Thanks for taking the time do the live review

Not a problem all and thanks for the comments so far.

 

Did lunch in the MDR. The lines were split two ways. One for the a la carte other buffet.

In the center they had the salad station along, hot dishes, breads, cheese and meats, dessert table, and a stir fry.

No baggage drop off just Sky Class folks, just Star.

Suite entrance is clearly marked, it is also the very first entrance.

Diamond drinks, outside of the Diamond Lounge when you get a drink at bar the vouchers are on your card. No paper coupons, outside of the benefit sheet.

Look at the attached file. The wines and beers listed are the complimentary ones during the day.

Thank you for the answers and also for the PDF for the Diamond drinks. nice to know beer and wine are still available complimentary during the day that is a nice perk ;)

 

 

Thanks again, and I'm enjoying your updates :D

Am I the only one that loves the chilled soups?! Seeing the Chilled Strawberry Bisque on the menu has my mouth watering

Hi! I met you and your mom, cabin crawl on Freedom, I think. John and I are doing this same itinerary 7/15 on Harmony for our free Pinnacle cruise. Enjoying following along, and interested in meals at Coastal Kitchen. Never tried Wonderland.....what were your thoughts on food quality. Presentation was nice.:D See you on another cruise! Thanks for doing this review.

 

I've read that Raj is concierge in Suite Lounge. Hope he's still onboard in July. Haven't seen him since Independence several years ago, but he was one of my favs! Tell him I'm coming back!

Some food for thought: Just got done with the Galley Tour.

The Chef made a comment that in the sense of cross contamination for allergies. All items on the buffet are considered as being contaminated. If you have a food allergy, speak with the staff on the buffet.

 

Did you know that Adam Goldstein's son has a peanut allergy? I would think that Royal Caribbean could set up a portion of the Windjammer for those with allergies especially if they are made aware before the cruise and rope it off etc.

I don't know how Adam Goldstein is but your suggestion would be a disaster. I am 110% certain there is someone on every ship of every sailing w a peanut or some kind of allergy.

They can't even stop chair hogs.

Tonight was the first night we've done dinner in Coastal Kitchen. I though the food was great, then again it doesn't take much to please me.

 

To me Wonderland was excellent. You just have to approach it with a very open mind. Let the server work their magic on the selections.

 

Will relay your message to Raj. Right now he is using the hm02 address.

Those big cakes look nice. I don't think I have ever been given anything to eat like that though. all the desserts also seem to be mousse based? --- are they just photo opportunities?

 

Or am I going to the wrong places. what should I ask for if I wanted a bit of that one at the front with the black cherries on

 

Enjoying your report very much. thank you.

There was someone cutting the cakes.

Front one was actually a blueberry cheesecake, one with the lady fingers was one as well. The cheesecakes are usually very heavily whipped or flavored filling with a white cake. Didn't try either one in particular. The chocolate one in the back used more of a bittersweet ganache filling. One with the strawberries on top was a whipped cream filling with something strawberry flavored added.

Can't really comment further on mousse based desserts. I do know that gelitan based are also predominant.

Wasn't that impressed by it right away. Two minutes after the scope I went else where.

Morning folks!

Just a quick recap of the day...

 

Didn't do much in St. Maarten. Took the water taxi over to the shoping/boardwalk area. Walked and browsed a bit before heading back to the ship later in the afternoon.

 

After getting back to to the ship got a quick bite in Windjammer then headed back to the room for a quick nap... Two hours later, woke up and headed over for a special helipad sail away for Sky, Star, and Pinnacle guests. After that, pre dinner snacks then Coastal Kitchen for dinner.

 

After dinner, went to Cafe Promenade where just as I sat down the Stow Away piano player popped up. Had to cut watching/listening short due to reservations at the comedy club. After that, happened to bump into some new cruise friends and ducked over to the empty Diamond Lounge to chat. Next thing I knew it was hovering around 11:30 and felt I needed to get some obligated casino time in.

 

Spent an hour then headed back up to get ready for our early arrival in San Juan tomorrow.

 

Side note: Tomorrow (now today) is the second formal night. So,*formal nights are day 2 and 5.

 

Cause every post needs a few food shots...

Summary so far of today... Took the trolley and walked around Old San Juan. Came back on, had the lunch of champions.

 

 

Other than that, not much more to say.

CP 150: Tenderloin on the menu, no ribeye.

 

Is CP 150 only for guests with status such as Diamond and such? Or can anyone make reservations to eat there?

[jwilliams151]

Like I said, don't expect too high of standards. I have the deluxe drink package. So many of the day wrap up posts will occur around 2am and might be classified as drunken ramblings.

Can't wait to read this review. I'm leaving on Saturday w/ the drink package and expect most of my nights to end similarly. :)
