I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the Vision is in NOLA until March 2019. We sail on her out of NOLA on the 16th of FEB. so she will still be there Feb 16th - 23rd 2019.

 

This will be our first time on this small of a RCCL ship, hoping it will have enough to keep us entertained. We choose it because of the price and because it is only a 4 hour drive from home. Looking forward to it, we love NOLA.

Gina- we just got off Rhapsody out of Tampa and we adored the size! I’m excited Vison is sailing out of NOLA-I hope they keep her there longer!

I believe we live in approximately the same area. We are also in NW FL an hour from the gulf! :)

I’m sorry about your extra charges. Such an annoying glitch.

Does your screen name have to do with your home town high school? If so and you are from FL- we are from the same town!:)

Our server served our pasta (we shared the gnocchi one evening) with our filets...so good.

The next visit we had our pasta (crab ravioli-omg btw!!) before our entrees!

Love Giovanni’s!

I can’t wait for your review!

Sorry but I'm not taking the time to tell every individual who provides me with service that they were an 8 or 9 and they need to step up their game to be 10.

 

If everyone was completely honest on these Royal would soon change how they viewed the results as they couldn't very well get rid of or reduce the pay of nearly every single worker.

 

No matter how well intentioned you think you are you are doing everyone a disservice by giving false 10's.

This is how I feel. When the servers in Chops is bending over backwards for 3 nights to make our dining experience amazing (10) and the waiter in the MDR shoves a menu in my hand, interrupts me 3 times as I’m speaking, telling me what I want for dessert. And when I finally get it out, he doesn’t order me dessert, and I have to reorder dessert, rushes us through supper, never asks if we’d like a drink, or how our meal is. (6) And the food is good, not great (8)

I’m not giving the MDR a 10. It simply doesn’t help Royal correct the issues, and give better service.

I was extremely pleased with our recent cruise, however there were great and some mediocre service.

The crew is not suppose to direct your post cruise review. That is wrong. As I understand they are not allowed to mention it to you at all.

I’m very honest. I’m not a complainer, yet I do believe they do not know if you do not tell them.

If your waiter wasn’t great- why let him slide with a 10?

Room service is 7.95 + 18%

Who gets the 18%? The person delivering the food? Or does it go into the tip pool?

I’m reading this thread and laughing because I never noticed my card was different than anyone else’s... is this really a thing? Do people stalk others cards? I mean who looks? I had a lanyard, which I use because I do not carry a purse...oh the horror!

Rhapsody of the Seas 4/15 - “canine of the seas “ spotting on deck 8. Small Yorker type dog. Crew members were in the door way oooohing and ahhhing over the dog. Service dog? Who knows. I haven’t seen the dog out of the cabin...it doesn’t bother me, just mentioning the sighting as there this seems to be a trend.

We use Black Har Cozumel (they have a FB page)

You pay them a very nominal amount and they bring no you anywhere you want to go! Very nice people, clean, cool transportation.

I’m boarding Rhapsody on Sunday. I wonder if I can bring my dressage horse as a “comfort animal”...can you imagine?

Best review I have ever read! Thank you! I haven’t had any interest in Oasis class ships—but I am off to book Harmony—based on this review!

Are these available on most cruises?

Park Cafe in the Solarium, no extra charge.

Thanks Bob! I knew you’d know. Any knowledge of Chops being open for lunch that day?

We are driving in and are planning on skipping supper for a lovely early to bed evening!

Sailing out of Tampa on ROS in a few weeks.

What is open for an embarkation lunch - other than WJ. Any of the specialty restaurants?

Thank you for any info.

Take it! Those are nice cabins and you got it half price! Enjoy

This is a great review. Oasis is on our radar and you are helping me to make a decision!

Not sure if the card is available on all ships. I've never heard of it being available on day 1. All the reports I've seen indicate the card shows up in the last half of the cruise. Purchase at a bar.

Thank you Bob!:)

Is this available on all ships? (We are on Rhapsody 4/18)

Is it available day one? Or only on day three?

Can you purchase from the bartender or guest services?

Thank you (Especially to you Bob because I know you’ll answer first!)

Vision and Radiance

Top two.

We are booked for April, and the process so far has been pleasant! Great informative emails.

I do believe they reserve the areas as the reservations come in, as I was told the general area where we would be.

I’m looking forward to this day at the beach.

We bought a horse on a cruise in 1996. (Sovereign it's) It's name was Capital Gains...and it went everywhere with us! I spent half my honeymoon promoting this horse! We came in 3rd...it was a blast! Who needs a flow rider when you have a wooden horse on a stick decorated with cheap decorations!

Total blast!!

Maybe you could have it arranged for you.

Seems like everyone's travel agent did a great job except for mine. Maybe they are going out of business?

I wonder if we are using the same company as my communication with them(and I say them because they are large and well known) has been less than stellar lately!

Great review! It sounds as though You had every detail taken care of! Sorry about the cabana on Labadee.
