As long as you know risks and you seem to know. Passport only costs 100+ dollars and is good for 10 years.

How did you like Miracle's MDR colors and overall decor? We had better pax while sailing on ... but colors. We LOVE bright colors, but that scene was weird. As for Icon... I will wait and see videos. We like all classes of RCI, but not sure we will go out of the way (we sail from Northeast) to sail on her.

Second Anthem Block. 🙂 Second overall block is from Oasis. I read reviews from upset people who do not like a new style,but for us it is a good thing. At least we won't have 2 identical Anthem's ones.

We soon will have another Anthem block (280 pts). It will be our second Anthem block. First one was classic from 2021 and this one will be the new one.

We had success on most tries with 6:15 to 6:30 on several ships, but it is just two of us and on last one it became more difficult, so we are thinking about sticking to what we booked for MTD times.

People miss some standard (safe?) food that Classic menu had. I do not. I only miss variety in appetizers as even before menu change I switched to eating 2-3 appetizers instead of appetizer + entree (desserts were dropped long time ago). Even before menu change we usually were out in 45 minutes.

Celebrity of course offers higher standards in this department. No doubts about it. There are other variables to this equation. Like number of ships offered from Northeast (Boston, Bayonne, Baltimore) for example and more. However restaurants on RCI while not perfect (X food is better), but good enough. I'd prefer existing ambiance remaining. Not too formal, not too riff raff, Nice balance. Every line we sailed with (starting 2003) Celebrity - 7 times Princess - 7 times Holland America - 2 times NCL - 9 times MSC - 2 times Cunard - 1 time except for Carnival (3 times) had something better than RCI, but overall RCI offers the best value and variety for us.

Freedom and Odyssey are from different classes although we haven’t found that buffet was overcrowded.

Another assumption. I actually own Crocs, I also own swimwear and many other things I do not to evening restaurant. Who is talking about Black Tie experience?! LOL. If normal shoes and pants is equal to Black Tie experience for you I wonder where exactly do you live and what do you do? 🙂

Me? Noooo. However I am sure number of people who think that shorts and crocks are the most appropriate outfit for MDR definitely would.

There is a reason we pick certain places to vacation and do not pick others. Certain restaurants. It is not only food, but whole experience, ambiance. Same with cruise lines. I realize that my last cruise was 5 dayer, so this probably affected passengers mix probably. We dropped Carnival because there was a big mismatch for us. Or should I say too big.

Sure, I will start confrontation with people who only has crocs. I am already paying attention on 65 posts person. What next? LOL

Not sure why you are explaining things to me. And even better why you are offering advice. With 27 cruises with RCI alone I think I have enough experience to know everything about cruising. I also can voice my opinion, You may skip it if it is upsetting you.

This is not a case for cruises out of NJ (Anthem, Oasis etc) or Baltimore, or maybe absolute majority does not dine in crocs. This is why I was surprised on Liberty 5 dayer to Bermuda recently. Suggestion to change vacation is really clever although not called for. Can you show me any documents Currently, for sailings in the Caribbean (possibly elsewhere), that's shorts and sandals (crocs). If you do not have it ... and RCI website does not have this information, it is most likely that crew just does not want to have confrontations.

No. It was on top of fare for inside room on July 10th, 2021 However Fare for 2 was around $2100.

Thank you. I do not see mentions of In the Air and Saturday Night Fever We were on cruise before you and thought both were terrific. Aerial duet, Colombian Latin dancers... were amazing. Liberty is in the first 5 or even 3 probably out of all cruises we had.

7 days Western Caribbeans. Price itself was not low for July.

Maybe we know each other and you watched me on ships. Otherwise I hope this is not an admissions that you like crocs. ))))

I am glad you are enjoying a zoo. In some reason people who think they are open minded are only open minded about shorts. 😉

Your assumptions continue....

What is your real life name? I'll try to remember if I ever sailed with you.

I like this term a Personal Oasis. Ship's MDR does not strike me as PO at all. In some reason I feel as people would be really upset if drags will make obvious appearance. 😉

Never attempted for many reasons. I'm not a complainer. I feel for stuff , although in some cases it was warranted.

Absolutely not. Why not? Strings, nudity, wifebeaters and so on are all choices. I am sure all will have own reasons. Just don't look and enjoy your dinner.

Not yet? When people say nothing can affect their enjoyment of dinner and everyone should have a choice they need to be ready for various choices. It is not only THEIR choices.
