  1. Our food wasn't that bad that we needed to complain it's just one of these things like others have said perhaps he should have explained the set up of the restaurant better nice getting the bottle of wine though. I hope it made up for a disappointing meal? Thanks for this really want to try 150. I'm going to book it for my wife's birthday. Will probably end up going for the three meal package again as I want to try Sabor and Jamies as well ?
  2. I asked for this on Explorer several times but it just looked like a rum strawberry daquari. What's the difference.
  3. If you are staying in a boardwalk or park balcony he'll get the soda or royal refresh for free. But like others say just grab bottles from bars. We always had a supply in our room of 6-8 bottles so your son could just take them to be honest they buy the water probably at 0.20c per bottle if that. They rarely rang them up.
  4. We were on explorer of the seas 18-24 May from Southampton and bought the 3 meal package onboard. Our first was at Giovanni's. The waiter was very energetic and eager to please but he didn't really explain how it worked very well. We were a group of 6 and we were chatting and looking at the menu while he was taking the orders. Some of us ordered anti-pasti some appetizers and some just wanted entrees. However we didn't realise that all would be served separately and in order. So first out came 2 anti-pasties and nothing else then the appetizers then the entrees. We entered at 6 and those that wanted the entrees weren't served until 7.45. Also some wanted the risotto as the main as they were vegeterians but it was obviously kept on the burner too long and was mush. None of our meals was particularly hot. I wanted to complain but the person eating didn't want to make any fuss. Anyway long story but can't recommend giovannis on the basis of the meal we had. However Chops and Izumi were absolutely fantastic, food served hot and atmoshpere great especially Chops the ribeye was succulent and perfectly cooked. We are on Harmony this August and want to try again with the restaurants but not sure which ones to go for given our experiences on Explorer.
  5. That's strange I live in Belgium and they were happy to quote me a couple of months ago for the group cruise next year. Also I know plenty of people on another board that use US TA all the time.
  6. If you are trying to work out if the drinks package is viable then it's probably not. But don't go only on alcholic drinks. You can have smoothies, premium coffees (talking illy espressos here not your regular starbucks), iced lattes, bottled water (handy for the room and excursions) and unlimited cocktails. You'll be amazed how quickly it adds up.
  7. The fosters (if you can stomach it) certainly give the best bang for your buck. I like the corona when I'm not counting the $ and red stripe when I'm on a budget ?
  8. I didn't get the chance today with a heavywork load. Will try tomorrow and update. Annoyed as I sent a mail last night to my TA and no reply. Be the first and last time with that TA.
  9. Many thanks once again might also be looking for 2021 on this itinerary.
  10. We booked HoS way back in Oct 2018 when it had the drinks package and paid 3972€ for 3 in an inside. Now when I check I can get a deck 10 balcony for 3386€ however we are only 60 days out and I've paid the final balance. I was wondering if I'll still be allowed to swap out the rooms. I understand that I'll loose the drinks promo however I can always just buy it via the planner and the cost works out about the same give or take a few euro. Any Europeans or knowledgeable persons know if RC will allow me to change rooms or do they only accept changes when the price increases ? Thanks for any help, I will phone my TA tomorrow but she's not the best and I would like to already be informed.
  11. Hi John, Thanks for this detailed post. How you planning to get to San Juan? cheer, John
