Has anyone ever ordered the drink they serve in a real pineapple?

Do they still do that?

I've always wanted to try one but I always forget haha

Photos??!

We've booked an Owner's Suite for next January. I'm excited for the separate tub and shower plus that huge balcony. :)

???? Having been married 15 years, I can assure you it is a requirement for a happy marriage. The dual sinks are actually one of our favorite perks of a GS.

I agree. I love the space in the bathroom of the GS or OS.

I'll add to this by saying that I wrote to RC and asked if the same (or similar) cocktails would be available, and whether or not prices are (or will be) relisted on the new menus... the response was very general and answered neither question. They simply said they had raised the gratuities from 15% to 18%, totally skipped the fact that they've raised the alcohol prices by what seems to be around 40% across the board, and sent me a .pdf of all alcohol that is available on the ship (which was simply a list of alcohol - not "drinks").

 

So, their response was of absolutely no help whatsoever. :(

Ugh. I would write them back and ask again.

Can you post that brand matrix for us please? Thank you.

Thank god I'm no cruising out of America !!

plenty of elephants in the rooms there !!

Wow.

I don't know how to make my pic bigger. Sorry folks.

We did this on Allure. It wasso much fun!

I hope they do it on the Oasis when we sail in January

For those who don't have a drink package I for one would like to know the price before I order. Feel embarrassed to ask at that time. Surely I'm not the only one who would like to know. I don't like surprises!

While I always get a drink package, I can definitely understand this.

I can see the inconvenience of not having a price listed for sure.

Thank you!

This is Gambee's list from 2014:

That is AWESOME! Thank you. I'm half way there.

I had some yummy ones and of course, couldn't remeber the names! This will really help.

Now i hope I can find the Champagne Bar one. That was the only other one that I picked som major favs!

Don't be too fooled by the menus. They will still make all the old favorites, you just have to ask for them. At least that was the case on the Brilliance this past week.

Yes! And in my stuoidity, I can't find the photos anymore from Allure. Ugh. And I'm too old to remember he names. Hahaha

Does anyone happen to have photos of the drink menus, the basic one and hopefully the Champagne Bar ones on Allure or Oasis prior to dry dock??

Thanks so much

Does someone has pics of the drink menus on allure or oasis prior to dry dock?

Particularly the main one and the champagne bar one??

Thanks so much!

Deck 8 for sure!

So nice not to have to do stairs or elevators to get a cocktail or a bite to eat.

If there was an owners suite on deck 8, I would book it! Ha

We got moved into the early dining which at this point is still traditional dining but the hope is, from what I've gathered from speaking to Royal and my TA, is that traditional dining will become Classic 1 and Classic 2 based on early or late.

And that you will go to different venues every night with the same wait staff and at the same time. Your formal nights will be the nights you rotate into The Grand Dining Room. And of course there is always the specialty dining venues or suite only dining room of you are in that category of room.

i hope it ends up like that.

That will be awesome.

How does the waiter know what wine you are going to order when you don't know what you are going to eat until you read the menu??:confused:

 

Can the waiter tell me next week's lotto numbers too??!

I drink a martini before dinner (sometimes more than one. Haha). My husband drinks gin and tonic and my neighbor also drinks a martini.

Each night, all three of us had our pre-dinner cocktail waiting for us when we walked in. It was sensational service from start to finish even if some of the meals fell short of expectation.

Some of the dishes were absolutely wonderful though.

Think if you were on holiday in Vegas instead of living there. You go to a different restaurant every night, possibly at different times because you're going to a show or whatever.

 

That's pretty much it, except you can book all your restaurants in advance if you wish......

Thank you for that explanation.

It seems very similar to what I've heard Disney does.

I like the idea of rotating around different restaurants but I can see it meaning that my cruise planner needs to involve a well executed shcedule to make sure we have dinner when we want to.

I do, however, think I will miss the experience of having the same waitstaff every night. On the Allure in February, it was a spectacular experience in the MDR because our waitstaff knew us and knew what we wanted and didn't. We had a drink waiting there for us every night when we walked in.

Great review! Very informative.

I was on Allure in Feb and just booked Oasis for next Jan!

I migraine some changes prior to my sail date with regard to dining but we are game for whatever. :)

PS- I have two golden beasts at home! Love your profile pic!!

Dining seems to be really up in the air for now.

They are going to try and roll out a new form of it on the Anthem as I understand it. More like rotational dining.

I've still not come to understand what DD really is.

Just booked Oasis for next Jan. Dining is completely up in the air at this point. Haha

Following. I'm also curious.

I love to go in there, tell them that I have an event that I need an outfit for and they put the whole thing together for me! It always looks stylish, classy and very flattering.

Yes!! That's the best! So easy and always looks great.

Mine came from Chico's! They are very dressy and very stylish!

Great minds.. Haha

I love Chicos. I love their dressier stuff. It's just so easy and elegant.

I pair the shorts with dressy blouses and jewels and usually a beaded sandals or my favorite pair of Kate Spade espadrille heeled sandals. :)

I know the style you are talking about, and they are fine. I have some dress "City Shorts", that are knee length, very dressy and I wear them with a nice blouse and very dressy sandals. I also saw tons of ladies in capris. Dressier ones, not the athletic type ones.

Exactly the style I am speaking to!!

I am short and capris never hit me in the correct place plus I just don't feel sexy in them. I love my Chicos knee length dressy Bermudas and didn't think those with a very nice blouse and sandals was that bad of a choice for non-formal nights.

I look much better in those and feel better in them than I do most of my skirts which are actually shorter. Ha

Thanks for your input.

I'll pack a couple sundress type things and if there is an issue, I can just go change. :)
