My Soulmate and I will be sailing on the next cruise (NOV 08) as you get off Lady G (it will be our 3 cruise on her in the last 2 years).  We have sailed on every class of RC ship (except Empress and Majesty).  She is, obviously, one of our favourites.  Here are our biggest observations:
1) Baltimore port is very easy to navigate ... in and out.  You will not feel like you are on a "cattle call".
2) If you love to dance (or even like it a little bit), this might be the best cruise ship in RC's fleet.  We are always in the Centrum at 4:30ish to dance all the way until late seating.  Live bands on RC are great ... Lady G does not disappoint.  While you are dancing or enjoying the music, you will notice a "connection" to the sea.  Everywhere from the Centrum you can see outside.  Some of the larger ships rob you of this experience ... drink it up.
3)  If you like a piano bar, the Schooner Bar is very similar to the ones on other RC ships, with one small exception.  We find it is a little more intimate, a little more inviting, and a great place to hang out.  AND, just like the Centrum, you are always connected to the sea ... there are wonderful views from virtually everywhere in the Schooner Bar.
4)  The staff is excellent ... we have seen some of the crew twice now and really hope we see them again in NOV.
5)  We are big "show people".  Still, even the basic performances on this small ship are very enjoyable.  They are genuine and feel more like someone is performing in your living room.  Very special.
6)  If John Blair is the Cruise Director, he will perform his Neil Diamond Tribute.  We have seen twice (JAN 2006  & NOV 2018).  It is excellent.  After seeing the first time, I found myself listening to a lot more Neil Diamond.  Not to be missed.
7)  The ship is extremely easy to get around.  This was different for us, in NOV, as we just got of Harmony ... early in the year.  It is kind of nice to not have to plan 30 minutes in advance to get somewhere (slight exaggeration).  Have I mentioned yet, that you CAN ALWAYS SEE THE SEA.  This is a big plus and something not to be missed.
8.  Relax ... we are always relaxed on this ship.  The Solarium is small, but very quiet and relaxing.
9)  If you like to walk, the best place is on Deck 5  where you can walk outside all around the ship ... it is shaded for 95% of your trip.  Did I mention that you are still really connected to the seas.
 
As others have said, there are very few bells and whistles.  Still this is one of the most enjoyable cruise ships we have experienced.
HAVE A BLAST ...

Yep ... I love me a double burger! Might finally take the triple plunge next cruise.
Ugh! Always! I make a comment every time.

I agree! I love the burgers and all the fixins'!

Unless there  are several sea days it is not worth purchasing.  We spend about half of what the package costs.  That would be 4 drinks per person per day.  With the free drinks we get daily  and wine we brought on we are only buying one or two drinks a day.  $ 50 a day vs. $ 120  a day is a no brainer.  And a big cost savings.

Is this what you are referring too? They served this on Grandeur of the Seas on one of the last sea days of a 9 day cruise. I couldn’t believe it!

I agree! I love the burgers and all the fixins'!

Congrats @twangster!  Looking good!

@Rebecca UK  Welcome to the RCB forums!   Good question.

Please join me in congratulating  @Matt on this 25th day of July 2019 as the Royal Caribbean Blog message boards have reached 10,000 members. Woot!  Woot!

Fair winds, following seas and may the Kraken always be full in your cup! 
Happy cruising everyone!

Look on the left side of the screen, I found out on Anthem that not all of them have the water icon, but you can not miss it, I can not remember its exact location on that left side but I do remember it was there.  I want to say that it was the upper half of the screen.  

All - this thread is doing nothing but causing harsh language and hard feelings. It's accomplishing nothing. Nothing can be done to bring that little girl back, so just let it go and move on.

We've had decent but for the most part, nothing special food at the MDR.  I agree with an analogy that I saw on the boards, where they compared the MDR food to really good banquet food.  I personally think the WJ dinner food is just as good, if not better.   Some things are better than others obviously but I think it comes down to what dining experience you want.  Do you want to be waited on in a nicer setting or are you okay with serving yourself and eating at your own pace (and depending on where /when you sit in the WJ, the views are just as good)?  That will determine MDR or WJ imo.  

I wear hiking pants with zip off leggings.  Shorts by day, long pants for MDR and back to shorts in the evening with nothing but a zip on each leg.  
Good from far.  Good enough with a collared shirt to look dressed up enough while keeping my suitcase light.  
I like them for flying as well.  Planes can be cool but when I land in hot, humid Florida the legs come off and instant shorts.  

My wife makes me hold onto it since I usually have a pocket

What no dessert? (Like I don’t get enough all day every day on a cruise!)

Thought it would be a good idea to post a quick photo look around of the offerings a Skipper's Grill on CocoCay. I'm going to assume that Chill Grill would have the same offerings.
Per signage, the hours of operation are 11:30 to 3:00 

Starting off it was nice seeing the beverage station outside of the buffet area. This area also has a soft serve machine.
Getting a closer look at the beverage island area.

