It was an option on the cruise planner before the cruise, and it was scheduled for lunch on one sea day. 

Thank you!

I did the Sushi & Saki lunch on the Adventure last month, and I would highly recommend that one.  Other wise you can order ala carte

Is that an onboard experience that you book or something you just order with the server?  Thank you for letting me know about this option.

Yes, Izumi is typically open for lunch. Note it is normally open only on sea days for lunch. Dining credit from UDP is still the same $35 at lunch. First time experience, depends on what your comfort factor is when it comes to eating raw fish. If raw fish is an "ick" factor just keep in mind any rolls with fish or sashimi listed will typically have raw fish. Shrimp, crab, and krab will be cooked. Don't forget Izumi also has kitchen cooked dishes if you're not ready to venture down the sushi trail. 

If you're willing to be adventurous you could always tell your server to go the "omakase"/"I'll leave it up to you" route.

 

My own personal selections based off going Prix Fixe way: crispy rice spicy tuna, spicy crispy shrimp roll, champagne lobster in yuzu wrap roll, and for desserts whatever catches my eye at that point. 

Thank you CGTLH.  I had to look-up what the difference is between sushi and sashimi.  (Such a newb am I.)  Raw fish does not sound appealing, but tens of millions of people are goofy for it, so I'm going to give it a try.  The worst that could happen is I don't like it.  Then I'll just go the Dog House after  I was Googling images of the sushi you mentioned.  When the images for the champagne lobster in yuzu wrap roll shot your photos from May 2019 were given!

I'm really excited to try sushi for the time while on my cruise.  My son has zero interest in doing this, so I was wondering if  a) Izumi is open for lunch b) if so, is the credit the same as for dinner (UDP here), c) any recommendations for a first time sushi experience?  I'm sure the staff will be able to advise me well, but I like having multiple input when I know absolutely NOTHING about something.  Thank you in advance!

Had a table next to us (group of 8ish) that wore the same shorts + muscle shirts all week in the main dining room. My 9yr daughter kept reminding us they were dressed wrong and of course had to say it loudly every night.

That would be my son at any age.

If anyone gets a definitive answer please post it here. I also got my card laminated for safety the Staples where I did it was doing them for free so seemed like allot of people were doing it. On my card the stickers they used for my two shots cover all four of the printed lines so if they are doing boosters there is no room. I'm not sure what could be done if for some bizarre reason they would not accept a laminated card.

The doctor's office I work in has been was the location for our health systems' covid vaccine clinics (at least a couple thousand injections at this time).  If laminating the cards would have caused them to be invalid, we would have been instructed to notify patients upon receipt.  FYI- It's illegal to laminate your paper Medicare card

Gratuity is the tip, just a fancier word.

Thank you!

Is the gratuity in addition to a tip?  I thought that the gratuity was the tip.  Going on my first RCC in March and don't want to stiff the staff.

I knew the bigger drink packages included milkshakes, but not the Refreshment Package  How exciting!  Thank you for letting me know.

Does anyone know if the refreshment package works for soda at Johnny Rockets?  The flavored syrups for sodas at Johnny Rockets?

Where do you recommend a person stay the night before a cruise departing from the Miami port?
