I was on Indy earlier this month. Grease is the big show and is certainly worth seeing. Other shows included: Once Upon a Time & Invitation to Dance - both Royal Caribbean performers. The "headline" acts were a comedian, rock band, hypnotist and a female singer

Can I ask how many times it was on(7day sailing) Is it on during sea days or just evenings! Is it like half seven show

If just booked a cruise with my Hubble and little boy who will be 8 months when we sail in October from Southampton! Just wondering if anyone can give advice or tips! How friendly is cruising with infant(we ve cruises 3 times b4 with royal c) are there any services really for infants! I know there is a nursery which u have to pay for which is a disgrace as I payed the same for my child as any child and all other children activity clubs are included! Anyway are there changing facilities available in public areas.. did peeps find it breastfeeding friendly, how do u manage with food !! Thanks in advance

Any chance you have any photos of the menus that you can share with us? Or any other information about the sailing you would like to share. Doing a cruise out of Southampton a year from now on this ship

 

Thank you

Sorry no pictures It wasn't til I came home and looked at the ones clarea attached that I notice how different they were. I just thought that they had changed one of the classics to pie of day and few other minor changes . manily Id say expect more roast dinners and indian food. There was still Italian menu. If there is a certain item your interested in I could probably remember if its on menus or not.

Well we sailed to Norway in June and found the average cruiser to be older than on pervious cruises and the entertainment was aimed accordingly lots of 50,60, music ball room dancers etc. though we still found plenty to do at night ( im 32 hubbie 30). Was a very good magician who was really a comedian also.

Not sure what else to say. Hubbie only grumble was that tv didn't work for first few days because of position at see and towards end of cruise.

First cruise were we had a time change while at sea , other cruise we stuck with local time at port of embarkation

Any specific questions ask away

Hi Claire

Do you have any details about the drinks packages on Navigator?

We are on the ship later in the year. Thank-you and hole you enjoyed your cruise

Hey

I don't know much about them . We had select as it come as part of our all inclusive deal.

house wine wide range of beer, fruit punch and frozen cocktails which were just frozen fruit juice apart from the mojitos and pinacolda. Got a lovely virgin mojito ( not frozen, the frozen one wasn't good), Didn't include premium coffees or bottled water.

One thing to note is different bars stock different drinks

Also a kettle in room with tea bags ( no instant coffee)

Hi Claire,

Do you know if they had the cheeseboard on the MDR menu still? Was on Harmony recently and was gutted it wasn't on that menu!

 

And one other question.. did you use the voom internet? Was going to pre-purchase it but reading other reports, seems like it was rubbish, just wondering if it improved

 

Thanks Lynn

yes was still on the menu every night and also the room service menu. The menus were generally more british but also had indian curry of some form every night too

Sorry I didn't get voom and wasn't talking to anyone who had purchased it

hello

Just back of the navigator sailing from southampthon. The menus were loosely based on those attached but there were quite different in many ways. The classics which are served everyday didn't include the sliders but a different pot pie everyday. There was no tapas or spinach dip ( although on room service menu) , no roman salads or garden salads, no duck or veal. Instead we had Singapore noodle and lots of roast chicken and beef dishes fish and chips . Trifle for dessert.

Lots of other dishes on menu still there, garlic prawns , fruit soup, chicken masala, lasagne, horseradish salmon

Thanks clarea I know may are critical of the main dining room but I love the food and wouldn't pay extra for speciality when already paid to eat there

Anyone have any main dining room menus
