Years ago there was Sicilian chicken in the MDR. It was like the description that you found. Roasted chicken in a hearty sauce of olives, mushroom, eggplant, capers and a small amount of tomato. i enjoyed it enough to learn how to prepare it a home. If you like coq au vin, then you probably will like Sicilian chicken.

Do you think medical or travel insurance is necessary?
happy cruzer replied to Sigyn's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Thanks to all. Yep, I too think the devil is in the details. Do not like when people say "always get insurance" with no thought that insurance does not cover everything.... -

Viva Vino wine package still available on board?
happy cruzer replied to Serengeti228's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Any new lists for Viva Vino? -
Trying to determine how to protect against airline failures such as mechanical failure or no crew avalible. So far Cancel for any reason (i.e. at time of departure) or travellin days early seem to be only options?

Yep, I am thinking CFAR is the only coverage for the airline failure to provide service. -
Do you think medical or travel insurance is necessary?
happy cruzer replied to Sigyn's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Yes, we do self insure. However, since we just recently experienced trip delay on a return flight. I was trying to see if there was a way to mitigate the costs for a trip cancellation because due to the airline failure vs. weather event. Like I posted normally we mitigate by travelling days ahead, this time do not want to do so. So having to make that decision to self insure or ? -

Thanks. Who would cover the cost of the cruise, etc... that was missed. -

happy cruzer replied to Sigyn's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
So how would you cover airfare cancellation for mechanical failure or crew being unavailbable? In the past we always travelled days a head to cover that. But now looking at insuring it for various reasons, mainly that the costs to stay two days is going up and we just don't enjoy it. Our Credit Card covers weather, but not any thing else. So far it looks like Cancel for any reason may be the only option... -
TxTeach79's GLORY-OUS 3/12 Spring Break NOLA LIVE
happy cruzer replied to TxTeach79's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Great report! Just in case... Sea Bands work for nausea and for anxiety. Do a little googling you might want to try them - no side effects. -
Anyone else have experience with sharing the purchased dining credit? We have only eaten in one speciality - Ocean Blue. That time we did not have credits; we paid the a la carte prices. One of us ordered one salad and one entree. The other had one appetizer. We shared all the items. It was plenty of food. Server was professional and friendly. So would we not be able to do that using a dining credit? Could one use the credit and the other order a la carte? Thanks.

Carnival for Europe--will we regret it?
happy cruzer replied to elaine5's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Yes, the ship is a floating hotel but one that arrives and leaves at set times. There are no guarantees (a port can be totally missed) but making sure about time in port and distance to the site you want to visit will help determine what itinerary to choose as you and other experienced cruise travelers know. We are tending more to land travel to visit sites and cruises for vacation/relaxation. Have you decided? -
Tervis Tumblers for Red Frog & Blue Iguana
happy cruzer replied to Csoderlund's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Would love any updates on using the Tervis Tumblers. I did notice in one cruise review picture that there were tumblers on the shelf of the coffee spot on Celebration I think it was. Which made me wonder if buying them anywhere on the ship worked for getting the larger drinks and the regular prices?? Also wonder if you buy a non alcoholic drink would you get the larger size? Thanks. -
Name misspelled on Birth Certificate
happy cruzer replied to dallasdan's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Her name is what it is on the birth certificate. She will have to get a name change if she wants too. Until she changes her name, use her legal name... -
Back to the comment about wine availability, we too noticed that lack. So far carry on red wine has made the difference for us then supplement with the white wine by the glass and beer using Diamond vouchers. Wine by the glass is pretty poor on board most of the major lines. The difference is that other lines have wine bottle packages as well as beverage packages that work for those that drink mostly wine.

Tervis Tumblers for Red Frog & Blue Iguana
happy cruzer replied to Csoderlund's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
The tervis tumbler looks great. If they don't have those, do they have another souvenir glass (16 oz.) per the signs posted in the bars?? and thanks to the posters that report that you don't have to get the frozen drinks to get the 16 oz drink. Still wondering if it might work in all bars including Alchemy??? Dreaming of sitting on the balcony with a 16 oz beverage.... -
Favorite restaurants on Harmony of the Seas?
happy cruzer replied to Sigyn's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Any advice on how to use the UDP on Harmony? What to visit for lunch vs. dinner? What is an extra charge to the UDP? Also where there particular menu items that you enjoyed? Thanks in advance. -
$291 for Unlimited Dining Package - Too Expensive?
happy cruzer replied to mramella's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks for posting; it reminded me to look at the pricing for my sailing. The UDP was 225 plus grats which I booked and will watch for price drops. 291 plus grats is a bit much but you are going a new a ship so that might be the going price... -
Very interesting. I wonder what will be tweaked??

Carnival for Europe--will we regret it?
happy cruzer replied to elaine5's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
If you are chosing based on the itinerary be sure to look at the time in port as well. Others mention that tender ports mean alot of time spent tendering versus touring but the port time also matter. Some lines overnight in ports which can be great. Some lines get priority berths in ports vs. tendering. Small ships can visit more unusual ports. Some cities are quite a long commute for a port day and might be better for a starting or ending port. For example Rome with take alot of time to get to from Civitavecchio. As usual, the devil is in the details. -
Do the bars have a list of mocktails?
happy cruzer replied to kelbell's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Love mocktails. Just look at the regular menu of cocktails pick one you like and ask the waiter or bartender (when they are not swamped) whether it can be made as a mocktail or can they recommend something close. Else they do seem to have some listed in the app. I also ask that the syrup be cut in half so the drink is not so sweet. Mango Nojito is a fav. -
What seating did you have in the cabin on Ruby? We have been off of Princess since they only provide one desk chair as seating until your book a suite (did this change)? Sounds silly but we all have preferences. Good point about the dated ship decor on Ruby. It is fine with many but it you are used to RCL ships it would be very different.
