On the previous cruise, the escargot was served on the last formal night. The pub lunch was held in the Da Vinci dining. There’s no smoking allowed in the aft area. It’s mid-forward, next to the upper bar above the pool. The Lotus pool was open.

I love to pair that with an adult milkshake, aka, the Dirty Banana.

That is absolutely correct.

The $50 is the minimum amount your spouse will receive if he books a cruise. The $100 in your payment section is the amount he’s receiving for the cruise he booked. BTW, if he books a cruise of 15 days or longer, he will receive a $250 credit.

We had a water leak in the ceiling of our cabin, right above the desk. It caused an electrical short, requiring us to vacate our room for several hours while it was being repaired. We weren’t offered any compensation, but I didn’t think we would be. I guess the compensation was that we weren’t electrocuted.

I was on the prior cruise and the afternoon tea was offered in the Da Vinci dining room. It was a very nice selection of sandwiches, cookies, little pastries, and the scones with jam and whipped cream.

I was on the same cruise. We had a standing reservation for four, in Da Vinci, at 6:40 pm, every evening. Most evenings we were seated by 7:00 pm. One evening it was almost 7:30. Our servers were just okay, until we found Anna at table 450. She was fantastic and the service was quick.

There was an 80’s night, and a Country and Western night. People didn’t really dress up though.

Happy to see someone got pictures for you. I did play the slots for a quick minute, but didn’t win anything.

I went to the spa today. I was told again that the showers, lockers, and steam room are only for guests having spa treatments. The sauna, thermal suite, and heated loungers are all in one room. You have to pay to use it. I asked if someone was just doing a workout in the gym if they could use the lockers and showers. I was told only if they not being used by passengers that were paying for treatments. They would not let me into that area at all. I guess they didn’t want me disturbing the other guests.

I didn’t get to see inside that area. I just asked the lady at the front desk. I asked her if there were any complimentary saunas or thermal suites and she said no. It is possible she didn’t understand, but I didn’t ask about showers.

@Yen Yen Please see the excellent response by sky night. You will definitely be in the new canal.

I went up to the spa today and checked for you. The spa was remodeled and they are charging now. The amount charged depends on the length of the cruise.

We are missing our stop in Panama tomorrow. Regardless of the reason, it’s still disappointing to only have three ports on a 15-day cruise.

A few pictures from today’s luncheon. The Captain was busy, so the Staff Captain filled in for him.

On the Royal last year, the suite breakfast was extended to the top three most traveled passengers. We were told an exception was made because the suites weren’t full.

I don’t think they did. I haven’t seen any crepes either. Today is the luncheon, so I will post some photos later.

Today’s patter. Hope it is readable.

I will try and ask for you.

I’ve been tossing them out, but I will post what I have later.

My understanding is that the water issue only affects the old canal. We’re going through the new canal, but I will post if there’s any problems.

@MissP22 I received the invitation today and it is the luncheon.
