I was on Harmony the week of March 4 this year. I have attached a photo of the lunch menu from one day that I ate in the Main Dining Room. They also had much more on the buffet than I had seen on previous ships. There was a station with a build-your-own stir-fry and many prepared meats and side items.
A stir-fry station sounds pretty good. I've only heard mention of a build-your-own pasta station before.

Correct. I've yet to make a reservation in advance.
Do you find a lot of people doing the same? what's the longest you've ever had to wait?

If you have My Time Dining, you would reserve it through the Cruise Personalizer on the Royal Caribbean website. You'll need your reservation number and sail date to access your reservation if it was not booked directly through Royal online. Click on dining on you should see it there. Note that the option might not appear until about 90 days out.
If you opted for early or late seating when you booked, there's nothing for you to do.
With MTD, you can make a reservation ahead or daily or just show up and wait for the next available table, correct?

Yes, they do. You'll find bar soap for the sink and a liquid soap and a shampoo/condition mix in dispensers mounted to the wall of the shower. I bring my own conditioner as the shampoo doesn't offer enough conditioning for me. The bar soap and that in the dispensers will be replenished as needed.
Do they offer any other toiletries?

On our cruise on Oasis in December, the sold popcorn and beverages at the back of the theatre for certain shows (Love and Marriage show and the aerial show for sure). It may differ on the type of show and the ship.
I wonder if that is different since it's basically an outdoor theatre?
-
That should make some people very happy and others very mad.

LOVE the tutti salad....rarely even order off the menu, we just get that! Last year on LOS they had a sushi bar one day -- glad we got there early. It was delicious, but the line was to the door when we left. That was really the only day we ever saw a line; it took time to work through the queue.
The salads do look great and I can understand about the sushi. If it's included, it's going to be popular.

Fairly good curry in Windjammer, spicy but not vindaloo or phall territory
I like hot, but it also has to have flavor. The trend to food that is so hot, you can't even the flavors, is not for me. It's just a gimmick.

Wore a nice suit and dress shirt with NO tie for formal last month on Brilliance. Perfectly acceptable as others were dressed in polo shirts and slacks and I told the wife I was glad I did not bring the Tuxedo as I would have stuck out as the only one in MDR.
I have to dress up for work so don't feel the need when I'm on vacation.
As I wear button down shirts and Dockers for work, it will be like just another day at work. ONLY THE BEST DAY OF WORK EVER!

I don't know about food, but I loved the Tropical theater on Serenade. It felt very welcoming and comfortable. I actually can't remember the other 2 ship's theaters, Tropical is stuck in my head. I don't want to ruin it for anyone, I'll just say it reminded me of styles a few decades before my time, in a good, clean way.
Looks like a old venue from the golden age of vaudeville or something. Hope the entertainment is as good as the theatre looks. Maybe the snacks should be had before or after the show if people feel that strongly about it. I don't want to be that guy.

We enjoy dressing up and take advantage of the professional quality photo ops.
Good point. I have plenty of pictures in my overalls already! :)
-
These are not movie theaters. Nor is it dinner theater. These are professionals who are working extremely hard at their chosen career who are performing live for the your entertainment. Eating is quite disrespectful to them not to mention to the people sitting around said eater listening to them crunch on Fritos or ooh and ahh at the deliciousness of their chocolate cake.
Everyone should enjoy their dessert before or after they attend the theater.
Thanks for your opinion, but you did not answer the question. Maybe somebody else out there has the answer. And by the way, our ship has a movie theatre.

I haven't been able to find any info on the tapas served at Vintges. Anybody have any info?

I have seen some spicy foods, usually something with curry and I've only seen it for dinner. Its a hit and miss, you just have to look.
Curries work for me! :)
-
Do they usually offer some type of spicy dish in the Windjammer or MDR for lunch or dinner? I love spicy foods. I don't just want to add hot sauce to dishes, it's just not the same, although I do like hot sauce.
-
I've seen that some sugar free desserts are offered in the Windjammer, albeit some what limited, but want to know if they are offered in the MDR, as well as specialty restaurants? I need to watch my sugar, but also need my desserts! :)

So I'm a huge fan of dressing up...but we were considering letting my husband be more comfortable on formal night by dress, slack, dress shirt and jacket but NO tie. Can't remember last year, but do a lot of men who are dressed up, actually forgo the tie on formal night?
From what I've read here it runs the gambit from Dockers and a polo, to tuxedos. Someone even mentioned awhile ago that there were going to bring their kilt!
-
Is the current promotion - 3rd night free- considered a good one? It ends tonight and I'm a newbie looking at my 2nd cruise but not sure if this is so good I need to act asap before it ends tonight!
I think the term "good deal" is all relative. If you believe it is a good deal then it is. You will drive yourself crazy trying to always chase a better deal, believe me. If you're comfortable with the price, book it, sit back, relax and don't think about it again.
-
Considering they don't really enforce the rules, you can still wear it.
FWIW, the addition of shorts last week was only for casual night, so technically, you would not have been able to wear shorts for formal night ;)
Oh well, on to plan b. Overalls! :lol:

I finally told my wife about our anniversary cruise in Oct. Yesterday was our half anniversary and so I had a tee shirt made with a picture of Serenade of the Seas on the front and on the back was 2017 and the dates and names of our ports of call.
She completely lost her mind!
I'm glad I don't have to keep this secret any longer and sneak around on Royal Caribbean blog! :D

I wish they had Scrapple .... just sayin ..... But at least I can still get my triangle hash browns ....
I tried scrapple once....once! :)
How can you tell if the bed is near the slider or the sofa in balcony staterooms on the Oasis Class Ships?

If some rooms have it one way and others a different way, couldn't you just ask your steward to move it around? Somebody has moved it at some point. They do it for bed configuration.
