Was it a bit warm and humid there?  Thought that could be a problem when I saw that on Harmony in that location. 

Not, as I recall, completely enclosed in the evening.

Really?  That's great!  Guess I need to try 150 again.  🤗  Thanks!  🙂 

 

Now if they will just bring back those interesting flavored salts.  😄 

The salts were my favorite.  I have a feeling that they were somehow "associated" with Michael Schwartz, b/c they disappeared when he did....so maybe they were trademarked or something similar.  I do miss them though.  Rarely go into 150 anymore these days.  I think the new menu is awful.

I like the new corn and scallops appetizer 

The last time we ate in 150 CP (February) the scallops were the size of Tums and had the texture of shoe leather. Never again - bring back the deconstructed tuna tartare.

It was fine because they brought in a portable AC unit. Not sure if they do that on every ship.

They were seared (to within an inch of spontaneous combustion). We absolutely told the waiter, and his response was that is the way they are prepared. Then he brought out the chef who insisted that they were prepared properly.  

 

Properly prepared sea scallops (and these were only the size of bay scallops) only take 1-2 minutes/side in a medium hot pan with a bit of olive oil to get the proper sear and then rest for 1-2 minutes to finish. These were overcooked and undersized - They didn't rest - they died.

On the world cruise, everyone will be at least D+😉

Maybe not so true for all, all those points won't be added until the cruise ends.

Royal will award points and levels thru out the voyage according to their FAQ.

 

If you were actually joining us, you'd know these things

That's nice of them. Where is the FAQ for your cruise? Who knows maybe we hit the lottery before then and join you.
