We just cruised on the Mariner Jan 13 - 17 and plastic water bottles were still used.
They are testing it out on the Vision and not sure how many other ships before they roll it out fleet wide.

Just off the Vision. There are no more plastic water bottles onboard. They have been replaced by cans of Dasani with a few extra ingredients...magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, and salt. We were told this was going to be a fleet-wide change. I found the cans to taste like tin and didn't think they were refreshing. I much prefer just plain water, don't need the extra ingredients, especially salt!

We are just off the Adventure and Sanjay is the HD.

Thanks Bob, that worked.

I click on the link and it tells me I need to request access for the Google Drive.

Just received an email that our January 26, 2020, cruise on Freedom of the Seas has been canceled. She will be going into dry dock from January 19 thru February 20, 2020.

Chops! I love Italian but you can't beat dinner at Chops!

We're booked on the January 26, 2020, cruise. I just looked and it is strange that all of the other dates in January are there except for the one on the 12th.

Enjoy her while you can. She is being transferred to partner line, but no date set yet....could be a year or more...but it is a done deal.
Officers on board were not happy about things not being repaired or updated, but RCI is not going to put money in her now.
I just hope to still be able to make my January cruise with her before she leaves. We enjoyed our time on board this month.
I suspected they were going to sell her and many of the crew felt the same way. I sailed on her sister ships, Vision and Grandeur, and there is a huge difference in the way they were kept up to date!

please verify for me who your captain is. I want to update my Current Captain thread.
It's Captain Tobias.

Angelina, they offer lots of trivia sessions, although there were some passengers who had been on several back-to-back cruises and knew the questions and answers. One in particular was a very sore winner and a sore loser! We spent a lot of time in the Schooner Bar where they had lots of games, trivia, music.
Depplep, having been on a Mediterranean cruise on the Serenade, you really don't spend a lot of time on the ship. The ship, however, is quite small and it does feel crowded. We do junior suites and it's the smallest JS we've ever had! We won't ever sail on this ship again and this is the first time we've ever said that!

I am looking at booking Rhapsody. Reviews are good or bad, nothing in between. I am specifically interested in the casino. What is the overall experience. How large is the casino? What are table limit minimums. I play mostly 3 card poker, blackjack, and ultimate Texas hold'em.

We just got off Rhapsody and I would recommend looking at a different ship. She hasn't been fully refurbished in years! I really think RCCL is going to sell her - a lot of staff thinks so too!
The casino is very small. My DH loves Ultimate Texas Hold'em and it wasn't on this ship - apparently they are on larger ships.
-
We just got off the Rhapsody and were very disappointed in the ship. The vast majority of the staff is amazing but the ship is in rough shape. If you go to the Schooner Bar, please tell Simon and Vivian that Karen, Mark, Dianne and John say hi and we miss them!
I hope you have a great time!

We were on the Jewel back in November and they opened the Vortex, so not sure why they wouldn't do the same on the Serenade.
-
Sorry, I'm having a hard time coming up with a firm answer to your question. I would not want be cocksure and bite off more than I could chew otherwise. Perhaps another poster will blow in soon to offer a hand. Hope your wait is not in vein.
Best. Post. Ever.

my DH and I plan to travel with my two daughters. We have booked an aft balcony that definitely has two lounge chairs. 8092
We are considering upgrading to a grand suite, but they all seem to be in the front of the ship.
My concerns are mainly seasickness and noise? And also with a grand suite does it only come with One lounge chair?
thanks.

We are just off the Vision and this was our cabin. It's a great size for two people but would be very small for four. The bathroom was small as well. There was no noise as the cabin is directly under the relaxation room for the spa, however, there is a lot of motion and some vibration.
-
Following. Tell us more!
I will definitely finish this up soon. My sister and her husband drove and they offered to take some of our items home for us so we didn't have too much to carry on the plane...one of the items was my camera. As soon as I get my camera back this weekend, I will finish.

The next morning, we went to the tour of Central Park. It's only offered on the first sea day and well worth attending. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
-
We had MTD reservations for 8 p.m. on deck 4 in the Grande Dining Room. Like I mentioned in my initial post, it was very slow but the food was fantastic!
After dinner, we headed to the Globe and Atlas Pub where Aaron McDonald performed every evening. We met Aaron on our hotel transport to the dock. He is new to RCCL and this was his first gig as a soloist. He plays acoustic guitar and sings. He is very talented and very eager to take suggestions and learn new songs. We went to see him several nights during the cruise.

We then went to explore the ship. This is a really big ship!! Our favorite spot on the ship is Central Park.

Great! That is the one we are doing in May. Hoping to see some pictures?
I'm trying to remember how to get pictures on here...LOL!

We had late seating on deck 3. A huge number of empty tables every evening.
It must be the My Time Dining where they're having issues.
