I'm a Blues fan and even I would want to buy that lol.
Not to wear of course . Can't let the Blackhawk colors touch my skin, it burns. BUT, that'd be a cool piece to frame.

I would be HIGHLY shocked if it became a free food option.  That would require RC to pay the corporate owners of Johnny Rockets for their product when they already have passengers paying for it.  My guess would be it is going to be a smaller venue for to go options only. Quick lunch/snacks, things like that. Less space for a full sit down restaurant that probably isn't as busy as most. Opens up area for new things.
I'm sure someone will be on it sooner, but I'll be on Navigator in April. If no one verifies before then, I'll report back.

You're correct, 'bottomless' doesn't mean "trousers optional".  Perhaps RCI should make that clear in the description.  After finding out it's endless champagne some might also think wearing their pants like a chef's hat is a good idea (hic).  Not that you'd ever catch me doing that..
Sorry, I'm originally from North County STL (Bellefontaine Neighbors).
 
Edit: Added photo of sign that confused some Cebuanos after maybe 6 drinks.  And 295 PhP is about $5.80.

I believe it refers to the champagne served as being unlimited.  According to the cruise planner description "Get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of larger-than-life kitchen operations as you tour our Galley — and then savor a spectacular brunch paired with bottomless bubbly. "

OK. Here goes.
Real first name is Mike. Fuzzywuzzy is my username just about everywhere. It was a CB Radio handle I used in the dinosaur era and it made its way to the internet.
I am " retired "and so is the wife. I spent almost 40 years as a LEO and did/do related private sector stuff too. The wife was a public school teacher for 33 years.  USAF (SP) veteran.

We did our earlier cruising with the mouse because it was always with a large family group or just with our own kids. We now do it just the 2 of us. Probably gonna be with Royal alot since retirement checks don't go as far as paychecks and Bayonne is an hour and a half drive.

My wife says I am sarcastic and have a bizarre sense of humor but she's been an accomplished liar as long as I've known her.

Every morning when I wake up a different body part hurts. Today it was my left elbow. You think it's a tumor?
 

Hey Kyle! (Great name btw)
I have purchased the Key for my upcoming cruise in April.  Its a 5 night and first cruise in over 10 years (first solo so not Diamond or anything that gets perks).  We ended up deciding it was worth it at $20/day ($100) just from the math.  Voom surf and stream for 1 device is $18/day right now I believe which is $90 already. I was not completely sold on Voom because I kind of want to be disconnected from everything for the week, but seeing how half our group is on another deck it would make it easier to reach people, plus always good to have service just in case you want or need it.  The Chops Grille Lunch is included on embarkation day which goes for $22. I've always wanted to try it, plus no fighting the crowds at WJ.  Just with those two it is $112, so already worth getting it.  For me all the extra perks of priority on/off ship, reserved show seats, etc is all just a big bonus at a very reasonable price to enhance my cruise.  My 3 friends I'm going with, it is their 1st cruise so I want things to be a great as it can be.
If you are not going to use the flowrider/shows or didn't want Voom, obviously the value isn't there.  Or some have stated that price outweighs value over longer cruises like 9 day+ which makes sense too. But for me, as a non suite, non-perk C&A level, $100 for all the extras to enhance the experience was a no brainer.
Hope you have a great time!

You’re crazy.  

April 7th, 2019 Navigator of the Seas! Excited for my first cruise in about 12 years. I'm going to be a newbie all over again!

Do you want to start a fight on the RC Blog forums? Because this is how you start a fight on the RC Blog forums. 

What makes me laugh is that the exact same people who are likely to make that complaint are the exact same ones who will complain about "entitled millennials" in the same breath. 

Reading this update to Navigator makes me feel so much better. I've cruised a couple times in the past with my parents about 10-12 years ago as a young teen. Being the only one with experience, I was tasked with leading the charge on finding a vacation for my group of friends. Most haven't been out of the country, none on a cruise before. No pressure, right?
I find cruising to be a great value for cost. Got a great deal on the 5 night from April 7-12th with stops in Nassau and Labadee. Being that we are all in our mid 20s, we didn't really have the budget for one of the big, new ships in only 6 months of planning, maybe for 2020. But, I wanted them to be as impressed as I was my first cruise. Nothing better than the face of someone seeing how massive and impressive a cruise ship really is the first time pulling into port.
Looks like Navigator will get a great new update just in time to set sail. 130 days out-very excited! First time on here and like I said been a decade plus since last cruise so things have changed I'm sure. Any tips/ideas from the experts would be greatly appreciated! I've done a lot of research and planning, but I'm sure there is something I haven't thought of.

Noooooo I come here to forget about how terrible they are this year after being hyped up all offseason.

@OrlandoC Thanks for the pictures! If possible, I'm even more excited for my cruise in April 2019 for these bungalows!

I had one for our October cruise. Thanks to this site I knew to only book one "person". 
Royal still put a mailer in my room on the first day letting me know if I had accidently booked more than one I could go to guest service to get a refund. 
 

You really don't need reservations.  I walked in to Independence shows 5-10 minutes early and had no problem with seats.  If you are picky about a seat, then you should show up about 30 minutes early.  Check previous cruise planners (tab at the top of this page) for an idea of times and shows.  The headliner act will probably change but it should give you an idea of times.  Here is a November Freedom compass http://royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compasses/freedom-of-the-seas/sun-2018-11-04-0000
Yes.  

They won that game and a few others after that, but....
Hopefully, the Lou will get one of the two  MLS expansion teams. I have hope for the Cards. Blues, nope.

Hockey! Let's Go Bluuuuuueeessss!

Great!  I'll bring my own foil...
 

A prep cook who used to be tasked with chopping up the lettuce for the Caesar salads realized that the tedious effort could be eliminated and suggested the wedge as a "time saver" for the kitchen.

@JLMoran is correct. Beach beds, cabanas and bungalows are one price, regardless if you bring 1 person or 6. Just buy it under 1 person and then bring your family.
