  1. I enjoy a frozen strawberry Margareta- virgin. Also with this package, while you get bottled water, not the same as you get with the delux drink package. Also, my experience no canned soda- from the tap.
  2. Same on the Adventure of the Seas last May. Our Jr. suite was horrible- our coffee pot needed a long extension cord as no outlet nearby. The room was very tattered and rusty. Needs dry dock asap.
  3. We always try each one at least once. The only expection is sushi on five as that doesn't appeal to us nor does the Porch-too much seafood for my DH. Our favorite is the Lawn club grill, followed by Murano, Tuscan and try the Petite chef at least once. We always take a package, even though we are in a suite.
  4. I definately wouldn't try again. Room IMO seems smaller as it appears narrow. I would definately get an aft balcony which is still a true balcony or a cove balcony towards the front. While not a fully exposed balcony, at least you have fresh air when you want it, and the price is right. Now the royal new ship the Icon will have infinite balconies in some rooms. Reminds me of the huge rocking chair idea on the edge class ships, they were removed as they were a failure, but not easy to remove an ifinite balcony!
  5. Think you mean "backtier" but times no good need to arrive by late afternoon..
  6. tried looking at the yellow planes- but they don't fly from Ft Lauderdale to Orlando- possibly the train . Might have to drive ourselves. But wouldn't enjoy that. Thanks for your help . Uber probably outrageous, if I could even find a driver willing to go.
  7. Great posting! We will be on the Silhouette for the third time in January. A great ship. Have fun.
  8. Hi, My husband and I will be sailing out of Port Everglades in January and meeting family in Disney World. We do not want to rent a car to drive to Disney. We ideally would like a car/van service. Any suggestions that might be cost effective to travel? We will be sailing on a Celebrity cruise ship. We will bring three piecs of luggage and a carry on. Thanks.
  9. Having sailed AQ, now suites, IMO the AQ isn't worth it. We didn't use the spa more then once. Too small and stuffy- if only a couple of sea days, we wouldn't use on port days also. And the other perks not great. Whle Blu is more like a regular restaurant vs. a banquet hall, the tables for two on top of each other- like a long row of tables with maybe a foot in-between. The cabin "amenities" not worth it IMO. If not in a suite, will take a regular balcony cabin with UDP.
  10. We also like the UDP for dinners and typically take those on the Oasis class ships.
  11. The older ships have breakfast in Specialty restaurants- having dined in both costal kitchen on Oasis ships, and spec. restaurants on older ships, IMO Costal Kitchen so much better. We were never impressed by the spec. restaurant breakfast. We now only try to sail on Oasis class ships. Looking foward to the Icon of the Seas and that ship will have various suite dining options.
  12. Thanks for sharing- We will be on the Oasis this August from New Jersey. Have sailed on her previously. Love the ship. We also have stayed and enjoyed the EB hotel- beautiful when sailing from Miami. However not much to do in Miami springs. Great for one day/night. Now in Ft. Lauderdale, we stay at the Riverside Hotel on Los Olas Blvd. Wonderful hotel and location!
  13. We liked grease. Pretty good for a cruise ship imo.
  14. We will stay on this side of the pond for now. What about a good land tour? While I love cruising, sometimes you can get a great deal for a seasoned tour company.
  15. Never used their hotels- but checked rates and better on your own- You can search for the best deal.
  16. Agree- no Cats for me! Saw on B'way and didn't like it- the movie was a true stinker.
  17. Wow my DH would be upset if he couldn't have his bacon and hash browns daily. He doesn't eat eggs or much else. I "assume?" the MDR served these items. Not a fan of the voyager ships. Much prefer the Oasis class ships. We also notice on cruises over the last few months people crowd into elevators. I still wear a mask in the crowded elevators- not only for covid, but for other airborne illnesses. Thanks for sharing.
  18. Saw kinky boots and sweeny todd on broadway. Both excellent shows. However some people might not think good shows for the general audience of kids through seniors. Old musicals might work best.
  19. We prefer the Oasis Class ships. The layouts IMO especially the promenade are much better.
  20. I would definitely Uber or Lyft. After a cruise, and getting up early, who wants to sit on a big bus for hours.
  21. We have very different taste regarding broadway shows!
