At least they have Kraken! If you ever get a chance to run into a bar manager or the food and bev mgr. I would for you to ask them about the liquor shortages. I suspect that it is supply chain issues but I'm more interested in when they think they will get fully stocked. When we were on Explorer this past November and they had no problems with liquor but then again that was shortly after the restart of cruising.

I certainly will ask but remember that the answer might be ship specific especially for the Oasis because it’s homeport is NJ right now and they get their stuff in NJ. It might be different on the Symphony. The situation with the wine is worse… I am willing to pay more for better wine by the glass but most are not available but they have the basic wine covered by the package. Again this is why I don’t buy the package. Selection is poor right now price is high. I bring a bottle of wine onboard, use my coupons and buy anything else I might want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I reach Diamond I’ll need the package. Just hoping there will be a good selection by this September. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had seafood salad after bingo. Better than my lame Windjammer lunch. I might be eating lunch solo rest of cruise since I refuse to go to the zoo oh I mean Windjammer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted June 25, 2022 Author #210 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Day 2 Solarium Dinner The only thing they cook to order now is the lamb and the chicken… personally it’s a mistake because the fish gets very dry under the heat lamp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max and Ruby Posted June 26, 2022 #223 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Maybe I need tutoring on the app, but I hope Compass never goes away , especially because all of these important notices don’t seem to be on app! Like the notice that you need to bring your vaccination card ashore to Port Canaveral today. Or the “ scan the QR code to fill out departure information “. Interestingly the only notice I saw in app and Compass is that nightly the crew will be sanitizing and fogging the hallways from 3:30-5:00 am. So they ask that you stay in rooms. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max and Ruby Posted June 26, 2022 #224 Share Posted June 26, 2022 @John&LaLa so far I have only been losing weight on this cruise. The crowded ship has me saying “ screw it” when it comes it eating!! I’m sure that will change tomorrow when I have Chops for dinner. 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
