Also anyone know the cost in the dining room for one? Thank you enjoying your report. Also does anyone know the normal cost of sparkling water and water bottles? Trying to figure out if the beverage package would work for us. Costs are going to be the same in the dining room as in the bars. They just go to the nearest bar to get them. All of the frozen, or more complex drinks are $13. Here are some beer and other prices from the menus on the app. They do have more beers, but you get the idea of the general cost. Sodas (or pop) depending on where you are from I assume water is around the same as the juices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted October 26, 2021 Author #202 Share Posted October 26, 2021 And now for useful (or useless) thing #5 Surf speed test from the Solarium this morning. It has worked fine for uploading photos for this report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was just the cruise director’s intro. I understand there will be a TV crew onboard later this week to film the new show they are releasing. Do you know if the new show will be similar to Dream Cruises? My wife and I love that show but would love to see the new ships instead of re-runs.

Dream Cruises was on the AWE channel and filmed actually cruises and highlights of the ports. It was a great show for us cruise junkies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted October 26, 2021 Author #208 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Somewhat of a minor crisis when we returned to our cabin last night. We had a paper in the cabin, informing us that the snorkeling excursion we booked for Curaçao has been canceled. They tell us to go to shore excursions this morning and they will give us 15% off any other excursion for Curaçao. So the problem is, there is only one other snorkeling excursion, and it is at 9:45. But we had booked I-fly, the simulated sky diving for 9:00, and we wouldn’t have time to do it. Royal was very accommodating. They would give us 15% off the snorkeling excursion they still had, and would book us I-fly on a sea day and waive the $49/pp fee. I just hope this one lives up to the expectations we had for the other one. Maybe this is one of those life giving you lemons and lemonade things. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted October 26, 2021 Author #209 Share Posted October 26, 2021 So a little bit about the pool areas for this cruise. I haven’t seen them limiting capacity in the pools or hot tubs. The loungers in the Solarium and at the pool aren’t really spaced that far apart. There always seems to be plenty of open loungers in the Solarium. This is 1:00 on a sea day. I like the quiet in here. We walked past the outdoor pools on our way to El Loco Fresh. One of the outdoor pools at 12-12:30ish El Loco was good for a quick bite. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's related to what happened to mine last night. I had a two tank dive booked in Curacao when we're there in December and Royal canceled it last night citing operational issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I was surprised how many tuxes there were tonight. Maybe it is the slightly longer itinerary, or some were just ready. So this is just a photo from our cabin, and not a professional one. It may be a first for cruise critic, because this may be the first photo of me. 🤣🤣 Of course, I had to coordinate the mask with the tux. 😂 OMG...that is just so hauntingly cool!!

We checked out the photos we had taken last night. We did poses on the staircase, and at the Wonderland chair. Found one we liked. Will probably wait till after the next formal night to pick another. We get two free pictures. Maybe I can post some unmasked ones then. Susan looked stunning in her long black dress. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the Painkiller. This is what is in it This is one of my summer time standards. The recipe calls for 4 oz pineapple juice, 1 oz cream of coconut, 1 oz orange juice plus rum and fresh nutmeg. I fill a pitcher with a 46 oz can of pineapple juice, 12 oz OJ, and 12 oz cream of coconut and put it in the fridge. Whenever I want a painkiller I shake the pitcher and pour into a tall glass with ice along with about 3 oz of Pusser's rum. Add more or less rum to taste. Top with some fresh grated nutmeg. Very refreshing. Goes down way too easy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
