The coffee machine and cold water was set out. Sometimes there was an attendant handing out the water and coffee. The Diamond lounge concierge was there also. That’s surprising. But, I guess, it makes sense for the concierge to be there in order to make reservations, etc. Were there times when you could make your own coffee?

cnssu123 Posted August 26, 2021 #177 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Hello! Thanks for all the great info thus far. Must be nice to be on such big ship and little people. We are sailing on 9/5. So I emailed my TA today to switch MTD to early seating. Thinking we can’t do MTD because of unvaccinated 2 yo. She then told me RCI said we can still do MTD 🤷🏻♀️. Would you be able to help confirm with MDR staffs if that’s true for 9/5 sailing? Would hate to sort out dinner time when on board. Always a long line. Thx!!

No breakfast set-up, no evening appetizers, etc. I will assume that means no coffee machine as well. Is that correct? Thanks. DL is staffed for coffee in the morning, but they are not setting out food for the simulation. They did say they will resume food in the morning for revenue cruises.

Bgwest Posted August 26, 2021 #180 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Is anyone able to address cabin assignments and categories that were assigned? Wife and I will be on the 9.17 Liberty sailing and haven’t yet heard anything about our cabin assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EllieinNJ Posted August 26, 2021 #181 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Are there long lines for MTD? My. Planner won't let me make reservations. I'm on the 10/17 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baowen Posted August 27, 2021 #185 Share Posted August 27, 2021 We saw the new Aqua80 show tonight. There were a few glitches but overall WOW!! Really great show. There was a great energy between the audience and performers. Beth IMG_4812.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watertraveler Posted August 27, 2021 #189 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Do passengers returning to the US still have to have a negative covid test in order to enter the country? How is that handled on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnynj Posted August 27, 2021 #190 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Question for anyone on the sim cruise....Which deck/where is the accessible seating in the Theater for Cats? My DH is in a wheelchair and just thought of this as I looked at your Compass posts. We will be on the Oct 24th sail. Thanks for taking us all along for the sailing! Glad you are having a great time. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were trying to fix it but are unable to at the moment. They should have it repaired before the next sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecslady Posted August 27, 2021 #193 Share Posted August 27, 2021 How has the air temp been on the ship? Too cold in venues, too warm, just right? Wondering if I should pack slacks and a sweater for the evening, or just stick to capris and short sleeves for my Sept 12th cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted August 27, 2021 #194 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Temp onboard has been okay. Every now and then there is a cold area but I bring my sweater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pool capacity is set at 9. It’s 86 degrees and humid. We ate at playmakers and wow the food is very good. The kitchen was slow but definitely worth the wait. The ship is feeling very empty and missing that party vibe. We went to Blaze last night for the stand up comedy and I would advise getting there early to avoid the seats in the back with a pole blocking their view. It was really annoying to sit through a whole show without actually seeing the comedian. I did see him later at the black jack table though. The Diamond lounge is open with the coffee machines going but there is staff there to run the machine. While you were at Playmakers, did you notice if they allowed anyone to sit at the bar?

nelblu Posted August 27, 2021 #198 Share Posted August 27, 2021 FYI: Got e-mail yesterday, that the Sept. 5 sail arrives in Port Canaveral at 2PM as opposed to the original 1PM. I guess, this makes up for leaving Bayonne 2 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on the planner previously but I waited to see what times the shows were on the test cruise and now it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
