  1. We are booked in an Aqua Class for our trip on Beyond in August. We have been cruising with Royal for a while now, and have been buying the Ultimate Dining Package because the MDR's just seem to be going downhill. Since we do have access to Blu, as well as the 4 MDR's on board, we want to do one of the specialty restaurants. My wife is dying to go to a Michelin Star restaurant (I will be at one in Mendoza next week!! šŸ™‚ ) So, if I were to book Le Voyage, there's three different options - A la carte dinner, a Tasting Menu and also the Chef's Table by Daniel Baloud. My wife doesn't eat SO much, but I don't want to be stuck with just one option for an Entree. Does anyone have any suggestions on which level to book??? Price is about $20 difference per option.
  2. We had a Prime Concierge Infinite Veranda booked on Beyond. We were convinced by a few friends that it was worth it to spend a couple hundred more for an Aqua Class cabin, and we jumped on it. The Canapes and the Bubbles mean nothing to us, since we have the drink package, and will now have an opportunity to dine in Blu, as well as access to the Thermal Suite, which I'm sure the wife would use, and I'll probably use once...
  3. Crazy to think that Tito's is on the Premium list...However, Wheatley is just as good of quality on the Classic package
  4. Not for nothing, but a Somm is not there to sell bottles of Moscato. He or she must've just been so annoyed that they said no, and moved on. They are there to sell and upsell expensive bottles. This is a question for your table server.
  5. So our upcoming cruise in August, the MTD is sold out and the only option is an 8:30PM seating. I've read conflicting posts of showing up and getting a pager for the MDR? Is that true, or am I stuck with an 8:30 dining option? I'd hate to eat late and miss the shows...I know I'm going to try to do some of the specialty restaurants but I do want to try all the options in the MDR's on the ship as well...
  6. Yeah, I get it. It's not the "traditional" balcony, but I don't see this ship has "traditional" balcony rooms....weird but I'll deal with it. I was about to book on 11, but then I read somewhere that the upper decks block the sun from coming in so went up to 12
  7. Been loyal to Royal for the last bunch of years, have had some amazing trips on ships big and small. However, we were sick of the same itinerary of Port Canaveral, Coco Cay (which I LOVE) and Nassau (Which I HATE!) We booked Beyond to the ABC Islands, places we've never been. Just curious about the main differences between RCL and Celebrity - we booked a Prime Concierge Infinite Veranda on Deck 12. Are the MDR's good? We've seen the MDR's on RCL too commercial, menu changes, and skimping on a lot. Main question is - worth it to upgrade to a dining package? Things I DEFINITELY need to try? I heard Daniel Baloud's restaurant is not to be missed! Dress code - I'm assuming a little more strict on Celebrity vs RCL? I usually wear a pair of nice shorts and a collared shirt - I assume that's a No-Go, but are jackets required for Men? I'm a bit of a wine and liquor snob (work in the industry) - booked the "all inclusive" wifi and drink package - assuming its worth it to upgrade both? Lastly, I am Emerald in RCL - and also have the RCL Visa - do I get any perks or benefit with these? Thanks so much for your input and I am looking forward to our new adventure on a new line (for us)
  8. I sent an email 30 days out from my sailing and they replied back that the medical fridge would be in the room by the evening of the first night
  9. Anyone know what kind of music is played at Music Hall? I heard they used to do a lot of cover bands, but recall seeing that changed. We had a fantastic time on NCL's Breakaway, which had Sid Norman's Pour House and their house band was fantastic! We went there almost every night. Hoping to have a similar experience on Oasis...
  10. Luckily for us on the ship, it wasn't one of ours, but still feel horrible for the victim and his family/loved ones....
  11. 7am woke up to Oscar Oscar Oscar over the loud speaker. Supposedly man overboard port side was wearing life jacket floating face down. We were already at the dock in Nassau. Thoughts and prayers for his/her loved ones. Dunno if it was a passenger on the ship or a dock worker. Anyone else here on the ship have any insight?
  12. Anyone have this available? Sailing on Indy in a couple weeks and wife needs to know what she can/can't drink w/ the Drink Package. TIA
  13. I just purchased VOOM in Cruise Planner for my upcoming cruise in May (free voucher from Casino), how do I get the discount??
