  1. When we started cruising, I would have described the MDR meals as bordering on fine dining. Now, I liken them to somewhere between "not quite as good as I would make at home" and "I believe I could get pretty close to that if I had ready access to the ingredients" depending on the dish.
  2. I would be more comfortable in shorts, but still put on slacks for dinner in the Main Dining Room. Now as for the main dining HALL - that's Windjammer, so shorts it is!
  3. Our differences of opinion on here aside, wishing you all the best medically. While many of us on the boards don't agree on many fronts, we're still a community,
  4. I concur that you didn't say six hours away. You said "nearby." The reality is that the violence is closer to six hours away than to "nearby" by almost any frame of reference. And the murders in Miami (my reference) are MUCH closer in both distance and time to get to the port than Port au Prince is to Labadee.
  5. Then you probably shouldn't board a ship in Miami.
  6. We had the premium package last month on Reflection. There were a few drinks that weren't fully covered by the $17 limit, but those were the fancy drinks at World Class Bar and premium wines by the glass.
  7. More importantly, how does your significant other respond?
  8. My wife did a 3-4-3 B2B2B on Freedom last June (with different family member co-cruisers each leg). She didn't report any difference in the fellow passenger experience for the pair of 3 night weekends vs. the 4 night weekday. The food was repetitive, but since she doesn't venture far from her standard comfort zone that wasn't an issue.
  9. With the possible exception of the specific rum, every bar on every ship should be able to make this drink.
  10. Unless the OBC is more than the cost of one of whatever package you're looking to purchase, it doesn't matter which person it is "assigned" to. The OBC for both people can be applied against the purchase for one person on the reservation.
  11. We have documents authorizing us to obtain medical care for our grandchildren, regardless of travel situations. For traveling outside of your country of residence, it is always advisable to have specific permission for the trip in question. The Royal Caribbean form is a good example, but not the only version that will be accepted.
  12. More per night, yes. But the overall cost is lower and most people don't look at the per unit price when shopping, just the total.
  13. That middle time will be filled up in nothing flat when booking opens by those who opt for fixed dining and like to eat at a reasonable time (that would be us - 5:00 is way too early and 8:00 is way too late).
  14. Reminds me of a trip years ago (before cruising became the go-to) at an all-inclusive resort in Cozumel. My sister-in-law kept asking the housekeeper for "extra" towels and the housekeeper dutifully replaced the towels (no doubt confused as to why this crazy American wanted the towels changed when those towels were perfectly clean). A quick conversation between me and the housekeeper en español eliminated the confusion and got her the additional towels.
