Song of Norway LIVE (March 19, 2020)

So glad that there appears to be so many entertainment options for you on this cruise, cards, socializing and just plain getting some sun.

[sg1phileshipper]

Hilarious! 😂 Thank you for taking us along on your cruise

[GetToLivin]

Oh hell yes.

I really appreciate that Royal Caribbean takes cares of their guess by providing ash trays and matchbooks for all the hundreds who will smoking.

 

That is wonderful news!  I love to be able to light up after dinner.  I admit, sometimes I prefer to smoke while the rest of my family has dessert, which I know won’t be an issue in this beautiful dining room!!

I can't wait to see the passenger list when the cruise is over.  It's always so much fun to review who has been sailing with me.

@Yorkvillain Do you have the same staff as my last cruise?

Hi, 

 

When I cruised on the Sun Viking, I enjoyed the various theme nights in the dining room. The waiters wore themed uniforms (for French Night, Italian Night, etc.). Also, the dining room was appropriately decorated for the theme each night with flags, crepe paper, etc. On some nights, the head waiter prepared Cherries Jubilee or Bananas Foster on a cart near our table. I'm sure that you will enjoy this on the Song of Norway.

 

Enjoy throwing the streamers when you depart from Miami.

 I saw the deck plans for the new Sovereign class that is coming out in a few years - what a Quantum failure that will be! They’ll never fill those behemoths.

 

I read a nasty rumor that they are going to be serving dinner in the BUFFET for the first time ever on a Royal Caribbean ship.  And that there is no table service and no set times! NO SET TIMES TO EAT.

Yup! Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same table. Royal Caribbean Cruise Line mailed us a poloroid of our waiter for all three meals. I can’t wait to meet him! I can’t pronounce his name though.

 

 

Early seating breakfast at 7:30; don't be late or it's fruit cocktail and coffee only for you upstairs 

[LMaxwell]

On Sea Days they have skeet shooting.  One of the very few things with any additional cost at all!

But, if not told when to eat, people who don't like making decisions could end up not eating all week.

Ah, the good old days of cruising before all the crowds got aboard.

Yes but you have to consider that the ships were around 20,000 grt.

The pool looks wonderful. We are so looking forward to sitting round it. Hope it will be nice and quiet, with nothing to distract us. Can you imagine how awful it would be if they started showing movies or the like?

 

I do worry sometimes about being cut off from all communication with the rest of the family. I do remember being on the Canberra and having to go up to the wireless room to speak to my fiancée on the radio. He sounded like Mickey Mouse. Was really funny having to wear headphones! But at least I can really relax until I get home.

I remember that one of the best things about cruising was the lack of communication with the outside world.  Ship to shore was $25 per minute.  Work did not call.

We had them on our first cruise. They were on the Island Princess

Maybe Host Bob can come out of retirement and pin this to the top. I'm sure this will go down in CC history 😂🤣

 

What is your itinerary for this sailing?

You all seem so good at explaining cruising; perhaps you could reassure me on one other thing.

Our tickets state that our dinner seating is at 5:30.  Breakfast is available 8-9:30am, and lunch noon-1:30.  It seems like a long time between dinner and breakfast, around twelve hours.  Do people take their own peanut butter and crackers onto the ship? If you take a bottle of milk, is there a place to keep it for the week?  I'm really apprehensive about being hungry.

Yeah where is that guy?!? He's a legend 

[A&L_Ont]

I hear grabbing your wood or driver on-board is a common, if not daily activity.  Are you going to drive your balls off the aft of the ship?

I did not Royal Caribbean allowed you to do that?

[LeDemonBlond]

Just wondering if there is a NON-Smoking area on the ship?
