Rare Steelers0854 Posted January 19, 2020 Author #52 Share Posted January 19, 2020 We walked through the spa as we wanted to sign up for some treatments. DW is a huge proponent of acupuncture after having done 10 years ago for motion sickness. She felt like she needed a turn up and I love getting a massage on board. So we did the normal tour thing and signed up for services. I forgot how large and beautiful the spa is on the Royal Class ships. We just did an Aqua Class cruise on the Celebrity Summit. Their Persian Gardens doesn’t hold a candle to the Enclave on the Royal. But I’m not sure it’s a fair comparison as the ships are vastly different in size and age.

richsea Posted January 19, 2020 #55 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Enjoying following along. We are boarding on the 26th & got an email today regarding pier 21 boarding. We were on Regal for her repo from NYC, and found wifi to be the best we’ve ever had. Granted, we did not stream any shows, but had no problems with pages loading the whole 10 days. I agree about the layout of daily activities on their app; very clumsy. But it’s nice that you can bookmark events to make them easy to find. Have a great cruise!

Rare Steelers0854 Posted January 20, 2020 Author #61 Share Posted January 20, 2020 We had early seating, which was a 5:15 start time. We have a table for 2 this cruise. We don’t really mind sharing a table, so can go either way on this. After we sat we asked to speak with a head waiter, Jose, and he came over straightaway. DW was very happy with how they handled her allergies. She can order anything she wants off the menu and they will do everything they can to make it for her. She was excited she wasn’t going to eat chicken and rice like she did on Carnival. She got really excited when Jose said the chef would make her a special dessert ever night. Tonight was obviously a little Different since they couldn’t plan ahead but they had no problems doing a salad, prime rib, And dry baked potato. I got the butterflied shrimp, ceviche, a salad and the mussels. Everything was ok, not great. I did have a bite of DWs prime rib and it was excellent. I don’t normally take pictures of my food at home, lol, so it takes me a day or two to get in the swing of things on the cruise. So sorry for some missing (or late) food photos! sorry, this is an aftermath photo, but hey it basically looked the same as when it cam out! For dessert DW got a fruit plate and I got the hazelnut soufflé. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Steelers0854 Posted January 20, 2020 Author #62 Share Posted January 20, 2020 After dinner we headed to the Princess Theater for tonight’s show. I’ll tell you one thing. The shows in Celebrity were darn near empty every night. Here, the theater is half full with 20 minutes til show time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never found them to be light and airy like most cupcakes; rather, pretty dense. Confession time: on my recent two weeks on the Sky, I licked the icing off one of the daily cupcakes each day, but never ate any of the cupcakes themselves, aside from the first day. 😁. Really enjoyed the orange flavoured icing. Edited January 20, 2020 by h-sar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can always find something to eat but the deserts for me are meh! Edited January 20, 2020 by Reader0108598 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Steelers0854 Posted January 20, 2020 Author #67 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Here is an internet speed update. This was last night at 7pm Here is today at 8am you can see some pretty dramatic swings. But the current speed is a lot better than most people get at home so kuddos to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
