I booked a junior suite for the room, as we usually get mini suites when we sail on Princess. Royal’s balcony cabins are bigger than Princess’s, and one would have worked, but I wanted the hump. I hope I can get him into Coastal Kitchen and that he’ll be happy with the food, at least a couple of times. Filet night is nice, that's day 1. Day 5 is lamb/lobster.

He does too, but he’s really a fan of lamb maybe if I get him there the first night for the filet and he likes it, he’ll keep coming back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also tiger shrimp, chicken parmigiana, and pork tacos. You have to go. CK lamb/lobster is day 6, formal night But that order may change if you are doing a western run. Our trip had two sea days st the end Edited August 11, 2019 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to miss any of the good stuff. Love shellfish and beef. Good chicken Parm is on my list, too. On Serenade last year I asked why they dropped the savoury rolls. To my surprise I had a plate full at my place every night after that. Any kind of roll on a cruise ship is heavenly to me.

I have that, and one that just says Royal. If I click on that I get the crown and anchor with water behind it. Then it is gone again. Maybe no good on shore or maybe old and just dead.

I thought Pinnacles sailed in insides. 😉😂 3 hours ago, John&LaLa said: Did facial recognition as you entered luggage hall. Passport much better than birth certificate now. 😉 Grabbed luggage and walked out. Got a cab and headed home. $20 + $3 tip A few questions John. Did they do separate lines for US and Non-US lines or just one line for all? If I read it tight they do facial recognition like in Terminal A in Miami? Did you see a Global Entry line? Would a porter still expedite the process like in the years of past? Thanks John for taking the time to bring us along. Give Bella a chin rub for me.

We loved Hideaway Heist. I wish they sold Big Daddy's Hideaway Resort beach towels in the souvenir shop. It would have been a great memory at the pool. So cute! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerme1 Posted August 11, 2019 #440 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Another thank you here! We're set for Dec 1st sailing and your review has done nothing to dampen our spirits and we are looking forward to many things on that cruise. I find it hard to believe but I'm excited that Coco Cay is our last day. Really looking forward to it as it seems the enhancements they've made are top notch. Between your great wit, cruise pics and most importantly your dog pics you're easy to follow. Appreciate you taking the time to answer questions along the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what my response was going to be, but I wanted to read through to the end first. So, how much stuff did you pack into those two little pieces of luggage? Yes, I know one was a little bigger, but still . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btregoning Posted August 12, 2019 #447 Share Posted August 12, 2019 John, Thanks for the nice review. We will be on the HOS on 9/22 and I enjoyed reading about your trip. My hope is for a good day on Coco Cay. That is the main reason we booked this itinerary. We have done St. Thomas and St. Maarten multiple times, but DH wanted to see Coco Cay. I am hoping for a beautiful day in our cabana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A literal elevator pitch meeting. Say is spinning guy a permanent fixture in the 1887 show? He was announced as a special guest and didn’t seem to fix in exactly with the show.

I’m travelling on a Canadian passport and was sent through the same line as the Americans. Facial recognition worked for 4 (all nexus holders) but not for the 1 non-nexus holder. I barely broke my stride between scanning the sea pass on exit and arriving at the Uber pickup spot. Very efficient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
