Thanks, mdgary, for taking the time to share your cruise with the rest of us. We are on the August 10th 14 day repositioning (along, apparently, with several others monitoring this thread), so we are paying close attention. The patters and menus are especially appreciated Sounds like the dining has not wowed you so far. Please let us know if that improves over the rest of the cruise. Also, please let us know if you decide to try out any of the specialty restaurants—Rudy’s, Crown Grille, Sabatini’s, etc.
