For big games, we'd do group shots after TDs. Not much of that lately. ☹️ While the shots themselves are kinda tasty (and low in alcohol), I don't think it would mix well with pineapple juice. Yuck. But I appreciate Greg that you sacrificed yourself and tried it for the rest of us. 🍹👍 I love Peanut Butter. I can eat it every day (I don't), any time of day, on anything and with anything. However, a drink it is not.🤮 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted October 23, 2023 Author #552 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Time to sweat out those toxins. Sauna Steam I love the fact that Adventure of the Seas has a complimentary Sauna and Steam rooms. I don’t know if I got all the alcohol toxicity out of my system but it can’t hurt. Felt great. Note: No selfie as you don’t want to see me naked. 😉 Edited October 23, 2023 by Sea Dog 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted October 23, 2023 Author #553 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Duty Free Alcohol. Nothing that I can’t get in my hometown. Really only good if you want to save on sales tax.

Only thing I ever buy is Johnny Walker Gold depending on price, good thing is they are normally liters not fifths . On high end suites on celebrity they give you two liters of your choice, I still have some in liquor cabinet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted October 23, 2023 Author #558 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Very crowded on our second sea day on decks 11 and 12. Pro Tip: Go past Sky Bar and climb stairs to above front bow of the ship seating. Plenty of seating. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValerieJo Posted October 23, 2023 #563 Share Posted October 23, 2023 So glad you are all having a great time. We were gone for a couple of days, so I finally caught up. Wish we would have been able to join you all. I saw that you aren't a Gin drinker, I'm not really either. However, I would recommend trying "The Botanist" gin. It's lighter and very refreshing with some tonic (or diet tonic). If you have the drink package, it's a great time to try something new. If you don't care for it, nothing lost. As the others have said, regarding your eloquently stated editorial, this definitely needs to be sent to the powers that be. Maybe include a copy in your post cruise survey as well. Looking forward to reading the rest of your review. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My time is a terrible choice imo on royal. It's only good if you want to eat later. After 6:30 pm . .on all ships my time is like this. I'm surprised you didnt know actually. I booked my time once and not since on royal Before covid it was so much better, they had one floor of the dining room strictly for MTD so you never had to go through everything you have to now. I still prefer my time but I really wish they would go back to the old way of doing it to alleviate all the lines. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to sit at a table with a cloth, be handed a menu and be served my dinner…accompanied by a sommelier. Fine for those who do. Until last year I hadn't sailed Celebrity in 6 years and really enjoyed the MDR service. On all 3 recent cruises I have been fortunate with the sommelier service. My husband does not drink alcohol ever but I do like to order wine with dinner. I like to try different vintages and wines from other regions when I'm cruising and the sommeliers all were very knowledgeable and even brought me "samples" to try. I think DH was getting a little jealous of the attention I was getting! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still prefer my time but I really wish they would go back to the old way of doing it to alleviate all the lines. I wish they would take some lessons from carnival. Everyone on rcl hates carnival and carnival posters hate rcl I get it. On carnival on newest class anytime dining gets some free one time only extra choices. When I want to eat I push a button and they too have a dedicated floor for anytime diners. The computer matches me to a table and I take my app and show it to someone who leads me to a table. For lunch or brunch works better, as there is also a share button. Mostly for dinner others dont want to share but for earlier meals they like to share. So if I push both the button to eat now and the share button, I push 2 buttons while I'm sitting somewhere, not standing in a line. I did 3 carnival after covid then did royal. What a disappointment royal was for anytime where they try and fit people in. If they encouraged anytime they would probably not have so many empty seats at fixed times. Royal is so lame for anytime. Anytime means eat when I want. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite spots. I like the quietness and lack of crowds. Never had a chair hog issue. The only downsides is the "long" walk to the bar and sometimes it can get a bit breezy, especially if the ship is cruising at high speed.
