Texas Realtor

I may have missed this feature, but I did not see anywhere on the interactive monitors where you could scan a card and when you selected the dining feature, it told you where it was located. I didn't see an option to select anything else. Is that a feature on the Viva and not Prima?

There was a reservation desk set up on deck 6 or maybe 7 that was very helpful. We had a party of 9, so it was difficult to get everything set up together without their help.

99 for a day pass. Very nice. I did not do it, but did a free tour. I actually wanted to do it, but my wife didn't so we didn't

I am sorry. Everyone I wasnt able to get this information.

No bother. There were 2 omelet stations at the buffet.

I have found the buffet to be perfectly normal. Its not as large, but the food is fine and seating is not as difficult as I thought it would be based on reviews that I read

So far my biggest beef is the fact that starbucks does not open until 6:30 and they do not have any baileys there. My wife likes baileys in her coffee, and I have to go down to deck 6 after I get the coffee, which can be a wait at times. I am not much of a coffee drinker, so it doesn't bother me personally, but I do get my wife coffee in the morning. I feel so old. I am staying in an interior cabin, solo studio, and I have been awake before 5 all but one day. I am not even 50 yet. LOL

I will check on the cost of the darts and mini golf.

So far, I don't have a favorite bar or restaurant. I definitely have favorite bartenders. I am a little disappointed that they seem to move the crew around. I like to get familiar with my waiters/bartenders. It seems like I get someone new nearly every time.

He definately says Captain out every time

I asked for cookies last night at hudsons and they brought them to me. one chocolate, and one sugar.

I will see. The only vibe passengers I have talked with so far booked in advance.

so far everything has been right on schedule. Costa maya clear to deboard at about 12:50 and all aboard at 7:50. I HIGHLY recommend doing cooking class at catrina's in costa maya. awesome experience. Macarena was our hostess. she was great.

I will try and get it for you.

My wife showed me how to send pics.

Where can I get that information?

So far, I don't really understand all of the negativity (Reviews) about this ship. It is a little difficult to navigate, but its not horrible. Chairs are available by the pool, indulge was crowded, but i was able to get a table for lunch yesterday. The only real complaint is that you HAVE to get reservations for just about everything as soon as you are allowed. Specialty dining MUST be reserved months in advance if you want a decent time. The best thing to do is book for 2 multiple times and then ask them to combine your reservations. We have a party of 9 and have 4 reservations for 2 and they allowed us to sit 9 at onva last night. Everyone on board gets free drinks, so it may take a few minutes in the morning to get a bloody mary or mimosa, but after 12 most of the bars are open and it lightens the traffic. On day one, I started tipping a dollar for each drink. I had a bartender tell me when and where he would be the next day. Surprisingly the bartenders dont all stay at the same bar. I guess there is a reason for that.

I am saving them, but it is a pain in the rear to send pics. Even though I have the streaming internet, I have not been able to send pics. I was able to facetime my family at home, so not sure why I cant send pictures. I will upload when the cruise is over.

Cancelled for this cruise.

I have not seen cookies, but I am not actively looking for them. I will ask about non alcoholic wine tonight.

There were limited bars open in Galveston, but you could get a drink. They charged 8.25% sales tax. Didn't notice a limited menu, but I did notice the beers had texas written on them. VIbe was sold out by the time we were aboard. at 1. They had a sign out saying that as soon as you got on the ship.

So far no issues with gettin seated for dining. We have 9 and were seated as soon as we were ready in Commodores last night. Food was great.

donna summers is on for our cruise.
