Hearing some ships are only approving certain taxis/excursions out of port and only ship sponsored beach excursions to Mahahual. What was your experience?

What was your experience? We did not get off the ship. I have heard nothing like what you say EXCEPT excursions for unvaxed which must be bubble excursions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try to do both, but if I was only going to do one, it would be dinner. The lunch options are primarily the stir fry bowls similar to Mongolian Wok/Jiji's and Cucina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tackled my second Shaq's chicken sandwich today. Now I SHOULD hit a rowing machine or something to build my appetite back for Rudi's at 5:30 (but a midday nap in a chilly room will win out)! 😁 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shaq Attack grilled with one of the honey coated chicken breakfast biscuits will check off the boxes nicely. So Tom, have you chilled in your hot tub at night with the in wall fireplace lit?

I’m booked on one in February and would love an idea of what the view is like. Here is one. I think the higher decks would be best. It seems to be a nice sweeping view. There aren't many available so booking early is a must. I didn't know this ahead of time, but the bed and closet area alternate like the balconies. The sofa is always by the balcony. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've sat out and enjoyed the balcony each evening - with the "fireplace". I tried to embed a video previously, but it was likely too large a file (didn't work). So, I'll just place a link HERE. We will usually go out there after coming back to the cabin in the evening (this ship causes us to stay up too late, lol). We've even fallen asleep in the daybed two nights enjoying the stars and breeze -- ahhhh !! Tom 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! I have 10469 booked for February. Mine is just a balcony room instead of a suite so I wonder if the layout is any different? I’m not really a fan of the room layout but I like the balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be trying out the new breakfast places (Shaq and Guys). Is Cucina the same menu as MDR and smokehouse a smaller version of Lido? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaq's, Java Blue and Guy 's are sandwiches, except for the 3 cheese pre-made omelette at Shaq's. Blue Iguana is burritos and smokehouse is mini buffet. Omelette stations should be at Cucina and multiple locations at buffet, just need Jimbo to verify. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted August 11, 2021 #395 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hey Jimbo, have you noticed the power going off? It's happened at least three times usually a couple minutes during each event before it resets. Twice in the middle of the night it occurred, and that will wake you up especially when the light comes on in the room as a result of the outage. It also resets your AC settings to middle of the road, as opposed to icebox, like is generally preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was my wife, she had said I set it too cold. Last night it was after we had just gone to bed. That cannot be a good thing….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They start with the furthest aft section of the Marketplace to direct traffic back to two omelet stations next to each other and to the rest of the breakfast grub at two identical service islands and then when those start getting overrun they open an identical service area closer to midship which I assume has two more omelet stations (they were setting up as we left but hadn’t opened the shades yet so I can only assume everything is exactly the same as that seems to be the point and the MO).
