Nice shot of the horizon, Ron!

🙈

They have to-go cups for coffee. nothing wrong with taking coffee outside. We never had a problem taking the last free drink we had ordered out with us upon leaving either (pre-vouchers). My morning routine is to fill a travel mug with a couple cappuccinos (using the paper to-go cups to pour of course) and be on my way.

We had a tour booked with Rony in 2019 but sadly high winds prevented Harmony from docking in Roatan. He was amazing to deal with while setting up our tour beforehand. My wife (a teacher) had even filled a very large duffel bag with school supplies she gathered from her school as a donation. We were going to stop by a local school as part of the tour. Fortunately, we were able to make arrangements with RC to leave the bag onboard for Harmony to deliver a few weeks later. We are very much looking forward to next summer when Roatan returns as part of an itinerary out of PC on Wonder so we can try again.

Thanks for the food review! Glad to hear Giovanni’s is still as we remember it. You ordered almost exactly what we do as well.

I sincerely hope our wives never meet in a DL. She basically went there for the choc covered strawberries while I was getting my free drinks and random snacks (pre-vouchers).

Screw the water, thanks for the cookie porn! 👍

I don't know about always, but my TA had a lower price than the website for every single cruise out of PC for this July (some were only slightly lower)... and a significantly lower price for the short Indy cruises which is partially why I booked those.

Yes, you select one.

Tell the bartender you want those drinks as part of your package, not your Diamond vouchers. If a mistake is made, guest services or the Diamond Lounge concierge will fix it for you.

I will not be bringing fruit to a bartender! But if you see a short woman with 12 & 8 year-old girls carrying bananas, that will be my wife and nieces. 😁

No worries, I've seen pictures, I just wanted to see another one. 🤣 Any other food-related highlights from Indy?

Personal preference. I can make an appointment for any day of the week for a free test at one of several Walgreens within 10 mins of me. Of course home testing seems very convenient as well.

My wife doesn't really drink so the prospect of turning any frozen drink into even more of a smoothy with a tiny bit of alcohol (or not) got her excited. Would be good for virgin drinks for kids too.

I hadn't used one in a very long time but a recent acquaintance of my wife's is one so we had her check some prices for the heck of it. Some were only a tiny bit lower than what I found myself but others were significantly cheaper so we used her for our B2B on Independence in July. I'd say get a quote from a TA then decide. Nothing to lose.

NAAT is a Rapid PCR test. Results in under 2 hours. I know one Walgreens near me doesn't have weekend testing but several do.

Someone who was on Harmony recently said the suite deck bartender suggested that she bring him fresh fruit (like a banana) from WJ and he'll toss that into the blender.

Curious why you left out Walgreens, especially near us. Still tons of appointments by me, even same day or next day.

Lava flow! 😋

Calling the Crown & Anchor # as soon as they opened here in the US worked for me recently. Not sure if that's helpful to UK residents but figured I'd share.

We do early MDR on family cruises (wife's parents like to eat early and have 2 young nieces) and it works for us b/c it leaves plenty of time to go to WJ after for more dinner/dessert. 😋

Love seeing WJ Dinner fans. Glad you enjoyed it! I feel we're in the minority. Looking forward to the cook to order stations on my 5/29 cruise.

Enjoy dinner (and tell us about it)!

Most people doing it at a facility (as opposed to at home) use the Rapid NAAT at Walgreens. Results e-mailed to you in 2 hours or less. Perfectly acceptable to RC.

No worries whatsoever.
