To be honest I'm not sure but it's worth asking. I'm sure if you tell them it's your anniversary they might accommodate you. I really don't know how much their reservations fill up. We have had no problem making reservations for the CT.

So sorry Debbie this happened to Eric. I hope he recovers quickly. I always thought the Sacrum was called the "Tailbone." Wow so close. Too bad you couldn't stop there. Everyone who I know that has had Cuba as a port loved it. I think that would be the way to do it and so much fun. The Bourbon Trail is something I really want to do but you need time. With 37 distilleries, it's hard to pick just one favorite. Some are as close as eight miles and others are as far as 70 miles apart. That place looks incredible. How fun! Great news. I hope you have a fantastic cruise.

Spent the last two evenings with the representative from Rabbit Hole Distillery who was in town for some tastings. If you are not familiar with Rabbit Hole they make some incredible bourbon from Louisville KY. It's an interesting story in that their founder Kaveh Zamanianโs was a successful clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. He met his wife who was from Louisville and once he went to the city fell in love with bourbon. He decided to open his own distillery and produced his own bourbon have never done it before. He created several different recipes that were all different and were based on craft beer recipes. So on Wednesday night we had a tasing at my good friends retail liquor store in the area. The room was packed to hear Rabbit Hole's rep explain the history, each bottle and how unique it was. 4 flights to taste "Cavehill," "Heigold," "Dareringer," "Boxergrail." My favorite is the Dareringer which is aged in sherry casks. This is amazing. If you get a chance to try these I think you you will love them. They are unique and very good tasting. Then last night The Kansas City Whiskey Guild for which I'm a member hosted the rep with another tasting of the Rabbit Hole brand in a new bar downtown called "Society." We had custom cocktails using the different Rabbit Hole brands and did some fun socializing amongst everyone. The highlight was watching two of our members spend $125 for a flight tasting of all the Pappy Van Winkle line of bourbons. These are considered by some as the "Holy Grail" of bourbon. I was surprised that the Rip Van Winkle 10 year (the cheaper bottle) beat out the older year Pappy's. It was a great time sipping and talking bourbon by everyone. Cheers!

This is great news! Thank goodness she's ok. Glad you found her. I've never seen a cat that likes to ride in a car. Congrats to Owen on his good grades. I did not know that there was an actual size to Kraken. That's a big sea monster at a mile and a half. I prefer mine in a glass. Looks like a great time. Love the rainbow.

Having been on these boards for many years I can tell you that answers coming from here from cruisers with experience will be better than any customer service rep from Royal. -
I knew he wasnโt a good chef when one of the charter guests asked what other options there were for breakfast besides the one main. He said none. No yacht chef in their right mind would only have one option or course for a guest. I understand why Bravo would of hired him since heโs a great antagonist but I do not understand how in world he was able to work on other yachts. He should be a fry cook at Dennyโs.

I have purchased the UDP on our upcoming Symphony cruise. It states that "For ships with these venues, Teppanyaki/Izumi Hibachi is included, with a $10 surcharge." According to the menu, you will be able to pick 1 small plate (starters), pick 2 of the large plates (covers Rolls, sashimi and bowls and 1 dessert. This is what I received with the 3 night dining pkg on Explorer this past November. All this for an extra $10 is not bad. I was very full with plenty to eat. I think you will be fine and will enjoy it very much.
