd so we didn't know what to order so the waiter ordered for us and everything was amazing. The best part is they have this mushroom cake for dessert.  My husbands big joke was he was finally able to eat a mushroom without getting sick. 

When we went in May we brought 300 and got about another 300  from a bank ATM.

Oldest is Explorer 

newest and favorite is Symphony

We'll be on Symphony again in December.
