Will be interesting to see if anything has changed. I have a boarding time of 1pm for Mariner. Not sure if I want to leave early to deal with whatever they have decided to do with parking, since Mariner leaves terminal 5 tonight, and probably returns to terminal 1 on Monday. Im sure we are parking T5 and shuttling back over from T1 on Monday. UGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently RCI is "renting" that space from Carnival due to having an unusual 3 RCI ships in port today. We are B2B coming back for TAD to T5, then again off the second leg to T5. At least we are withing walking distance of both terminals. But does make me wonder where they will park those of us on Jewel...assuming T6 then have to walk over from T5 when we come back in. At least indeed.....better than that shuttling over. 😮 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others represent French, Italian, American, Caribbean, Mexican, nights. This is the 6th one, perhaps? Thank you for posting this new menu. Unfortunately it just confirms the rumours I've been hearing about Royal lately. I hear that some big cruise line corporation just ordered hundreds of thousands of plant based biodegradable cutlery sets that can handle foods like cod, turkey, pasta, stuffed peppers and chicken. Don't worry about any waist, as I hear we'll be getting one set of cutlery at check-in which will last the entire cruise. Newly designed lanyards that can fit cutlery sets will available on board for the low, low price of $59.95. (Psst. The extra time the room stewards will need to wash our cutlery is the real reason the cruise line is moving to once per day cabin service. 😉) And that * beside the New York Strip is for the new $19.95 plus 18% gratuity for a 2 hour rental of a steak knife. Eat fast everybody! 😁 Edited January 6, 2023 by DirtyDawg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver2014 Posted January 6, 2023 #204 Share Posted January 6, 2023 The menu sounds good to me. As long as I can get my shrimp cocktail and Creme Brulee, I'm happy. The entrees sound good too. I wonder if Wonder of the Seas will have the new menu next week..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I am much more of a gelato fan. Ben and Jerry's does their best. They are a close second. Haagan-Dazs is very creamy but lacking in flavor. Tillamook is somehow too sweet, although their cheese is amazing. I feel genuine sympathy for those who don't have access to Blue Bell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have access to straight from the dairy farm ice cream. Everything else pales in comparison.

Well, I think pool towels will be put up for rental but you won't be able to sit around the pool or utilize the pool unless you rent the towel(s), $15.95 an hour for a minimum of 3 hours. Soft serve ice cream will continue to be free/included but a $5.99 charge for a cone or biodegradable bowl will be charged (cutlery already discussed above, post #203). All food in the included venues will remain free/included however all plates and glasses (cutlery as stated in post #203) will have to be carried by the user to the washy washy washy area and washed by the user, and returned to the table for the next user, optional pay for service available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it appears that you are onboard a RCCL ship right now and you are a fan of wine, I'd like for you to check something for me (my wife, actually), please. My wife is not a big alcohol drinker. However, my oldest daughter introduced her to Stella Rosa wines, I think she just woke a sleeping monster, LOL. My wife really like the fruit flavored wines like the Watermelon, Mango, and especially Blueberry, et al. So, please let me know if RCCL carries it and if they carry it regularly. I just want the boring Burgundy, dry, and room temp wine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, lesson learned. However, not sure if doing it right as I chose Jan.14 sail and I only get is the kid's menu 🤣and followed by a ton of wines. Looked at the subsequent week's sail and same kid's menu for all of the 7 nights. Will try again tomorrow hopefully with better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other sailing will show the new menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
