    Does Symphony of the Seas offer lobster tails on any formal nights? If so, which formal

    night? We are going on 7 night cruise on August 25, 2024 to Nassau, Bahamas. Thank you.

     

    in general it's the second "formal" night on any US based RC cruise.  Often day 6

  2. Remember way back towards the beginning of this cruise when all those tictokers not even on the ship were trying to stir up all sorts of trouble?  There was one I remember specifically who had some story about how there was some exclusive meeting and only the full cruise cruisers were going to have an opportunity to the northern lights.  Who knew she would basically be right.  Only based on the exceptionally rare geomagnetic storm and the fact that for the most part there are only full cruise passengers for this segment.

    The most interesting ice cream I ever had was a Kitchen Sink at a Jahn’s Ice Cream Parlor in NY.

    The most interesting ice cream I've had was Caramelized Turkey & Cranberry Sauce at Salt & Straw in 2022

    Wonderland on Quantum Class is a neglected stepchild. Very small, seating way to close together, no windows, single story. no bar or lounge area that you find on Oasis Class. We have done several Wonderland dinners on Oasis Class, on Quantum and Ovation we walked in laughed and walked out.

    Wonderland on the Quantum class is the original Wonderland.  If you go for the windows and the staircase, them by all means, skip it.  

  5. if you are cruising out of Cape Liberty, there is nothing to walk to near the pier.  There are restaurants near EWR that you could taxi/Uber to.  I don't want to get too specific since I left the area in 2020.  Since we are talking breakfast, there use to be an IHOP in Elizabeth which may still be there.  Otherwise, I would probably look for a diner.  Or a full service hotel and but breakfast in their restuarant.

    Just love Ben and Jerrys flavors.  That being said, we have never seen that on any cruise line.

    Royal had Ben and Jerrys until very recently on several ships

    We have a new chef, since Chef Ronald left us (though not sure if it was due to contract, or due to he had to go to the hospital...hope he is OK).   The pastry Chef must have told him how much we adored the dried fruit and nut cups....so we scored another plateful that was sent to us today.  😋

    Is there reason to think he had to go to the hospital?

    I can't bring myself to watch it again but did the woman in the first one claim the pinnacles ( or was it the whole cruise crowd?)  were given an opportunity to see the northern lights that everyone else was denied?  In the carribean?  Close to the equator?  On the SAME ship? What am I missing?

    We did Wonderland on the Symphony. Loved the experience. The food was good, but the themed experience was even better. The characters and the atmosphere put you into Alice's Wonderland.

     

    We did this again on the Anthem this past October. This time, it was a whole different experience. It was very obvious that this venue used to have a different use. Then somewhere along the line, someone decided to try to change the decor and call it Wonderland. 

    except it wasn't.  It's exactly where is was on the Quantum, the first ship to have Wonderland.

    The key is, Don't get greedy.  I've never had any problem bringing 1-2 cans of soda (or beer) back from a port stop.  They don't want to mess with you for that small amount.  

    However, they do care about bottles.  Last week they stopped the woman in front of me who had an EMPTY Coke bottle -- don't get why -- and let me walk right through with 2 cans in my backpack.  

    Interesting.  I'm pretty sure I've reboarded in the past with a partially empty bottle of pepsi with no problem
