If you have a chance can you get a photo of the drink menu at the solarium bar? Thanks!

Was Wonderland your choice for a 1st night dinner or was there a discount offered to dine there the first night? Thank you for your review, loving it and the photos are beautiful

 

 

Sorry for the multiple emails, jotting them down as I think about them. Would you be able to find out the beverage package price when purchasing onboard - there are some discrepancies online with the pre-purchase option and would like to see what they are if purchased on the ship. Thank you

 

 

Thanks for following along! We decided ahead of time to book Wonderland for the first night. No discount unfortunately as we paid way in advance.

 

Drink package prices I just snapped from the Esplanade. Sorry for the terrible quality of the pic:

Since you prepurchased Voom, did you need some type of key code to log on. If so, where did you get the code?

 

 

Yup, voucher codes were in an envelope in our stateroom. Connect to Royal Wifi, open up a web browser and you're directed to a landing page. There's a link for those with voucher codes. Punch it in and you're connected and ready!

Anything good on the daily compass? What has your interests...besides the obvious....drink of the day!

[CapitalKyle]

Jamie's Italian for lunch today. $20 for lunch, $30 for dinner. But they're only open for a limited time for lunch, 12:00p - 1:30p. Someone suggested to me yesterday that it's only on sea days they're open for lunch.

Thanks for the comments and pictures so far, CapitalKyle! Not that I'm rushing your sailing, but 5/14 can't get here soon enough!

 

Not sure if this has been mentioned or asked, but do you plan on doing the puzzle break?

Honestly haven't taken a close look at the compass yet today! Woke up late and did some shopping, lunch and now heading to my iFly reservation!

14th will be here before you know it!

 

Thought about puzzle break but given how short of a cruise this is and the fact that I'm on Harmony in December, which has built a dedicated space for Puzzle Break, I probably won't be doing it on this trip.

Loving my virtual cruise with you Kyle!!!! Cannot wait to see the pics and hear what you have to say about Bermuda. We are on her 6/16 and have one stop in Bermuda. It's our first time and we're excited.

 

I'm finally all caught up with you now! Enjoy your time and may it go by verrrrry slowwwly.

 

No biggie, but if you stop in the Cafe Promenade, can you see if they have the cheesecake pops?

 

Thank you!!!!!

Kind of agree. We are on a 5 day on Anthem in July, but will be on the Harmony in November!

I haven't heard anything about puzzle break since the storm. Is puzzle break open for booking on your cruise?

That's a good question I have not seen it advertised anywhere. I will try to find someone to ask.

We did it on the 4/18 cruise. Never saw it advertised at all, everyone in our room heard about it from these boards lol.

Agreed - I've heard this too. Not advertised - people who haven't read about it on CC apparently just stumble upon it by Seaplex...from what I hear there is a desk or podium or something with signup sheets. That's about it.

Lunch was fantastic. The cured meats plank is amazing and probably worth the cover by itself. The lemon cheesecake is divine, too! Will be planning a return trip on Harmony for sure.

Just to let you know that we were on the the 3 cruises before this one, disembarked on April 30th and there was no event on any of the 3 cruises that caused the Coast Guard Inspection. This is standard procedure.

 

 

Thanks! And wow, back-to-back-to-back! Life goals hahaha.

So this was the only menu I could find at the Sunshine Bar in the Solarium. A smoothie menu? Otherwise I guess it's just the standard menu... But I'll ask the bartender when I go back for a refill :p
