loudbmw Posted August 6, 2019 #176 Share Posted August 6, 2019 1 hour ago, A&L_Ont said: John, I have a quick question for you. Can you check to see what time the flowrider wave opened on day one of this sailing? The hours are posted by sports desk near the wave. Thanks in advance. Flowrider opened at noon on day 1 on the Harmony. We had to fill out paper waivers as no one had their room keys. Then we had to take the biggie board “test” which took 10 seconds after waiting on the boogie board line. After the test you get your blue wrist band for stand up surfing. The line for standup at noon was very short and we got a ton of runs in before they closed at 3:00 pm for muster drill. The lines this week have been very short in the morning.

I’m going to wear my flow shorts onto the ship and have my rash guard shirt close at hand. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don'tNeedAName Posted August 6, 2019 #185 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Happy birthday! Always nice to spend it aboard. I know you're not one for the MDR, but if you happen to find yourself in the vicinity and could ask about the new vegan menu at the MDR, I'd be interested in seeing an example... hopefully options rotate same as the non-vegan options? Anyway, if I read the Cruise Critic article correctly, the new vegan menus are effective for all cruises after Aug 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneadsdough2cruise Posted August 6, 2019 #189 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Happy Birthday John....and to spend it at Izumi - even better! 😀 Could you please post a pic of the menu - trying to determine if my DS (who has an allergy to shellfish) would be able to find something to eat there. We have already noted her allergy with our genie but wanted to get a sneak peek. Anna said there was just a new menu released recently for Izumi and it did not include Hot Rocks.....? Just looking to verify. Thanks for the awesome review and have a great birthday. Edited August 6, 2019 by kneadsdough2cruise corrected wording!!

Any on deck 8 in central park? Also we have the deluxe drink package but would like to keep some diet coke cans in our cooler in the room without going to the trouble of bringing on a 12 pack and lugging it around. Is it possible to get a unopened can of coke at any of the bars? None in Central Park. Deck 5 in front of Sorrentos, both sides of Windjammer and by mini Bites deck 15 aft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of veg and ginger. No problem Arrived at CK a little early and told our server we had a special order. Ordered the lobster salad and shrimp cocktail as an app. Slightly different presentation than Oasis, really tiny lobster. Ate the flower. And then came the stir fry. We each got one. Hence the food coma.😉 No need for rice or noodles, so much veg. Peppers, onions, mushrooms, celery, asparagus, snow peas, and broccoli. Very spicy and piping hot. But I still got dessert Is Chef Henry the same CK Chef from the Oasis this past spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLP12 Posted August 7, 2019 #198 Share Posted August 7, 2019 We sail on Harmony on the 11th. Cabin 8266. I haven't heard anything yet regarding Royal Up bid. I bid on a Jr. Suite, but feeling doubtful that it's accepted. Looking forward to reading your review. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of outlets! On Oasis, we brought a power bar, so it looks like there is no need this time! I agree, the closets on Oasis were a bad design. Especially if you had the closet near the bed! Thanks for the review and pictures! I usually do 2 bucks per bag, or maybe 3 bucks for 2, when dropping off. If they help me during debarking, definitely more.
