I'm sure a few at your M&G will ask plenty of questions re: 18% on fine dining, no reservations, etc. Curious as what the responses will be.

Enjoy your cruise. We sail in may on the breakaway.

Have fun, thanks for the update, we leave in two weeks!

Take care of the ship, it's my turn next Sunday.

:D

What was the time change with ROA and BTF? Would just like a heads up for what our times could possibly change to. TIA! Enjoy!

Dropping her lines now.

Bon Voyage everyone!

Have a great cruise. It may be sunny and 40* but with the wind chill it feels more like 27*

Safe Sailing!

On our way, Cirque tonite 7 n 9 pm. Our open seating BTF is now Mon n Fri, 7 n 9:30pm. Fair # of kids from Canada, fire drills done in French but no el Spanish, lol. Have a small but fash boat escort on starboard side as we near VZB, looks armed with 50 cal. on bow. Post pix after we get back n post update on Tues when we get to CP. Thanks all n hope info help ya plan better.

Thanks for the updates! I watched you guys sail away before on the webcam. Have a fabulous cruise!

Thanks for the updates! Have a wonderful cruise. :)

Have a wonderful time. Loved the Breakaway. Can you find out at the M&G if they are bringing back the drink menus with all the different "fu fu" drinks (ie dirty banana, etc.). Thanks!

Keep the updates and pics coming.

Have a great time!

Thanks for live perspective.

yes, please ask about the new 18% tip on specialty restaurants.

is it double dipping since the servers are part of the $12.95/day dsc (aka autotip)?

or are there now dedicated servers just for the specialty restaurants, and they no longer get DSC?

Have a great cruise!

Subscribing to your review. My trip is only in the "someday" stage.

Hi, all. Arriving PC now, docking at new terminal. Mostly indoors yesterday due to shoers, 8' sea to 12' sea evening but no motion in our fwd cabin. Internet $59 for 800 mb data, not by minutes. Shows are no reservations except comedy. Specialty dinner n drinks are 18% gratuity including Nick PJ show for kids. MDR food is better than 2014, slow service in OSheehans. Will post a few pics shortly.

Watching you on PC webcam. Pretty cool sliding in sideways like that. Looks like the ship is tilting to the right with all the people starboard on deck 8 and their balconies.

Have fun!

We are on deck 10 starboard 3rd balcony fwd above the extended ones below us. MDR menu for embarkation

Pix from M&G with about 60 of us, no chance or time for Q&A from anyone, introduced senior officers by JC Sanchez, CD n then they left. Passing on questions privately n see what happened n see what else I can find out. Specials at OSH on night 2, we ate at LeBistro.

On this sailing too!!! Sitting waiting to get off the ship in florida!!! No reservations for show but getting there 30 to 40 minutes is fine and burn the floor was great!!!

They have all the drinks!! Just ask! I have been asking for a fun drink at every bar and they have surprised me! Ocean view cabins on deck 5 very roomy and lots of storage!! Don't forget to book tender tickets for gsc early though I forgot and am in later one!!!

Let the pic speak for themlves. MDR food quality is good.

It's noon n folks still waiting to go onshore. We stay on to relax today. Lol. [ATTACH]344215[/ATTACH][ATTACH]344216[/ATTACH][ATTACH]344217[/ATTACH][ATTACH]344220[/ATTACH][ATTACH]344221[/ATTACH][ATTACH]344223[/ATTACH]

Guess where the mini bar contents emptied are stored. Hint: pillow case. Safe will fit ipad2 n hairdryer is 1500 watts on 220 volts. Plenty of open shelves, use eBag packing tubes for easier storage.

Thanks for your updates. They are wonderful to read! And a special thanks for the info on deck 5 oceanview. We are staying in that category, mid-ship and I was worried the room was going to be very tiny. Enjoy the rest of your cruise!
