Well, here in NC the eclipse was not so much. Temperature dropped, shadows got long, birds were quiet and there was a run on the grocery store. They ran out of bread, eggs and beer. Kind of like what happens when a hurricane is coming. Today folks are asking, where are the day after eclipse sales? Amazing how mother nature messes with folks!

Interesting, in the past B2Bs we have been on there was no offer for a B2B group lunch in the MDR. We always book lunch in Chops after we get back on board as a "new cruiser". The price is right, no big crowds and the food is great. I agree with what barjoe said above about "it may depend on the number of B2Bers there are".

Will be on the Explorer OTS this coming July. We will be embarking and disembarking out of Ravenna, Italy visiting four of the Greek islands with two cruise days. Will they be offering Greek food in the MDR and Windjammer in addition to the normal fare? Efcharisto'! rjac

I'm sure that what we see here is similar to the popularity that Tina Fey enjoys. She has had to hire body doubles to cover her multiple commitments.

Great, thank you very much for your info and quick reply!

Our cruise ship (Explorer OTS) gets into the Athens port on July 18th at 7:00 am. What time can we get off the ship for an excursion on our own? Thanks.

Golf is life!

Agreed!

What ports would this cruise ship visit? How is the captain & crew suppose to see the port and starboard side of the ship from that nivigation deck? Impossible logistic support. Stick to what Royal has, this ship is ridiculous.

Does anyone here know if Giovanni's offers a gluten free lunch menu/option on the Explorer OTS? Grazia!

Now now boys and girls, some of you are in violation of rule #2 on Matt's post "Don't Do Any of These Things" regarding the OP post. Gotts to be nice or you will have to walk the plank!

As we get older, we have to think positive. Just the other day I fell down a flight of stairs. Instead of getting up I just sat there and thought, that<s the fastest I have moved in years! I doubt liquor is the answer. But it's worth a shot. What do you call children born in a brothel? Brothel sprouts.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Should be no different from a b2b elsewhere. You'll get instructions from Royal the last cruise day before you get to the embarkation port. Very easy, all the b2bers get off the ship together, get a new sea pass card and then reboard ahead of the rest of the cruisers. The reason you have to get off the ship is to clear you out off the computer passenger list so it shows a 0 count. Very painless and not a lot of time. Enjoy!

Why are strippers like a boat? Because they don't work if you stop throwing money at them!

This summer we are booked on the Explorer OTS to cruise the Greek Islands and we are flying into Venice. Looking for travel recommendations from Venice to the port at Ravenna. Anyone done this? Thanks. rjac PS - HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Count us in! We love the 270 cafe and venue. Not crowded at lunch and you can find the kummelweck sandwich there also!
