I found it useful being Diamond on the Voyager of the Seas. The Diamond Lounge was a lot better than the café and we could easily get a seat in there. Also boarding was a lot easier.

That’s why I never ordered them again, they were ordered for 4:00 and when we went back to our cabin about 2:30 already there and seemed to have been out for a fair time, no way I was eating them, or ordering them again, usually just got a plate of dried fruit and nuts, nibbles on the balcony while getting ready for dinner.

NSWP Posted October 21, 2019 #4783 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Talking of canapes, the Princess canapes are not fit for a dog, awful things, Elites can get them delivered complimentary on Formal evenings, tried them once, Yuk. We do 2nd sitting dinner on Princess, so for pre dinner snacks with a vino I bring some cheese and stuff back from the buffet at lunch and put them in ye olde cabin fridge.

I take a couple of plastic containers with lids to keep the cheese and salami in the fridge. Although some cabin fridges are not too good. Sometimes we refer to them as the cool box. An ice bucket full of ice helps a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to have a couple of buckets of ice a day to keep the adult beverages cold. The plastic boxes are a good idea, thank you. Will take a couple on Majestic in Feb, don't want the salami stinking out the fridge. We generally take the sealable plastic bags with us so as I can store my GF crackers in them, either take the crackers from home or sometimes on the ships they give me a big box of them, then I pack them into the bags ant take one into the MDR for ye olde cheese plate as I am not really into desserts, except perhaps for some ice cream.

Embl Posted October 21, 2019 #4790 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Just wanted to let you know that I got my first Royal Up from RCI. Not sure I've had a win though. Had an inside Virtual Balcony on Deck 10 of Voyager and have now been 'upgraded' to an Oceanview on Deck 2. Hmmm! I guess at $150 pp for 14 days I should be smiling.

Aus Traveller Posted November 7, 2019 #4799 Share Posted November 7, 2019 All of these deals conflict with cruises we have already booked. Maybe the problem is that we have too many cruises booked. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
