Be sure to make reservations for the evening shows, they check your card before you enter. Spring for the gelato, its wonderful and a big glop in a small is $3.50. The calamari on italian night was horrible. Hopefully it might be better than our was but don't be suprised if it is awful. Actually the whole italian night menu was not great. The South Beach pool was nice and no kids allowed. The elevators are....different. We just got off yesterday so all this stuff is pretty fresh.

We booked a room last week for Feb 27th, 2025 Explorer from Miami. There were tons of room available last week and now the balcony and window rooms are sold out. If there is some sort of convention going on I would like to know. This is almost 2 years in advance!! Can anyone help me find out ??

My husband loves the lox & bagels, I love the muesli & cant forget the nice think slices of the raisin bread. Eggs.....meh. I can make that at home.

Just got off this morning. We had a wonderful time. 2 great groups in Bolero's. Get there early!
Don't have the stroganoff or the boneless lamb chops, wait and get the lamb shanks.
Have fun!!

Just got off the Connie and was told by the concierge that we don't get wine in the room unless we request it of our room steward. That is a something new since we always find it there when we arrive. I guess if new concierge cruisers don't know to request the free wine bottle, the company saves the cost of the wine ($2.00). lol

I really liked all the shows but Soundtrack on night 5. It was Ok but just not for me. It reminded me of the old production shows we stopped going to years ago. The 1st 4 shows were great. We really liked the Rondevous lounge too.

I'll be on it too!!!!!

Booked almost a year and a half ago when they had cruise only. It's about 800.00 more to add on the package. Not worth it for 3 drinks a day.
-
My husband is not a big drinker and I don't drink at all. Other than the Captain Club party are free drinks available to elites around the ship like Royal? We are leaving on 11/07 and can't it out. The drink package is not worth it for us when we only
get 3 drinks a day.

Cruises out of New York also have quite a few Russians. Actually we have seen almost every nationality since Bayonne is so close to the international airports. We never know what language we will hear when we enter the elevators. Its quite nice to see the people from all over the world enjoy what we are enjoying.....Another reason to cruise out of NY.

What kind of treatment does the medical staff give you for noro?
-
2 formal nights on the 12 nighter. Then ususal nights..2nd night & next to last night.
-
No need to prebook. Just show up.

We got off last week & found that people were dressed all different ways. Some guys had slacks on & their girls were dressed to the nines. Some couples were completely casual. A tuxedo here & there. Some women had gowns. I had 2 dresses & never wore them. I chose to wear pants with fancier tops. No matter how you dress you won't feel out of place on this ship.
-
I just got off last weeks cruise too & noted the amount of under 35 year olds had increased. Actually I thought there would be a lot more elderly handicapped people than there were for the size of the ship. I did the same cruise last year too.
As for rude people, I didnt notice anything unusual until disembarcation time when every body was tired, cranky & chomping to get off the ship. New Yorkers have a bad rep but sometimes Europeans can be rude too. Just go with the flow, it should be wonderful!

On another night there was a live band in 270. There is live stuff all over the place at night.
-
I would not skip the dining room for the bistro but would have pre dinner snacks in the Windjammer. Dinner there looked quite nice. It opens at 5:30 & since we were only 1 floor down I would stop in some nights just to look around.
-
Yes, thats what his panini looked like, not like any deli sandwich I ever had. My husband said it tasted good for what it was. The deli section on utube looked a lot less impressive in person... a lot less!
-
You are right, the Red Party had a DJ. The 270 background was just red & there were flashing lights. Don't recall anybody wearing red or the need to.
-
The fixings are by the omlet station. My husband got a reuben type panini. From what I saw you are better off having a New York deli sandwich in New York or you will be VERY disappointed. The good new is that in the middle of the cruise the LOX comes out at breakfast time, if that you you like.
-
I thought it was great too. I usually drag around in a fog disembarcation morning but that hour more sleep put a little more spring in my step.
-
I just go off too & heard 2 ladies complaining that there is now a bread basket on the table. I thought it was a good change because I hated the bread guy going around to tables & you having to point a piece of bread or two. If more bread was wanted you had to hail the bread guy again. I'll take the bread basket any day.
-
The Red party is in 270 too.

On the ship now. You have nothing to worry about entertainment wise. I don't like karioki either and find that there are too many things to do at night. The music hall is rocking, boleros is jumping and there are shows to go to. My husband has to drag me to bed at night. You have nothing at all to worry about. It's a great cruise.

We just got off the Refelection and they sure did have it. Don't know about the Apex though.
