Flowrider

 

I guess the cooler weather is keeping the throngs away from the Flowrider.

The average age of the guests on board is 67. That and the weather would be the greatest deterrents I'm sure [emoji4]

Hmmm....I think a couple of other folks on TAs mentioned that the internet got worse the further west they went. Those ping numbers are worse than on ships without O3B.

Amanda - I spoke with a member of the cruise director staff and he informed me that all the staff on board are very excited for the chartered cruise in a couple weeks. Of course they aren't given out any details for privacy reasons but there is a very positive vibe about the ship.

Thank you so much!! Can you tell me if there is a Brasserie 30 and Cupcake Cupboard onboard? And any chance I can get pics?

Love following along! I'll be sailing on Indy for a 14 night Med cruise next July, our very first RCCL cruise! Really excited about it! :)

Brasserie 30 is just the name for lunch in the MDR. It's not a separate venue.

They have both. I'll try and make it to Brasserie 30 for lunch tomorrow and take a photo.

JAMROCK Reggae Cruise November 14

When Indy was cruising the Med, the Cupcake Cupboard was renamed Pieminister. The store instead of focusing on cupcakes it mainly sold pies made by a company called 'Pieminister' with cupcakes and Izumi Express selling on the side.

 

Looks like it has turned back to a Cupcake Cupboard for the US which makes perfect sense.

Thank you so much for doing this and for posting the compasses and menus, extremely helpful since current ones for this ship have not been posted. Looking forward to following along. Have a wonderful cruise

Daily internet test. Are the photo sizes ok? I'm posting them from my phone and it's hard to tell if they are the right size.

Just a note on the wifi - I have the slower package without the stream, and I have been able to FaceTime with family at home without any problems.

Photo sizes look good to me. Thanks!

Good to know thanks! Is it worth lunch in there?

I'd go at least once and see for yourself. Here are some typical menus:
