The MDR breakfast menu doesn't appear to have eggs Benedict anymore, has this been gone for awhile now?

In the Main Dining Room you are ordering buffet food cooked hours in advance and sitting under heat lamps when its dinner service. I highly doubt these "extra" entrees will be cooked fresh to order, if so maybe its worth the 10.00 (And skip the first course) ahahahhahahha

You have just described the optimal business model. I cant get enough people to pay 7.00 for a sit down unlimited meal but i can get 4X the amount of people to pay 3 - 5 dollars for less food by the pool.

I think you are incorrect here. RCL did not ALWAYS allow wine to be brought on board, this is a rather new thing that started almost the same time they started their ALL YOU CAN DRINK packages. Also i can not understand how pouring yourself a full glass of wine is why others charge a corkage fee?

Its about at Land Based pricing now for a johnny rockets at a mall. RCL loves this because you technically pay for food in your cruise fare and slowly but surely you are seeing them able charge again for "better" food.

nobody would judge you if you show up with a pour like this to dinner. Most of us would be jealous and impressed

Push the button for a few seconds before putting your cup under the dispenser to ensure no flavored syrup is lingering.

Matt Replied to this, you would want to be to the terminal at 1 PM so you can make it into chops by 1:30. You do not have to be in chops at 1 pm, they will seat you at 1:25 pm for lunch

/me is impressed at the use of lollygag in 2 posts. Totally underused word ?

Mine shows the 24.99 with a 20% off banner in the corner. We know those banner overlays are often wrong or missing but 20% does seem right from 32 to 25/day (close enough in rounding terms). What i like is the royal refreshment on my cruise planner says 10% off and it is 20.00. Yesterday it said 20% off and was 26.00

That is very unfortunate. Typically this style of restaurant is about the atmosphere like some of the older pictures reference, white table cloths, fancy glasswear, covered chairs, dancers and people (trying to be PC) in Goucho pants. If its just a salad bar and some meat being delivered that doesn't make it seem like a "special" evening. Hopefully they have went back to their roots or were just not doing their jobs that week.

I have read some people say they gave up on the tablecloths and dressing the chairs at dinner time and just leave things the same as they were for the breakfast/lunch in the solarium? Is this still the case? If its just a buffet of salads and nothing to write home about meats isnt that what the windjammer serves nightly?

I will be on allure in 22 days and will capture a full cruise planner copy for the entire week. This will be the allure eastern itinearry.

Im sitting here with my store bought chocolate croissant with the faucet running imagining its the ocean. 23 days till Allure cant come quick enough

Keeping with the theme: El Coyote feo, thinking the people would hit their heads on the ceiling though.

Severe fog looks to be rolling in...... Just disregard the perfectly blue skies at the end of the animation loop....?

Awesome, gonna take a look thanks. I know there are risks with driving cars in islands like this, i know they try to get you for every scratch and ding but ive learned you take so many pictures before you sign the contract so they have nothing at all to get you for unless of course something new happens.

Wanted to get anyones feedback on their experience renting a car and driving around Sint Maarten. Ive been at least 8 times to Sint Maarten but have always just used the taxis to orient beach or elsewhere. I have rented cars in Aruba and Curacao and really enjoyed seeing as much of the islands as possible and getting to stop at more local places for a meal or drinks. What I do know however is Sint Maarten is hilly and has many winding roads. Can anyone comment on their experiences? There is a HERTZ right at the pier which seems very convenient and the cost is very reasonable for a rental for the day.

"Plan is to hit the road around 9am tomorrow morning. Should take us a little over an hour to get there. I already informed my wife I'd prefer to be in Tampa by 9am, but I got "the look"." Perhaps you can convince your wife its gator season and traffic could be snarled because of Gator Crossings on the across the state trip

When it says 50% off, they mean up to 50% off the prices if you were to buy each venue separately on the ship. Its not 50% off the cruise planner rate.

Typically Muster drill is anywhere from 3:45 - 4:30 pm for typical sailings that leave between 4 - 5 pm. You can always use Matts handy dandy Cruise Compass repository to look at the actual ship you are on and look at the schedule to see at what time on Day 1 the Muster drill is.

No Freestyle machines on Navigator when i was on it in 2018

This is a human being not some deck chair that went overboard.

Might want to reconsider the topic title, seems completely disrespectful and not in good taste.
