Wonderful thread.

 

CAn someone please tell me if you can do take-out from Alfredo's?

 

Thanks.

 

I don't think so because they don't have boxes. When we were on beginning of January I'm pretty sure someone asked and was told no because they can't bag it up. They were then seated for their meal.

Great job and great photos

Will be interested to hear about the islands

Thank you

[dickinson]

This is fantastic reading! Thank you so much. We have only sailed once on RCI and are greatly anticipating our Feb. 25 Regal cruise. You are posting so much useful planning material here, again thank you!

Just one question if you can answer sometime during this posting, how much is gelato?

 

Gelato is minimum $3.50. I think you get three scoops and some toppings. Maybe someone else will know more.

I was done with my swim and there was no food yet, so I figured it was a good time to get back to the ship while it was not too busy. I had a burger and a soft [emoji895]. I just rained for 10 minutes. Guess I will relax for a bit and maybe workout later before dinner.

Just shy of an hr swim...no conception of time out there. The water is wavy today...I am in need of a burger. Thought it was closer to BBQ time [emoji22]

Was the water temperature bearable ? We are from Michigan so it doesn't need to be real warm for us to be happy...:)

Thank you for posting and all the great information, we'll be on the Royal in March.

It was fine. Cold at first touch but that's it. I have definitely gone into colder water on warmer days! I thought I was done eating for now, and I want to avoid sweets, but pecan pie and a fresh walnut brownie with chocolate sauce....common!

Some advice for posting via the CC app....be patient! Around half of the time the posts do not go through....there will just be a spinning circle. The key is to be patient and wait for an error msg, then hit reply again. It will generally go through instantly on the 2nd attempt.

Did you find the pecan pie overcooked?

We asked for take out at Alfredo’s so we could eat it in our cabin while watching a movie. But they told us no. Must dine in the restaurant only.

We boarded at 10:57am!!! I immediately went to the CG to make a reservation for Ro's birthday on Thursday. I then called room service to change our mini-bar offerings. We are now eating at Alfredos. The Elite wifi is now unlimited. The speed test is great, but it is barely working. I assume it will get better at sea. The obstructed balcony is awesome!

I know the Elite internet is unlimited but it said for 1 device. Can you use both & iPhone & a iPad if you are only signedI in on one device at a time.

Thanks!

If you logged in via one device and return at a later point then you simply click connect to resume the session. But if you connect from another device then you are prompted to disconnect and use your current device instead. Enabling you to switch easily between devices.

Thank you for the info!:D

Wondering if anybody else following, who is currently on board, might have a corkscrew I can borrow???

Is Elite unlimited internet free? It’s not listed under Captain Circle benefits.

Right now it is free.

[voljeep]

Did you ask your steward? I think they can provide.

[Waynetor]

I've taken bottles to bar tenders and had them open wine bottles with no problem.

That is incredibly funny. You do know that you have a room 'Stewart'.

He/she will be very happy to help you.

To bad you did not give your cabin number. I would phone head office but I don't know where you are! LOL!;):D

[lor74]

Our steward is taking care of us. We have been on other cruises where they tell you to call room service or look elsewhere. I assumed taking it to a bar might require a corking fee...

I had gone back to the room to relax. I put on a movie and quickly fell asleep....I must have been really tired, as I never nap at home! When I woke up I actually watched the movie and did some exercises in the room as I was already feeling guilty about my next meal...

 

I say this every time "as a fat child growing up, an Italian buffet is the dream!" I always look forward to this night. Unlike our previous sailings on this class, the spread was not as extensive, but there is no shortage of food. Gluttony at its finest!

 

It's not that bad, the chocolate PB cake was not mine [emoji12]

 

We wanted to go see the comedian tonight, but he is in Live, and we will not be among the 50 people getting seats....one of the complaints regarding this class. Instead we came to the theatre to see the musical act....early enough to get an aisle seat.

 

Tbc...

On another note, to go with the hotel points that I am being refunded, the airline is now giving us $400 back [emoji1303]
