THANK YOU so much for posting everything you have. Very helpful to have current information. The photos of the bar menu came through perfectly. I think you mentioned you are a Diamond or Diamond+ member. If you happen to go into the Diamond Lounge or if you are in the Concierge lounge can you post the information on what is offered during the 5-8 time frame as far as drinks? All of this information is helpful to decide on whether at least one of us wants to get the beverage package.

No more tableside Guac, WHAT??? That's absurd. If there is a waiter there still, named Evo Rodriguez, he is great!!

I was also at Sabor on NV last night. Was told they can't make table side Guacamole anymore due to some kind of health regulations [emoji15]. It's made fresh back in the kitchen as you like it. It does seem absurd.

My server was Ambergail. She also did a great job

[emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]Grrrrr, so in my infinite wisdom, I decided to try and get hubby and I into one large suitcase this trip. I suspected our bag might be overweight, but thought the worse case scenario was they would charge me for two bags....nope, $25 for the bag, and $100 surcharge for being overweight! So much for my bargain basement priced airfare...guess I'll be shopping for a "tote" in Cozumel [emoji23]

Decided today's lunch would be a quick bite in the Windjammer

 

Pretty easy to find something that will fill the void...

WELL! here's an offering I have never seen before! [emoji15][emoji15]

When in doubt, google is your friend....sorry, prunes and soup are not compatible in my book [emoji107]

My final parting Windjammer thoughts.... is it just me, or have the dessert options here really gone down hill? Lime jello? I had better dessert options the last time I was in the hospital [emoji12]

That said, I think we're going to try it for dinner this evening since we didn't pack any formal wear, and we've decided to do Chops later in the week.

 

I've heard it's an entirely different experience in the evenings. We shall see....

Here is this evenings menu. Formal night. A very odd choice in my opinion since it's a port day and we are actually here fairly late. Early dining is 5:30 on this sailing. Would have thought it would have fallen on one of our sea days .....

YES!! The desserts overall have gotten very sad. Usually at dinner in the Windjammer they will have a hand-dipped (by staff) ice cream station and/or a dessert crepe station - which are both fairly good.

 

Loving all your pics Chris. Thanks for taking the time!!!

Disregard the email. They will let you board when you arrive regardless of this email. People book flights arriving at 10am and head straight to the airport. They do not want to keep people sitting waiting in the cruise terminal for 6 hours if they are on deck 2. That would start the vacation on a VERY bad tone. Pretty sure RCCL does this to "try" to space out the arrival times of its passengers.

 

We arrive around 10:30 usually and are usually on the ship by 11am regardless of our cabin location or C&A status. You have paid for your vacation, now get on that ship early and enjoy it to its fullest.

 

Also, some of us flew in the day before and have to check out of the hotel long before out check-in time for the ship. On sail day, there is nowhere I want to go except to the ship, even if they would keep our luggage.

 

This check-in times suggested work for people who can do it, if they want to. Otherwise, go when you find it most convenient after check-in starts.

Thanks, Dan! You are in luck. The Old Fashioned menu in the Schooner still lists them at $12

Yes, we always fly in the day before, and always head to the pier around 10:30. But we have sailed most recently out of Fort Lauderdale....this was the first time out of Miami in quite awhile. Last time I recall seeing a boarding schedule by deck was on Oasis.

 

I was pleasantly surprised with the speed in check in, but I did feel for the folks in the snaky line without priority boarding. They were escorting people to the front of the line who were Platinum and above, and then alternating with the people in the "non status" line. First time I've seen this, but I guess the moral of the story is they all got on eventually [emoji4]
