Professional-ish skaters doing stuff along with a loose story line. That is what you need reservations for (or not, may be stand by availability). I don't know about any games at the rink. They did have some ice skating sessions available when we were on. First come, first serve. Check the daily schedule. My teens went. You need long pants. Quest is held in Studio B... The skating venue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally a piece of beef that is not half fat. The roast beef sandwich I had last year looked just like that , glad we skipped CK for lunch, that was far superior. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad it was confirmed the solarium has made-to-order omelettes. Didn't realize it would be tricky to find. I will be honest...I have never been in the solarium bistro for any reason before LOL. Now I have a reason! You doubted me. 😮💨 Edited January 24, 2023 by Ocean Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW!! Sad, I have not seen Central Park looking so bad. Time to replant quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have French Onion Soup and Shrimp Cocktail offered on several nights, but not every night. I have not cruised in about 15 years, but it used to be that on Royal Caribbean, if you wanted something from the previous day's menu, all you had to do is ask. Is that no longer the case? (It was also unlimited filet mignon back then. My 8 year-old ordered filet mignon every night!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best beef on wick I ever had was at bar-bills outside Buffalo and they had one person hand carving them as fast and as thin as a machine, have seen that at some New York City delis also. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josue Elias, the owner, meets you right outside the security gate and sets you up with your own personal driver for the day. You can customize your trip with any add-on activities you want -- tour of the island (including chocolate and rum tours), monkeys and sloths, canopy ziplines, ATV or horseback riding, etc. In my case, since I've been there so much and my true love is snorkeling, he just takes me to the beach and I plop my bag on the sand and spend the day snorkeling. But there are also beach clubs where you can rent a lounger for the day for $15-$40 per person plus food/drinks a la carte. (Higher price is for the Infinity Bay resort, which includes a big pool.) @brillohead, sorry to bother, but also planning for a day in Roatan (never been there) and love to snorkel. We were looking at Infinity Bay given we'll have others in the party that would like to lounge by the beach/pool and I was hoping to snorkel offshore there with our older boys. Is your recommended snorkeling spot near there / walkable? We'll have at least 8 in our party and maybe 11. I'm assuming there may be a more cost effective way to just get to Infinity Bay / West Bay Beach for a large group vs. $20pp, but would love any insights there as well. Appreciate you both tag teaming on this live review, fun to re-live our recent trip on Allure (we were also on the frigid return to Galveston when all the CP plants were damaged). They did try to cover and even remove some of those "planters" to take indoors, but obviously it wasn't enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you contact Josue Elias through his website, he can discuss group rates for transportation -- he's very easy to work with, and you can customize it to include a tour of the island, or a stop at the big ROATAN letters for pictures, etc. The snorkeling area is indeed close to Infinity Bay, and even Bananarama or Paradise Beach Club are very close walking distance (and cheaper than Infinity Bay). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted January 25, 2023 Author #373 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Tonight's menu is supposed to be "Italian Night": Tonight's bread bowl: Polenta fries (which were actually triangles, but they were tasty): Caesar salad: Chicken parmesan for my entree, with a side of broccoli that would have fed an entire rugby team: And chocolate hazelnut cake for dessert: I normally get the lemon curd tartlet for dessert, but last week it was kinda bland, which really defeats the whole point of being LEMON flavored, so I went with the cake this week. Back to my room to do some reading before turning in -- I have a long day of snorkeling planned for Roatan tomorrow -- and I was sooooooooo happy to see that little light turn green and hear the "click" when my key card opened my room door tonight!
