Wow, the OP is spending his personal time providing a service, there was nothing detrimental or derogatory in his post, just Wow, Why?

My thoughts exactly.  Really not a helpful comment about someone giving their opinion on THEIR live post…

Loving your review.

A few quick questions I had were Do they have 16oz beers or 12 oz. I do know some never came in 16oz IE Heineken, Corona. 

Did they have the prime rib day I did not see it posted in the dailies.

Did they have a good selection of draft beer my last cruise the draft was very limited even in the District Brew house.

 I haven’t seen any sixteen ounce beers yet. 
 We’ve been eating in specialty restaurants so I’m not sure if they’ve done prime rib. 
  There’s nothing like the District Brew House onboard. The only draft I tried to have was a Stella and they were out.

Apparenlty I might have enjoyed too many drinks last night. I didn’t get any clear

pictures of dinner except for the main dish.
 I had the oysters Rockefeller which was just ok and the OMG cheesecake for dessert which was pretty good. 
 

@RocketMan275 this is for you my friend. A well labeled picture. 
 

 
Double cut lamb chops.

If you happen to have lunch in the Main Dining Room when the Chicken Flautas are back on the menu, you should definitely try those out. They are excellent!! Well, on Pr1ma in November they were excellent. Hopefully you'll have the same results if you try them out. 

 

Loving the photos and review. Have a great rest of your time on Breakaway!

Won’t share breakfast photos today, it was just oatmeal. 
 Rented a casita at Mr Sanchós, this is a newer offering they have. I think there’s 4 of them. When we arrived we were escorted to a different check in area and taken over to our private casita. We were introduced to our servers and the manager gave us an introduction. These are very nice and quiet. Service is pretty amazing also so far.

Awesome!  How did you reserve the casita?  I didn't see it on their site.  I saw the couples romantic package for $260, but I think that is different.


 You have to email them for it. It’s not inexpensive at around $600. I think that covers up to 4 though. The one next to use has 15 or so people.

Starlink really hasn’t helped internet speeds. I blame all the people on the ship.

Wow, our only experience with Starlink was last November on the Breakaway. Ship was jam packed but our speeds were off the charts.

 Yeah it hasn’t been any better than the old internet so I’m assuming it’s just really busy.

Going back to the Monte Cristo...I seem to recall people saying it was only available for one day of each cruise. Did you ever see it on the menu before or after the day you got it? I've never had it but would hate to miss lunch in a MDR the one day they have it.

It was on day 2. I believe there’s only 2 lunch menus.

Looking forward to the derailment!!


I won’t make that public. The wife had to take a “nap” a bit ago. I’m hanging on but ordered one last green monster before we head back.

How is the food? I checked out the website for Mr. Sancho's and it looks pretty good. Seems a decent value, too, for all-inclusive food and beverages. I like how the site says "all you can eat" but "all you care to drink" (not all you CAN drink, LOL).
