Thanks for the replies! I told her I had never heard of that before so I am wondering if she missed them somehow.  I have no clue how but hey I guess it could happen lol

Back in mid August a family from our church Sailed out of Charleston on The Sunshine.   I was talking to her and she said she was disappointed because there were no shows at night.   Can anyone confirm this being true? I have never been on a cruise without shows!!!

We are going sailing again after a long break due to Covid.  Nov 2019 to be exact is the last time we cruised.   
I have heard about some changes in food.

so I have a couple questions.

1) Do they have the sweet and sour shrimp?

2) is Lobster still served free or at all on formal night?

3) Escargot still offered?

4) last but not least Cream Brûlée 

I tried to search for this but couldn’t find answers.

Thanks in advance!!!

Lew

PS Can you still do a personal muster session instead of group? 
 

Thank you for all the replies…. We don’t all stay in one cabin and our shoes alone takes up one of the suitcases.   So each person has a suitcase with clothes, a garmet bag, toiletries bag( carryon) plus our sons have backpacks.   The first cruise YES I had way more than we needed but 10 cruises or so later I’ve learned what to take and what not.  Although my family teases me about the amount of shoes lol

i will let my friend know the policy hasn’t changed.  🙂 

Since Covid we haven’t cruised 😞  A friend is leaving in 11 day for first cruise.  How many suitcases are you allowed to bring onboard?  I told her we had 6-8 for family of 5 plus carryons.   Has a limit been set ?

Do they still serve Sweet n Sour Shrimp on first night?

I got a great Casino offer $500 OBC plus $650 off and a reduced deposit of $99 plus free drinks while playing.

I have a skin allergy to hand sanitizers so I bring wipes and wash my hands before I eat.

We love murder mystery dinner shows but this one was hard to follow and awful ! We spent $200 for the 4 of us when we went.  No microphones made it hard to hear them. We missed the welcome aboard show and regretted our choice. 

Can you tell me if there is anywhere besides Izumi to get sushi on Harmony?  Does the Windjammer have any?  Hubby loves sushi !!!!

Yes there is but you have to take it out within 14 days for preexisting conditions. We buy ours through Allianz but check with cruise line to see if they have the same time frame.  

Personally I think it is a tight schedule.  You have to be at airport 2 hrs before flight and it is an 45 Min to an hour drive to MCO.   Also I had injured my knee and was told they would have a wheelchair assist waiting at the gate when I had to do a layover.  Never happened 😡. Twice! On way there and on way home. Hopefully that will work better for your dad 🙂

Thank You can't wait for answer!!!  My mom loves her milkshakes LOL

We are sailing on Harmony in Oct. We purchased the non alcoholic refreshment package. Are Johnny Rocket Milkshakes included? If not is there anywhere else that makes them that would be included?

Thank you 🙂

Will it be OK to have both in the same bag if we are all boarding together.  Both cabins were booked with same credit card and are linked?

Kathy put both in the carryon. When you get to the security check in take one out and hand it to your son. He can scan it through with his things. After you get on the other side put it back into your carryon and roll it onboard 🙂 If it was me I would ask TSA if it can stay in carryon but let them know you have two cabins 🙂 My motto is if you ask not you get not 🙂

I need some clarity 🙂 I am cruising from US and have a drink package.  I know you don’t have to tip additionally to the 18% added to my package but do most people add more per drink when you sign?

Is there a tour company that uses a van for public tours?  Mom is in a small scooter that will fit in a mini van ( it will come apart to fit in a trunk or van)   I have seen private tours but the cost is expensive for just the 2 of us.  The cruise accessible tour sold out.  This will Be Moms first time and most likely last time she will be 76 this year.  Any help is much appreciated!

My mom is taking her scooter on our cruise in October.  The accessible tour is sold out. Do you know of any others in St Thomas?  If we even had a van tour the scooter would fit in back it will break down to go into a car.

Thank you for quick replies !!! 

I have tried to google about what is loaded to my sea pass for Gold C&A.  I read instead of books they load things to your card.   Anyone have a list of what is loaded?

Are JR shakes included now?  I have tried to search but can’t find anything.   We have the package that includes specialty coffee and non alcoholic drinks.

We have a special  needs daughter. We arrive early and sit in the front. Oasis of the Seas has wheelchair cutouts. A crew member has to take you around to an elevator. On one occasion there was a Star Class passenger who took the HA companion seat (marked with the universal symbol). So we had to sit behind her as they did not acknowledge it. I think the Genie should not have reserved that unless one of their party had a wheelchair guest.

 

Thank you! I agree unless you are with a handicapped party do not sit there! 

Is there entrance level on floor seating!  I know there are upper sections but the floor seating is what I am trying to find out.   Can you enter the floor section without stairs?

In back on floor level or do you have to walk down stairs to get floor seating?
