I'm still not team clip cup

I wasn't either, I only ordered them b/c my wife liked it and so of course I had to get one too... especially when Bezos was offering 5% off for buying more than one, lol. I am now though. We used them a lot more than I expected.

Succumb to the FOMO and peer pressure... all the cool kids have them!

Not sure it will work this far out though

It only works after check-in b/c you don't have your set sail pass until then.

I just don't like this development at all.

I don't blame you. I'm in the board ASAP group as well. Hopefully I didn't jinx PC. Boarding has gone very smoothly in addition to beginning early for a while now.

It varies by port. They still had 10:30 at PC for my Wonder cruise 2 weeks ago (and boarding seems to usually begin before 10:30 at PC).

Authentic may be bad word choice, I found some of the food nearly inedible.  Maybe we went on a bad night.

Anything is possible. I've also seen more people post about enjoying brunch rather than dinner (anecdotal evidence of course). Most dinner complaints I've seen have been about the BBQ portion which isn't really part of brunch (unless you count the pulled pork on top of the johnnycakes which I found to be fine but nothing special).

I've only had brunch and it's the breakfasty items like the stuffed french toast that are my favorites. Love the desserts too!

No Indy for you! You’re trapped on Radiance.

Yes they do! 

Part of why we love it. It's like an AI beach club but included in the cruise fare, especially if you like the food as much as we do.

Nope, it's all completely random (or at least we don't know what makes RC assign GTY cabins when they do).

After you check-in 45 days out, if you haven't been officially assigned by then, you can use the bar code trick to find your cabin...

Bar Code Trick

Method 1. If you have an Apple device, add your set sail pass to your Apple wallet. Numbers will now appear under your bar code. The numbers after the dash represent your cabin.

Method 2. Scan the bar code with a QR scanner from another device and that should also show you the numbers.

NOTE: If you see "GTY" instead of numbers, you truly haven't been assigned yet. One tip off is that if you don't see a muster station on your set sail pass then you almost definitely don't have an assignment yet.

She had a bad experience in the WJ and refuses to set foot in there ever.

I'd starve on a smaller ship without the WJ, lol.

That's cheating!

Safe travels and thanks for sharing!

I definitely take advantage of the laundry wash & fold every time simply for the folding! It makes everything fit so much better in my suitcase when I leave.

Not sure we'll use it (now that we have it) but glad to hear the positive feedback. We pack pretty light and I feel like packing up has never been an issue so I'd just be using it b/c I can. Maybe my wife will send out her workout clothes or something.

Safe travels home! Thanks for sharing. Was nice to have a virtual B2B after getting off as you got on & glad you had such a great cruise like we did.

greatly preferred the layout of On Air on Symphony over Spotlight Karaoke on Wonder

Definitely agree with this.

we found Mason Jar to miss the mark on authentic Southern food,

Dunno if it’s authentic, just know I love it (brunch at least). Food is of course subjective.

Loyalty pays...

Do they know you want to be healthy or something? We got choc covered strawberries and different types of rice krispie treats last week. Who wants fruit???

Had to make this borderline obnoxious post somewhere… woohoo!   +

Had those same shrimp in WJ last week... surprisingly good!

I won't be eating in the MDR on those sailings so it doesn't matter to me

Just now, AshleyDillo said:

Interesting..I can get to menus on my Wonder and Oasis sailings but none of the other ships I am booked on. Some of them don't even show the MDR in the dining options.

New perk for sailing Oasis class?

And tonight I think I will skip the MDR.

Maybe you knew this and I misunderstood but that's the lunch menu.

It's really a disturbing look into the human condition.

Agreed. I don't have an account but I use my wife's to join our cruise groups... which are largely a train wreck, IMO.

On the plus side, we did find a nice couple to split a cab to Nachi Cocom with in October so I saved $10... made it totally worth it!

I've gotta mention again, last night's lobster.  Often, folks on this forum are so critical of what they say is the worst lobster ever, aboard Royal Caribbean.  Even leaving the restaurant I overheard an old grump complaining of the lobster.

But the lobsters my Wife and I were served were truly wonderful.  Proof again, instead of professing how bad the food is, just recognize everybody has different tastes and expectations .

And I will go home pleased, with memories of what is now my favorite ship.

I thought the lobster was good last week too. It's small and I'd never pay $16.99 for a 2nd (I actually did have two b/c I got my wife's) but it tasted good.

Welcome to the Wonder fan club!

I already know them b/c I keep sailing the same ship but they still appear for my June and July Wonder cruises.

Facebook never lets me down...apparently there was a Pool Bar fight yesterday that sent someone to medical. And those involved in the fight are going to be kicked off in Cozumel today.

It's official... I am the only person who never sees or hears about any shenanigans when I cruise. Not sure if that's good or bad.
