Just be thankful you don’t have that absolutely horrific Thanksgiving dinner on the menu when you sail. The only think actually more disgusting then the Thanksgiving dinner was the dessert. They tried to get fancy with a slice of pumpkin cheesecake but IMHO it was an epic fail. What happened to real pumpkin pie with a giant blob of whip cream on top?

Yes, I really like his quick witted interaction with the audience. This guy is a gem for Royal Caribbean.

Oh I know, it’s a big mess of broken Champaign bottles and confetti. It gets really crazy! Good question re: venue on Odyssey. I don’t think the music hall is big enough but that would be my choice on that ship. You guys will have an amazing time.

I hope so. We have been enjoying the extended trip before the Thanksgiving week sailing with the kids in Disney the past couple years. Good times

This pricing MUST be for the overwater cabanas at Coco Cay. Another typo from the IT department. Seriously, I will always upsize my happy meal but this is going slightly overboard. I think we will watch the promenade movie unfold at midnight while standing.

100% agree. The cruise ship shower jokes have “jumped the shark”.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday on Wonder we decided to go to the Attic comedy club and saw Paul Ogata. This guy was hilarious and a true professional at his craft. We literally didn’t stop laughing through his entire set. I hope to see him again on another ship (possibly Icon).

Oops I thought I attached a picture. This was a band covering Motown hits from the 60’s and 70’s. Not bad by any means but just seemed like the music hall needed at least a time slot or two for some rock or 70’s-80’s hits. I guess we were spoiled by Phoenix the last few music hall experiences.

We were just on Wonder last week for a holiday week and the tribute band “Temperature” was there all week. Not my style music at all and IMHO a terrible waste of a once great music venue.

Unfortunately the source was Wiki which is not my favorite and most reliable source.

Of SOTS is scheduled to enter service 8/2025, when will her home port and sailings be announced? We are looking to book Thanksgiving 2025 and already have Icon booked for Thanksgiving 2024. Thanks in advance.

This sounds like an absolute nightmare. If you want to expend some time you could always check out Kennedy space center after cruise and take rideshare to the airport.

Don’t fall into the depths of this black hole of fake news.

This is fake news. I would question everything the moment it was suggested that slots “were not considered casino”. RC puts 400+ machines in a ships casino for a good reason. This is just ridiculous. I was on Wonder last week and had more comped drinks at the casino bar than any other bar on the ship (there are slot machines built into the bar!!!!!).

I have walked from the port to downtown a number of times and it’s not so bad if you enjoy walking. I recall it being a couple miles with some very interesting sites and people watching along the way.

Symphony 12/30 sailing. Hoping for a major Royal Up score this time!

Can anyone recall if pre booking is available to reserve tables or chairs on the Promenade for NYE? I feel silly asking considering we have cruised during this holiday for 5+ years I just don’t remember the process. I’m not looking for dining reservation's. Thanks!

Just walked off Wonder this morning after completing this same voyage (again). We had an awesome time at Nachi Cocom beach club in Cozumel and I recommend it (along with paradise beach). The pool at the end of the pier in Costa Maya is a destination. There were multiple dining options, massive pool and lots of shopping. I still haven’t ventured to Maya Chan but I’m also not a fan of mainland Mexico. The pool is an excellent place to spend a few hours especially if you have kids. IMHO Roatan is kind of dumpy but we enjoyed the Jolly Roger snorkeling on a catamaran. I haven’t really found anything else redeeming on that island and personally don’t want to pet monkeys or sloths while on vacation. The only downside to the Jolly Roger tour was the bus ride back and forth was not as efficient as a tour where the catamaran picks you up on the pier by the ship. Overall great experience though at all stops. Also, it looks like they are building a costa maya style pool destination at the Roatan port which might be ready.

I ordered from the Chops selections last night in the MDR and the quality was sub par. I have ordered the surf and turf every year for more than a decade and it’s been great but not this time around. The lobster at one point was a decent sized Maine that was grilled and halved with the claw meat included and it was excellent. What I received on my plate last night was a very small tail which was a tiny bit larger than the free rock lobster tails they serve on lobster night. It was still decent but the presentation was off which IMHO is just another cutback coming to light that I noticed.

This might be another case of the balcony door switch cutting out the AC…..

Yeah we had a great time. I think you will be happy with the chill atmosphere. We arrived around 10am and left about 1pm and there were never significant crowds. The server called a taxi for us and within 10 minutes we were on the way back to the ship. Service has always been consistently good but I normally tip the server early on and that may very well be the reason.

I still prefer Nachi to the other choices. We had excellent service and some cold drinks today. Good times!

Visiting Cozumel today and Nachi Cocum with the family on Wonder. Looking forward to a great beach day at Nachi as we always do!

I wouldn’t put too much thought into Royal up at all especially a suite on Wonder. The probability of winning is very very low.

We arrived to the parking garage at 9:30 and dropped bags. Literally zero interruptions from the car to the playmakers bar at 10:15.
