  1. We were on the 11 night Jan 15 Cruise. Mario had all the menues marked by night in the CL. I took pictures as we were plotting for what nights to eat elsewhere based on the MDR menu. I can send what I have, but I don't have nights one or two since we were using the BO-GO's those nights.

    Email sent - Thanks so much Jim!

  2. Tonight's menu was Mojo. Tomorrow is Saffron.

     

    Dinner was fine. Not 4 star quality but was certainly enjoyable. I had the prime rib and wife had the pork chop. French onion soup and shrimp cocktail were definitely not the worst we have had on royal.

    Thank you frank808!! Knowing the menus sure makes it easier to plan specialty dinners around main dinning when you know what's being served each evening. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the nights too.

  3. I can see this from both sides, so if you want to call me on the fact that I didn't "require" my teen to rush back to the cabin at the crack of 1AM, then I can accept that. I would not, however rush around the ship like a madman at 12:45AM looking for him, either, nor would I punish him for loosing track of time and not coming back until 1:30AM - it's not worth the potential cruise-ruining conflict unless there was another part of the equation - AKA, he was out past curfew and got in trouble - different story.

     

    We went on this trip with one agreement amongst all family members - to not sweat the small stuff, not argue over stupid things, and to enjoy ourselves.

     

    That said, comparing a few teens sitting in a quiet spot on the pool deck or in Sorrentos chatting until 1:30 breaking curfew (gasp!) to someone smoking in the main dining room is a big stretch. One thing is very unlikely to directly impact other guests, at least no more so than any other person sitting there chatting at 1:30 AM. Smoking on the other hand directly effects plenty of others, has negative health effects, and damages the ship when done in areas not designated for smoking.

     

    Thank you, you've proven my point quite nicely. YOU decided, as a family, that it was okay to ignore rules set by RCL. I don't think you checked with the other 2-6 thousand guests to get their approval.

     

    Having raised teens, and after every single one of us adults having been a teen, you and I both know one simple fact; Teens lie. I know, yours are the ONLY exception to this rule. They do talk loud in the hall, they do mess around. They do bother people.

     

    I do not smoke, but if I choose to be in an environment that allows it, it was my choice. I would, JUST LIKE YOU, not tolerate a smoker lighting up in the dining room. Why should ANYONE tolerate the fact that YOUR family decided to violate the rules and "not to sweat the small stuff".

  4. The time of the curfew is irrelevant but whatever it is, it should observe it.

     

    This is not an issue about good/bad kids or good/bad parents. This is simply an issue of.... OMG, could it actually be this simple...Will you make your kids obey RCL rules or not?

     

    Many of you, wonderful parents with wonderful children, think....

     

    A smoker is a terrible person because they smoke on their balcony, or the casino, where it is not against the rules. Based on your feelings on the teen curfew, you shouldn't have a problem if they light up in the dining room. You certainly shouldn't care if someone wears shorts to dinner on formal night.

     

    Flame me AS YOU WILL but this really is an issue of right and wrong. If you allow your teens out after curfew, you are wrong. Nobody is saying they are doing anything wrong. They are just saying it's against policy. You expect others to do so. Maybe you should as well.
