extended bacon hours

I don't ever eat burgers at WJ but I want to say that they had bacon at lunch there on Wonder along with the burger fixins.

Breakfast was over at 11am this morning and I was there at 12:30.

RC seems very big on the idea of brunch these days.

I will get to it at some point. Tried it when it was all paid items and it was pretty good. Will have to see if the quality has declined since it went complimentary.

I was on Indy twice for a total of 11 nights in 2022 when it was all $$$ and never tried it. That was my only complaint at the time... no extra included venues like ELF. We were on CocoCay with Freedom 3X and I remember wishing Freedom was in PC and not vice versa just for ELF, lol. At least it had Playmakers.

Glad you decided to blog and that everything went smoothly after the parking. I would not have dealt with that situation well.

CASH ONLY? Is this a Honduran excursion or a business in the US? I thought places were switching to NO CASH ACCEPTED, lol.

MISSISSIPPI MOONLIGHT 

Big fan, especially with brunch. Doesn't taste very alcoholic at all, more like just a very refreshing, fruity lemonade.

RIVERBOAT FLOAT 

My favorite "big kid" drink.

Lots of good drinks at Mason Jar, especially if you drink bourbon/whiskey. I tried to but I'm just not a whiskey guy.

I didn't see that but figured that, thanks. Darn that's nice OBC. I guess Royal is thinking they booked early and fire a much cheaper rate. 

You're not missing much. Royal has been alternating these sales that include OBC with the normal sales that don't. For the most part, when they offer OBC, the prices go up so there's usually not much (if any) of a net gain.

Got my Royal Up!

From Inside GTY to Ocean View Infinite Balcony. Great location, Deck 10 midship. Zero complaints.

Congrats!

I cruise much differently solo than I do with my mother..I also am a creature of habit and working a little so the days are rinse and repeat.

I can relate to most of that.

We like our mostly rinse and repeat routine. We made a few little tweaks to it on Wonder last month since it was our first time on her not freeloading in a GS but it was mostly the same. I expect our next 2 to be very similar and without @GatorCruiser to chime in I really may not have a ton to share besides the food and drinks, lol. We'll have one new excursion per cruise so there's that... Oh, and I can take pics of our shiny new D+ pins that will never see the light of day.

Maybe I'll call it "WONDERING how I can use 10 vouchers when my wife barely uses 2."

I agree that it felt like a significant improvement! We loved that the door swung out. 

The 6:10 mark shows the bathroom (I realized it was easier to find a random video than bug my wife).

Do you have any pictures of this door? We had a door that swung open on Symphony rather than the slide open (moldy) on Allure and I really liked it - but it still felt like a space tube when you were inside.

My wife might, I'll get back to you. It was only a little bigger than the tube but the combo of the actual clear glass and door that swung out made it seem far less tube-like.

Symphony is the one Oasis class ship I missed so it could be the same type or similar.

I know what you mean about missing the shower door.  It’s the main thing I disliked about our Radiance cruise.  That shower curtain is gross !

The new basic showers on Wonder have me spoiled. Never had a problem with that phone booth, space tube, whatever... but the actual glass doors that swing open are certainly an upgrade.

I'm at a two-top tonight and the neighboring tables are no shows, so it may be a much tamer cruise socially this time around.

So more time for food and drink porn, got it!

Just now, WAAAYTOOO said:

I thought about doing a blog but these are going to be pretty boring cruises.  Maybe I will just do a comments blog…but I guess that’s all a blog is, anyway !  We’ll see…

I've come to realize a blog can be whatever you want it to be. A boring cruise beats my boring daily routine (which is why I need more blogs to read, lol).

what are the odds that will become something?

Pretty darn good. That's usually a sign that you won that bid.

Looking at it quickly 7200 would be a nice cabin since it is on the hump of the ship. Gives you a better view when looking over the side.  That would be a you best bet in my opinion.

I'd agree (also after a very brief look). I know you may want higher but I'd take the hump balcony and avoid the connecting cabins.

for tomorrow’s EX

23N B3B? Have a great time! Now THAT would definitely require use of the free laundry.

Hopefully you'll share some stuff. I think we're down to @AshleyDillo's blog and she keeps getting caught up in casino and tablemate shenanigans in between tagging me for food and drink porn.

Looks like things are back to normal

Yep, all good now... until the next glitch.

App is working for me, but the website not so much.

Opposite for me, lol.

What I've been doing for the last few cruises we've taken is to download the Set Sail pass to my Apple Wallet and instead of printing the full Guest Ticket Booklet, I'll just print the first few pages indicating the cruise guests and sailing date. No need for all the rules and regulations.

You can cut and paste just the set sail pass from the website (and I'm sure there are lots of ways). It's where the luggage tags are.  I don't even open that super long guest booklet file.

Just now, Mturk said:

Same for me but the website isn't working for me either. I get the "It's not you. It's us" message on the website and "Sorry, we hit a snag" on the app.

Yeah, both down now.

@OCSC Mike knows.

One of my favs!

I love that the bar attached to ELF on Wonder has the same marg; they just don't call it a Goalpost and it comes in the pool-friendly plastic hurricane cup. It's so much more convenient for me than going all the way down to Playmakers since I'm at ELF everyday and we at least spend a little time on the pool deck/solarium most days.

EDIT: And it's never too spicy, lol. Sabor has/had a spicier one.

Yup, got the "we have your info but unable to log you in" or something like that. Did you try a uninstall reinstall as I am about to do?

Nah, I don't usually bother unless I actually want/need it for something ASAP. It usually works itself out after a little while. I'll just try later.

Hope the reinstall works for ya.

My turn to have issues. App kicked me out and I get the "we hit a snag, try later" message when I try to login. Website still working fine.
