On second thought, for those dining in the middle time before 8:00 could still see the late show in the theater. Sorry, I was just thinking about the earlier show at 7:00 which works out for us. We reserve MYTIME at 8:30 each night. The maitre d' usually assigns us to the same waiters each night since we usually show up about the same time.

I really liked the expedited service at night in the main dining room! And food was very delicious for the most part! But two of my favorite dishes were not on the menus on our recent cruise (Explorer of the seas, 9 night 2/09/24 sailing). The menus did not offer the duck a l'orange or lamb chops. Are these items gone for good or was this just not offered on our cruise? I will be disappointed if they are no longer offered.

Thanks for responding!! On Explorer Transatlantic, is the ship maybe less crowded as compared to on it's regular 5-9 day cruises? What about the entertainment? How many different shows/ acts. Since the ship can not restock, does the main dining room have a good variety throughout the entire voyage or are some things limited? We would love any other information that you might have! Thanks again!

RCIfan1912 reacted to a post in a topic: Explorer of the Seas. Is adding new bars and restaurants possible?

Can Royal Caribbean add new bars or restaurants to Explorer while it is sailing. I don't see any breaks for dry dock in the next 2 years. I have a reserved the transatlantic cruise April 30th 2025 and was hoping for some new places to have fun or eat! My wish list would be to get Bamboo Room where there are shops. Also, get Playmakers where there are other shops. It seems that they could close off the shops with not any disturbance for passengers while constructing. For eating, I wish for the Loco Fresh. There are not enough options when the Windjammer is full.

Can I make this flight? (Amsterdam)
Phillip Diamond Plus replied to Dan49's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Early airport ship transfers to AMS airport: Your time to leave the ship should be 6:45am according to past RC cruises in Amsterdam. Looks like rush hour in Amsterdam is later in the morning as work hours there are usually 9:00 to 5:00 or 5:30. So, I still think our 10:45 Delta flight is OK. -
When will this ban start? I hope that my summer July18, 2024 Jewel of the Seas cruise is not going to be affected.. Sorry, this topic may have already been discussed. But I have been out of the loop lately. , Phillip

Can I make this flight? (Amsterdam)
Phillip Diamond Plus replied to Dan49's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We are on the same sailing: Jewel of the Seas 7/18/2024 Yes 10:45 is fine for disembarking in Amsterdam. I will book the Cruise Only transfer offered by Royal Caribbean on this same 10:45 am Delta flight for this same cruise on Jewel of the Seas. ( They will transfer passengers on flights leaving as early as 10:30am. So to be safe, book the Royal Caribbean's transfer. In my experience the transfers offered by Royal Caribbean get you to the airport in plenty of time. They do not take chances on people missing flights. We'll see you on board and hopefully on the transfer. Phillip -
I know that we are allowed a 750ml bottle of wine per passenger in our carry-on. But what about bringing maybe 4 split 186ml bottles which would equal the regular sized bottle of wine by volume. Would this be allowed? The splits (187 ml) are easier to pack in our suitcases and we would be assured to have our favorite "champagne" to celebrate sail-away. What is the actual policy? Is it wine up to 750ml total or is it just the regular 750ml bottles that are allowed?

Amsterdam to ban Cruise Ships
Phillip Diamond Plus replied to castle25's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
To maybe answer my question: It looks like Rotterdam is only about a 35-40 minute drive from the Amsterdam airport. Rotterdam has a huge industrial port and could maybe support several cruise ships home-ported there. Also Zeebrugge is another very large industrial port and It looks like it's only about 1 :10 from the Brussels airport. It seems that Industrial ports would not mind the added pollution. What do you think? -
Amsterdam to ban Cruise Ships
Phillip Diamond Plus replied to castle25's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
With a potential closing of the Amsterdam cruise port at the Central Train Station, are there any alternate cruise ports outside of central Amsterdam? If so, where are they? -
