Salty Law Dog Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Enjoying reading along! Learned so much from your prior SC posts that we have now done it 3 times with the 4th coming up in Jan on Allure, 2BR ATS. Two questions- can you share the entertainment schedule if it’s available on paper? And who are the genies on board besides Smitha? Who has the ATS? (Ok that’s 3 questions.) TIA!

Glad to have you along this time! I will post that schedule tomorrow morning. I will ask Smitha tomorrow who has what cabins. She has us, a family in the star loft, a family in the ATS on deck 9, and one other couple but I don’t know which cabin they are in. Dexter is also a genie onboard and the last guy is either Nicol or Rahul. I will ask about him tomorrow. CravingaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetmojo Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Enjoying the posts We loved this room without the loft...I'll explain why. Hubby sleepwalks So while we enjoyed the OP because it was one floor we were in the Royal Loft on Odyssey a couple months ago and I was terrified that hubby was going to fall down the stairs. I literally packed every single pillow in the room in a huge pile at the top of the stairwell each night.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Day 3 - Coco Cay Today is our first time back since Coco Cay turned into Perfect Day. We were last here when they were in the middle of renovations so it will be nice to see it completed now, especially seeing that the Oasis Lagoon pool was my inspiration for our backyard design last year. We have nothing booked for today. Since we don’t have our girls with us on this one, we did not really see the value in booking anything. We really only have one goal today and that is to try out the famous Crispy Chicken sandwich that @Matt goes on and on about lol. Smitha has informed us about what @Jaxhas already mentioned in her blog yesterday. Star has no priority on the trams here but Smitha has still offered to meet us and walk off with us as far as the trams. Will be meeting her shortly. twangster, Jax, KLA and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Smitha suggested we take the tram but we thought the walk would be good after all the food that we have eaten the last few days. Anyway, turns out after all around the island, the walk is not bad at all. Our main mission was checking out Oasis Lagoon to see it in person. What do you think? Did I get it right?

Ampurp85 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 We didn't take the tram; I seriously thought the trams were only for star class, the infirmed or tours only. It's actually not a bad walk, we did at least 2 laps around the island before settling down. The chicken sandwich is worth the visit.

Yesiamthere Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I’m guessing if they are still allowing smoking in the casino then masks are not strongly enforced. It would seem a bit painful to have to wear a mask while playing machine for hours. If masks will be required I’m going to get to keep lots of my money. Thanks for replying. You da bomb!

Lovetocruise2002 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Dinner brought us to Chops Grille tonight. While I am not a fan of their signature filet, I do love their lobster. They have made a few changes to the Chops menu. Sadly, as @calvink669 mentioned, the mushroom soup that @WAAAYTOOO and I love is gone. Also gone is the seafood tower loved by many. My once loved Lavender Tonic is now known as the Lavender Martini. Luckily, it appears to be just a name change. The taste remains unchanged and good. Menu Lavender Martini Butternut Squash Soup Because they got rid of the mushroom soup, I decided to give this a try. It was surprisingly good and flavourful. Not bad for a replacement. I still wish they kept the mushroom soup though. House Bread Caeser Salad Broiled Maine Lobster Normally there is an up charge for this but with SC, it is waived. Full of flavour and perfect texture!
