So much better than the water in a can. I liked the cans with the screw tops that they had in January. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty big improvement to my mind. That is what I read, so that would be a good thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted March 7, 2022 Author #103 Share Posted March 7, 2022 8:30 am on a sea day, and towels have already found their way to every lounger in the Solarium. I found the only open one, up by the Solarium bar. Let’s hope it opens today 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to bring one along so I can see the time during the night if I wake up. Thanks! When I travel, I use an iPhone app called "The Clocks" (not to be confused with Apples built in "Clock") that gives me a clock face the size of my phone, with screen brightness that can be turned down pretty low, and stays on all night. I prop up my phone in landscape orientation on a night stand and find that it's better than any hotel clock. There are a lot of similar apps available but I like the simplicity of "The Clocks". I'm also sure that the time is right, so long as your phone properly changes/does not change time zones...a potential problem when cruising. That's not the case for hotels/cruise ships. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I used it now, my wife would just cover it, because she doesn’t want to know the time when she wakes up in the middle of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted March 7, 2022 Author #107 Share Posted March 7, 2022 This is what the app says about the Solarium bar. it is 2 hours after it is supposed to open, and it looks like this. Servers walk by the hot tub about once per hour. They must have a staffing problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted March 7, 2022 Author #108 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I have found that the Sand bar is less busy than the pool bar. Maybe that is because it is closer to the kiddie pool. I did finally get a kraken lava flow. Tasty Day drinking has started. For some reason, we haven’t used all our drink vouchers the first two days. I have to work harder today. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to post a video of the waves today, but the internet is not cooperating. Do they still serve you in the Windjammer or is it back to self serve?

Rare sergel02 Posted March 7, 2022 #111 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I was surprised with the plastic bottles for water since so many lines have gone with the aluminum ones, which are fine IMO, and more sustainable. Dining as been a bit confusing trying to figure out, I’ll admit. We had to wait for a credit so by the time we could book, we only had MyTime Dining. When we looked up reservations they were all around 830PM and later which I’d a bit late for us. Are options for the dining room are to wait around 630PM and after on Deck 3’s restaurant and hopefully we can get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted March 7, 2022 Author #112 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The two forward pools are netted and chained today, because of the wave action, but the loungers are all filled. The kiddie pool is open 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that their choice in bottled/canned water is partly about sustainability but probably more about supply chain ability at this point. They may be taking what they can get. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo807 Posted March 7, 2022 #116 Share Posted March 7, 2022 @h20skibum Do you happen to know (or can you find out) what the age separations (example, 3-5, 6-8, 9-11, etc) are for Adventure Ocean on Allure? And have they removed the limitations on the number of hours you can reserve/go each sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wonder is missing some things I heard because of supply chain issues (bed skirts or something). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think it was too bad. You seemed to taste each of them in layers. I told Susan I was going to stop for a Boston Ice tea before dinner, and she said I would be wasted by the time I got there. Sounds like a challenge. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is with a QR code that opens the menu on your phone in the app. Well I guess I might be able to access that in my trip planner for my upcoming trip? I really appreciate you trying. Tnx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
