For our experience...each ship is different. Sometimes the breakfast in Chops or Giovanni's is really bad...and once we run into one of those...it's off to the dining room for us. Then sometimes it is very good...of which we stick to it. We never know which one it will be on each ship. We don't bail on one or two less than stellar meals...but by strike three...it's over with for us.

I also miss the Tutti salad bar in the MDR for lunch!

We loved...loved the old "Diamond Event" when it first came out. It was the peace offering from RCI when the Diamonds were kicked out of the (then only) lounge...the CL. The forward (Star Lounge) on Freedom was our nightly go to. Yes, just beer, wine, and cheap bubbly including a small container of bar mix...but we had such a great time. 🥰 Still friendly with the many good people we shared that event with.

Free???!! For Royal that is a four letter word!! Perish the thought of giving anything away! 🤑

None of the four Radiance sisters have interactive TV. I use the app (when it is actually functioning properly)....or if all else fails...get a print out at GS. Takes less than a minute for them to hand it to you.

Pinnie breakfast in Giovanni's on Serenade....Chops is suites only (and is always empty in there).

Really wish we had not booked the one we had...lost our money on it (and not cheap), but just could not stick with it for the lack of organization (which was a total joke). We walked away from it. Very happy indeed that we were docked in town. It was soooo nice and easy to just walk anywhere we wanted for two days Lovely weather added in made it special. 🙂

We were amazed at the amount of bikes on the very nicely laid out bike path along the river. The city sure did that right! 🙂 So much benefit to not just health and cost... but also to help keep more cars off the road.

whatever.

We were here on an overnight. We started out on (yet another) totally lame ship tour...bailed after the bad organization was obvious...and decided to simply walk into town to tour Time Square. (We were docked in Manhattan). Great time...and my first visit to the city. Then today, we simply walked a very long way along the waterfront along the Hudson river. Really impressed at how they have brought that area along...apparently started in 2005. Nice walk, as a "deer in the headlights" staring at all the impressive and interesting sky scrapers. Some very talented builders. 🙂

My quote was just a joke. Sorry if I offended you. My bad. 😞

No...sorry, but I am not. I am only allowing myself one time filling social media outlet. 😉

The residents overwhelming voted to ban the larger cruise ships....but our Governor reversed their decision to let them in. 😲

That is what is nice about choices. Can you imagine going into Baskin Robbins with only one flavor available? 😉

I don't tend to follow too many patterns. 😄
