ecslady:  Are you going to write a review.  We are going June 22 and are looking forward to hearing all about it.  Formal nights was one question but also wondered:  Did you take Canadian money for the ports?  Do most places at the ports take credit cards.  Did you do anything you recommend on port days?   Have been on a lot of Royal ships but not recently - How was the food and service?  Anything you loved or didn't love?

Canadians are usually very happy to take US currency.  Credit cards are welcome.  Use the Ports of Call forum to learn about activities in your ports.

I was also on last week's NE/Canada cruise.  You can use US money but beware you may get Canada money back if change is involved. If I want to use US$, I always ask what currency I will get back. Otherwise I use a credit card.  Credit cards are taken everywhere.

 

I went to the dining room the first night and didn't care for the food or the selections.  I then went to the Windjammer every night. There is something for everyone. The food is not what it used to be.  

 

The ports are easy to walk around. I've been to the ports before and always find something new I haven't seen.  I don't know what you're interested in but I look at the ship's excursions to get an idea of where they go.  I then take an excursion or go off on my own and get an independent tour.  The ports have tours you can get when you get off the ship (Grayline, HOHO, local tour companies).

I would be interested in seeing a cruise compass! We are going in July 😀 

Did anyone do the speciality restaurants? 

We are taking a tour in Bar Harbor Maine and have to be in town at 9:30 am. What time would you get the tender tickets for? How long did it take for you to get off the ship?

Thanks

Well that confirms there's only 1 formal night on the Adventure of the Seas 6 night to N.E./Canada. Can anyone tell me about the dress in the main dining room, both for regular & formal nights? Interested in both for me & wife. Going in July 2019.

Thank-you. I had seen that listing from RC, but I think it may be old, one sided. In the past when we would get dressed-up we would be upset at a few others wearing shorts & t-shirts on formal nights. Do guys still need a jacket & women dress on formal nights as RC would suggest? How about other nights? Anyone out there on any recent RC cruise. It's been a few years since we last cruised.

Royal does not enforce the dress suggestions, so you will see the full range of attire.  You can wear whatever you like.

What about Empress?   6-night Key West (5PM departure)-sea-CostaMaya(6PM)-Cozumel(5PM)-sea(Miami)

 

I'm thinking just 1 on the first sea day.

 

Any other opinions?

 

Roy

 

I thought Empress discontinued formal nights.

There are ongoing, raging debates/discussions about that on FB.  Empress "sort of" has formal nights, calling them "dress to impress" nights.  Some people say that they had them; some say that they didn't.  

 

It's a puzzlement!  😁

 

(points to anyone who recognizes the reference)
