Is there a way to find out what the entertainment on board a specific sailing will be? There used to be an email address that I could write to and find out. Also, are reservations required for the headliner, ice shows…etc? Is there a link to current cruise compasses anywhere? Thank you in advance?

Does anyone have the dining room dinner menus and/or compasses for the 8 night southern Caribbean cruise of explorer of the seas? Thank you in advance if you do!

Piano guy was billy pando. Didn't notice much trivia throughout the week aside from 5pm trivia. Not sure where that was located though

A true upgrade. I think it was luck of the draw. We are diamond members. 120 cruise points prior to this trip. Spoke with a couple who have 165 cruise Points and they were in a balcony room and did not get upgrade. Must be random. As for the solarium, no pool. Hot tubs just outside the entrance. Life guards are present at all of the pools

We had a balcony cabin booked but when arrived we had been upgraded to a junior suite. Pretty exciting actually. First time to upgraded for us. We did use royal iq. Easy to use and convenient. I thought the shows were the must do experiences. Columbus, Grease, were great shows.

A small amount of rain on morning of final sea day but turned sunny by mid afternoon. Rest of the week was beautiful

Just returned today from Harmony of the Seas. Thought I'd share a few of my thoughts. Overall, cruise was fantastic. Ate at Chops, Jaimes Italian, wonderland, Izumi hibachi. Loved all but Wonderland, but only because not an adventurous eater. Decided to go for the atmosphere, which did not disappoint. Was disappointed with food in MDR. Swam with sea lions at Atlantis in Nassau and again in St Thomas. Just shopped in St Kitts. Saw all of the shows, which were amazing. Spent many evenings at schooner bar listening to piano music. The piano guy there was fantastic.

Hotel arts Barcelona is the most amazing hotel I've ever stayed at. Expensive but fantastic

Thank you so much for posting these!

Would love to know the order of the main dining room menus if at all possible. Thank you.

Could you please let me know which nights are formal night and maybe the order of the menus in the Main dining room. Trying to plan my specialty restaurants. Thank you in advance!

Hi Everyone,

so sorry I haven't posted. The Wifi on Radiance was down for the entire cruise and my time in port and land kept me very busy. Anyway, I've gone ahead and posted cruise compasses, cruisetour Itinerary and a LOTS and LOTS of photos on flickr. I'll label the photos this weekend. But if you have any questions please let me know.

 

 

Thanks for following :D

Thank you so much for the compasses and the pictures! Love the pics!

Anyone on board the Radiance in Alaska this week? Anyone going next week? I've got 6 weeks and cannot wait. I'd be interested to see the menus and cruise compasses if anyone is going before I do on June 26 and has the time to post them. Safe travels to all.

When the season starts in a few weeks, is there anyone who might be able to post compasses and menu order in the main dining room? Would love to plan specialty restaurants in advance. Thank you so much.

Going to be on the Radiance in June. Want to plan specialty restaurants. Does anyone know where I can find the menu order for northbound Alaskan itinerary. Thank you in advance!

What night was lobster night and chocolate breakfast?

The real important stuff?

Lobster was the fourth night. Not sure about chocolate breakfast though

Thanks Dons44, can you tell me where is the best beach to hangout in the Keys? In Grand Cayman - we want to do the Stingray excursion.

Not sure about beach in key west. I've always just walked Duvall street if on a cruise or if I've stayed there I've either gone to hotel pool or hotel beach. Sorry I don't have a better answer

Does the ship dock close to Duvall Street? Is it walkable?

We docked at end of Duvall street. Not sure they always do. I think there are ytimes it docks at navy pier. Either way, not far to get to Duvall street.

My husband and I just got off this same cruise. On the whole we had a great time. We did wait on the first day at the bar on deck 4 but I'm guessing it was because everyone was just getting on the ship and waiting to get into their cabins. I was a little disappointed with a few of the waiters in the MDR during the one time we had lunch there, but not that bad. What did surprise me was the small things they did away with. No shampoo, conditioner, lotion, chocolates on the pillow, towel animals, etc. Having forgotten my shampoo and lotion (first time), I asked the cabin steward and he informed us they don't supply it anymore. This was also confirmed by one of the waitresses in Schooners. While talking with other passengers they said they had it in their cabins! I'm thinking it must have been a hit or miss thing or it could have had something to do with our steward. He never seemed to be around and was quite stern. On passing a cabin he was cleaning we saw him checking out the clothes hanging in that cabins closet, don't know what that was all about. On the whole it was a great trip and the ship was beautiful.

I had no problem with getting served first day on deck 4. They had 3 bartenders working and no one seemed to have to wait long. I did not have shampoo etc in my room either but I had read that rccl had done away with it. Not a huge loss for me personally. My cabin steward was great. Saw her 3-4 times a day, she always greeted us warmly by name and was very accommodating.

We do not do an excursion in key west as we've been many times. We like to walk up Duvall street, eat at margaritaville, shop, then settle in at Irish Kevin's bar for some drinks and music. In grand cayman, we did a dolphin swim and 7 mile beach excursion. The dolphin swim was fantastic, however the beach we were taken to was not that great. We've been to 7 mile beach before and loved it, but this time wasn't as good..

Just off the Vision on Thursday. To put upcoming cruisers at ease, I did not experience any if the problems I had read about on this board. Never saw anyone wait long at any bar. Had pool waiters on sea days ask me multiple times if I wanted drinks. To be fair, food in the MDR was average. Ate at Chops and Giovanni's and had great service and great food at both. Crew on board were friendly each and every time I had an encounter with them. My stateroom and stateroom attendant were perfect each day. In closing, a cruise is what you make of it. If you nitpick every detail, you're not going to have a good experience. If you go in to it with an open mind and recognize you're not the only person on board you'll be able to handle any hiccups that could occur.

Please help. Anyone have menu order and/or compasses for the Vision of the Seas 5 night itinerary? Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know the order of the menus on the Vision 5 night sailing? Also does anyone have recent cruise compass from Vision 5 night sailing? Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know the order of the menus in the MDR for the 5 night sailing of the Vision of the Seas? Looking to book Chops. Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in what order the MDR menus are so I can plan a Chops night if you could please. Thank you!
