Chops used to be really good. Last few times we did our BOGO there it was really mediocre. Service and ambiance was nice. Steak - meh..... I cook better myself. Usually don't do Italian because I am Italian and why? However, we did Jamie's on the Anthem for a BOGO and was pleasantly surprised. The service was great but the ambiance - meh.....

OK - Asian Carriers. Will be doing Singapore Airlines in Premium Economy to SIN from EWR. Using Chase Sapphire points. What Asian Carrier can I use my United Mileage Plus award on?

Haven't done the Beyond (2026) but have done the Apex and Edge. We've done an obstructed balcony (can actually sit outside of your room), which we loved and an inside. Had no issues with not being in a suite. The only thing is that we weren't able to eat in Luminae. No big loss with the other specialty restaurants that we did. Friends who had done a suite were really not that impressed for the price.

Pre Covid - years ago - we did the pizza thing up at the Lawn Club. It was very much hands on and we had a lot of fun. The pizza was so-so but the rest of the meal was great.

You missed a step before 1) Leave the pre-salted steak out in your refrigerator a few days to age.

There are now some UBER/LYFT drivers that offer car seats. It may take a few pokes around to see if they have two. You can reserve rides ahead of time. What are you using for the plane ride? My daughters use CARES - Child Aviation Restraint System - for their 3 and 5 year olds. You could possibly use that for the car ride.

When we were on the Anthem in February, they were pretty strict about using the BOGO on nights 1 and 2. We did Chops the first night and Jamie's the second night. I would have preferred later in the week as the menu's the first two nights are usually pretty good.

As am I....I logged in on my Dell Laptop and my iPhone.

We've done Bonaire Cruisers (who rent the golf carts) several times. A lot of fun!! On the south route - do stop at Foodie's for lunch. They book out quickly so if that's what you want to do - don't wait.

We did the very last balcony on the 9th deck on the Allure right above the Aqua Theatre. On a whim. We could see the ocean. We could see the rehearsals for the Aqua show from our balcony. We could watch the wall climbers. We listened to the staff at Johnny Rockets do impromptu shows down below. We could people watch. It wasn't too noisy at night. During the day it could be, but we were also out and about. Would I book it again? No. It was a LONG WALK from the elevators. I certainly got my steps in on that cruise. If it were that or an inside.....I probably would book it again....! 🙂

Absolutely make reservations for Eden....several times!! It was that good. Also, the Eden cafe did nice breakfasts and lunches. Loved the restaurant concept. Enjoyed the different themed offerings. Make sure you see the shows in the Club. Get there early as seating is limited.

We have plans to stay three or four nights in Singapore. We are IHG credit card people so we have hotel points and will stay in Clarke Quay. I am excited about the hawker centers. We just figure after such a long flight it would be to our benefit to relax at the Changi airport before we hit the ground. P.S. On your recommendations - I have already downloaded Grab!

Do tell about this Royal Pasta Day Promo.... I could definitely be on board about this!!!! We plan on using at least one of our BOGO's on Jamie's on the Anthem in a few weeks.

We are doing the Millie in 2025 and will book one overnight at the airport as we get off and then head to Singapore proper before our cruise. Everything I've read about it makes me excited to stay overnight!

No real formal nights. Button down and slacks are fine. Airline luggage weight restrictions killed formal nights.
