I will test that for you at some point. The front of the sun desk is glass panels all the way around so I feel that probably blocks the wind pretty well. The panels were taller than me.

I checked off 8:30-9:00. It's a sea day...I have no plans. The top tier gathering is at 10:30am and the CC Meet&Mingle is before that. So..room service alarm. They rang the room at 8:11am and my order was here at 8:17am. Definitely worth the few $ cash tip. i always feel weird about ordering just coffee..and I don't really eat breads or any of the other stuff on the menu..but I still order something so it's not as obvious that I am too lazy to walk down to Park Cafe to help myself ??? Pro tip: Make sure to indicate how many of something you want when it comes to things like butter or cream cheese or they default to 1 piece.

I "napped" until 2:45am. Apparently I am able to self-regulate my naps as to ensure I won't miss the 3am room service hanger final call, but not to get up and go around crowds of people. ? I filled out my room service form and hung it on the door. I like to use this as my alarm in the morning. They call your room before your order is delivered. Continental breakfast is completely free and the hanger clearly marks the items that fall under the $7.95 service charge.

Hmm..so where did I leave off last night...last thing I remember was robots taking jobs away from service workers RIP Champagne Bar. At least at this bar you don't have to feel shamed for not tipping in cash on top of the 18% gratuity for your drink? Service is pretty slow anyways. At that point it was pushing 9:30 and I was at the point where if I wasn't actively doing something I was going to fall asleep sitting up. The only options then were passive activities (watching music). The first night promenade balloon drop at midnight is always fun, but I knew I wouldn't make it that long without a nap. I went back to the cabin intending to take a nap so I could go watch the balloon drop. Spoiler alert: I didn't end up seeing the balloon drop.

Food porn..we ordered 12 wings, buffalo chicken crunch roll, and the Playmakers classic burger. Overall this was a bit of a miss. The wings ARE breaded for those who care about these things. My mom complained the wings were small. The aged cheddar in the burger was so aged that it reminisced a Kraft single. The handformed patty I remembered from Symphony is some tough pre-formed thing now. Bacon was crispy though. Fries were steak fries with parmesan cheese melted on them. They warranted a "good". The buffalo chicken crunch roll was the star of the show..think shredded buffalo chicken inside of an egg roll wrapper. Delicious. The waiter resolved the UDP issue and brought the check before the food in which I tipped and signed. Havent seen him since the food was delivered. Note we were a party of 2 in 2 different rooms. He only took one card and put all $22 on it and zeroed it out. I wouldn't pay extra based on this experience but I would use it as an included dining option to stave off food coma from dining in the coveted specialty dining restaurants.

I need to snag a D menu and bring it with me. Forgot that draft beer clause. On the UDP front our server thinks the dining package doesn't cover Playmakers. Here we go again ?

Back to the little boardwalk interactive app games..found them! Very cute touch. So instead of letting the kids play in the arcade..get them a $600 smartphone and let them loose!

IMO if you are looking for that unobstructed Oceanview, these are the seats that you need to look for. These particular ones are on the starboard side pretty much right at the entrance of the solarium.

So I am torn on this new Solarium sun deck. It by itself is an amazing place. Plenty of chairs and there are some clam shell things and no children. Kind of similar to the Carnival Serenity deck. However I understand there used to be all this enclosed Solarium space right up against the windows that had a direct oceanview with no obstructions. There is really none of that now. If you go to the size of the solarium there is but it's limited to maybe 10 or 15 chairs worth of loungers.

I scoped. Scoping is awkward. I prefer typing over talking. https://www.pscp.tv/w/cKsEUzFYSmprVnliYXdOS0x8MWpNSmd3cWxCTk1KTNwgahxhNfasq4VvT83YHNqhfdzReFfpYcI-CNNWSjzO?t=1s

Fireworks display to send off the new amped ship probably has something to do with it as well. It's not quite dark enough yet. MSC is sailing past right now so we may almost be done with the Cruise Ship Parade.

All the other ships are sailing off. We are waiting for a grand finale send off. Horn battle with Explorer of the Seas as they passed got tons of laughs up on the new Solarium sun deck.

Yes! Be aware there is a storeroom next door and it can get a little clangy at early hours if you are noise sensitive!

I think $20/visit is reasonable. Spending more for one person would be tough as it would be quite a bit of food in one sitting. But to cap it per day is a bit much with the terms of the plan written the way they are.
