We cruised on EX 4 times when it was in NJ but haven't been on Voyager class since. Will be on AD in early 2025. We used to go up and look down on the bridge when the curtains were open. Not really much to watch lol. Usually just a couple of officers sitting/standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember stumbling upon it while looking for an empty lounger. Carnival had a topless deck. I don't remember Royal ever having it. It also was hard to "stumble upon" as it was on a very top deck with signs at the bottom of the outside stairs clearly saying it was topless and only for 18 and above. Only accessible via that one set of stairs. Edited July 18, 2023 by BND 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longislandcruisers Posted July 18, 2023 #136 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I’m 65 so this is going back, but they would make a real caesar salad tableside It was in a wooden bowl with Dijon mustard and anchovies. Also baked Alaska. I guess with the flames it is a no no today, but it was a nice end to a dining experience. The maitre’d used to cut the protein (meat) dishes served to our daughters. The food in the main dining room was good. Now we don’t set foot in there. Times …they are a’ changing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted July 19, 2023 #139 Share Posted July 19, 2023 My next cruise is not in a suite, and I will miss the twice a day cleaning. No, I am not a slob… but I really did enjoy coming into a made up bed in the afternoon, and a turned down bed after dinner. Next cruise is with my mom though, so I’m sure she’ll ensure we’ll make up our beds 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
