LauraDryad Posted October 16, 2017 #126 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Found a nice menu screen outside main dining room Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm really hoping this is the night two menu when we sail December 2nd. That first formal night is also my dad's 80-th birthday, and he loves duck. He would be in heaven with this menu. Plus, the rum and banana soup sounds amazing.

Rare happychippy Posted October 16, 2017 Author #129 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I almost forgot to post tonight's entertainment. It was Invitation to Dance. Tomorrow we arrive in Antigua at 8:00am. Breakfast in dining room then I'm going to Jolly Beach Resort to spend the day.

Fmaclean Posted October 16, 2017 #132 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Do you have to buy the day pass ahead of time, or can you just show up that day. We're on the 10/28 sailing and will self-debark. Our flight out isn't until 4:55 pm so I'd love to spend the day at the resort rather than the airport. Following Dec 9-Would like to know when the cruise ports in Saint Maarten Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare happychippy Posted October 16, 2017 Author #134 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I very much enjoy how conveniently located my room is to Cafe Promenade. It is right below my room, so I just walk 10 feet to the elevator go get my tea and back to my room. It's a windy misty morning coming in to Antigua. Dining room breakfast begins at 7:30an so I will have breakfast there before adventuring off in Antigua. First time in Antigua, I'm very excited!

LuCruise Posted October 16, 2017 #135 Share Posted October 16, 2017 You're staying in a Promenade room? If so, what do you think of it? We stayed in one on Allure and we loved it. My kids (and I) had fun when we were in the room checking out what was going on on the Promenade. Plus the extra seat was quite nice. Loving your review. Thanks for sharing. And that towel animal is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare happychippy Posted October 16, 2017 Author #136 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm in an inside room with A LOT of space, feel like I should host a cocktail party in here. It's an accessible room, so it's twice the size of a normal room. No complaints here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted October 16, 2017 #137 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Are the hot tubs open tonight? Just thinking after a long day of travel that may feel nice the first evening! This is a side benefit of having the TV/Movie screens on the pool deck, they leave the hottubs open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted October 16, 2017 #139 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I travel solo usually once a year for my "moms week off". Sometimes I take my mother or sister but I enjoy solo cruising. Doing what I want when I want and not worrying about what others want to do. I have early dining in main dining room. I dined last night with two other couples who were very nice. I like early in case dinner is not good then I can always go to buffet. Tonight is formal night which is not my thing, so I'm going to the windjammer buffet, it Asian cuisine theme which hopefully will be good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk FYI, its 45 degrees in Columbus this morning and I'm at work, so enjoy your day! I'm looking forward to Antiqua. The only time I was there, a friend picked the worst excursion ever, I can't wait to get back to see more of the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare happychippy Posted October 16, 2017 Author #141 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The dining room breakfast is very nice. There is a buffet set up in the middle of the room. Plenty of seating. It's over cast today, not too sunny. I love technology. Without technology to stay in communication with the family I would never be able to relax and enjoy the time away. I have Verizon cell phone service and I do not need to set up INTL plan, it's just $10 a day while on the island to text talk and data Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted October 16, 2017 #142 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I’m absolutely loving this review! It’s getting me so excited for my sailing. Being right below the Windjammer, I’ll be able to run up quickly for a full breakfast, lunch and/or dinner and enjoy it on my balcony [emoji5] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayehall Posted October 16, 2017 #143 Share Posted October 16, 2017 sent from my iphone using tapatalk this is a good idea!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayehall Posted October 16, 2017 #144 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Flight arrived into San Juan with no issue, but it was very crowded. Shops and restaurants were open. I only have carry on bag, but others mentioned they had to wait a while for their bags to be available. The RCCL transfers were crazy only because everyone was using them so I would recommend taking a taxi it was less than 15 minutes to get to the pier. Once at the pier check in was quick and easy. Elevators on the ship were very busy so I just carried my things up 5 decks to my cabin on 10. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk YOU ARE MY HERO!!! A 7-day cruise with just a carry on. My husband would love you;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayehall Posted October 16, 2017 #145 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Asked guest services about the drink card and was told it's 10 drinks for $85+18% and you can get the card anytime from any of the bars on the ship. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What is the drink card as opposed to the alcohol beverage package? Seems the drink package is cheaper or am I not reading this correctly?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayehall Posted October 16, 2017 #146 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Another tip: I pack an empty water bottle and Starbucks packets to save from buying sodas. There is complimentary lemonade, in sweet tea, and fruit drinks but I like the Starbucks.

suesnake2002 Posted October 16, 2017 #147 Share Posted October 16, 2017 What is the drink card as opposed to the alcohol beverage package? Seems the drink package is cheaper or am I not reading this correctly?:confused: The drink card is a one time purchase and allows you to get 10 drinks. As long as your not getting beer,its a win. The drink package is a per day charge for unlimited drinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayehall Posted October 16, 2017 #148 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Enjoying this review. Thanks for clearing up the drink card confusion!! We are sailing in January. Was supposed to be on this ship but got cancelled and changed to the Jewel. So some of your ports are the same. Thanks for all the information!!
