Agree with @JLMoran 100%. I cannot drink coffee in WJ or MDR any more. I normally get the refreshment drink package just for coffee, sparkling water and bottled waters.

From I saw in the pictures, it also looks smaller than the old H2O zone but added the slides that make it great for kids though.

It used to call H2O zone. I think they added the slides on it.

Great scope ? Look just like lovely Freedom OTS I went and look like just a few changes (amped)

Happy New Year everyone ?

I had never been in Suite so don't know anything about CK. We don't want to spend money on the suite. We are on #teamBalcony. However, MDR is not on my team after my last cruise that why we get UDP for Symphony in October. Have fun ? and enjoy the New Year's Eve Party tonight.

After I saw MDR menu you posted, now I am 100% sure that most Royal ship uses the same menu. I think you made the right call to eat at WJ. Hope you feel better with motion sickness. I took Bonine in the morning then drink coffee so I will not sleepy.

That was I got on my Thanksgiving Dinner in MDR on November. It was really bad and I will never ever order it again. The Diamond Lounge is really big compared to Anthem OTS little room. ?

sometimes good things come in small packages. New Year's Party will be super. ?

Hey, @Rimmit I think you posted in the wrong topic LOL. Glad you have fun in Europe and Russia.

The assistant waiter should be the one taking care of ordering your drink. On both Lady G and Anthem this year, the assistant waiter did ask me for what I would like to drink and he can get it for me.

St Thomas: If you like to snorkel then Koki Beach or Sapphire beach but if you like swimming beach then Megan bay. St Kitts: I went to the beach that has a volcanic sand mix with white sands really unusual beach. The water is really calm on the Caribbean side and it was the best beach break we have done. The name of the beach is South Friars Bay and the place we rent umbrellas and lounge chairs is it called Carambola Beach club. The place has beers in the bucket, mix drink, Sushi and the Whole Pizza. It also has a little area that you can snorkel.

We just went to Nassau in November. We took an excursion to Pearl Island. Everything was fine, lunch really delicious and the island is nice and clean. I recommended Pearl Island. I think if you do an excursion with the ship that should be OK. Anyway, we will never wonder by ourselves in Nassau.

If you have a passport, you don't need a Birth Certificate. I have never had an issue just bringing my passport.

I was sure It was a special request. I had never seen it offer in the MDR. I only saw at a Diamond lounge or a special event like C&A party. Savory bite sample = a small square bread.

Or you have 6 years old that doesn't need an Internet. On my CP is $24.99 for 3 people x 7 days is $524.79 on top of what I already paid almost $5000 for this cruise. Sound great but doesn't work for me when I only need one Internet package.

Miami

Just curious !!! Does anyone got the Key and used it yet? Just want some feedback

Thanks for the info. I saw Beatlemania on Lady G in April this year. Not sure still showing on Lady G or Not.

I guess they get rid of "The gift" or I miss something. "The gift" was my favorite show on Anthem out of 3 shows. I think "We will rock you" was too long. Spectra Cabaret, if you like the movie "the Fifth Elements" then you will like it, it really reminds me of that movie. Spectra is a great show but not my favorite. Agree with you on the food 100%. I had been sailed with RC since 2000 so a lot to compare. The food's quality has gone down for sure. I now booked my specialty restaurants for the first time in my cruise traveling on my upcoming cruise with Symphony OTS. However, the activity and entertainment are getting better.

Yes, it really crowded in the D lounge but still nice to be Diamond member. I still can get in D lounge and just asked for a bottle of water them walk out.

I was on Anthem, it showed on the TV when you go to the menu dining section. It is an Asain theme. I didn't really look for it so I not sure just one night or more but it still does theme night and showed on the TV, not on cruise compass.

Yes, I used it at MDR on my past cruise on Anthem OTS. Can order whatever available for Diamond members. Not sure about a specialty restaurant because we did not go. HTH

I should say part of the suite benefit. We do not care much about the suite because we will have our son with us and that will cost too much for a suite. I hear a lot of good reviews about Coastal Kitchen but we prefer specialty restaurants. Sundeck normally we have never used it anyway. We got Diamond lounge access and that enough for us so not worry about concierge access. The key is possibly good for people that don't want to book their shows or activities or cannot access them because of last minute booking. It a good value if it can buy just a few days but entire cruise I not sure.
