Icon - Ocean View Balcony Guarantee
cruisegirl1 replied to fwman's topic in Royal Caribbean International
What Biker19 said. If you will be unhappy with ANY cabin in the guarantee category, a guarantee is not a good choice. You may be able to specify (and pay) for an ocean view balcony guarantee vs a neighborhood balcony guarantee when you book your cruise. M -
What Sunshine3601 said, plus you may ask the cabin attendant for extras. M

Help me "flesh out" Check in "Plan B"

You win the post of the day!!!!!! M -
I read several reviews when Icon launched and wonder how many who said the meal was worth the nearly $500 ($400 plus gratuity) for 2 had it gifted rather than actually paid for it? I'm sure it is good and who wouldn't give a gifted $500 meal a good review. M

Coastal Kitchen reservations?
cruisegirl1 replied to Treacher1's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Sometimes they only make them one day at a time. That was our recent experience on Allure, but we were able to secure a reservation for each night we wanted. We sometimes prefer a few dining rooms or specialty menus to CK. Enjoy your cruise. M -
Wonder of the seas - show replacement

I stand corrected - the technology of Effectors 2 is terrific. Every time I watch it, I sit in a different area to enjoy the technology. Close up was the least enjoyable. M -
Revamp of C&A tiers? Cruises getting expensive!
cruisegirl1 replied to nolegirl01's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Don't forget that many Pinnacles have way more than 700 points. I have no idea what the average is, but on many cruises the top 3 cruisers all have in the high 2000 points. Except for Internet and a free Pinnacle cruise ( and one for every 350 points) there is little difference in upper tier D+ and Pinnacle. These two groups share the same amenity list have the same "cheers" meal, BOGO, wash and fold and more. So by your math, the P drink benefit is worth even less. Frankly the drink benefit is wasted in me. Don't get me wrong, I like a drink or two, but 6 is overkill for me. M -
We've had a variety of cruises recently and there is no reasoning regarding the hairdryer type. We had a recent Enchantment ( old ship) B2B and moved a few cabins away ( same cabin class) and had the newer dryer in one and the "hold button" type in another. M

We find Wonder to have the weakest entertainment of the Oasis class ships. M -
Matzo will be available, but to be on the safe side, you can always bring a box with. If you are observing Passover, you might consider some Passover packaged cookies/candies as I don't recall the availability of kosher for Passover baked deserts. There has been a "Passover" cooked meal with Matzo Ball soup, Brisket, carrots, but I don't know if the food was Kosher for Passover or even Kosher. I know the Channukah meal offered on many ships is not kosher. There are Kosher cruises during the year with an extensive array of freshly prepared kosher foods. A designated venue is closed to the public and certified Kosher with properly prepared foods. There is even a pizza oven at Sorrento's certified Kosher . We sailed in January and there was a large group requiring kosher meals. Solarium Cafe was designated for the group and closed to the public during the cruise. There was a hefty food charge for the meals, I want to say an additional $70/day/ per person. Other kosher meals ordered for general cruising will be a frozen and heated for passengers. M

Explorer Lunch in the Main Dining Room
cruisegirl1 replied to Carol28's topic in Royal Caribbean International
There are generally three or so MDR lunch menus You can pull up any ship on the app and take a look at MDR lunch menus to get an idea. MDR lunch is open on sea days. M
