Gotcha. Hopefully @aring75 will let me know if they've got more than 8. 

We have a stop in Guadaloupe next year on our Emerald Circle Caribbean. At this point, only 8 excursions offered and none of them have very good reviews. And not a single Death in Paradise one. How many do you have to choose from on the Ruby?

Agree about the gratuities. I much prefer the Princess Plus program that includes drinks, wifi & gratuities (and now a bunch of other stuff). 

I'm fairly certain some of the bites and mains change. I remember DH being very happy with the Cobb Salad and it not being there every time. To be honest, I never noticed the "uncharge" items before.

This is the lunch menu for the MDR as posted in the app for today. 
Does it ever change? Or is it just a standard lunch menu for sea days. Seems like a pretty good selection. 

 

 

 

It does change which is so much better than HAL where the lunch menu is the same every day.

Sure! They usually post them outside of the entrance to the dining room, so for any night we don’t get to the MDR, I’ll still try to post the menu. 

Thanks so much. Enjoy the MDR tonight and Sabatini's tomorrow. We have dinner at Sabatini's booked twice next year, because we enjoyed it so much on the Sky in February.

Lunch and Dinner yesterday were in the MDR. We’ll eat there tonight too. Sabatini’s tomorrow night. Gotta try everything!

 

You know for research purposes. 

If you get a chance tomorrow can you snap a photo of the MDR dinner menu? Pretty sure it's the first "Formal" night. Thanks!

Thanks! 

Good morning! I wonder what Alternative Dining Demonstration is? Looks like a jam packed fun sea day for you. 👍

We watched Top Gun Maverick on the Sky Princess late at night. It was awesome!

And for you fellow Canadians..... that's about $75 for us. 

I haven't seen this posted here, apologies if it's old news. Got an email from HAL saying HIA is increasing to $55 per person per day on November 10.

Have an absolutely wonderful time!!

Loving everything about this so far! Thank you and keep it coming. 👍

So excited to follow along! We're on a true 14-day Circle Caribbean on the Emerald in February and we have a Deluxe Balcony on Caribe deck for the first time as well. Please please post pictures of the MDR daily dinner menus if you can. Have a wonderful cruise!!

Am I correct that Holland America ships dock at Puerta Maya in Cozumel?

Unfortunately they don’t open until 5pm. Any lunch spots?

We’re doing Bernard’s French & Dutch Tour that gives us 75 minutes in Marigot. Has anyone done this specific tour? If so… can you recommend a good French bistro/restaurant to eat lunch that’s close by?

Thanks for letting me know. 

@Crew News I see you've shared the Mariner's Lunch menu on you site. I don't remember you mentioning it on this thread, apologies if you have. Can you tell me when it was and if it was restricted to a certain "star" level?

I'm having the exact same problems @Host CJSKIDS

Great menu! This was while you were in Ensenada? 

Thanks so much!

Great photos! Was this your 2nd Gala dinner?

@Crew News eagerly waiting for pictures of the Fish & Beef Tenderloin Canaletto specials

Or maybe allow OBC to be used when making reservations before the cruise as some other lines allow.

And maybe recognize what their customers' Mariner status is and bill Specialty Dining accordingly when booked online.
