I just got the iPhone 11, and can’t wait to try out the camera on my Glory cruise February 2! I heard the pics will be so much clearer and better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd LOVES them and they are doing way more rock songs than previous ones we have seen. We loved the violinists on our last cruise! So great, just sipping a pre-dinner cocktail in lobby and listening to them. 😎🍸 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a nice looking room you got there. I’m guessing the internet is pretty solid with your video uploads. It is def the updated internet. To be honest did a bunch from a bar in Cozumel whete it was much faster. Thanks for following along. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfleer Posted January 8, 2020 #161 Share Posted January 8, 2020 We are currently booked for the early dining which says 6 online (and this is early for us to eat dinner, but 8:15 is too late!). 5:45 seems so early. I'd be afraid of missing dinner because of excursions. I am not a fan of eating dinner at the buffet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when someone tells you to eat. It opens at 5:45, but you eat whenever you want, early or late, or somewhere in between.

They are in their 5th week of the trial of these times, we think it works better, what are your thoughts? They did this switch when we sailed Miracle to Alaska. We're fans of early dining, but 5:30 was early for us. By the time we found out they were changing it was too late to switch to YTD even though we're Platinum. We lived with 5:30 - not the end of the world. However, if they're thinking of making this switch across the fleet on a permanent basis we'll try to change our early seating on Legend next year to YTD.

I don't know if this is possible on all ships or we just lucked out, but on my Vista Christmas Cruise we had anytime dining and went on the first day and requested a table of 8 and were able to keep our same table, time, and waiter the entirety of the cruise. With that said, we ate as soon as the dining room opened in order to make the early shows. But we were also traveling with my parents who were in their 70s and 80s and my kids who are 5 and 7 so bed time was 9 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have had a couple of times where I've been a little later getting to dinner and they've given my table to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last February on Horizon, we had 8:15 seating and never got out before 9:30 unless we skipped dessert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We initially were looking at the previous weeks sailing, but chose this one for three reasons. The first was my brother was returning from ip north where he had been for the holidays and the timing till embark was tight. The second was there was much more room availability for the next week including our fav rooms Vista suites. The third reason was it was considerably cheaper. We scooped up 2 Vista suites, one on 4 and one on 7 both starboard side. We gave the 4th floor to my brother and his wife and took 7. Jimbo, you gave our deck 4 Vista, starboard (4237) from our Alaska cruise to your brother! Now you won't find the surprise I hid there for you!! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
