Also, it seems to me the portions are smaller than a typical American restaurant.

I hate to see food wasted, anywhere, but if you're not sure about an entree just order it. Maybe someone else at your table will like it, and eat it, if you don't.

I didn't know they did this in WJ until it's come up on here over the past few months. Will definitely check it out next time. We skipped the MDR last time one night because nothing on the menu spoke to us.

Chicken and waffles.

I like the BBQ ideas.

Never had an issue.

For Grandeur there is no need, or ability, to reserve seats for shows (unless there is a mystery dinner or something random like that). No free water slides on Coco Cay. A big waterslide on land you can buy a day pass for, and a floating water park you can buy tickets for (1 hour slots).

Loved the water park in Coco Cay! An hour may not sound like much, but having to swim to each inflatable is a little tiring. We went at like 10am, and there were maybe 10 people in the park, it was great.

If I'm not mistaken, at least one pool is always open. If they're cleaning the Solarium then the main pool will be open, or vice versa. But yeah, they'll kick you out I imagine. I've never actually been in a pool when they're ready to clean it. Same goes for hot tubs.

lol, I didn't know it switched

The Quiet Man, great movie!!!

On our last cruise we ended up using chocolate milk from the WJ to tweak it a little. Kinda like a melted coffee milkshake.

That bungalow looks pretty sweet. I would take that most likely, I'd hate to get my feet all over the bed trying to get comfortable and whatnot. And, I'm not really a napper at this point in my life, still too hyper. Anyway, that's my never-rented-either two cents. Have fun!

True. So many people do fine climbing, then freeze up coming down their first time.

Do it! Obviously listen to your body, but have fun ☺

I've seen a lot of topics come up on this blog/forum (no I haven't read ALL of it), but never the rock walls (random brief comments have been made). I'd love to hear your stories and whatnot! I'll start it off with mine. I was stoked before our first cruise when my wife said Enchantment had a climbing wall, "on a ship?", I was a little confused. Couldn't actually climb that first time around because I threw my back out washing my hands at a Rays game 2 days before we left. But, our last 3 I've been there. On Freedom I climbed 6 out of 7 days, and there were I think 2 routes on the wall I couldn't do, they just kicked my butt. On Serenade I was out there in the wind and rain hoping it would be open...nope, just me looking like a moron out there. It was open a few times when the weather was good, and I think 1 route beat me. I really love seeing ALL ages trying it out. Some give up too quick, but others dig down, and the look on their face when they make it is priceless.

I chose a Brilliance 5-nighter as our first cruise with a baby, 7 just seemed too long. We'll see what happens.Some of my in-laws live in various cities in that area, so I'm hoping to con one of them into taking us to and from the port, and letting us park our car at their house 😉 I'm now waiting for the later Tampa sailings for maybe a Rhapsody week.

I'd be the first to sign up! ðŸ˜

We saw a couple at guest services asking for their shampoo-and-such dispenser to please be filled whenever their attendant had the chance; didn't know that was option. We bring our own, but it's nice to know if we run out or forget it we're still covered.

I just think they look cool...and I really really really wanna walk out on one.

The quicker the better, so the crew can get the ship and themselves ready for the next group of passengers.

Slightly off subject... You can book your excursions for a cruise you already have planned (depending on how far out it is), and receive a discount. We were onboard in April and booked some of our Oct excursions for 10% off. So, you could book your next cruise, then head over to the shore excursions desk and ask about booking some excursions before debarkation.

MDR will be open.

I'm waiting to see what will be sailing out of Tampa.

In Maine we had no issues with Verizon, but Canada got weird. We might have a different plan, so don't write the maple leaf state off just yet. Good luck!
