Day 2

 

Yeap I hair sprayed again… due to the ship movements they cut out a lot of the hanging from the ceiling act… like the bells, how Tracy enters the stage at the beginning etc…

So the last cruise we had about 5900 cruisers… this cruise is over 6000 but somehow it seems less crowded … weird!

 

They said 5700 at the top tier event last week.

Day 2

 

This is why Dennis is the best CD… he goes the extra mile… all the other cruise director I have seen just do the announcements and gets going .. but Dennis takes it home!  Funny funny funny!  Watch this video … oh and if you don’t have an apple product you might not be able to open it

Sorry I missed the belly flop contest. Yes I thought Dennis was excellent.

The long lines for pictures 

 

 

I was impressed last week with the amount of people who did get dressed up for formal night and stood in line for pictures. Seemed like we had a lot of Spanish speaking guests and they all dressed up.

Hooked Dinner … I created my own lobster feast 😂 

Thanks for the food pics! We are from New Orleans so hoping Hooked food tastes as good as it looks!

Are they still serving Lobster in the MDR on the 2nd formal night?  Also, are the fomal nights on day 2 & 5?  Any info would be appreciate trying to schedule Specialty for next week.

 

Thanks

I am not sure what TAD means but for the B2B we met at the MDR deck 5 at 9:15 to start the process.

Thank you! TAD is an acronym for turn-around day.

Diamond Lounge Offerings 

Are the Diamond Lounge evening cocktail hours 4:30 PM - 8:00 PM on the Symphony?

[source]

Could anyone please tell me which MDR is open on embarkation day?  RCL normally pushes you to Windjammer Buffet.  Much more relaxing in MDR.

 

Thanks

5PM to 8PM.  If you order a drink it will count towards your Diamond coupon.

Lobster night at MDR is on the second formal / dress you best night.  Make sure you have a reservation or prepare to wait if you have MTD

I enjoyed hooked and because most dishes are simply prepared you should like it too.  I did not care for the ceviche at all…

Day 3

 

I went to see the towel animal demonstration.  We all were ready to go and then this guys walked right in front of us and stood there didn’t even bother to check to see if he’s blocking people ….finally the couple next to me said something and he unwillingly moved.  He literally blocked everyone’s view that were already seated at the bar area.

[BennyBrun]

Towel animal demonstration… I speeded up lol for those that can view 😆 

 

They are extinct on NCL

[BennyBrun]

Day 3

 

Walking on the jogging deck … I heard the announcements that due to movement both Hiro shows Rescheduled and Hairspray is being moved to 9:30 PM !!  Never a dull moment on the Symphony of the Seas lol now I have to rework dinner schedule !

[BennyBrun]

One of the reasons we booked a boardwalk balcony is being able to watch not only the show , but the practices from our balcony. We like oceanview balcony rooms too, but when boardwalk is available,  we book it. We enjoy people watching at night too 🙂
