  1. RC is not trying to sabotage its MDR to encourage more people to pay extra for food (which isn't any better than the MDR anyway).
  2. I'm going to guess you're not alone there. I think the new menus are trial balloons as much as anything else.
  3. If you order off the classic menu, you have to go out back and butcher it yourself and cook it on a wood fired pot belly stove.
  4. Remember its a test menu. It still remains to be seen if the classics are not available entirely or simply not listed on the menu.
  5. That's not correct at all. There are several food options available the minute you board.
  6. It's the European cruise market to the US cruise market. And sailing across the Atlantic is still pretty monumental since it's so rare.
  7. Both of those have been spotted in the MDR
  8. You can get rid of the gratuity at guest services if you think the service was crappy
  9. RC fans: The MDR stinks, the food isn't good and the menu is stale Also RC fans: How dare they change the MDR
  10. I don't think I've had more than an hour (not counting nighttime rain) combined on any cruise I've ever taken of bad weather. If only that luck translated to the casino
  11. Looks like they've added an Indian dish each night and tweaked a few of the other apps/entrees.
  12. Viable answer: They came back from an excursion right as their dinner window began and didn't have time to go to their rooms Smart ass answer: lobster night. He's planning on leftovers.
  13. It'll be like any other sale. Some will find deals, others won't
  14. Dinner on vacation on a ship is the location and occasion. Sounds like this affirms that shorts are just fine. I'm sure the dining room has a thin skin and won't hold a grudge.
  15. A waiter once asked me why I didn't want to order lobster. I didn't have the heart to tell him that there are many better things on the menu than a tiny flavorless tail that you have to drown in butter to get it down.
  16. I would expect a real muster emergency to be chaos whether people go down and have their setsail pass scanned or they go wait packed and sweating like sardines for a half hour.
  17. That will be a very, very unpopular change if that happens. Since when, in the case of a real emergency, would everyone report to their muster stations and calmly wait in line like the muster drill used to be? No one.
  18. Suite lounge drinks do not count against vouchers.
  19. Even among the 800 on that Princess ship none had it worse than a mild cold and many were asymptomatic.
  20. Half the people boarding could answer "yes" to that question for dozens of reasons. I live at a high elevation. When I go to sea level for a cruise, I always wake up with a sore throat and congestion.
