  1. I think we saw 80-100K at one point. My FIL wouldn’t go for it though. Not sure if it was the money or sharing one suite with the fam though.
  2. I have done this for a while since we’ve never been MDR fans. I’d rather make a few stops at ELF or WJ or Park Cafe during the day (mostly ELF) and I don’t care that I’m not super hungry for dinner (unless we have specialty dining, then I save room).
  3. From looking at the cabin TV map, we’re pretty close to St. Thomas (but still doing 19.8 kts). I’m not well versed in this stuff, but we left CocoCay over 36 hours ago. I feel like we should be able to get to St. Thomas earlier just be going a tiny bit faster per hour over such a long way. Maybe I’m wrong or maybe others enjoy being in port from 12-7pm instead of 9-5 or whatever. Just some random thoughts. Off to breakfast, Solarium, etc.
  4. Backtracking… One comic was on our Allure cruise in October but fortunately we liked him (both times). 2nd comic, not so much. More often than not we seem to enjoy one out of the two for whatever reason.
  5. St. Thomas today but we don’t dock til like 12:30 so we’re staying on the ship, chilling in the Solarium, playing some trivia, & I need to catch up on my lack of ELF so far. CocoCay on day 2 and then stuffing myself at Mason Jar yesterday kinda took up the food intake. I’ll make up for it on the back half other than being on a long excursion tomorrow in St. Martin.
  6. CL shenanigans with the breakfast offerings. No chocolate croissants for my wife again… which is why I got her 3 the other day just in case (to keep some in the cabin). Also none of those custard danishes with the fruit this morning. No big deal, just sharing. Best CL in the fleet for coffee. They have two machines so one breaking isn’t an issue & love that you can make a double cappuccino that fills the whole cup. Haven’t been getting up crazy early so didn’t make my usual 6:30am Park Cafe run for either a McMuffin or bagel. Just grabbed a bagel & lox in the CL. They’re better freshly toasted at Park Cafe but oh well. I’m sure I’ll have an actual breakfast later after wife is done walking 5 miles.
  7. You know I don’t blame you. I won’t even drive to south Florida. So far Utopia is the only other ship that will have Mason Jar.
  8. Lol. It wasn’t a huge deal. There wasn’t a scene that reached your level of shenanigans or anything… they just needed to be told 2-3 times before accepting that there was a difference between Sky & Star.
  9. Suite snob story… we’re in the comedy club sitting right behind the reserved star class chairs. Two women in Sky Class seemed mildly perturbed that those seats weren’t for them.
  10. I promise there was no monkey in my wife’s pot pie.
  11. MDR was mediocre but we’re still a little full from Mason Jar so it’s fine. Didn’t bother taking pics. French onion soup was pretty bad, beef tenderloin was actually on the rare side how I wanted it & not bad at all, crème brûlée is what it is. We have a 2-top next to one other 2-top & have been chatting with a friendly couple. Tonight the woman asked me if I did a live blog from Wonder in June, lol. She read it at that other site (I cross posted that one, I’m loyal you guys now). Thought that was pretty crazy. She thanked me… but no tip. Oh well. Taking some professional pics so we can get our 2 freebies then going to adult comedy later. Early dining being at 5:00 is making us wait in crazy lines. When it was 5:30 we used to quickly take pics before dinner with almost no line.
  12. That was all my wife with her iPhone 15 Pro & photo skills. Tried this the other day for the 1st time. Royal is turning me into a margarita lover. I always liked the Goalpost at Playmakers but thought this was really good too.
  13. Mason Jar Brunch Another Mississippi Moonlight Chicken from the sandwich minus the bread with mashed potatoes & a biscuit Peanut butter stuffed French toast Chicken n waffles Blueberry johnnycakes with pulled pork Chicken pot pie Bread pudding Go Bananas Fried oreo
  14. Yesterday. Thanks for remembering. Mason Jar pics coming later. My wife took over (she has a better phone & takes better photos than I do) so I have to get them from her & I’m too stuffed right now.
  15. FWIW, shorts & a polo made me more dressy than half the MDR on Wonder the past two nights.
  16. Like others have said, it’s subjective & varies from night to night, ship to ship, etc. Lasagna was not very good on Allure in October but surprisingly good on Wonder last night as an example. I usually enjoy the Indian food. The chocolate hazelnut cake & chocolate molten cake (very similar) have become recent favorites of mine & my wife’s. Opinions can’t hurt but I’d order whatever looks appealing to you & if you don’t like it you can always order something else or get food from somewhere else.
  17. Ya know, I’m not sure if there was a live DJ or it was just an automated music track but the music was pretty much the same as far as volume. We don’t find it loud where we sit but that sorta thing is subjective.
  18. Waiting for top tier event. We rarely bother going but had time to kill before Mason Jar. It’s in Studio B for some reason. Thought it was usually in the Aqua Theater.
  19. And ELF though I know you don’t love it like many of us. I’m happy with any ship that has those 2 venues.
  20. Doubly lucky with Labadee cancelled. Some ships who were supposed to be alone now have company later this week from re-routed Labadee itineries. That said, I was there 3X with Indy/Freedom & it wasn’t bad (neither Oasis class ofc). Hideaway also helps now too. That said, love being there alone & Wonder is actually alone quite a bit. Scheduling quirk in my favor. We’re alone again twice this summer (as of now).
  21. Crisis averted. @GatorCruiser was kind enough to offer to grab my wife some chocolate croissants from the SL but they were out in the CL today.
  22. So many people say this. It’s bizarre that the steakhouse would have the worst filet… especially since I’ve enjoyed filet from 3 other venues & I’m not even a huge filet fan… I prefer some fat in my steak like a ribeye.
  23. My wife did but the pic is on her phone. She added a piece of brownie too.
  24. Might have been heat stroke. I have no explanation. MDR Italian night was unexpectedly good. Arancini (forgot a pic) was crispy & tasty, lasagna actually had meat & wasn’t mushy, & even my wife loved the chocolate hazelnut cake. Neither of us tasted any hazelnut. It was very similar to the molten chocolate cake which she loved on Allure. Thanks for the recommendation @FionaMG ! Apologies for the missing bites. Waiting for Name That Tune: 80’s and trying a “Metalliquor”
