Our favorite as well.  Our servers learn pretty quickly to bring more to our table since they are almost immediately gone from the first couple of baskets that are set at the table.  Personally my favorite was the onion roll.  R.I.P. onion roll, I miss you

 

ETA I never got the hype of the savory bites.  Looked and tasted like something that got found in the back of the oven after too long.

They are only left over bagels , cut into pieces

I enjoy Wonderland, but would like to see them switch up the menu occasionally as the whole point of the experience is "novelty" which is lost after you've done it a couple of times.  

 

In general I don't think RCCL refreshes their menu's as much as they should.  There is clearly a very committed and installed repeat customer base. I think they would further entrench that base if they kept things "fresh", at least at the specialty restaurants.

 

Look at the response to some of the new things on the Icon - none of these are radical departures but the slightly new offerings draw enormous response.  For example, very little in the Aquadome market is completely "new" - the sandwich station offers a slight variation of things seen in the Park Cafe and Café Promenade, the Mac&Chesse and Asian stations are repackaged Windjammer offerings and the crepe station has existed in the Windjammer at select times. 

 

I'd like to see more of this type of "innovation" from RCCL.

Totally agree!!!

Did enjoy all the starters, different and tasty but….. main courses ( only 2) very disappointing 😕

Never got a Block or pin for any level ! We are now Diamond Plus and I DO get 5 drinks /day, just saying👍

We’ll be on the Symphony of the Seas end of May , is the Zip-Line complimentary?

What they call gratuities is their wage, they do not get paid extra out of the gratuities you pay. We have had some cabin stewards and waiters better than others but none bad. I just wonder if some of the people that take it off would be fine with not getting paid for their job because they didnt smile enough. 

Really? No paycheck? Just tips, I find that hard to believe!

We just cruised on Anthem 24-31MARCH24.  We were allowed to use our C&A benefit to get one(1) shake each.  We were told we had to pay full price for every shake after that.  We explained we had the deluxe drink package and the crew member was adamant about shakes not being included in the drink package.   Disappointing as my family are huge JR shake fans.

Just checked on the RCCL website and it clearly states Johnny Rocket shakes ARE included in the Deluxe Drink Pkg!

I am also checking in and New Hampshire is not on the list either (app or website). I left it blank.

I used “ not applicable “ when NJ didn’t come up and it went through

Royal's IT staff has just outdid themselves. I did  a check-in for our upcoming Symphony cruise in May. I used the drop-down menu for state and guess what, New Jersey was missing, along with all states starting with "New". I guess geography is not their strong suit either. So I used Nevada just to complete the process. There's no cross checking between zip and state so I got through.

A few years ago we purchased a portable safe that has a long wire like handle that you hook to your lounge chairs at pool and/or beach. It worked great , felt confident to go into water.It was big enough for phones, wallet , earbuds. Take it now every time!!

We booked a GTY balcony (obstructed view)for New Years 2024/25 and were assigned a cabin already, a regular,non-obstructed view, still can’t figure out why but I’m not complaining or asking!btw the ship is the Odydessy

Considering the unlimited dining package for our next cruise. Saw it was 35% off, but couldn't select it for some reason. Then it was 25% off.

Question is does it get any better than 35%?

Just got 40% for the Symphony’s 5/24/24 cruise

Sounds like a plan. Did you make dinner plans around your reserved show times? or vice versa?

Made reservations for dinner first(prime times go fast)Didn’t have any problems with the shows!

Last year on the Anthem we had the UDP and yes ,could only make reservations once on board, when you embark go to any of the Specialty Restaurants and there you can make all your reservations (lunch and dinner)for the times you want. We had them all written down beforehand.

Does diamond + still get a discount on the deluxe drink pkg?

Anyone know ,can you drive right to the garage or do you have to get on the “line”?

NO

Ignore that ***** Pattak! He's obviously a troll trying to drum up trouble. ...and he calls "us" rude?

You’re right but I hate when ***** like that disrespect our state

I don’t care.  Quality of people coming out of NJ/NY makes for an unpleasant trip.   Too often rude and overly aggressive.   I won’t consider those sailings any longer.  

Good,and you are from where ,that makes you so much better than us “rude and aggressive people from New Jersey?

I always keep a tray from room service and use it for the length of our cruise!

Leigh Xurbe(spelling) was CD on the Explorer with Irky from Turkey!

They are giving a 100% refund (including refunding taxes, fees, and cruise planner purchases).

 

On top of that they are giving a free cruise. If you take the free cruise you need to pay the port fees and taxes for that cruise. Not for the cruise that was canceled. 

Thank you for the clarification 

Maybe I’m misunderstanding,but why would you have to pay taxes and port fees for a cruise that THEY cancelled!

We are Pinnacle and still buy the package. With specialty coffees, mimosas for breakfast, etc.  we more than break even.   Even having the 6 drinks per day per person, I would never cruise without buying the package.  I go through at least 10 bottles of water a day alone.  Hubby drinks at least 4 specialty coffees.  And when we cruise, we like our drinks.  The package allows me to get a new beer if mine is warm, or to try something and if I don't like it, no big deal.  We don't do specialty dining (not worth it to us), excursions, suites (again, not worth it to us), etc., so the cost of the package is just part of our cruise.

 

 

Right there with you on that explanation,only we are Diamond +
