Thanks for your pictures so far, loving the review.  My first cruise was on the Adventure (2010 I think) and it's great seeing her again

What are the table minimums at the casino? (Ex. craps, BJ, roulette)

Day 1 

 

Schooner Bar 

 

 

 

Schooner Bar has always been our favorite place to hang out!  Not so much on the Allure..nothing cozy about their Schooner.

I don’t think we are in Kansas any more … this ship looks and feels so different than the Oasis Class ships… it feels like one of those classic ships from back then 😆… you will see more pictures later on it is unique to me and I like it 

Yes and yes!!

This was a different for me because when I checked my calendar prior to departure I saw all my dinning reservations were made by Royal… I think they might be trying to be proactive to avoid overcrowding but I was able to make changes to the time once onboard.

 

Thank you so much!  Have a great cruise!

I went onto my cruise planner and booked all of the time slots for our cruise in Sept. on Adventure😉

the only change for MDT is now that it starts much later around 645

That's interesting. I wouldn't want it to be much later than that. Thanks.

I don’t know if any body remembers a scene from the Nanny where they went on a Celebrity’s cruise ( no longer in service) that’s what this ship reminds me.  If they didn’t put a sign at the Schooner Bar I probably wouldn’t recognize it!

I guess RCL doesn't want to have too many people coming on board and booking the same time so they're trying to spread out the reservation times. And I'm sure that works for many people. We usually dine at a different time each evening depending on the schedule. We like to go to the shows and we schedule our dinner time around that so we don't know until the same day what time we will be dining. We can still make the reservation each day as it comes and not have to pick a time in advance, correct? Just want to make sure there is still the same level of flexibility as in the past as it's the only reason we now choose MTD.

I like that they put in a reservation for you like a spot holder and you can go change it later.  I only had to change a few to meet my entertainment needs.  Yes it is flexible and you can change it but you will find that most of the time they picked will work for you if you are on MTD.  Especially you have that 15 minutes grace period too!

Glad to hear that. What 15 minute grace period?

Please tell me there are more drink offerings than that for Top Tier event!

 

[BecciBoo]

We loved Adventure last month, best food in MDR in many cruises!  Have a great time.

You have 7:30 … they will give up your table at 7:45 … but usually there is no issue especially not everyone show up at MDR ( specialty dinning / Windjammer/ ETC)

They are only passing out mimosa, champagne, juice and fruit punch.  I guess you can order other drinks but it will be charged to your package or coupon or sea pass card.  It’s a 10 am event.

Got it. Good to know and relieved. Love the flexibility of MTD. Thanks again for all the valuable info. Very helpful stuff.

Day 2

 

Its a cloudy rainy windy kid of a day … people are in light jackets and they look like they are cold sitting outside but they have that look that it’s my vacation and I am going to sit out here even if it’s cold look 😂 

[BennyBrun]

Day 2

 

On my way to the Windjammer where I am greeted with a line to enter… it’s about 12:45 PM

[BennyBrun]

Day 2

 

Windjammer Lunch 

[BennyBrun]

Day 2 Windjammer Lunch … chicken fingers… not  available upfront… only at the back … you have to look around and spot the differences… 

[BennyBrun]

Day 2 Windjammer 

[BennyBrun]

Day 2 Windjammer 

 

The no sugar added Boston cream pie and the chocolate pot is excellent!  Much better than the Oasis version than the Wonder version and the Symphony version!

There are two lines, one for those with reservations and another for walk ups.  They open at 645, which IMHO is a joke since other lines open at 530 or so for their version of MTD.

Benny had mentioned about the Windjammer being jammed when he stopped to peruse and possibly have a snack before he went to the MDR later in the evening.  If people are used to eating at 600, they are relegated to either the Windjammer or early set dining.  If you want flexibility, you need to be flexible and start at 645 or later.

Don't see any light jackets on those who are soaking in the hot tub. 🤔

[Jerseygirl1416]

The food always looks better in your pictures than I remember it looking in person😂
