Colorado Coasty

7:15 seems like the perfect dining time. We can go to the P/E lounge, enjoy a cocktail, and then leisurely go to dinner.

Makes me feel like my printer is low on ink.

Newbie here... When would I expect confirmation emails for my dining reservation requests? My cruise is not until Christmas, with online check-in at the end of September. I did put in requests for a couple of specialty dining venues, including the steakhouse. I have not received any emails. Does that happen after the online check-in period? TIA.

Usually get a reply within a week, even months out from the cruise.

After years of "sea showers", I still feel guilty taking a "hotel shower" while on a cruise.

I also get a kick out of all the self proclaimed experts.

Thanks as good to know. That has us starting to rethink staying in a full suite. We really like breakfast in Sabatini's as don't like the HC for breakfast. If we can have breakfast there every morning, and CC dining at night, it's sounding better.

 

Anyone have comments on the breakfast? I don't expect Sabatini's, but would assume it's from a menu and cooked to order?

We enjoyed CC breakfast just as much as Sabatini's. The only real difference was no mimosa( which we rarely drink).

I can only remember two CDs, one because he was really good and the other because he was really bad. But neither one really made a difference.

It's often veal, and they can be minging with filling your wine glass up

 

Both minuses for us, we have stopped attending

Translation please.

We enjoyed chef's table on the Regal. The food was excellent and the wine plentiful. The table is beautiful.

Wow

I consider Club Class to be like buying a car. You can pay $18,000 or $80,000, it just depends on what you are comfortable with and can afford. Like buying a car, you must shop for the best deal.

We have had a Club Class mini and a suite with Club Class dining and loved it.

In San Francisco you can go to City Hall & get an ID right on the spot.

.... and no questions asked!

On our Connoisseur tour this past August the seats were assigned and all faced forward with airline type drop down trays. It was very comfortable.

Yes, the new cars are very comfortable.

Agree with kdkcruiser. If you're concerned with noise from Club Fusion, try to snag a mini on the starboard side, The Club Fusion stage, which is where any live entertainment will be positioned, is on the port side. We've never experienced any noise.

Emerald deck minis are the best cabins on the ship. We have never heard a sound on the port side.

Just wanted to add that this was last year before the drink menu change.

Could someone tell me where the elite lounge is on this ship? I am used to it in Skywalkers nightclub on other ships but that doesn't exist on this ship. Is it still held from 5-7 pm each evening? Is there the usual featured appetizer each evening & drink specials? Thanks.

It was held in the back corner of the Wheelhouse Bar. Everything was the same as usual.

We were also on Island post dry dock and ate breakfast every morning in Sabatinis:D

We did also,

It takes less time to stop and smile, then be mad about it. Once I learned I didn't have to buy them, I let them take them. But the photographers in the restaurant are like the waitress who stops by to ask how things are when your mouth is full of food. And you cant blurt out that the water you asked for 20 minutes ago hasn't been delivered. Why show up when your mouth is full? So you cant say no.

If you stop and smile, why would you then be mad about it?:confused:

For those who have made requests to partake in the Chef's Table dinner, when did you find out if the request was accepted or not? We like to plan ahead for things and are just wondering when we will know if we will indeed be doing the Chef's table or not!

Always get confirmation within 2 - 10 days.

I fully realize that my answer was simplistic, but didn't want to get into the asymptotic aspect of fluid mixtures.

 

Funny thing, but as I stated, there is no cross-communication between cabins in regards to air, and with the overpressure built into the cabin, even when you open your passageway door, the air flows out, not in, so not sure how you are getting other people's scents or smoke into your cabin. And, in fact, opening the balcony door will force more air from the passageways, with the attendant other people's scents into your cabin. But oh, well.

Stop confusing me with the facts, I'll believe what I want to believe.:confused:

Fine art?????????????

If you're worried about the original drink with sugar/calories, consider drinking lower or no sugar ootions like rum and diet coke or vodka and diet tonic or Soda water. And bring those sugar free flavor drops to change it up, like Dasani or Crystal Lite. They have all sorts of flavors like pineapple Coconut or Mango peach or such so you get the tropical cocktail flavors with zero sugar or calories.

Have yet to find diet tonic on any ship.

Right on, Seabum - you know your stuff.

Three Sheets to the Wind - a ship caught with three sails (sheets) to the wind would wallow and stagger like a drunk.

Bung.....bung....got to think about that one. Oh yeah, a plug used to the stop a leak in the hull.

OK Chief, who keeps the keys to the sea chest?

Unfortunately, in our current PC world, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I will never forget seeing a guy knock over a glass of red wine on the tablecloth of our large shared table 10 minutes after dinner had started. We had to all sit there through dinner with this huge ugly red lake in the middle of the table. Such a waste. That is my opinion of table cloths.

Yes, I hate to waste wine.

At the risk of being attacked by the "serial thread killers", the towels in full suites and club class minis are great.
