Happy Cruise Day!!! I'm not a Disney/Star Wars fan as well, but like you said, I can see they did an impressive job there. I'm glad you guys had a good time. Will I ever go? Probably not, thankfully my kids aren't big Star Wars fans either. Keeping The Boss out of Magic Kingdom....thats a different battle.....That I lose...

I am so late to this party. Life has been so crazy I have not had time to peruse the blogs for weeks, and this is what I come back to!! @Lovetocruise2002 first off, Happy Anniversary, I'm sorry that it started out with such a stressful journey to Florida. At least you will have a nice week on the ship to recover! Reading all the pre-cruise stuff on packing had me laughing so hard. I'm like Justin, I can pack the day before we leave in about 15 minutes. It take The Boss much longer. She loves her new Beis luggage BTW, thanks for the suggestion. I really look forward to reading along for the rest of your trip.

Excursion recommendations for Roatan and Costa Maya?
GregD replied to queenbee's topic in Shore Excursions
Another vote for Maya Chan here. For Roatan we always use Bodden Tours. They offer fully customizable excursions and their prices are very affordable. -
Any Recent Changes to Star Class?
GregD replied to Sea Squirrel's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We were on Oasis in February and this was the same for us. We were told, and I actually prefer it this way, that this was to cut down on food waste. On our previous star class cruises a lot of the snacks got wasted. We did arrange to have a standing order of fresh fruit and some cookies delivered each day, none of which went to waste. This seems to be hit or miss, and will probably always be inconsistent based on staffing, previous guest departure times and your arrival time. We've had two star class cruises where the room was not ready when we boarded. The most recent one, the room was ready when we got on the ship. We also had inconsistencies with the luggage. I will second what @AshleyDillo said as far as other expectations. I will add that on my most recent star class cruise, I booked Izumi in the CP beforehand so I could guarantee the time that I wanted, but inadvertently booked the wrong day. By the time I realized it, all the slots were filled. In the pre cruise communication I got the "I can't guarantee" response from the Genie about moving to the time I did want. As soon as we were on board, and we were shown our schedule, Izumi was moved to what I had requested. Our bridge tour was run by the Genie, but we did have the opportunity to talk to the bridge team after. We were only allowed access to just one bridge wing. The galley tour was about 5 minutes long -

Can I bring an electrical bicycle on a cruise?
GregD replied to Colombia20102018's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Hoverboards and "sports gear" are listed in the prohibited items. It probably wouldn't be a stretch for them to deny the E-Bike based on that, especially with the numerous battery fires that have been linked to them. -

I think we were turned off by the mayo with the calamari, and I believe that Heather got the lasagna and did not like it one bit. I did get the lamb chops and those were good. I think we here hitting coma status too so that probably didn't help. -

My first impression of Jamies while on Anthem was not good. I may have to give it another try when I'm on Harmony next February. @Lovetocruise2002pictures and descriptions are giving me second thoughts. I will still refuse to to eat the calamari with whatever sauce that Jamies serves with it though..... We do the same thing. Must be a NJ/NY thing......Friday is pizza night in our house. We order the wings from one place, salad from another, and Pizza from a third. Thankfully we are in a small village and they are all on the way home from Johnny's TKD studio where he has a class Friday evenings. I now make the wings myself though too -

My last visit to Chops it was a Maine lobster. They removed the claws, took the meat out, and put said meat in the body cavity for you. -

I keep watching your flights too (totally invested on hoping you guys make it out) and their flight will be fine. The plane you will be on is coming from Seattle today and should arrive in DTW after all the worst of the snow is due to end. I think you are good to go!
