Express Man Posted April 30, 2013 #26 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Saw no blow dryers, Just brought our own. Also, Ice buckets in rooms are small.. If you call room service they will bring a larger bucket good for chilling a few soft drinks at a time. We used that along with soft pack cooler we brough to keep drinks chilled good.

I didn't see any blow dryers in the room. I also brought my own. I agree ... the ice buckets were very small. It would only hold 1 or 2 cans of soda or a bottle of wine :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerovick Posted April 30, 2013 #32 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I just used one of the buckets from my bucket o beer. Be advised, they do leak so put a towel under it. The room stewart will keep it full of ice if you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisegirl6 Posted April 30, 2013 #33 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Does anybody have a copy of the fun times for the first day, we need to know where and what time can we see the Maitre D so that we can request a private dining table in the dining room.

bobsfamily Posted May 1, 2013 #34 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Does anybody have a copy of the fun times for the first day, we need to know where and what time can we see the Maitre D so that we can request a private dining table in the dining room. Generally it is around 1:30-2pm at one of the dining rooms (not both) and you can ask at check-in. If you are talking about a table for 2 they are limited, Platinum have "preferred" status and Diamond have guaranteed status for requesting a particular type of table. I've gone about 15 minutes before and still was the 3rd or 4th in line. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC Cruisin Posted May 1, 2013 Author #35 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Day 3 Nassau We got up around 7:00am this day. Went to the buffet for breakfast and afterwards we went to the top deck to watch the ship come into the port. We were at this port from 9am to 8pm. Backing into the port near other ships.

Cruise Envy Posted May 1, 2013 #42 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Loving your review! Question, if you have time... was early dining held in both dining rooms? If not, which one had the traditional seating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not being unsocialable but this trip is more about being with my other half and her. Completely understand! It's just me and the wife now (kids out at college, etc.) and we enjoy the time alone at dinner. I have been successful the last 2 cruises to get a "2 top" table. Just wanted you to know that quite a few others are wanting the same. A table for 4 will be easier to get. In fact you can request one by a window for more privacy. Have a wonderful trip, we plan to have fun soon! And OP, great review! (sorry about the slight hi-jack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
