They throw even unserved food if not eaten in 4 hours. They would be wasting more food this way, but it's probably a cheap price to pay for our safety in these times.

I certainly love it and don't think I will be cruising again until they bring the buffet back. It would also be the time when it's safer to travel and these restrictions are lifted. Cruising is all about the freedom and relaxation of a vacation, which other dining options don't provide. I tried specialty/main dining once but didn't feel like it. I like to feel free and relaxed with what I wear and how I eat all my meals. And by the way, I don't like those who fill mountains of food in their plates and throw half of it. I actually do the opposite, I fill many smaller plates and I keep moving around between my table and the buffet to stay active while eating. I would rather waste water and dish washing than wasting food.

I found your previous blog on Serenade, unfortunately most of your great photos are deleted, but I got this nice summary:

I would have loved to know your opinion on how smaller ships compare to an Oasis class when there are limited choices for activities and dining. Really wanted to see this ship through your lens.

Thank you @Neaxan for sharing your first RC cruise with us and letting us live the experience with you. You were also very lucky meeting @twangster 😄 Choosing Symphony for your first RC cruise is a smart choice so you could see the best and most of what Royal Caribbean offers.

Thank you for another enjoyable blog. I imagined myself sitting with you in that shuttle bus as I continue my journey on Serenade for the next 10 days. Is it possible to share with us what future cruises you have booked, even if you are not blogging them?

I was searching for you in the Grills among other periscopers videos but couldn't find you. You must have taken extreme precautions there 😄

That Solarium is a Symphony of Light in itself !

Can the same WOWband be "re-programmed" and used on a later cruise free of charge?

Learning new things in this blog! Thanks

Is this a standard on all Oasis ships? Does the Soda come with the free meal? Although I am slowly turning into a vegetarian, the burger looks delicious!

I am concerned about the amount of food waste the happens on cruise ships or everywhere else. I hope Royal Caribbean makes good use of it.

Hi Chris, I have been always wondering where the ship staff sleep and how their accommodation look like compared to guests. On which deck are their cabins? Does the captain get a better cabin than other staff? How long is each shift? Do they work 7 days a week? Are you allowed to post videos or photos of crew-only areas? It will be interesting seeing the "other side" of the cruising world.

Sir, you sure know how to pick up your onboard program!

Is the TV program advertised anywhere? How did you know the schedule of the Captain Updates?
