Thanks so much for the great advice!

@Crew News I am pretty sure you did this excursion so hopefully you, or anyone else, who's done it can tell me. When the bus takes you to Eagle Beach, where exactly do they drop you off? I've booked us a resort day pass and we have some HIA credit left, so if the drop-off spot is close enough to walk from, it could save me the price of a cab going there.

Loving the menus and food porn!

Loving your review so far, thank you!

Agree. Looking forward to sitting in a blissfully quiet bar without worrying about finding a seat early at the Happy Hour locations.

My guess is the with the Have It All option becoming more and more popular, the Pinnacle Grill doesn't have the availability for anything other than its regular bookings. So no more Rudi pop-ups and no more Gala Dinners.

Thanks so much for the great review and for the menus, etc. 👍

Anomalies, IMHO, are always welcome here. 🙂

Totally makes sense..... wait until we're in there and it'll be a piece of cake to get a reso. 🙂

Lovely photo @510picker! Those cocktails look delicious.

The second.🙂

@kazu I have been a part of this wonderful website since 2009. You were one of the very first people that I "connected" with here, and I have ALWAYS relied upon your helpful posts. I know that the last few years have been nothing but awful for you. The loss of two beloved dogs, a "step-dog" and your one true love, your husband Jose. And then when you finally get to cruise..... you get hurt before you can even get onboard. And yet..... here you are, always positive and always helpful. Jacqui, please know, that you are truly inspirational and truly loved, albeit from afar and through cyberspace. Nothing but respect for you girl.

Fingers (and toes 😆) crossed that this is a sign that they are going back to allowing us to pre-reserve the MDR?

Yep. Definitely know how to do that. But if you notice... it says "Book in the Main Dining Room" now, long before we board.

This is showing for all three of our upcoming cruises. Certainly looks like you should be able to pre-reserve MDR dining, right? 🙄

Our favorite balconies are on deck 4 aft (Koningsdam, Oosterdam, Westerdam, etc) and for our upcoming B2B2B, the Rotterdam. 😊

Sorry about the dry turkey.... but good to know about Costa Maya, thanks.

Thanks for letting me know about the Prime Rib & Coq Au Vin yesterday. Did you go to the MDR tonight?

Any chance you could post the MDR menu any way? 😇

Pretty sure the Lido is open for Late Night snack from 10:30-11:30pm each night. Here's Crew News' menus from earlier this year. https://rogerjett-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/7-Day-Late-Buffet.pdf

Wasn't Crab Bisque always on Rudi's Sel du Mer menu?

LOL. sorry but I can't help but laugh on the direction this thread has taken.

From the resounding response... I have ascertained that the Friday night special at the Canaletto past and current is not remarkable in any way. 😆

The Friday night special at the Canaletto on the Rotterdam is now Veal Florentine Cannelloni (used to be a Chicken Curry I think). Has anyone tried the Cannelloni?
