I need to touch up my clothes for elegant night and my room location is extremely close to the laundry room on Dream and conquest class. It does not look like the laundry room is in the same location on vista....so I have to figure that out.

[Saint Greg]

Ugh...according to this there isn’t even one on lido anymore. That stinks.

You are killing me.  Pinal Coloda is definitely my favorite.  How is the Caribbean different?

 

I think just add banana 

[Saint Greg]

Clothes are ready for elegant night. The laundry room is directly below where it used to be. It’s much bigger now. I was able to stream YouTubeTV in the laundry room.

I need to scope out the dining room. I have very specific table preferences. Then I think I’m going to hit Mongolian Wok again before they close at 2:30. I really liked those wontons. Alchemy opens at 4pm....so I’ll have to hit that.

You can hear a lot of banging in here. I think we’re under the basketball court...it’s ridiculous.

It is.  it's also why the basketball court is closed during dinner hours.

This is next to the coffee shop deck 5. You can start checking in here at 5pm. You can also use the app or go to the dining room. At the dining room you have to wait until 5:30. If you want a specific table or server you can request that here or at the dining room but not on the app.

This elevator thing is stupid. I was hoping to try that original system I believe they installed where you put in the floor you want and it tells you which elevator to get on. I’ve used that in some luxury hotels and it’s been great. Push your floor button or scan you room card. What they have here now is certain elevators go to certain decks. It doesn’t impact me much because I’m usually going between 3 and 10...and all of them go to those decks. But if you’re on deck 1 or 2, not every elevator goes to your deck. I guess it could be an advantage to me because I have more elevators going to my deck than some people do.its weird though.

Good. I was hoping that would be the case. Maybe they should take out the basketball court and put something quieter up there. Badminton or something.

Great info, so far thanks!  Looking forward to hearing about everything!

I’m loving your live review, it’s getting me more excited for my cruise on the Vista in May!

Dropped a hundo in the casino waiting on alchemy to open.

[Saint Greg]

A lot of confusion at the alchemy. I was here about 12 mins before they took my order.

they were making a lot of drinks. But then one of them took my card back to the register.  I thought he was going to put someone else’s drink on it because he still hadn’t taken my order. But we got it squared away. 

 

Start with the classics 

 

spicy chipotle pineapple martini...in the wrong glass.

Side note someone tried to buy someone else a drink on their cheers and was denied.

[Saint Greg]

Perfect storm. Again weird. He got sidetracked

talking to a girl that sat down and never put the rosemary garnish in the drink. And hasn’t taken my card yet.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Finally took the card. Just in time to ring up another drink. Then I gotta go get ready for dinner.

Basil drop

I’ve always said the library should be a bar

I'm thinking pepper spray would be ineffective.

I’m streaming sports talk on a cruise...live.

Oh my...there’s a loud young urchin next door. I haven’t heard it until just now. Is it visiting? Was it sedated yesterday?
