@BirdTravels Thank you so much for the Schooner drink menu. Question, they used to have a drink called the "Baton Rouge" which was made with rum and cognac, I did not see it on your posted menu. Happen to know if they still serve it? It's a great cocktail.

Do you a Red Stick recipe?  Sounds great.

@BirdTravels, enjoying your review. In preparation  for my cruise next week, I wonder if you could ask a bartender if they have caffeine free diet Coke. Otherwise, I may have to bring my own.

Awhile back there was a question about the jogging track. And a question about “socially distant” chair hogs. No problems getting a lounger on a sea day. (Yeah,,,, there are a few people on the ship with the Bird)

Not sure I know what you mean by Red Stick? Here is a pic of the menu from Harmony's Schooner Bar that had the ingredients in a "Baton Rouge" cocktail.  It was really good.

Good Morning Adventure of the Seas!

 

After two relaxing beach days, it is time for a relaxing sea day. 
 

Who else cried when they saw this picture?    So happy for all who are sailing!!  Just a few weeks and I'll be leaving on my 118th cruise!  Been too long... Thanks, Bird, for making me cry!!  So happy (and jealous) for you!

Since it's a sea day, do you mind grabbing a screen grab of the MDR lunch menu (if they are even offering it)?

Not sure what he means either but Baton Rouge is French for Red Stick.

This probably sounds like a ridiculous question, but what brand of tea are they offering on board these days? I'm kind of particular about my tea, and have been disappointed in the past with what they've offered.

 

Do they still have coffee and tea available during the day, outside of meal times?

I went to LSU.  We call Baton Rouge Red Stick.

Sorry if I have missed this,  but what is the logic behind not having the windjammer open for dinner? Surely having another venue open for dinner would only help to space people out and improve social distancing ?

Since the WJ food is served by waitstaff, we are assuming they need the wait staff in the MDR and other speciality dining options during the dinner hour.      Plus with only a 1000 passengers onboard they probably don't want to cook all the food for the WJ buffet and have a lot go to waste.

So,,, there is no “dress code”. At formal dinner last night, the table next to us and another in our section were T-shirt and shorts tables. There was zero formal attire in the entire restaurant that we could see (and we were looking because of this question). No one is going to judge you. You paid as much for your stateroom as they did. You are on Vacation. Enjoy. 

 

On FB post, I saw the Pope decked out in MDR. Looked like his formal outfit🤣🤣

Noontime lunch crowd in the MDR

The Royal Caribbean Online Internet cafe is the place to go to connect with folks back home.

The Library encourages the use of touch less reading. 

[BirdTravels]

Next Cruise is busy booking more cruises now that guests feel confident and safe with our Adventure cruise.
 

But they encourage touchless brochures

HA! They should just cover that up with a "Go to www.royalcaribbean.com for more information on our wonderful cruise options including BOGO!!"

In my experience with browsing royalcaribbean.com on board ship, I always seem to hear the AOL dial-up noise coming from somewhere in the room.

[BirdTravels]

Like all venues, the Card Room has limited seating, with many tables blocked for social distancing.

The Royal Promenade is the busy thoroughfare on the ship with shops filled with guests with a pent up demand to shop on the seas.
