mooshipalmdale Posted February 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Wondering when you first come aboard, are the bars open? Any restaurants open beside the buffet and do you know their hours? Our cruise is only one week away! So excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacation44 Posted February 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Taste, Savor, The Local and American Diner will be open for lunch as well as the Haven restaurant for Haven passengers. The American Diner is not a free dining venue except for Haven passengers for lunch on embarkation day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcats40 Posted February 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2023 When we boarded, they gave us a paper with information on which places were open for lunch and times. I remember one of the smaller, complimentary dining rooms (Taste and Savor) was open as was the buffet. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinmeme Posted February 22, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Keep in mind the taste and savor is only open from like noon-1:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitheroo Posted February 26, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2023 With the drinks package we had (dont know if they are all the same but they probably are) we had to pay a 10% surcharge on drinks in port. So for my $9.00 glass of wine I paid 92 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was part of the joke. I've often thought that if I have to tell somebody that it was a joke, it must not have been very funny. But, sometimes I wonder.....🤣 But seriously, those port taxes never add up to much of anything (and, contrary to other posters' opinions, I can assure you that I take FULL advantage of every minute of the beverage package). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
