Rare John&LaLa Posted June 18, 2022 Author #276 Share Posted June 18, 2022 At Chops Reservation for 6:15. Arrived 5 til 6:00. Jammer not yet open, so I had to walk thru the line outside. Interesting Back part not full yet. Got a window seat, but shades are down Apps Mains Got bread for the photo opportunity 😉 Pork Belly. Not the usual cut Very little fat, but I make it better😉 Food is coming at a rockets pace Probably because I'm solo Wedge Salad Titos and cranberry.

Rare John&LaLa Posted June 18, 2022 Author #277 Share Posted June 18, 2022 You know, I really don't understand wedge salad. The dressing is concentrated on the bitter core. Next up, Rack of Lamb. Medium Rare. I'll send it back if not phenomenal 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Yes! That would be logical and make sense. Plus, eliminate some confusion & unhappy customers who think unlimited means, you know, unlimited. But maybe they think each ship, each sailing, needs its own "personality". Also, it goes against the RCI motto of Really Consistently Inconsistent. 😁 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a little wordy. 😄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted June 18, 2022 Author #283 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Funny story. Noticed my supplemental tip from Chops lunch never showed up on my folio. Asked the Chops host and she said it likely got lost. She brought my server over, and she confirmed. She wad tickled that I mentioned it, and I authorized a replacement charge. Right thing to do 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is some vague, legalese fine print that's open to broad interpretation buried deep in the Cruise Planner that'll give them an out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what it says on mine. I still would like clarification with Royal if it is truly unlimited. To me that means if I want to schedule two dinners a night I can. Not saying I would but I could see having dinner at one restaurant and dessert let’s say at Wonderland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote and asked and they actually said they have no written poliy they leave it up to each ship if they want to refund unused port fees. Who can be surprised that each ship decides what unlimited dining means. Good thing John isnt a bigger eater. And only has 3 days to eat as much as he can.

Twice I paid for caymans and jamaica which cost more than costa maya and Belize. Then we also missed costa maya. So far 0 ports fees refunded. I kept a copy of the letter to mbayley and sent a copy to my travel agent. Each ship decides. Just a matter of luck. Wouldnt change my cruises but dont have to like their whatever each ship wants to do policy. I can give you a copy too ..true. But mea while back to enjoying your shows, drinks and eats ... though I dont think I'd like lamb ribs. They looked good and I'm glad you liked them. I want a lobster roll.

Not having a company policy on missed ports is crazy. I also don't understand how RCI can legally keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted June 19, 2022 Author #300 Share Posted June 19, 2022 In Schooner for Espresso Martini 😋 But no espresso😪 Chocolate it is. But without syrup. Pretty much just Bailey's and vodka. Maybe some Kahlua, not sure. Hung out in cabin for awhile waiting on phone to charge. Watched the building of Freefom. And wouldn't you know, saw them building the photo shop and saw the missing stairs.🤣 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