Better view of the drink dispensers

I'm not sure if the beer by the ounce dispenser is covered by the beverage package or not. Also want to say a hand washing station was on the other side of the dispensers.
Fruit carving just so you know where you were.

Skipper's Grill was divided up into multiple sections.
Once for cold salads and pre-made sandwiches.


Some sandwiches being made.
 
Grill stations with the classic hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, corn, and not shown fries.

Next up was a taco/mexican station, here they had chicken, beef, pulled pork, rice, and beans. (Need to double check if I have any pictures)
One highlight was the freshly made flour
Finally two different topping stations. One geared towards burger fixings and the other for taco fixings.

 
 
Finally a photo just for drool factor. This plate was a cuban sandwich (made with a soft sweet style bread), rice and beans plus some of the pulled pork.

 
Also forgot to mention there is a small bar counter within the Skipper's Grill area. Don't recall if they did blended drinks but they did carry plenty of beers and spirits.
Only major complaint I had was food temperature, nothing seemed really that hot. Most of what I tried was almost warm, some stuff was hot but for the most part it wasn't consistent. I might mark that as being there probably when they first opened around 11:30. Overall they weren't that busy at the time.

We actually pay additional too.  However, for our cabin attendant we split into 2 tips.  1st day as soon as we meet them we give 50%, and the remainder on the last evening.  We have found this works the best.   We do tip the MDR staff, but it depends on how many nights we eat in the MDR, it usually is at least the 2 formal nights.   IE last cruise we traveled in a group and they only wanted to do the MDR, on this upcoming cruise we will be in the MDR only 3 out of 8 nights, thus the tip to the MDR will be smaller.  
 

I've never been able to justify buying the drink packages, at any price.  My bar bill has never been anywhere near what the drink package would cost.
If I do ever buy the drink package, I'm sure I would be able to get my money's worth.  I would have fancy coffee every morning, I would focus on trying the $12 or $13 dollar cocktails, I would get lots of bottled water.  I would consume enough so that if I was paying list price for every drink, I would come out ahead.
But this is not my normal behavior on a cruise.  My wife and I will get a fancy coffee once or twice on a cruise.  And we will use our C&A BOGO coupon for coffee, so we only need to pay for one.  The rest of the time we just drink the regular, included, coffee.  We will also use our BOGO wine/soda/beer coupons.  Generally we will just use those on beers, on sea days.  With the coupon each beer will cost me $3.50.  We generally book balcony cabins, and bring 2-4 bottles of wine onboard.  So our pre-dinner drink will be a glass of our BOYB wine on the balcony.  At dinner we will usually share a bottle of wine, especially if we are traveling with other people.  A wine that is $12 a glass is only $46 a bottle.  5 glasses of wine in a bottle, so $9.20/glass.  After dinner we will sometimes get a cocktail.  At Boleros I enjoy the Caribbean Painkiller.  $9.50.  If I'm on the drink plan, will I feel compelled to switch to a $12 in order to "get my money's worth?"  I've never bought a bottle of water on a cruise ship.  The tap water is fine with me.  I've read tips that say if you are on the drink package to get a bottle of water with every drink, so you can stay hydrated.  Bartenders will also give you a glass of ice water with every drink, and that is free.
I'd rather just pay per drink.  If my consumption habits were naturally closer to the $12/drink level, and I drank cappuccinos every morning, I might feel differently.

“Take a flat iron (hair) even if you don't need it.  Traditional irons are not allowed, but hair flat irons are.  The beauty of a flat iron is you can use it like a traditional iron for shirts and pants.  I don't take downy release because I take a flat iron.  Look at a flat iron, and you can see how you can use it to iron out wrinkles in the sleeves of a shirt, or crease the pant legs.  It takes up little room, and you don't need to worry about any liquids leaking on your clothes.”
I never thought of this ?

Because I travel to Europe frequently I purchased a dual power hair dryer.  Problem is....it is so damn hard to change from 110 to 220 that I threw it in the trash !  I just use the <wholly inadequate> ones they have in the hotels over there.  I look like a scarecrow but at least I don't have trouble with the crows over there.

Well said.  I think it's important for anyone reading this thread understand that while we can make some good recommendations based on our own experiences, ultimately there is always a chance the person you encounter at the port may have a differing opinion.

People use their phones as their camera and bring more cameras like Go Pros for underwater or other active excursions or a DSLR or mirrorless camera for better photography.
Any one with medical equipment lose an outlet to it.  If both adults had CPAP machines there are no outlets left.  A toothbrush charger consumes an outlet.  
There are lots of ways to consume your available outlets.  

If he wants to limit consumption, he should cancel the drink package. They are diametrically opposed. ?
