That would have been easier and what I’ll do next time around. This time I was curious since so many appear to have the opinion it’s just glass. Sort of my little test to see if it was just glass or real leaded crystal. I knew enough not to put it in my checked luggage. That would have necessitated the TSA rummaging and routing around my dirty skivvies and who needs that?

For those who think they’re made of glass, they’re not. We just received our first block and I took it through security on our flight home. The x-ray machines don’t see through leaded crystal, and they had to remove the block because the x-ray wouldn’t penetrate it. We had this issue years ago when brining home pieces from the Waterford Crystal store in Ireland

I have not and will not read through every post. I will state our opinion as we exit Ovation of the Seas post 8 night Alaskan Cruise. die to illness, we had stayed away from cruising for 14 years. Our last cruise was the inaugural year on Oasis and we had to cancel our inaugural year cruising on Allure. That’s the time gap between experiences. food quality overall was poor for lunch and dinner. We always managed to have a good breakfast on the MDR but not so good the one time we tried Windjammer. My chicken parm at Jammies was overcooked and tough. That was a big disappoint. In the MDR we never could get refills on our sodas. They put brown gravy on the prime rib, which was so thin of a cut you could see light through it if you held it up. The grilled NY strip steak was as bad. Fortunately we were in a JS and could utilize Coastal Kitchen for a couple of dinners. That experience was more in line with what we recall the MDR to be. To be honest, it looked as if they were training a lot of first contract employees. That would explain the service. They were trying hard but just didn’t have the flow down yet. The food, however, was generally poor. There’s no excuse I can give them on this one. It’s pathetic they were contemplating charging for Sorrento’s. While edible I’d place it a step or two below Little Ceaser’s. we are Diamond level so we’ve been loyal to royal and will continue to be. We booked our next 7 night Canada cruise while onboard. Hopefully this was a one off experience. of. It we’ll begin planning our meals a little differently than we had in the past and lower our expectations

thank you. For the life of me I could not find this information on their web site.

It’s been more than a minute since we’ve cruised on Royal Caribbean. A lot has changed since our last cruise during Oasis’s inaugural year. Thanks to all the YouTube bloggers, I’ve found the answers to many of my questions with the exception of one, pricing for Izumi. I see I can reserves early as with Chops, Jamie’s Italian, Wonder, and Izumi, but Izumi’s online menu appears to be Ala Carte pricing. What’s covered by the reservation fee?
