I am very open to people wearing the clothes they feel most comfortable wearing, as long as it meets society's minimum standards of decency. On my last sailing with Vision of the Seas, I witnessed multiple people at breakfast in only their bathrobes from the room which I believe you should do your best to avoid. I would also strongly advise not walking around barefoot in public areas.

On Vision of the Seas I was informed by a waiter that very few people liked the Mexican night dinner. When we asked how could a meal on such a wonderful ship actually be undesirable, he told us he would show us the entire menu the following night. What I did not understand at the time was that he would actually bring out every single dish on the menu, except the desserts because those were great. And he was right, they were all subpar. I learned a valuable lesson, always trust the waiter.

This has been a longstanding issue on this ship previously covered here on our forum back in July.
 

I see, so if memory serves me right this is probably located in the Windjammer buffet because the only other place to eat a meal on Vision of the Seas on that deck is Park Place in the Solarium and it's not so much a meal as snacks most of the day and that's usually when the Windjammer is closed. Most unfortunate if this source is correct.

It was on Reddit but they since locked it,but I screen shot the post...

It was an amazing cruise, we had a little rain in Port Canaveral where we visited Disney World. Then we skipped Miami because the port was closed and I didn't want to visit that place anyways so we sailed off to Nassau early. Beautiful weather there, and also the following day at Freeport. I had a great time!

I will pray for our souls as we head out from Baltimore tomorrow into a giant Nor'easter in Florida.

Vision of the Seas December 2023
My first time organizing a cruise for several rooms. 🙂

This is just one reason why cruise lines need to come down hard on people that intentionally violate cruise rules, allergies run the gamut from minor to life threatening. I have a niece with a severe allergies to cats. Which is a shame, since I own four cats so she can never visit.  I remember back in the days when if someone broke the rules of the sea we forced them into a rowboat and sent them off to a nearby deserted island. When someone was hoarding all the rum we made them walk the plank.

I don't blame the cat, if I were one you can be sure I would sneak into every suitcase in the hopes of a Royal Caribbean cruise.

I saw the footage on the YouTube channel La Lida Loca. This is most unfortunate for the passengers impacted, their families, the cruise industry, the government of the Bahamas, and other impacted parties. The loss of any life even if just one person is too many. I suspect there will be an official government investigation to determine the cause of this unfortunate sinking. My thoughts and prayers go out to the community.

Pizza fans, we won with our voices!

I have always wanted to go on a cruise to Alaska or up north, somewhere away from the Caribbean or Bermuda.
I used to go whale watching on Cape Cod every year on my grandfather's sailboat.
My travel agent has recently been promoting Royal Caribbean trips. He seemed overly enthusiastic about all the wonderful wildlife up north.

On my last cruise which ended this morning for Enchantment of the Seas, we had a drunk guest on our first night in the dining room who loudly proclaimed that he would buy drinks for everyone in the room even after being reminded of the drink package rules. We never saw him again after that night....

Cruise Directors post their profiles to LinkedIn a job recruitment board with contains their resumes. It's easy to find most of the cruise directors as long as you know the name of the ship you will be on.
Also there is another website which I will not name because it's a rival site of ours that keeps an up to date list of cruise directors. Here is the list of current cruise directors.
