    Some bartenders know it as a Royal margarita. Patron Tequila, Cointreau, sweet and sour or lime and orange juice with a floater of Grand Mariner.

    Yeah, that is what we did - had a great time, enjoyed all the planes coming in and the restaurant there has decent food.
     
    We also took a walk into town to go to the Yoda (Star Wars) museum which was very cool. No need for special excursion on St Marteen

    For those that want to take a diuretic, please consult your physician before you do. It can lead to low sodium, potassium and or magnesium issues that may end up being very serious.

    Ok in my expert medical opinion the easiest and most convenient way to do this without feeling like missing out on things is to do the following.
    If you are going to use the elevator only do it if you are going more than 2 decks, otherwise use the stairs. If you are going to the bow or aft, use the elevator on the opposite end. So if you are in the middle of the ship and you want to go to the bow, walk to the aft elevators and vise versa.
    Walk the running track 2-3 times after dinner or if you have a show then after the show.
    Drink at least 1 glass of water before each meal. This will keep you hydrated and help to make you feel full without overeating. Always make sure you have at least one serving of raw or steamed vegetables at each meal.
    Real easy to do... I eat whatever I want, drink whatever I want and never miss desert and I lose 2-3 lbs on every cruise.

    We are going to try for CK for the 1st time on this upcoming cruise. We never did it before as it was the old MDR menus, and we were fine with them.
    Now with the new menus and with a 3 night speciality dining pkg we are hoping to use CK this time.

    It is not that you have outgrown Royal, its the entitlement ages that are now getting into cruising that is bringing in the downfall. Just as with parenting and then politics and social etiquette falling by the wayside and the other just letting it happen, well now here we are.

    I have never had an issue with MTD. I make my reservations as soon as they open in the cruise planner.
    When we get to the 1st night we ask the hostess to make sure we get the same table and wait staff every night. 
    Only on our last cruise was the wait staff slow and that was the 1 and only night we asked them to be speedy as we had a show to get to. They were not and I mentioned it to the head waiter and the rest of the cruise they were spot on.
    If you don't speak up and say something right when things happen, then it wont get any better and they wont know they are doing anything you don't want.
