Wine-O Posted August 23, 2015 #27 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) We enjoyed dinner in Murano this evening, it's always special and tonight was no exception. Impeccable service and food.

Rare ladylemondrop Posted August 24, 2015 Author #33 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Captain Bouzakis made a great joke last night about the housekeeping staff - that if you get up in the night to use the bathroom, when you get back to your bed it's made for you again...[emoji16] In fact I was worried about sharing one cabin with four men (3 are adolescent) but the stewards have been fantastic and we have not felt over crowded at all.

Rare ladylemondrop Posted August 24, 2015 Author #34 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Today we are in Mykonos and we took a bike tour with Yummy Pedals - it was quite windy but a great day, we finished at a farm/vineyard and enjoyed local delicacies.

themutis Posted August 24, 2015 #35 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Louise, Thanks for the live updates!!! So glad you are having fun! Did you get to see the pelican in Mykonos? If you have a chance, I'd love a photo of the Bistro menu and also the 24-hour room service menu. Enjoy your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobal Posted August 24, 2015 #37 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Wow - so Richard Spacey is your CD. He is like a God on the Royal Caribbean boards and there was much anguish when he left the company ;) He has such a good reputation as a CD though so would love to know what all the fuss is about :) - would you know whether he will still be on in a couple of weeks (we join on 11 September).

Rare keesar Posted August 24, 2015 #39 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Captain Bouzakis made a great joke last night about the housekeeping staff - that if you get up in the night to use the bathroom, when you get back to your bed it's made for you again...[emoji16] In fact I was worried about sharing one cabin with four men (3 are adolescent) but the stewards have been fantastic and we have not felt over crowded at all. The Captain needs new joke material. We heard that one months ago. More to come…. Seriously, when we were on the Reflection, the food and the singers/dancers/aerialists were real good. However, the other entertainment and activities left a lot to be desired. Have they resumed live music around the pool? Are there guest speakers in Beyond the Podium? Those were sorely missed.

Pipo Posted August 25, 2015 #40 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hi louise1809, can you tell us how things are currently being managed with the CLASSIC Package at the Martini and Molecular bars? Mixed information here... Some say that any cocktail up to $8 is covered, others only just a few selection of small glasses, and others say that classic package is not applicable for cocktails at those bars, except during the happy hour. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarps14 Posted August 25, 2015 #41 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Y'all do realize she's only on the ship for 7 days, right? Only so many hours in a day. I kid. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ladylemondrop Posted August 25, 2015 Author #42 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Quiet evening last night we were rocking and rolling a bit out of Mykonos - we saw a talented violinist from Russia in the theatre Edited August 25, 2015 by louise1809 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ladylemondrop Posted August 25, 2015 Author #44 Share Posted August 25, 2015 So far we have not seen live music by the pool (just very loud disco music) (too loud even for me and I am young!)[emoji6] No guest speakers either although they had a port speaker talking about Ephesus on our sea day.

hillsprint Posted August 25, 2015 #47 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Was on the Reflection last week, re the music - yes still booming at the pool. They had a special event on the lawn one evening, Grassdonbury, so as you can guess they were attempting to create their own music festival. It's a great idea, had a couple of small tents filled with blankets to sit on, free popcorn and candy floss and the ships dancers in 60s style festival gear. But, the DJ kept playing modern mashes of classic songs with the heavy drum beat, and instead of dancing along the audience just sat stunned :( a real pity as it was a good idea., Actually have just noticed the the Cruise Director has changed since last week !!! So here's hoping Edited August 25, 2015 by hillsprint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ladylemondrop Posted August 25, 2015 Author #48 Share Posted August 25, 2015 They mentioned Grassdonbury - they are also doing mobile nightclub feature so each evening the nightclub will pop up in a different spot on the ship with a different theme - last night was Harem tonight is Miami beach.... Today we are in Turkey and I noticed a Turkish buffet will be featured in the ocean view cafe tonight. We took a yacht tour today on Amores1 (private tour) Was nice.

Rare ladylemondrop Posted August 25, 2015 Author #49 Share Posted August 25, 2015 My husband said they did have live music by the pool - we have also noticed really nice live music just outside Muranos restaurant at the bar, it's a lovely place to sit for a drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordylad Posted August 25, 2015 #50 Share Posted August 25, 2015 wish they would just have the music on in the afternoon and have the morning as quiet time at the pool that would satisfy most people I think..........do other cruise lines have booming music at the pool? we were fortunate enough on our reflection ta last year only to have loud music at the pool in the afternoons as I think there had been a few complaints at the start of the cruise by the blue rinse brigade.........
