    Thanks. As of right now RC has no excursions for Cork but it is still real early. Thanks for the advice...I appreciate it. Come to think of it, being left in Ireland sounds pretty good!!

    I actually liked the food at Johnny rockets.  The fries and onion rings were great and the burger was cooked well.   I think after a week of eating steak and other more gourmet fare,  i was ready to slum it and eat a burger.   It was also an easy place to finally meet up with my 13 year old and grab a late lunch that wasn't buffet food.   Jane

    From what I've read recently, Honey Stung chicken might be a thing of the past. I hope not as I will look for it in Oct. Also, I look forward to visiting both Chops and Giovanni's. The menus both look great!

    That's too bad.  I might have to book her before she heads over (if they do a few sailings in the US first like they did with Quantum).

    My pleasure. I am excited for you going on Navigator for the first time. It has many similarities to Freedom class, but is more intimate, and the crew is fantastic. The AC in the gym worked well, and I hope it does for you too. Don't forget to check out the peekaboo bridge just in front of the fitness center. You can access it from the forward side doors in the Solarium. This feature is lacking on Freedom class. Out of the four classes I have sailed, Voyager class is my favorite followed closely by Empress.

    Thanks Spiegeje, much appreciated. A hot tub inside the main part of the gym is a first for me cant wait to try it out and the cool down spot as if the Navigator is anything like the Indy there was no air con working in the gym on all our cruises on her

    Back in the day, half the time I'd get my wine opened without a corkage fee. I always felt like I was making out like a bandit when that happened

    For me 'the best' was actually something that cost them very littler.....
    On the first night of the cruise we were looking coke zero in one of the coke freestyle machines. Turns out the 2 machines in the Wave Jammer were out of all diet drinks. We ended up asking a staff member who then rang around the other locations on the ships to see if any machine had coke zero only to find they  had not been stocked for the cruise. As we were talking to him we found out he was the manager of the Wave Jammer. Anyway... long story short every 2 days after that a plate of an assortment of cookies would be delivered to our room compliments of the team at the Wave Jammer.
    Again... this cost them very little but meant so much to us and will be something we will always remember.

    Old Bay is a mixture of spices .... First created in Baltimore.  It's most notably used in/on steamed Blue Crabs, Crab Cakes .... all the things a good Baltimore native should be masters at creating and consuming ....
    As time progressed, we, Maryland natives especially, discovered its many other uses on different foods.... I think the most common that's not seafood related is fried chicken, chicken wings, etc.  In fact, the local Buffalo Wild Wings used a standard menu when they first opened until they discovered it was a Must Have for the local population (like myself)...
    Personally, I love it on everything.  Macaroni & Cheese, Corn on the Cob, anything potato related - There's also a company just over the line in Pennsylvania, Herr Foods, that is the authorized user of Old Bay to put it on Potato Chips, Popcorn, Cheese Curls and a few other items (the Old Bay Popcorn is crazy good) ..... It also goes well in a Bloody Mary.  There's a local brewery that has created Old Bay Beer .....
    I guess the only I haven't tried it on is Cheerios --- not quite there yet.
    It used to be only sold regionally (I can recall sending cases of it to relatives in Florida & California..... but since McCormick bought them out, it's pretty much sold everywhere..... I'll even hear it mentioned on the Food Network .
    Hope this helps,
    Mark

    The gym on Navigator is every bit as good as the gym on Freedom which I assume is the same as on Indy. It is almost imperceptibly smaller.
    My favorite cool down spot was one of the stationary bikes on the starboard side...incredible views every time.
    Yes, I recall a hot tub in the middle of the gym between the aerobics room and the locker rooms.

    Thanks DocLc, shame about the freestyle machines but not the end of the world. As for Sabor hopefully he will be ok with that as he is a bit of a plain Jane where food is concerned.

    On Coco Cay, at the far end of the island, there was/is a high top wooden table with 3 or 4 chairs around it.  It's used by the owners of the island to watch the sunset.  I know I'm not the only one who's found it, but I came across it Geocaching.  That day, at that time, I was the only one there, and it was so peaceful and quiet.  I could see the ship, but the vast expanse of the ocean is what caught my eye, knowing I was on an itty bitty island in the middle of the big blue wet thing.
