I agree with both of these opposing comments, but I usually order omelets or other eggs at the MDR because they seem to be a little warmer by the time they reach the table. There's nothing worse than butter not melting on your toast, pancakes or French toast.

Most breakfast items I like are really not very good in the MDR. Not because they are not prepared properly but because they are usually cold by the time it makes it to the table. It's just the nature of breakfast items such as toast, pancakes or French Toast. They get cold fast. I really love the cinnamon rolls from the bread basket.

One interesting conflict is that some of the shuttles from the local hotels and other places only offer one or two times to go to the ship. The poor schmucks that get there early because they are forced to due to their shuttle times will be required to wait in a queue if it's enforced.

They used to hand it out in the early days to Crown & Anchor folks. (Any level) but after that it was hit and miss and then gone. Glad to see you get it in Honolulu!!

We love the Hale Koa too but we haven't been there since before they built the second tower. Sallie and I married in Honolulu in 1989 on Pale. We did see the Hale Koa when we attended a Luau there on our Hawaii cruise in 2017. We stayed at a Hilton property however due to Hilton points that I had built up before retirement.

I wonder if your answer would come from the roll call thread for your cruise. Try this link

Yabba Dabba Doo! Thanks for the review!!

Thanks for the live review!!

Did you try the pork wings? I've heard they are amazing.

That's True!!! Our very first 7-day cruise was an inside cabin for $2600 ...

I agree with Russ Lomas' point that the drinks have probably gone up higher than wages in general have gone up. 🙂

I agree. Sometimes pricing is close and even inverted at times.

Bummer

Agree

Like this one?

LOL Late 90's - 1996 was our first cruise.... They used to have the drinks of the day for $1.99 and Screwdrivers and Bloody Marys were also $1.99 every day all day.

LOL You are right. While I seldom saw anyone swirling their spaghetti on a spoon when I lived in Italy, I did see it occasionally. Perhaps I saw your grandfather? 😁

I lived in Italy for two years and very seldom saw anyone use a spoon for swirling.

Prices are sky high on the Wonder right now.

The other nice perk for concierge is the embarkation day lunch in the MDR. Very relaxing away from the crowds.

LMAO too!! I'm thinking maybe @Ipeeinthepools also breaks the cardinal rule and pees in the no-peeing section of the pool!!! 😄

Comment on Concierge value: I think the price difference is a major factor to consider. While it may not seem like you get a lot more in Concierge, the pricing can be very close depending on the cruise. We only cruised concierge once, but it was because (probably due to the automated algorithm of the website) the Concierge was less expensive than a Veranda. It always pays to check the price of Concierge even when looking at Verandas. We see them close to the same price many times when doing mock bookings.

Yeah, but unfortunately the $1.99 drink of the day is long gone... How I pine for those!!

Maybe the OP was looking for an excuse to buy a new color printer? In that case, we should say yes, you need to print in color.

Don't they sell buckets on the ships that have Playmakers?
