  1. On my Seranade Panama Canal cruise last fall we had both.  I had a crab appetizer that was was real crab in the early part of the cruise.  Towards the end of the cruise, Steak Oscar was on the menu, described as being topped with crab, it was not, it was surimi.

     

    I don't mind surimi, as long as it is billed as surimi or immitation crab.  I was very disappointed in the Steak Oscar and would not have ordered it if the description had been correct.

  2. We boooked a Two Bedroom Grand Suite on Allure for July 2022 (also managed to get one of the cabins with a hot tub on the balcony).  Now we are being switched to Wonder, which appears to have NO Two Bedroom Grand Suites.  Does anyone have any expeience being moved from one ship to another like this, where there is no one for one match in cabin types?  Talked to my TA who said we need to wait until we see what Royal does first, then we can go from there.  Hoping for a two bedroom Aqua Theater Suite, since there aren't other two bedroom options. 

     

    This was a 2020 cruise, cancelled and rebooked for 2021, then canceled and rebooked for 2022.

  3. Every cruise we tell my daughter that Shirley Temples are not listed as part of the soda package, so if the waiter says no, don't argue just order something else.  Well, she has never been turned down.  Mostly she orders them in the dining room or at a show, but has also had luck at walk up bar locations.  Things can change, but this is our experience over the last eight years.

  4. We took this tour in April and really enjoyed it.

     

    The ferry ride to the main land had free wi-fi, so we used the time to catch up on email and news from home. The bus ride to Tulum was on a new air conditioned coach with restroom facility.

     

    The guide on the bus was great, but unfortunately he was struck by another bus as he stepped off our coach! He ended up without serious injury but was taken to the hospital as a precaution. The tour company had another guide to us in less than 10 minutes. He was also very good. We had a restroom break before entering the ruins. The narration was via wireless headset, so it was very easy to hear the guide.

     

    As others have said, it is very hot! We had about 30 minutes on our own after the tour to look around on our own and return to the bus.

     

    The lunch was a nice buffet in a beachside, open air restaurant. We had about an hour to spend on the beautiful beach.

     

    The bus ride back, then the ferry ride to the pier got us back just in time for departure. We were not worried because it was a RCCL excursion, but there was definitely no extra time for any stops.

     

    We really enjoyed the day and would recommend it. Just understand that it could easily feel rushed if you go into it expecting a laid back day. Also, if you have difficulty walking long distances this is not for you.

  5. We just cruised Navigator last month. We requested a table for three at the first seating and had no trouble getting one. We also requested to be near a window and got as close as possible for a small table. The window tables seemed to be mostly 10 tops, at least on deck 4.

     

    We always had been at a big table in the past and were concerned we would miss the interaction. We really liked sitting by ourselves and have already requested that for our next sailing on AOS.
