There are several restaurants right there in the port area - just a short walk. Fishlips, Grills and Rusty's are all good. I hope that there will be a launch this evening. I will be out on our condo balcony to watch. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. After this cruise, Oasis will be here on Tuesday and will dock at terminal 1, where Wonder is today. We have gotten off and gone to Grills. Good food, nice view. We have a house in Orlando and often wander to Jetty Park to watch the ships leave. Here was Oasis coming in a few weeks ago: Edited August 6, 2023 by mac_tlc 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayportkat Posted August 6, 2023 #54 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I am so excited to follow this live! We board on Sunday when you disembark! I have a question about the MDR- when we signed up it was listed at 5:30, but I have heard that it is now 5pm. In the app, I see it as 5:30 in the menu section and 5:00 in my personal planner. Do you know if dinner is at 5 or 5:30? I am really hoping they are flexible and we can eat at 5:30 if they changed it after our booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayportkat Posted August 6, 2023 #57 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Thanks! I guess we will have to make some adjustments to some plans. When I look at the menus in the app (only listed on Main Dining Room 5 at this point) it says early is 5:30-5:45. I assume it will change sometime this week. Enjoy your trip!!

We are happy with the MDR thus far. It has been served at the correct temperature and all of our group of 6 adults have been pleased. We have especially enjoyed the nightly curry dish. We have not set foot in the Windjammer and the plan is to not. We really dislike the number of people and the endless searching for a table, especially if I am pushing my DW in the wheelchair. There are enough other options without it. mac_ tlc Edited August 7, 2023 by mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye out in the channel as there are several dolphins that frequent the area. I hope that there will be a launch this evening. I will be out on our condo balcony to watch. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. Looks like the launch has been delayed to at least 10:41pm. We are on our way and I’ll see it on the TV tomorrow😜. mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted August 7, 2023 Author #61 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) The first Aqua80 show was tonight. The standby line went all the way past the carousel. They started lining up at about 7:30 for the 8:25 show. I think they all got in. mac_tlc Edited August 7, 2023 by mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife uses a scooter and there is usually nothing available. They do have two tables available on each side as soon as you enter the WJ. Unfortunately, healthy people grab them or ignorant people just cover up the handicapped placard. And the staff doesn't do anything to help. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are early birds and I suggest arriving at the windjammer early. Also, Johnny Rockets serves breakfast both indoors and outdoors and is accessible. A nice change from the MDR.

Just too chaotic and I’ve witnessed too many disgusting behavior occurrences by passengers to enjoy it. Like you said, there are better options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far out breakfast routine has been: coffee and pastry from room service at 8, followed by brunch in the MDR around 10. Too bad there are no more scheduled brunches in the MDR, only at Solarium Bistro. Especially on sea days, the 9:30 cutoff for breakfast in the MDR is too early. Solarium Bistro lunch is until 1:30pm, so that will do. mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted August 7, 2023 Author #70 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Welcome to Nassau! A few of our group are getting off but I am not one of them. We have been watching the pier construction for a couple years now, looks like it’s about done. Glad they have covered areas for the half mile walk to town. And a nice area for the excursions to leave from: Edited August 7, 2023 by mac_tlc 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed the piano guy, too. It was my go to place as it was pretty quiet and you could actually get a seat. We were at capacity - so many kids (including my grandkids) as it was a family cruise too. We like Mirko in the Schooner Bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
