Everyone wants to know about booking cabins on the aft of Voyager and Freedom class ships.

 

On the Explorer, the first time that we had a Deck 7 aft cabin, this entire area was painted battleship grey.

 

This is an improvement, at least color-wise:

I really only cruise FROM or THROUGH Port Canaveral so that I can visit my sons!

 

My son is a performer at SeaWorld.

Thanks for posting the new Chops menu, I can't wait to give it a try. Your son has the best job ever, I would love to do something like that.

I had the chance to try the new chops menu last month on Vision. Loved. Loved. Loved the snapper.

Here come some pictures, now that I am home and my computer knows my photobucket login. :eek: :rolleyes:

 

No Dr. Pepper. What is Mr. Pibb? Is it the same flavor?

 

Coca Cola would have you think they are, but DW is a MAJOR Pepper addict and says "There is a reason he is a Dr. and Pibb is just a Mr."

 

It does beat right around 2000 when we'd go to Vegas, she'd order a DP, and most any location would say "we don't have that, now about Root Beer?" as though being brown, carbonated and not Cola made them interchangeable.

LOL! I love the fact that "some" people think like that!

Great that you got Malbec. We are at the 350 level but it is not an option for us as an amenity.

[SherriZ366]

Carole -- do you know anything about Concierge rotations. I am updating the Google Drive spreadsheet that was set up for the "Current Concierge" thread. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hKBiGZ9Gqcp2G2owtX3RyQy7yQ0ijgxCL0nPjQKK8j4/edit?pli=1#gid=0

I didn't ask Rahul how long he would be staying on this contract. If he is still there on 9/7, I will ask him then. :)

Thanks Carole. Will look for our next cruise.

 

Rahul got back on the ship on May 11 so I gues he might be getting off in September. I wonder how the drydock schedule will affect him. We sail next on FR on 2-22-2014.

[Clarea]

Look again. It's there at that level.

You can only see the amenities for the 350 point level if you log in as someone who has between 350 and 524 points.

Will try it again. We are at in that range.

Thanks Kathy. I updated the spread sheet.

 

Could you also ask the Concierges how the dry dock will affect their vacations.

 

Glad to see you on the thread again!!!

[smd104]

Nikita, are you there?

 

Yes, you left your card in a slot machine this evening. You didn't come back to claim it, so I turned it in at the Casino Cashier's window.

 

I had a brief chat with the guy about that.

 

He fanned out a handful of them, and said, "These are just from this evening."

 

;)

 

I realize you are no longer on te cruise, but as I was reading thru, I had a question about the casino. I am new to cruising. At the casino, do you use cash?

Thanks for the info as my first cruise will be a western caribbean on Freedom of the seas next July! Soo exciting!

Yes, you need cash (USD) to play in Royal's casino. You can get cash against your onboard account, but they will charge you 5% for that.

You generally trade in the cash for chips though. ;)
