Chops varies big time depending on the ship. No clue why Royal is so inconsistent with this particular restaurant. UT is still my best Chops experience to date.

And then dipped into the mushroom soup! yum!

That's where are "being used to light eating" is helpful. This scenario happens at MJ often. What we do is we all order different apps/mains/desserts and share it all. Often, Hubby knows that I will only want a few bites anyway. The only things I don't share are fried ice cream from La Bamba, and the Mushroom soup from Chops. BTW, that pretzel bread goes really well with the mushroom soup, just saying...lol

This is always the problem for us too. We eat very light and healthy at home. Very few cheat days. But on a cruise we let ourselves indulge in whatever. Problem is that because we are not used to eating a lot, we get full really fast. I totally agree with @AshleyDillo and @WAAAYTOOO. For years we had major FOMO and tried so hard to maximize everything. Now, with the UDP, we look at it more as a break from the regular. We know what we like, and we are content with ordering only that. We also don't chase the daily food credits. In March, I tried to chase the daily food credit at Izumi in the Park for Bubble Cones (my niece was a major motivator lol), but by Day 4, I felt pretty ill from Bubble cones. Probably won't do that again in December. Also, I won't have my niece's influence that sailing lol

Random singing. If you have time, go check it out at least once. If you miss it, nothing to be sad about.

I wasn’t trying to be on a pre-cruise diet lol. Just slim pickings on a busy day

It did on my sailing as well.

OMG...Those MJ pics! I am so jealous. Currently eating cheese and grapes if anyone is wondering

We're going to miss you by one week! We sail on the 27th and Hairspray was only showing up for Day 1 as well on our sailing. I also found that odd.

The chocolate peanut butter ones are my favourite!

When we stayed in 1758 on Allure, we did not hear any noise at all from Coastal Kitchen. That cabin still remains one of my favourites to date.

Yes! Can’t stand either one.

The Coco Loco is one drink I don't care for at all! Even in the early days, before PDCC, it wasn't good.

Totally agree!

Looking forward to the pictures in this one!
