On our drives to zFlorida I swear there’s more food than luggage in the car. I think its one of those "mom" things. My kids are in their 20's & live out of state but I still carry granola bars in my purse. You just never know... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least if they do move happy hour, I can still get my coffee and a pastry in the mornings. Hi Kay! 🙂 Remember when the CL was originally where the DL is now on Oasis? The original DL was a tiny lounge just over the Promenade deck that only served coffee in the morning. All the happy hour set up was in Blaze for the DL. It was one of the best, never busy and could get a sit down (although limited) hot lunch and breakfast in there. Complimentary wine and beer at lunch. Sigh...how things change. 😞 Same thing here...I have cabin booked on Allure for the TA 11/1/20 on deck 11...did not see the dry dock coming...sigh. Not sure if the DL will be completely gone by then. I loved being able to pop into the DL on 11 for coffee as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the big difference is the what group they cater to. Nachi being limited to a smaller group, with more older folks, and quieter. Mr. Sanchos has the family theme park type set up and takes a much bigger crowd more geared to younger folks and lots of kids. Nachi & Mr Sanchos I don’t believe are walking distance apart. We’ve been to both.... Mr Sanchos more times... we do the AI... and it’s mostly all adults the kids most likely are in the pay as you go side. Never has it been crowded for us... we really enjoyed it much better than Nachi. The Coconut Shrimp is to die for at Mr Sanchos! We go just for that.... all you can eat & drink!

We were at Nachi last year, there was a family with two about 10 year olds that could see the water toys at Mr Sanchos and were not happy they were not where the toys were. The parents did walk them over to Mr Sanchos to use some of the toys so yes it is walkable for some. I do think it depends what you are looking for which is a better option, no one is better than the other just different. When it just the 2 of us Nachi fits, if we have the family along Nachi is not the right place. Not sure why some get so defensive about their choices, I am just happy we all have options to decide what makes the best sense for our needs at that point in time.
