Linda’s NY Strip Steak was barely 1/2 inch, pathetic. My chocolate donut at breakfast was even smaller and same with the hash browns. On Jewel last month we didn't even bother going to the MDR on Lobster Night, we knew we would be disappointed we just did another night at the Windjammer. Went around 7:15 after the rush died down and had a nice peaceful dinner. Always see the cruise director and some of their staff in there at that time since that is when they eat after the 7pm show starts. The whole thing about eating/ordering one entree at a time in the MDR is like they are treating us like children. 😞 is crazy.

We also still had stateroom service 2 times a day on our first week.🤔 But we were definitely offered (and accepted) the 2nd tail. We had our stateroom serviced 2x daily on Bella. However, we were not offered a 2nd lobster tail. We usually shower twice daily. Not sure if we should get morning or afternoon (night?) service. Either way we'll have wet towels in the bathroom until they can be replaced and yes we like fresh towels with every shower. What time do they usually make the room up in the afternoon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwp10mm Posted October 27, 2023 #878 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Some food pics from Quantum. Three nights I was brought multiple entrees at the same time. I only ordered a second one on lobster night. Not sure why I got special treatment. It was our 30th Anniversary. But I think it has more to do with the limited number of top tier on the cruise. We are Diamond and got a free backstage tour of the show area on the last sea day. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack ordered 2 shrimp cocktails and had to wait quite a bit after the 1st one came out for the 2nd one to appear. Way after he was finished with the 1st one. Wouldn't the wait staff save time if both were served together? I don't enjoy eating by their rules. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted October 27, 2023 Author #882 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Revenge of the Lobsters. So after getting my teeny, weeny lobster tail last night in the MDR I was looking forward to lunch at the beach club with the gang and getting a lobster at CocoCay Beach Club. We end up having a guest with us. We got the usual appetizers then came the surf and turf. The steak and lobster were excellent. Then came a great surprise. More lobsters. One plate of two. Then came another. Everyone was happy. I ended up with three. Each one had twice the amount of meat as the one in the MDR. I was happy as a clam…oh I mean lobster. Finish off with a delicious chocolate brownie and I full and satisfied. Perfect lunch for a perfect day. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is not extra towels but being in the cabin with wet towels on the bathroom floor for an extended time. Yuck. Space in there is small enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just hang them over the clothes line or I actually carry a folding laundry hanger so they weren’t lying around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 2 lobster tails since Jack doesn't eat lobster. They do seem to get smaller and smaller. I love the version of Jolene with Dolly singing it with Miley Cyrus. Miley’s voice adds a blues-y quality that is great with the song. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Lomas Posted October 27, 2023 #889 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Just seeing this thread now and skimming through it quickly. Happy Anniversary. It was wonderful meeting you on the March cruise we did together. Hopefully, our paths will cross again. Til then, have a drink for me (I am sure you already did that) and have a wonderful cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare laurieal Posted October 27, 2023 #890 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The food looks delicious! Are there paved paths on Coco Cay or is it just sand everywhere? (now I have to go and make my own dinner and it's making me a little sad) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little windy on the beach but the beach club was nice and clam as it has a lot of trees around it. 24 minutes ago, Russ Lomas said: Just seeing this thread now and skimming through it quickly.

We usually shower before dinner and we eat at the first seating of traditional dining, usually 5:30 pm. We ask for night service for 530ish. Our guy was there every night as we're leaving for dinner so towels didn't sit on floor for long. I don't think they do afternoon room cleaning. I think it is morning or evening. Just ask your room Stewart for preferred time when you first meet them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the towels at the beach club, much better than standard blue towels onboard. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we could be, but this annoying thing called work/employment keeps getting in the way of my travel time. One day.... We have not been on the Adventure yet (one booked but cancelled due to the Covid shut down - 12 hours before boarding was to occur). Loved Tortola and wished RCCL went there more often. Had our last planned visit there in 2017, but hurricane Maria had something to say about that. Have not been to St. Croix yet either, but look forward to it on our New Year 2024/25 cruise on the Adventure (fingers crossed). Our next RCCL cruise is not til next summer on part of the world cruise. I do not suppose you are on that one, are you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a great price of $79 pp for our September cruise. We, also, had a couple of lobsters and filet mignon. Delicious!! My next sailing beach club is selling for $179 pp. No thank you. Love the area but not worth that much, IMO. Hope to see Black Friday sales figure people are going to want to check out new Adult only beach area so beach club sales May happen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