  14. Heading out on Indy next month, first time on this class of ship. Not too sure what the shows are - see a possibility of Grease? Although we just saw that last year on Harmony, still a solid production. Main question is, is the Quest back on ALL ships???
  15. I just priced it out for our upcoming Oasis cruise in August. It's $16.99 for the first device and $14.99 thereafter. It used to go down more per device, I got it for $10.99 for 4 devices on my last cruise in August on Adventure. It get s expensive....$400 for 4 people for a week, BUT on an Oasis Class ship, I think it's necessary to be able to keep in touch, especially with children and elders.
  16. Sailing Oasis in Aug 23, drink package was $74.99, now it shows $72.99, but every once in a while when I look it shows $62.99! When I click on the $62.99, it automatically changes to the higher price to $1205 for the cruise. Nothing is changing. The UDP is the same price. Looking to book another room on my sailing for my daughter, less than a hundred off. A Central Park Balcony is now $100 less than what I paid for an Oceanview!!! Do better RCL!
  17. I had to log into my laptop while on Harmony last month. I had 2 devices total for my wife and myself. I needed to have her log out so I could do some website validation calls to my cell, so had to be on 2 at one time. It was a pain, especially since she was using her phone! šŸ˜‰ But I got through it. Worked flawlessly even connecting to a VPN
  18. No, those were given to her for her tea. She just happened to have themā€¦
  19. So last night I volunteered to spend the night in ā€œthe red zoneā€ so have dinner with my wife and to ride it out with her. The guilt of breathing fresh air was getting to me. I was escorted to deck 2 to medical, For what reason, I have no idea. After waiting for a half hour I got very antsy and caused a little havoc by saying why am I here? Iā€™m not sick! They almost immediately ā€œevacuatedā€ me to my wifeā€™s room. Spent the night, got 150 for dinner, was good. Ordered room service this morning, coffee, eggs, toast. They brought OJ, milk, cereal and pastries! These are the ā€œsoup containersā€ I was referring to. Ridiculous.
  20. Sheā€™s feeling like garbage. The one major complaint is the lack of fresh air and the room service food is terrible and cold by the time she gets it. We still have the UDP for her and she will order from a specialty restaurant tonight so hopefully that will be better. Thank you so much for asking! Really means a lot, especially when people donā€™t care how she feels and just criticizes things said as usual on here
  21. Thought I had a pic of the actual soup container they brought but donā€™t have it. Meanwhile they tested me yesterday, had to wait til about 11am to get the test and they said that theyā€™d call with results. Had to register with their service so was able to see the negative result within the hour. They NEVER called me! After I went on with my day, I went to the pool this morning after the WJ breakfast, then went back to the room to do a little packing. As I was walking toward my room I see the nurse with a cart in a gown and a mask walking towards me and I said, uh oh! Another one down!! My room attendant flagged her down as I was walking towards her and she said get in your room and put your mask on! They were there for me!!!! Nobody said a word about me testing again! Took the test, waited about 45 minutes and it came back negative again! Soā€¦room attendant told me that if I wasnā€™t there for the test I would have to go to medical and pay! NOBODY said boo about me testing again! Luckily Iā€™m negative, posting from Izumi! Part of me wishes I was positive so I could commiserate with my wife who is not feeling well and I miss her so much!
  22. What group? Iā€™m I the group for this sailing, nobody said boo. I heard 15 early in the week but nobody would give a straight up answer, not even the Guest Services Manager when I asked her in her office. Bottom line, they are not treating her well. I was told the doctor will NOT see her unless sheā€™s experiencing a medical emergency. Gave her some meds but nothing is making her feel better. Gave her meds with no instruction on dosage, time etc. Yes, they gave her internet, but we had it already, and charged for movies so far but Iā€™m sure thatā€™ll be credited. She is able to order whatever she wants to eat. They got her Izumi for lunch yesterday, had lobster from the mdr last night but when they brought her the coffee in a to go soup container that was ridiculous. I had to fight tooth and nail to get her a tea kettle. When youā€™re sick like that you NEED tea, not wait for tea for over an hour. Only one day to go! Maybe Iā€™ll hit up the Solo Cruisers meetup! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
  23. Ever had room service for breakfast in the Red Zone? Didnā€™t say the food on the ship is crappy. Itā€™s actually quite good.
