IOS.... it's been a while!

[Miss M]

Hi,

 

It's been a few years since Hubby and I sailed on IOS, ou first cruise back in 2009 was on Indy and we loved it. I just wanted to know if much has changed on board in 10 years?

 

Are there still three dining rooms? Macbeth? King Lear? amd Romeo and Juliet.

Can you still book early or late dining?

Do they offer tables of 2?

Do they have freedom dining?

Is room service free?

Are formal nights still formal?

Is Chops Grill and Johnny Rockets still onboard?

Late night snacks in Sorentos?

Is the Olive & Twist bar still there?

Are the TV's small (compared to newer ships)

 

Hopefully I haven't asked too many questions :D

 

Thank

Miss M

Do they have freedom dining? My Time Dining

Is room service free? I didn't use room service, but I think there is a fee now? Someone else may chime in.

Are formal nights still formal? I didn't see many tuxedos or floor length gowns: I saw mostly cocktail dresses (me) and jackets for men.

Is Chops Grill and Johnny Rockets still onboard? Yes

Late night snacks in Sorentos? Yes, but I do not remember until what time they were open. Cafe Promenade is 24 hours.

Is the Olive & Twist bar still there? Yes

Are the TV's small (compared to newer ships) Not sure of the size, but yes I believe smaller than the newer ships.

 

Hopefully I haven't asked too many questions :D No you haven't!

I was just onboard two weeks ago for a 4-night cruise, after 10 years as well! See my replies to each point above.

$8 per order, regardless of how much you order.

Depends on your definition of small - less than 30" in most cabins, a bit bigger in suites. With such a short distance to the TV in most cabins, you don't need some big screen to enjoy it.

Continental breakfast is free for room service!
