She actually wanted to make a normal chipwich with vanilla ice cream & milk chocolate chips but they only had chocolate ice cream so she reversed it. BTW, I’ve seen complaints about WJ not having real scooped ice cream on some ships anymore but Wonder has had it everyday for lunch and dinner.

Hopefully you didn’t get reprimanded for being too loud on the bridge… which may or may not have happened to our group, lol. Hmm, is this why they stopped serving champagne on the bridge tour?

OCSC Mike Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 Just saw Vinay for like the 5th time in 6 days. ELF is the busiest I’ve seen so far (1:00 on a sea day so makes sense) but it’s still really not that bad. It’s pretty large & open on Wonder. Nice breeze up on deck 16 too.

I've only ever seen dessert there at Wonder and Symphony's version. i.e. not on Oasis, Navigator, Odyssey and I'm sure other ships I've been on have an ELF but don't remember offhand.

Now I’ll have to go back, lol. I kept meaning to try them & had the caramel flan but not the chocolate. I’ve been deprived. The only other ELF I’ve tried is on Allure and that’s not a real one; they just stuck the ELF food into Mini Bites or whatever that venue was so it’s not a great fit & has very long lines.

GatorCruiser Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 After sunning and hanging on the suite sun deck and hot tub, We decided to hang with the poors in gen-pop and hit up the jammer for lunch. They had some Indian and Asian which was delish. Also @OCSC Mike I had some of the paella too. I guess I’m low maintenance cause I like the jammer as a general rule. I’ve never really been disappointed with the food. As had already been mentioned we are in the last lap of this amazing cruise. Royal really does a good job. I know I sound like a company shill, but we’ve never had even a mediocre cruise. OCSC Mike, Lovetocruise2002, Sweety and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only eat Indian on cruises so I’m no expert but that’s my fav. I had it the other night & some today with the paella. Probably shouldn’t have had 4 tacos after that, lol. 25 minutes ago, GatorCruiser said: we’ve never had even a mediocre cruise. That’s how we feel. Some are exceptional but all enjoyable. I have some bad food items of course, but there are 50 other things to move on to. I don’t like every show but that’s 45 mins of your day. Way too much good to outweigh the bad, IMO.

GatorCruiser Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Yessir @OCSC Mike there was butter chicken and some delish lentil dish. I’m still in a food coma from pounding all of it. Also they had that delicious picked something spread that’s spicy. You and I are just low maintenance when it comes to cruising. I like everything just about all the time. The crew really bust their tails for the pax and are always so friendly. I’m a Royal homer for sure.

OCSC Mike Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 Overrated lobster coming up in a bit. Not throwing shade, maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. If not, no biggie. Wife’s favorite dessert on Allure in October was the molten chocolate cake so we’re looking forward to that. The chocolate hazelnut cake from Italian night was very good & pretty similar so I’m more optimistic about that. Nothing exciting planned for after dinner. We’ll take a few more professional pics & find something to do, something to eat, something to use vouchers on, etc. We have reservations for Effectors II but don’t think we’ll bother seeing it for a 2nd time.

asquared17 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 i agree, @GatorCruiser; the jammer is not as bad as its reputation sometimes implies. HOWEVER. when i see the insane lines snaking through the deck OR the deer in headlights + multiple near-collisions… i want to vehemently abort mission.

GatorCruiser Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Dinner was at Giovanni’s. Based on blog recs, I got the filet. This will be a controversial take but I didn’t like it. Even more controversial is this take … I liked the one at Hooked the best. Way better seasoning of any of the places onboard.

The kids section had a pile of chocolate chip cookies covered in what looked like milk/dark chocolate & that one lonely white one. I flipped over all the upside-down cookies searching for more white ones, lol, no luck. Anyway, I liked it. But who knows if anyone will ever find one again? I popped back in during dinner hours & same deal, all chocolate, so I replenished my stash of ranger cookies & got some baklava from Mediterranean night for later.

OCSC Mike Posted March 23 Author Report Share Posted March 23 MDR Royal Night Vidalia onion tart - Presentation looked different than I’ve seen but it was pretty good. Lobster - It was fine but soooo small I have no idea who would pay $16.99 for another. I ate mine & my wife’s. Chocolate molten cake - just as good as Allure, my wife’s fav dessert by far & probably mine too. Very rich.

OCSC Mike Posted March 23 Author Report Share Posted March 23 Waiting for wife to finish her last morning walk. Today will be a repeat of yesterday. Will have actual breakfast after she showers then camp out in our same corner of the pool deck as yesterday & leave for a couple trivias & food runs throughout the day. Going to see the adult comedy main theater show tonight since we enjoyed one of the comics & they usually change up their sets a bit. We did wind up seeing Effectors II for the 2nd time last night btw. For some reason I didn’t really like it this time. Costumes & special effects are still cool but it felt a lot slower this time until the end scene for whatever reason. Don’t mean to be negative, everyone should see it once, especially if they have kids.

OCSC Mike Posted March 23 Author Report Share Posted March 23 Small change of plans… apparently it’s going to be rainy today & my wife saw some lightning so we’ll camp out in the Solarium. Should be a bit cooler today at least. I’ll just need to take a more indoor route to ELF if it’s really raining later.

OCSC Mike Posted March 23 Author Report Share Posted March 23 Appreciating the enclosed Solarium today. It’s completely overcast with thunder rumbling, some lightning, & periods of rain. Ship isn’t rocking though & it’s nice & cool in here now so we’re content. Not sure what families with tiny humans will be doing if the main pool deck is out.

OCSC Mike Posted March 23 Author Report Share Posted March 23 Lost internet for a little while. Storm seems to be letting up but now the Solarium has become a mild flood zone, lol. Not sure where the water is coming from but there’s almost inch-deep water flowing in front of our loungers by the windows. Saw at least one flip flop float by.
