Cool Cruiser (2/15)

Their system is antiquated. As much as they have developed new state-of-the-art cruise ships, their booking technology is horrible.

I love Adventure! I sailed her almost a year ago and I have another cruise planned for July. Her crew was amazing! I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, but she has quite a few. I think Royal does a good job of updating their older ships.

I walked in and got a cookie one afternoon. There were a couple of tables of people in there. I didn't got back during busy times so I'm not sure how crazy it was. I was sailing Dec. 31-Jan. 4. I am Diamond+ sailing with Diamond (daughter) and we were not given anything in our room that said access would be limited or anything.

Choose your Own or Let Royal pick stateroom?
MellowMel replied to JanNSteH's topic in Royal Caribbean International
If you truly do not care where your cabin is on the ship, let Royal pick it. If it matters what deck, view, elevator proximity what’s above or below your deck, or any other thing, select it yourself. I select my cabin 99% of the time. The few times I have let Royal pick were fine but I’m not picky and don’t spend a lot of time in my cabin. I see a lot of posts from people who take the guaranteed cabin rate then complain when they get their assignment. So if you think you would be disappointed with any particular area of the ship, don’t book the guaranteed stateroom. -
I love the frozen mojitos! They are best by the pool because they are light and refreshing!

Adventure of the Seas - info gathering
MellowMel replied to bgoff60's topic in Royal Caribbean International
@teddybear231 and @HappyTexan44I did it in January of this year. It may have been called a Cocktail Seminar. They offered two during the trip on both sea days. It was so fun. I was on Allure in March and they did not offer it. -
Minors losing their Diamond status…
MellowMel replied to rrraydon's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That stinks for them! My kids status is what mine was at the time they turned 18. My daughter kept Diamond status but she has since had enough of her own points to be Diamond on her own. I made it to Diamond + when my son turned 18. He is Diamond on his own but he does get the + perks which makes his older sister mad since she’s 22 and he’s 19 and he gets one more drink than she does and he’s not of legal age. It makes him very happy. -
Voyager of the seas question
MellowMel replied to wondermom's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Limited menu due to brands but you can still start using your package. -
I have done lunch at Chops on boarding day on Adventure twice and I love starting out my cruise this way! It wasn't an option on Allure and I don't see it as an option for my next couple of cruises on Radiance or Voyager. But I'm going to keep checking back.

Current entertainment/show details on Allure
MellowMel replied to chukli's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Last week, we had Darrell J. Williams as a headliner. He's a Grammy award winner and he's got a phenomenal voice. Also we had a magician named Hector who was great. Lester Bibbs was one of the comedians. I've seen him on Allure before and he's really funny. I know they normally have them booked for a few weeks so this could change. Mamma Mia, ice show and Oceanaria all will stay the same. They did the Love and Marriage game one afternoon. They also did Quest one night. All the typical games like Battle of the Sexes and Finish the Lyric were offered. I was on last week. -
Anyone enjoying the new menu selections?

Just off Allure and I thought the food in the MDR was really good. I enjoyed everything I had as did my family and friends. We were in MDR 4 times because 3 nights we had specialty dining package. We missed Mexican Night, Italian Night and the Welcome Aboard night. Food is so subjective but we were happy. Table favorites were: French Night Escargots Baked French Onion Soup Chicken Cordon Bleu Classic Beef Bourguignon Creme Brulee Not fond of Toasted Almond Profiteroles Caribbean Night Coconut Shrimp Classic Caesar Salad Garlic Herb Tiger Shrimp New York Strip Steak Royal Chocolate Cake Pineapple Sunshine Cake (cake part kind of dry but pineapple and icing good) Royal Night Baked French Onion Soup Chilled Shrimp Cocktail Lemon Butter Baked Cod Lobster New York Strip Baked Alaska Warm Chocolate Cake Red Velvet Cake Bon Voyage Night Mediterannean Tapas Medley Classic Caesar Salad Braised Lamb Pecan Crusted Salmon Spaghetti Bolognese Dark Chocolate Brownie Warm Apple Cobbler -
Adventure of the Seas drinks menu
MellowMel replied to Cruisefanatic71's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I can confirm the drinks are up-to-date on the app. If you like cool, refreshing drinks, Boleros makes an awesome Mojito Frappe!
