102 now

Ok, so my girlfriend and I are booked on the Harmony of the Seas in august. Upon booking the option to select traditional dining was not available, so I'm assuming it's full. I've always done traditional dining and enjoyed meeting new people and having a set time, same table, and the same wait staff and what not.

 

Is there a chance that once aboard the ship we could possibly slide into a traditional dining slot? or are those chances slim to none? Also, for my time dining, are you seated in different sections every night with different staff? What are your experiences with MTD?

 

My girlfriend and I have discussed it a bit, and honestly we are a bit torn. We like the idea of an early dinner (6:30), but at the same time we definitely would enjoy soaking in the last bit of sunshine at 5:30 on the pool deck on some days, rather than going to get ready for dinner. So in that regard, MTD seems appealing. So we are a bit torn as to what to do...

We had the oposit "problem", wanting MTD, but was full so had to be put on 18:00 tradisional. Our Travel Agent just called RC customer service and a couple of hours later they had changed it to MTD. Might work the other way aswell. Can be a status on the homepage that is not updated or wrong.

I was hoping for Freeport. We are on the 4 day out of Lauderdale so can advise whats new and what they will still be working on. Bob

Looks like she is in Freeport now.

That may also mean no aerial show.

Is that good or bad?

What date does the work starts? cant remember.

That one looks like a slightly earlier verson (5-Nov-2015) than the one I posted (12-Nov-2015). So it looks like Izumi replaced Sabor on the first page during the week between those releases.

Yes, thought so. Just wanted to add another name to possible changes, hehe.

I found this one, which is not exactly what was posted above, but also does not mention Park Cafe:

On this one it mentions Sabor. Guess its not updated?

Yes.

Thank you,

Does it include the iced coffee and frappe on lattetudes aswell?

In 2014 we had a 11am flight back home. No problem if you use Barcelona El-prat airport. Had an 9am transfer from port to airport. If you need Girona airport then I wouldnt count on an early flight.

Did it on Liberty. My son who was 3yrs back then loved both the menu and the show. Got some great family pictures with Shrek and Fiona.

Is the room service menu all from same kitchen, or is it based on what kind of dining the ship offers?

ie burgers, sandwiches, fried chicken, etc. Im wondering since the Jewel will lose its SeaView and so far no info about park cafe.

We have a 5yrs old so one of us, we`re 11 ppl in total, will probably stay in the room when he goes to bed and late night snacks/food on the balcony will be required. Also looking forward to queit balcony breakfasts. :)

Its good for sailing July 17th with Jewel from Rome aswell. discount on Ultimate, Premium and Select.

Thanks for the review.

any words aboard about the upcoming refurbishing and what they gonna get?

Here in Norway we had a weekend in january with 50% off on outside or higher on everyone in it for Jewel or Vison in July.

Booked 4 balcony for 11 persons (3 kids) and saved almost $3000 on prices from the week before.

My niese is turning 8 too in july while we`re on Jewel of the seas. Gonna follow this thread and look for options for her. Was thinking of buying the decoration but since lots of posters here recommand not I might have to reconsider and find something else. Cake it will be anyway :)

I think you're dealing with a mis-programmed website.

 

Wait until you are onboard to purchase the internet. If you are a C&A member, you can get a discount by purchasing onboard, as opposed to pre-cruise. It does not take long to puchase onboard, you don't have to wait in line, you just use your own device to sign up.

Is it any discount (at all) for GOLD member aswell, or just for the higher ranks?

What is normal amount to tip the delivery of room service?

thanks. amazing video, looks like a really rough ride.

We were on January 10-17 and the Seaview Cafe seemed to be a Wok restaurant serving Asian food. We didn't investigate further, but didn't notice anything being complimentary. It seemed to be a for-a-fee dining option.

Does it have a solarium cafe/pizzeria now? And what kind of food does they serve in the solarium on jewel?

How long before the drydock date does Royal normally release their plan for changes, if they ever do before the ship is done?

You can order cocktails or a glas of whiskey thru room service?

Boarding normally starts between 11am and 11:30am. Staterooms ready around 1pm.

2nd time in a week you give me a quick reply with just the answer I needed, Clarea. :)

Thank you very much.

Hello.

We are spending a couple of days in Rome before before the cruise and will order private transfer to the port.

Was wondering when is it normal to start letting people onboard and when is the rooms normally ready? We have a normal balcony cabin.

The ship leaves at 17:00 from Civitevecchia Port. (05:00pm)

Tried to search the forum, but couldnt find a direct answer for it.

Right now, you can go to the Solarium, where they serve pizza slices. Not sure if that will change to Park Cafe after dry dock, but either way, it should still have the pizza.

Thanks, Clarea.

Looking forward to see final upgrades on Jewel.
