You can specify the time you want to dine for the first dinner, on 1st or 2nd night. I would suggest that you go to one of the Specialty restaurants as soon as you board to check on your Specialty restaurants reservations and change them to your liking (you can even change the first dinner).

Izumi (sushi side) is a la carte, with the Specialty package, you get a $30 credit. It was very good on the Anthem. The Izumi Hibachi was very good on the Harmony. I don't think you can go wrong.

I have not been to Sabor or Giovanni, you can check their menus on Royal's website.

We embarked and dis-embarked using Terminal B & C on our July 10 cruise out of Barcelona.

Thanks all. I can't figure out how to do it online - I went on the site, entered his info and it wouldn't let me do it. What am I missing out on? Am I losing something by waiting until Thursday when we board? If not, I'd just assume they do it at the port.

Here's how you do it:

1. Go to Royalcaribbean.com

2. Log into your C&A account

3. You will come to your C&A home page, showing your status, membership number and number of points

4. Within that information box, at the bottom, you should see "Enroll a Household Member", click on that and proceed

You can always register members of your household online even before they sail. In fact, DH will get the same C&A status as you.

If you carry on a bag with swimsuit and toiletries, then it shouldn't matter what time your luggage arrives.

Anyhow, Terminal B and C gangways are actually connected after checkin. And if you are in a suite or Diamond and above, I don't think RCI cares which terminal you go to check in.

However, on disembarkation, you must go to the terminal you are assigned to pick up your luggage.

Yes, there is separate checkin for Pinnacle and suite passengers in Terminal C. I expect the same in Terminal B.

You can board from either Terminal B or C. Terminal C was almost empty when we boarded our July cruise.

You can board from either terminal. If you are in AFT cabin, then go to terminal C. Terminal C is also not as busy.

Did Royal offer any specialty dining packages onboard?

Just curious if you were mostly north of Spain when you had the slowness?

We were sailing western Mediterranean. Speed (Surf package) around Barcelona and Marseille were around 2 Mbps and got worst as we sailed towards Italy. When we upgraded to Surf/Stream package on the last sea day (Naples to Barcelona), we got speed around 10 Mbps.

$25/person for lunch on Harmony. Sorry, didn't take menu picture.

We were on Harmony last month, since we had so many ports, we decided to sign up for the surf package, but we found the speed to be very slow, ok to read email or surf the web slowly, but even videos on Facebook would "start and stop" every 2-3 seconds. So, for our last day (sea day) we upgraded to surf+stream package, and the speed was much better.

BTW, you can share a package between devices, you just have to log off and log back on. Also, we were able to do FaceTime with the surf package.

No donut shop on Harmony. You can get donuts at Cafe Promenade.

Boarding in rome for western med cruise. When we dock in Barcelona what time can we leave the ship to tour Barcelona. Thx

The majority of the western Med cruisers embark/disembark at Barcelona, so it will be very busy that day. Disembarkation starts at 6:30 in the morning and you probably can get off at that time.

In addition, past performance is not a predictor of future situations.

 

 

 

If Harmony does not offer dining packages on board now, this does not mean that Harmony will not offer them in the future.

That's true, that's why I stated it was on Harmony. However, my experience with RCI is that they will try new things/ways on new ship and then roll them out to the rest of the fleet. RCI did offer some great prices on multi night specialty dining packages prior to embarkation.

RCI is discounting the top 2 beverage package only. All other packages are the same price when purchased onboard.

However, they did not offer any dining package for sale onboard the Harmony. So, if you are interested in the dining packages, purchase them ahead.

It's difficult to eat at Jamie's for lunch since it is only open for lunch on embarkation day and on sea days. That how it was on our just completed Mediterranean cruise on Harmony.

No Chef's Table in Harmony because there no where to host it! Chef's Table was best on the Allure. I will see if there is one on Oasis in November.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We were on the Harmony on July 10. 150 CP menu was $45 for a 3 course a la carte. I was told by the head chef that it was a decision by Michael Schwartz to change to the a la carte menu. This may spread to the other Oasis/Quantum class ships in the future.

We just came back from 7/10 sailing out of Barcelona. RCI did not offer any dining package for sale onboard.

For those who purchased a dining package online, go to any specialty restaurant (Chops or 150 were very quiet) on embarkation day and make all your reservations.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, the price is the same onboard. Better deal with multi night package. Wine paring is optional and extra cost even with dining package.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

150 Central Park menu is now a la carte. The only choice is whether you want wine paring or not. Of course you can still request more than one appetizer.

Jamie's is open for lunch on boarding day and sea days. The only other specialty restaurants open for lunch wereJohnny Rockets and Sabor. If you are interested in the specialty restaurants, buy the 3/4/5 night packages beforehand. They were not offered onboard on our 7/10 cruise.

This is something new I encountered in our just completed sailing on Harmony. Here is what happened:

We purchased a 3-night package before we sailed and also book two separate nights (because we wanted Wonderland and Izumi on certain nights and times, and we were afraid of not getting those time/night slots). As soon as I got onboard, I went to a specialty restaurant (Chops in our case) to check where we were dining the first night, once there,I was told by the hostess, that I could change the restaurant and time for all the package nights.

So, just select the time you want to dine on the first night, then go to any specialty restaurant immediately after you board to finalize all your dinning choices.

BTW, Royal was not selling any Dinning Packages onboard.

If you are on iPhone, iMessage works fine with Voom. If your party is on different platforms, try WeChat or Viber with Voom.

Casinos are still 1/2 & 1/2 on our last two RCI cruises. Being a non-smoker that's why I don't like hanging around the casino because there's really no way to keep the smoke out of the other 1/2.
