Pumbaamd Posted December 25, 2017 #51 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I don't know. They had some tiny little sandwiches, a ham and cheese, a proscuitto (SP?), a turkey, I think and some kind of veggie sandwich. They had some salads, and pizza in the evening. Lunch was the same, but I can't remember if they had pizza at lunch or not. They had a soup every evening, too. They had prepacked egg salad, but I was afraid to get that. I don't think Park Cafe on the Serenade is like the one on the Oasis, but I could be wrong, I can't really remember the one on the Oasis. The Oasis class Park Café is 4 times bigger than those on the Radiance class and Vision class ships. The prepacked egg salad, and other sandwiches are not bad on the smaller ships. Like the dining room menus, their menus are similar fleet wise. When we must disembark very early on the final morning, we will have a sandwich, from the Park café the day before, in our fridge for a quick start before heading to the airport.

Clarea Posted December 25, 2017 #52 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Really? They won't punch your seapass card? We normally cruise Celebrity and never had that issue. Cruising on Serenade in Feb... hmmm... If you get a Guest Services officer who knows exactly where to punch the hole, you should be fine. The newest type cards have an embedded RFID chip, and some Guest Services officers won't punch a hole for fear of destroying the chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare perfect match Posted December 25, 2017 #54 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Thanks for sharing, Terre. I would like to sail on Serenade at some point, and your itinerary would work fine for me. :D That bed, however, not so much! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Terre Posted December 25, 2017 Author #57 Share Posted December 25, 2017 just don't expect that on Quantum class and Harmony/Symphony. That's too bad. The guy who punched mine was very willing. Wouldn't think it would be an issue on any class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Serenade, it's a nice ship. We've sailed on the Freedom and Oasis as well and of the three the Freedom is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Terre Posted December 25, 2017 Author #59 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Hi! Did you notice if the Serenade has the Freestyle Coca Cola machines in the Windjammer or elsewhere on board for those who purchase the soda package? Also, did you try the Rita's Cantina? Thanks! We are sailing in less than 90 days and are super excited! :o) No freestyle machines and, no we did try Rita's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Terre Posted December 29, 2017 Author #66 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Have been trying to post a link to my album so you can see more pictures of the ship and ports.

LisaAtlCruiser Posted December 31, 2017 #68 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Great review ! I was on this cruise also. I am enjoying reliving this great cruise again. Thank You.

SeaDays Posted January 7, 2018 #73 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Fabulous review and pictures. Thanks! As a lover of good soup, I really appreciate your pics. But the most uplifting detail was your reference to the pumpkin seed rolls. We’re really glad that they are still around. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
