You can do that as long as you are not booked with an Early Saver rate.

Yes, the Serenity bar has different types of Sangrias (see menu below). When I was on the Horizon a few weeks ago, there was also a bar in Ocean Plaza that had the peach and berry sangrias. I had the peach and it was delicious.

 

I did not know this, this is great! I love Sangria.

We ate on the Lido deck on the Magic this past summer. It was my first time ever eating dinner at the buffet. I was pleasantly surprised, it was quite good with a decent variety.

The sea day brunch in the MDR is a must, it's very good Breakfast in general is miles better in the MDR compared to the buffet. We rarely eat breakfast at the buffet.

Most of the desserts on the lido are very bland and not good at all. The cookies and the key lime pie (if you can find it) are good though.

I wasn't a fan of the stuffed mushrooms. I usually love stuffed mushrooms and most people here say they love them on the ship, but I thought they were bad. I have only ordered them once on my first cruise though, so maybe I could give them another try.

I ordered the chicken fingers on the room service menu (for a fee) and they were like jerky. Very tough. The room service fries were just okay. Just basic fries.

Mine went up $70 (had to upgrade one category, mine was sold out), but I got $250 OBC so super happy! Thanks for posting this!

That’s how bingo works. It’s not exactly the best bet in the house.

Your basic hotel in Barcelona looks just like a cruise ship cabin. Looking forward to the rest!!

We had Fun Ships on multiple days of our cruise in August. I don't know if it was listed on any menus but I had no problems ordering them.

Wonder if they have unlimited drink package...just saying

It was an Australian cruise. I don't think they offer Cheers, do they?

I think that would be right at the height of Spring Break.

Depends which side of the pier they "park" on and whether they back in or not. Who knows!

I didn't have that experience at all.

No, as far as I know those items are not usually available at the gift shop.

You can bring a bottle of water off the ship you just can't bring it ON TO the ship with you.

You can take a glass of wine to the dining room with you. Just ask for a wine glass at a bar and pour it in your room.

Corkage fees are not for "uncorking" your bottle of wine. It is a fee for bringing your own wine to a restaurant instead of purchasing it from them. They will chill and serve it to you and yes, uncork it, for a corkage fee. (they don't always charge it but that is their policy as well as most restaurants anywhere)

We ate on the lido when we were in Aruba from 1-9 on our last cruise. It was PACKED. I'm not sure how it usually is, cause that was the first time I had ever done that, but I doubt it's usually that busy.

I think that is the aft dining room upper level.

When we cruised out of LB, we had a 1:30 flight to catch and we almost missed it. We literally checked in with a minute to spare. (I'm not exaggerating). Debarkation was an absolute nightmare and the worst I've ever seen it. I think it had a lot to do with customs, and I don't believe it was a normal situation, but I would NEVER chance a flight earlier than that.

I'm waiting for Feb 2020 to come out. It seems as though about half of the ship's itineraries are out. Still waiting to see what ship will be out of Long Beach (7 days cruises) then as my step daughter really wants to go to LA.

The elevator doors are around the corner from the railing where she would have fallen from. I don't see how people pushing and shoving to get into or out of the elevator would affect her from where should have been. I really think that is not likely what happened. But we were not there, so it's hard to say, I just can't see that scenario making any sense.

Can tell you're not from the south.:D:D:D

Nope, I am not. I have no idea what proper huevos rancheros are supposed to taste like. LOL

You're welcome, please take a menu! The banana split is half size but we have each ordered two.

I did know about the banana splits, but I'm not a fan of bananas, so I've never ordered it. Definitely going to try the brownies one day though! I don't know if that qualifies for sophisticated though. lol

On nights when nothing tempts me I remember to order the chocolate fudge brownies from the children's menu with two scoops of ice cream.

Ooooo never thought of that! I love brownies and ice cream. Thanks for the idea!

I would have thought the cheese plate would have been the more sophisticated choice.

Creme Brulee, Bitter and Blanc, Grand Mariner Souffle. Basically anything that sounds french. LOL
