Just a few more comments.
🙄 The Elevator Incident:
I was getting off at 3rd deck to go to dinner. It wasn’t crowded but two women tried to get on before I got off. One pushed past me before I or anyone else got off. I was ticked off because she made enough physical contact to throw me off balance. She and her friend were very very large so anyone pushing back would have had extreme difficulty so I didn’t. I said could you please let me off first? She said “Well get off!” The kicker is she said that before anyone got off and she was on.😡
😉 The Unexpected passengers without sea pass cards:
I went down a ramp on the starboard side beside the FlowRider. The rope should have been my first clue...
My knees were aching so I decided to lift the rope and go through instead of going to port side. I didn’t see the maintenance staff at first but then I saw him waiving wildly then running (yes running on deck) towards me from behind the sports court yelling “It’s closed! It’s closed” I thought it was closed for Paint...
BUT the next thing I heard him yell (he’s still about 30 feet away from me) was...
”BEES!”
I turned and saw on the starboard rail, just past the ramp from FlowRider, the largest swarm of bees 🐝 I have ever seen (I’ve never seen one before). I was only 3 feet away. I backed up slowly and made the trek over to port side.🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
The Survey:
I continued to the part where they ask you to rate your ports and was perplexed about this one referring to your Sea days. I made the logical selection:

I ordered the ice and it helped with the pain during the night.
I tried the TRX class yesterday and it was great. I was doing a few of the exercises with my trainer and learned a few new exercises on it yesterday. My goal is to be as strong as possible going into surgery so that recovery goes a bit better this time.
Now the trick is to keep the food and drinking under control. I am now veering away from those wonderful frozen sugary fruity drinks to simple classics with low cal or no mixes. 🍸 Dinner portions have been huge and I am eating half of what they give me. We eat in the MDR with My Time Dining. I know food is subjective hearing some criticism on these boards, but we always eat there and have not been disappointed yet - this is our 6th cruise. I also have a severe lactose intolerance and the MDR is very accommodating.

I don’t have pics of the menus but if you download the app. I think they were posted at least a few weeks before the cruise. Not sure if the movies are posted there early. The movies are Black Panther, Jurassic Park, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Three Strangers, Solo a Star Wars Story, Won’t you be My Neighbor and some unnamed Autism Friendly movies and some unnamed Family Friendly movies.
The movies play in the Amber Theatre, the Aqua Theatre and the Adventure Ocean Theatre. I don’t see anything listed by the pools. Not sure if they do that on this ship/line.

If you think icing down at night would help (I had to do 2-3 times daily after my meniscus surgery), ask your room steward for a big bucket of ice and plastic bags - explain what you need it for so they understand. My steward brought a bucket similar to the ones you see staff taking to bars/food service and lots of towels and plastic bags. I sat outside and iced my knee frequently. Just thought that might help before bed.
Thanks I will definitely order ice.

Did the 7am stretch class (no fee). I had to do some modifications due to my knees but it was good. Going to try the TRX class at 8:30 ($20). I do TRX with my trainer at home so I will modify anything here that doesn’t agree with my range of motion. I’ll try to get in a quick workout before class. DH is running this morning. I love the encouragement signs on that track. There’s a great view from the back of the ship too. The gym is busy but lots of equipment is still available. I have an OA brace on one leg but wish I had brought my cane for my other one. I won’t be doing any stairs without it. Between the stairs and lots of walking yesterday, the one knee kept me awake a number of times last night.

I sailed shortly after meniscus surgery. Did not have to use stairs for muster drill. I checked with guest services and they told me to let staff know and I was allowed to ride elevator. Also did muster drill in a separate area with wheelchair passengers , people on crutches, etc.
Duly noted.

Just a quick live review. Double knee replacement in the near future.
Went through security at the port of Miami and they told me I had to scan my cane but unlike airport security they did not provide a wooden one. The security person had to hold my hand to walk through the scanner. This was fine but was worried about walking unassisted.
Muster: I was told I had to walk down the stairs as the elevators weren’t working. I said well everyone will be late because I’m very slow on stairs. The next floors’ attendants offered the elevators but I told them I was told they were not working. I walked down from 10 to 6 where the staff told me to use the elevator because it was just a drill and the elevators are working. My muster was on 4 in Studio B. Now I know for mext time.
Kindness: People have been very kind and move out of the path when they see me coming through with a cane - even on the elevators.

First Happy Thanksgiving to our USA Cruise Critic friends! Stay safe and enjoy.
Canada’s 106th Grey Cup football 🏈 final is this Sunday and broadcasting around 6pm EST in Canada. What are the chances it will be shown on RCI ships this Sunday?
We have Voom surf and stream so hopefully we can at least catch it on that but a bigger screen would be nice. 🇨🇦

They can make stuff at the bars which are not on the menus.
Not the guavarita as the ships have stopped carrying the guava mix for this drink.

How recent is that list? I see my favourite Margarita - Guava (Guavarita) on it but it was no longer available on my last cruise

“Oh I didn’t hear about this?
How long will it be down for? “
FYI
The app will no longer be working as of tomorrow. They are only going to have a mobile version. There’s a sticky or notice at the top of the Royal Caribbean discussions.
-
“Hope you can live without for a few days as CC is shutting down tomorrow morning.”
Biker, I just read up on it in the sticky. I don’t usually pay attention to them so thanks for the heads up.

Good grief the germophobe in me hates that machine. My trainer and his onboarding supervisor have tried several times to get me to use it at the gym but you have to stand on it barefoot to get an accurate reading [emoji15]
That being said have you done a gym tour on periscope or here?

All the cold wines come in them, downside is they condensation runs all over your desk
That’s not good. I can imagine the mess. They‘re actually meant for use outside on a patio or picnic. If you have time, let the hotel manager know, if not just note it on the survey.

Love that you did the community work in San Juan. We went early last December on Harmony. The devastation was heartbreaking. We have supported early relief efforts but would like to do more. Does Millie know where we can help? Thanks for posting these photos and taking time out to point to PR’s ongoing need.

Love the Ice Bag. Was that a gift from Royal? We first saw them in Cassis France and found they were made in the USA. Found a store in Cda that had them. They’re great.

Without quoting photos, was that a Grey Goose Luge or just a vodka cooling ice sculpture [emoji6]. BTW very much enjoying this review. We sailed Harmony last Dec 2nd and loved it.

Create your own drink at the bionic bar.
Also order a martini - shaken. A crowd usually gathers when the robots are shaking a drink like a martini.

Best martini on Allure
in Royal Caribbean International
Posted · Edited by Neeny12
We are classic vodka martini drinkers and the Trellis Bar, MDR bar and most bars on the ship do nice classic martinis 🍸
Bob,
We had martinis made by the robots on Harmony. They’re good but the key is to get the robots to shake them - it’s quite entertaining. Only downside is if it runs out of an ingredient (Grey Goose was out one night) then you had to order something else and hope it was restocked the next day. DH is an automation sales rep so it was fascinating for us.
