    Well I tried them for the first time this last cruise and the wife and I don't care for them.  Honestly we didn't see where the savory was in them. Sorry to be a buzz kill on them ?

    You don't need to worry about them. They've been discontinued. 

     

    At least that's what we were told last summer.

    Lol!  I love the choice of wording there!  I would love to know what you think of CK on Anthem because we'll be dining there in March.  Actually, we decided the opposite and booked all nights in CK this time.  Just curious, how did you get the menu for CK ahead of time.  Was that what you meant my "sourced out"?

    I understand on a Voyager class ship you need to complete 5 laps to complete 1 mile.and on an Oasis class it is 2 laps that need to be completed.

    i also read that on Oasis it is on deck 5 and it is all under cover but I haven’t been on one myself.

     

    What you read about Oasis is factual.

  5. CK when we have the ultimate dining package?

    I haven't done the CK since they changed their menu last year. I'm on Anthem next month. My plan is to eat in the CK on the first night to get the filet.  I've sourced the menus for the CK. There are some nights we'll eat in CK, others we'll do specialty.

     

    This will be my first cruise ever in which I do not step foot in the MDR. We will also be taking @Matt's idea of doing a "pre-dinner" with the little one either at the Jammer or Johnny Rockets and then we'll deposit her at Adventure Ocean while my wife, friend and I go off to enjoy our adult time.

     

     

  9. Cococay questions

    in Royal Caribbean Discussion

    Posted

    We’ve been to Labadee a bunch but never CocoCay. That is scheduled to change next month (weather permitting).

    Some questions.....

     

    1. Is there a dedicated suites beach? Any upgraded food options?

    2. Is there sufficient shade? Is it necessary to get a cabana or bungalow?

    3. I see there is a water slide. Any height requirements for this? My little one is about 40.5 inches (102 cm for those of us in the rest of the world who use metric...)

    4. On that subject, any recommendations for the little ones at this stop?

     

    Thank you all. I’m not thrilled with the intinerary for this trip except for CocoCay..this trip is more about experiencing Quauntum class ship for the first time. I’m hopeful we’ll be able to make it ashore.

  12. Sorrento's Pizza

    Is that the same brand as Little Caesar's Pizza here in the US? Their tag line is, "Pizza Pizza", and they're another truly awful chain line.

    Nah. Different chain. Similar slogan. 

     

    I'd take a 5 dollar hot and ready from little ceasars over Sorrentos.. That's how bad the RCI pizza is

    Sorrentos is not good.

     

    I'd gladly take any of the big chains over it- Dominos, Papa John's , Pizza Hut, or even up here in Canada Pizza Pizza.... that is saying something

     

    Michael Bayley has said they are working on the pizza... There had been no improvement on my last cruise.. we'll see what the Anthem has in store for me in a month.

  16. TSA REAL ID program is making passports more of a necessity

    For some who are on a really tight budget, and already keeping themselves to the cheapest cabin possible, the idea of spending another $80-100+ on a passport (card or book) could look exorbitant. Assuming they booked an inside cabin to really keep it cheap, that could be 20-25% of the per-person rate. If they already used up whatever vacation money they saved up to pay for the cruise, they may well just not have the funds. And if that cruise is the only one they'll take in the next 5+ years, the idea of spending the money on the passport may seem even more ludicrous.

     

    For us we figure in the cost of the passport as part of the cost of doing business.  I get some people are on a budget but in the grand scheme of things a passport that lasts 5 or 10 years for adults costing 100 bucks or so is relatively insignificant. Mine and the wife's passport are valid for 10 years.  That works out to 32 dollars a year between the two of us. The little one's is good for 5 years, or until it doesn't look like her- whichever comes first. Her passport costs significantly less.

    Again, there could come a time where a passport is required for any travel.  I'd hate to get to a country's border and be turned away just because I only had a birth certificate and a DL.

    I had a passport long before I needed to have a passport and I appreciate the freedom it affords me.

    Anyway- just my 5 cents ( In Canada we don't have pennies anymore..)

    I've never understood the reluctance that so many people have when it comes to getting a passport. What happens if all of a sudden when you pull up to a foreign port and they have changed their policies requiring a passport to enter? Unlikely to happen, but it could.

     

    Or if something bad happens and you need to fly back to return home early for one reason or another...

     

    I don't get why people don't spend the few bucks and get one.

    The "fine print" is worth noting on those packages, won't get the alcohol on board if sailing out of Galveston and isn't available on 15 ships:

     

    And the not so fine print....these packages are ridiculously expensive.

  20. Stateroom ready right away (suites)?

    Only the Star Class suites get immediate access to their cabins but with a Crown Loft you will be able to go into the Suites Lounge and wait.  It is a very nice place to wait if you can't go to your cabin !!

    Oasis - L1

    Allure - L1

    Harmony - GS

     All were ready at 1pm, no sooner.

    YMMV

    We had to wait until 1pm for our sky loft suite.....

  22. A perfect example of why you fly the day before...

    I know most people fly in the day before but I don't unless it is absolutely necessary. I have an amazing TA that makes sure when she books my flights that I leave early enough and there are at least 1 or 2 backup flights, if something happens to the original. It is too expensive to get a hotel room for one night, worry about how to get to the hotel and to the port, pay extra for getting there when I can get the cruise line's shuttle service for a reasonable price. 

    I know some day it will catch me and I won't make a cruise or my luggage won't make it, etc.

    This post gives me anxiety just reading it. 

    Weather cannot be defeated. There were other alternate flights for us.. But the weather in Fort Lauderdale was so horrific the airport was closed for hours... 

     

    I spent 10 bucks to get to the hotel. 100 dollars for the room. 10 bucks to get from the hotel to the pier. 

    Money well spent. If that 120 dollars was going to prohibit me from cruising I'd have to scrounge elsewhere. I'm not going to risk missing my ship just to save the cost of a hotel.
