depends on the machine. I forget which ship I was on, (Anthem?) but there were 2 machines side by side by Sorrentos- 1 had a water option, one didn't.

How has the food quality been recently?
MaryCS62 replied to JLMoran's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Was on Vision mid March - some portions were tiny ( 2 small pieces fried chicken, maybe 1/4 - 1/3 cup mashed potatoes, small vegetable servings, shrimp cocktail - 4 watery shrimp), and others quite large - Caribbean chicken was 1/2 a chicken, plus large side dishes. but unfortunately I didn't care for the spices, so didn't eat much. I actually can't eat large quantities anymore, & I never felt I needed more food than I got, although I know I could have. Weirdly, 1 thing I noticed was that certain things needed salt - anything without a specific spice profile (ie, the above mentioned Caribbean chicken)- & I rarely salt anything except potatoes and macaroni. Lobster night, I tasted the rice & veg sides - ending up spooning a little of the melted butter on it and salting it as well. -
Laundry options on Oasis of The Seas?

That's why, when we did the special, it was socks, underwear and T-shirts. In addition, since it was a jr suite and had a tub, DD was able to hand wash quite a few things, then we set them by using chair clips on the balcony chairs -

MaryCS62 replied to Leroyr55's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Hmm - was looking at that one for early Jan (have to plan around hubby's school schedule). I can't usually do the regular pools (knee troubles makes it difficult to use the ladders) so my only option for pool is the Solarium, usually. Didn't know Odyssey didn't have the covered pool that Anthem did (have done 2 on her, figured we'd like Odyssey too) -

I think it depends on 2 things - 1, there is a window of time (I think 3 days prior, but don't quote me on that) at which changes cannot be made, and 2, as long as the primary person in the room stays the same, it is ok. Never done it myself, this is based on others' stories.

I was just coming to post that same thing!! DH loves the filet there, so we grabbed that deal originally on Black Friday for our March cruise -

Dining Early or Late - Which Do You Prefer & Why?
MaryCS62 replied to Married2Grumpy's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
when early dining was 6pm and late was 830 (or 9?) pm, early was good. When they switched it up, we still had to go with early when traveling with my daughter who went to bed early (medical issues) so no choice there. DH and I had MTD on a cruise last year, and it was hit and miss - didn't really care for it, plus we had to fight to not be stuck in a dark, out of the way table. We have done late after it was changed to 730, and preferred that time. -
The theater is large, and you shouldn't have any trouble getting a seat. I enjoyed it, hope you do as well

You would need to rent a wheelchair or scooter for him (pre cruise) if he can't walk long distances easily - as far as I know, RC wheelchairs are only for use on the ship. Prior to boarding, you can request wheelchair assistance to get him onto the ship, but they will just bring him to whatever deck boarding is on and leave him there. Scootaround and Special Needs at Sea are rental companies that will rent you scooter, manual wheelchair (I think) or electric wheelchairs, which are typically delivered to the stateroom.

Glad it worked for you. I was thinking of doing a few dinners that way on my upcoming cruise, but not sure I could convince DH to do it with me. We will see....

and, unfortunately, it is fish heavy, which is alright with me, but DH would not care for it at all. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what substitutions they will make?

MaryCS62 replied to eazyeray's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
or ask your cabin steward for an ice bucket to be filled daily - you can put the bucket in the cooler to keep it colder, or just put the milk cartons in the ice -

Well, this is going to be our first cruise on Diamond (8 day on Vision in March) so we will see what it is like. I do like to keep bottled water, drink sodas, although it will be more of a pain without the freestyle machines, and we will be using the drink vouchers for alcoholic drinks, and I will probably give 1 or 2 a day to DH, since I don't drink much anymore. Vision is also a smaller ship, and we've heard that sometimes Diamond cruisers may get limited to the lounge if there are too many Diamond Plus & Pinnacle aboard, so not sure what will happen.
