thanks Bob

I wanted to add my comments about the lack of salad bar fixings at the salad bar. They were putting anything in the containers to make it look full but it lacked most things people put on their salad. Not a big deal but every year there is less and less selections in food in both the MDR and WJ. Soon we will only have hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch.

I just did my survey a couple weeks ago and forgot something important. Is there anywhere I can send my comment to?

Thanks for that.  I take it then, that you have an allocated table in MDR that you sit at every night and don't have to wait for tables to become available as in rrestaurants etc 

yes if you are not assigned to my time dining. 

yes they do.

if your friend can afford a cruise, why cant they also afford to pay for what the drink on board?

how can you have good bbq without open flame/smoking the meats? 

along with what everyone else is saying, there is also plenty of sports games to play in the sand as well. Let them know ahead of time they aren't going there. Hopefully they act right about it.

SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

Don't mention them.  Makes it harder for us to book them. 😄

 

Just did the April 12 nighter.  NO suites available to repeat in 2020, but have booked it for 2021. 😄

 

taking my first 12 nter on her next November. so excited.

Which elevators did they replace?

 

aft elevators, not the glass ones. They already replaced the other 2 aft ones that aren't glass. 

I am so mad I missed this huge mistake. I was on the GR when it hit. How long was this price up for until they realized their mistake?

I have only see one person discuss color and it was on here. It wasn't good either, they got a full refund because it turned color. It could have been the pool so don't let that discourage you. I think they said it was around $150-175.

I have only found fishing excursions on RC in Bermuda. The excursion was well worth it, we were catching and releasing all night. Plus Bermuda is beautiful!

Hopefully NEVER.

 

Sailed 4 times on her, and have 2 more booked.  We love her.  And especially the crew.

 

She has been refurbished and updated several times.  The latest was, they just replaced the pool side screen.

 

 

Yes, they replaced that and 2 elevators while we were on. I missed not being able to watch a movie under the stars that week but it wasn't a big deal. Even with 2 elevators out it wasn't hard to get one except on Embark day.

This ship and those that work it are wonderful! I was sad to see Enchantment go but I love the Grandeur so much more.

160 days. (just got back on Saturday and ready to go again)

the mozzarella sticks are great! I didn't even make it to the funnel cake last week.

I was there last week. At the gates of the waterpark is just a small stand where they check your wristband. I honestly cant say if they have equipment or not to do it because they can just jot your portfolio # down and give you a band there. I would be safe and book it on the ship and not wait till you walk off the pier to do it.

she really won't be able to do much with it in Nassau.  dd was in a wheelchair and outside of the us there's just too many obstacles.  but yes,  get her Rental so she doesn't have to depend on anyone. enjoy your cruise!

first thing is you need to make sure the scooter will fit thru the door of the cabin if you don't have a handicapped room. You cant leave it in the hall. If so then I would suggest renting her one so she will have more freedom. 

timing and close to my house honestly. With my kid finally getting out of school next year we are finally booking a long cruise to the southern Caribbean where we haven't gotten to go yet. 

1 day. less than 18 hours. 

I will be getting ready for muster this time tomorrow.

You do get access to Diamond Lounge, which is great. Other little perks, too. But no gift or anything. From when we started cruising 15 years ago to now, they are giving less and less as far as gifts go.

I see that, LOL! I am lucky to be able to cruise but only once a year so it took a long time to get here. Last time I upgraded I got a backpack. Now diet coke, LOL.

But who cares, I will have access to the lounge which is most important. 

there are few things that I would complain about on vacation and this is top dog. Is it ship wide or just your room? 

if you are going to decide against buying them per drink because you are frugal (I am the same way) then by all means, get the package. It will go on sale and you will find a price that makes it worth it. We got ours for $47 pp. totally worth it. I hated getting that bar bill at the end of my cruise. I also hating bringing rum runners because it was a hassle to keep going back to the room. Plus I felt guilty for doing it. 

thanks guys!

I am making diamond status partway thru the cruise I leave for a Thursday. I know the status wont kick in till a few weeks later but what about the pin and the gift? Is that this cruise or the next one? I remember getting a pin and a backpack or something when I made emerald or platinum. 

Ps. what is the gift?

Thanks!
