Almost there! 2 wakeups left. Have a great cruise!

In certain ports we overpay for a Royal excursion due to the guarantee. Most of the time we are very comfortable with 3rd party. As for the couple from SC, I have zero sympathy. Their take is that the other thousands of guests should have been inconvenienced because of their issue. Yes stuff happens in life but taking to the Today Show to accuse NCL of an overly strict all aboard policy is entitlement at its best. The couple is threating NCL that they will not board the ship! Ha Ha! please don't throw me in that briar patch.

The sides are the reason I love the burrito. I have been meaning to try the power wrap based on your excellent advice. Our next is on Icon in April so we will see. We are not doing any specialty dinning and I love the MDR for breakfast. We rarely eat out at home so MDR just feels better than the Windjammer.

@FionaMG Does the Power Wrap come with salsa and avocado like the breakfast burrito or did you request the sides?

Hoping the pricing will be more along the lines of specialty dinning not the Empire or Chef's Table level. We just had an opportunity for a very nice wine all included dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants. The problem was the price at $250 for a couple, we did attend when it was $150 a couple. When on the cruise I also factor in that we have paid $20ish each as part of our cruise fare.

Is the steak and egg on a croissant? Looks delicious! Not an onion fan but if that was a bacon frittata, oh boy yum! Please keep sending food picts!

I'd come early and see what happens. I'm not speaking from actual experience though. Best of luck!

We did a 4 day shorty when our plans unexpectedly changed for a land vacation. We were flying to Florida anyway and used the vacation week with hotel stays on the bookend and a nice cruise Freedom sandwich in the middle. We had a blast and the cruise ended too quickly. If you're ever in a bind the short cruise is a great way to make some lemonade.

@DoodyFresh Just got our check in time last night! 11:30AM the earliest offered. Hope to be on the ship at 11:31!!

That is what we are looking for as well. Do you think they will show up later this week? Maybe next week but that should be shorts and LA.

Getting real!

That just saved me some cash! I think this is going to be a one and done but wanted to check it out. Maybe the Pizza will be next level.

I agree Royals craft beer game is weak at best, pardon my french really piss poor. On one of the Icon walk through videos I thought I saw Lagunitas Day Time IPA on tap, that would be great. The Stone IPA is OK but gets old.

Wouldn't it be great if some wealthy soul bought the cup and then sold raffle tickets to benefit a charity! Come on RCBlog folks step up to the plate. We will all appreciate you!

@Ditchdoc "Many Diamond member's that already get 4 or 5 drinks a day, it is probably not going to be worth it." I see this reply often in combo with I'm Prime in the Casino so we don't need a drink package. Maybe @Zimmerberg with one post has been on many cruises and is Diamond/Prime in the loyalty programs but likely not. The point the good doctor is making is that everyone's situation is different. I like the price certainty of the drink package as a non Diamond/Prime cruiser. Side rant @loki007"We were just on Odyssey and to get a decent glass of wine it was $14.99 which was a dollar up charge over the package limits." This drives me crazy, the included wine is almost plonk and they get a buck a glass for the solid stuff. Not a wine snob but when I look at the in package included hard booze just doesn't add up.
