tha sista Posted January 19, 2008 #1701 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi all, Just wondering if you can sit alone in the dining room on formal nights, or do you have to sit at a table with others. I have read that you can request to sit at a private table. Is this true? I frequently travel with just me and another person and don't really want to share a table, so as soon as I get on the ship, I see the matre dei and ask for a table for two and have never been turned down.

OK-Cruiser Posted January 20, 2008 #1702 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I haven't see this one- The water in the pools and jacuzzis is salt water. I know this may seem kind of dumb, but on our last cruise one of our traveling companions swam in the pool and when he came out, he exclaimed (along with a few choice words not to be repeated) that his eyes burned like hell. I call this the "Duh!" tip.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltmom1 Posted January 23, 2008 #1704 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I do not know if this should be considered a given bu there are Cruise Critic log books on most the ships... usually in the libraries. A chance to add your comments to the book...Look for that topic here or on the old broads if you need to know where for your respective ship. Nancy ROFLMAO !!!!!! I'm laughing so hard I'm CRYING !

Dem&Mag Posted January 25, 2008 #1708 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! All of you this was great and worth every page of the reading. Me and the DW are heading out in 29 days for our first ever cruise and I really got some great tips here. To the people who broke out the cost of the soda card, thank you, that was one thing I was wondering about. I have one more question about the soda options on teh Glory, does anyone know what sodas are offerd? Thanks Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ince4150 Posted January 27, 2008 #1718 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I apologize but I did read all 86 pages and I don't remember seeing the breakdown on soda card vs the bon voyage tickets, etc. would you mind repeating the info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoredyess Posted January 27, 2008 #1719 Share Posted January 27, 2008 The people that work in the Dining room remember everything!!! My wife likes lemon with her water and drinks it with a straw. I like milk with desert and have a hard time chosing desert. The second night we sat down for dinner, my wife had a saucer plate full of lemons with a straw next to her knife. When desert came, an ice cold glass of milk was followed by one of every desert and a promise for seconds of whatever I liked!! Amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomoredyess Posted January 27, 2008 #1721 Share Posted January 27, 2008 What?!! No deli??? I keep hearing folks rave about the rueben sandwiches, and I thought on the Sensation. Man, I had the whole family worked up and ready for ruebens. I would swear I have read about them in some reviews. Was I just hallucinating cornbeef? Free room service delivers sandwiches, chips, salads and deserts delivered in 15 min!! Just tip a few bucks to the delivery guy and you dont even have to leave the rm!!

Cheriesellshomes Posted January 27, 2008 #1723 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I just love this and it has worked every time. When you are going on a snorkeling excursion, get several of the cereal boxes at breakfast(Frosted Flakes work best). Before you get in the water, take the "waterproof" wax bags out of the boxes and take them in with you. When you want the fish to come close, for great pics etc., tear the corner off the little bags and squeeze you have great fish food. :) Just remember to tuck the empty bags in your swim suit to return to the boat and don't leave them behind in the water. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
