Serenade OTS Review: Nov 8 - 13, 2021

Quick question. Did you save any of the dailies? I’m considering the ultimate dining package since my wife has never been a fan of the main dining room or buffets. I’m curious if the specialty restaurants were really open for lunch on the sea days.

The opening times should be listed in the RCI app.

That is a great tip! Looks like all three specialty restaurants are open on sea days!

I have the dailies.  I posted them here: http://susancrow.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

These are great thanks! BTW I see they mention the seagrass in the dailies. Did you stop by the beach in Costa Maya? If so, how bad was the sea grass?

Yes, we got day passes at Jaime's at the Blue Reef in Costa Maya.  I posted some pictures here if you want to get an idea of what the beach/water was like.  I did not think the sea grass was bad at all.  There is a net stretched across to keep seaweed out too.  The water was pretty shallow though.

Costa Maya looks as good as it did when we were the in March of 2020. I forgot how pretty the Serenade is. We haven’t cruised her since 2005.
