twangster Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Posted March 4, 2019 Johnny Rocket's Express Update Beverage packages not accepted for milkshakes with or without a meal. Ultimate Dining Package - This question was met with uncertainty. They huddled and discussed it then proclaimed UDP does work here. I wasn't left with a lot of confidence in that answer. I don't have the UDP so can't test it. Quote
twangster Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Posted March 4, 2019 Playmakers Update I saw the manager/officer that I saw on Symphony again. He is the one that tends to work on ships when Playmaker's launches on them. The Ultimate Dining Package does not work here on Navigator at Playmakers but he acknowledged that on some ships the UDP does work at Playmakers. It's up to the ship, not a fleet standard.

Two in the Windjammer, one port side and one on starboard in the middle of the Windjammer near the windows plus two in the Promenade near Cafe Promenade. thanks for that. Someone said at some point in the past couple of weeks that NOTS wasn't going to have them.. I was worried...taking 2 16yo boys...they are excited about those. Quote

Haven't even told our kids about him (as they weren't on Independence with us) and hoping we'll bump into him (or his clone..lol) in an elevator on Symphony next week.

Zambia-Zaire Posted March 5, 2019 Report Posted March 5, 2019 @twangsterthose dusk 2 nightfall shots of the pool area and Lime & Coconut remind me so much of the roof top atmosphere at the Rio or Drai's Beach Club in Vegas.
