Thank you. You cruise like we do. Good food and drink, lots of drink! Good call on the Tums, I always forget and that acid reflux kicks in like a ***** after a few days.

Possibly the French just gave up. 😂

I think we paid about $65 per day (prebooked) on a 7 day on Symphony a month or so ago. Made out like bandits. Would have been way more of we had paid as we go.

Yes, shooters (and espressos) were.

We were on the cruise the week prior (April 16-23). 2 adults and 3 teens. Everyone enjoyed themselves. My daughter (15) loves rock climbing and proceeded to crush the opposition on the rock wall every day. We typically don't enjoy the shows and don't attend, however having heard about Hiro we booked seats immediately on boarding and it met our raised expectations. Really a good experience. When cruising with the kids, we don't usually get the drinks package, but this time decided to. Glad we did, as I think we both easily surpassed the break even point, with myself averaging 15 drinks a day. I availed myself of the double expressos in the Cafe Promenade a couple of times a day, with the remainder being either beer or mixed drinks. After a day it turned out that the habanero grapefruit daiquiri was the go-to for the remainder of the cruise. We also enjoyed the oyster shooters in Hooked. MDR and WJ food was, I must say, pretty average. Nothing really stood out. Just filled a hole in the stomach before moving on for the day. Servers (and all staff in general) were amazing however. Its been our first cruise since Covid and the last couple of cruises prior to Covid were both on Carnival and I have to say from what I recall, the Carnival MDR food was better. Now this may be the couple of years of Covid having an impact, and we have not cruised Carnival after Covid so tough to make a comparison. Just an observation. YMMV. All in all we were satisfied with the experience, but is has made us want to try Norwegian to see what else is out there.
