No. Embarkation day, all days available and sell out fast

wow sure is different than Anthem back in Oct where you had to go on each morning to get the free ones.

But in the end I booked the paid and each time Northstar broke, or we had weather.  

I mean I did Anthem twice in 2016, but last fall after a whole week of trying, I never got on the Northstar.

 

Sure hope things are better for Quantum in late August.  I hope they are having more than 4 people inside.  I would hate to have another cruise with NO Northstar.  Even in 2019 on Ovation I got up 5 times mostly standby.    oh well perhaps the good old days are over for this popular but often down for maintenance or weather.   

 

have a nice trip

Following along, thinking about book AK for an August cruise.

Hi Bonsai!

 

Per my prior post, the Noodle Shop/Splash Away Cafe is not open on this cruise. If it were open, the menu has been “Americanized” for the US market.

5. I see on the deck plans in the esplanade area (Deck 5) that there is a Japanese Pharmacy. No idea what that even is. Do you know what's there for these cruises?

Royal has not updated their deck plans since the ship was upgraded after leaving the Chinese market. The “Japanese Pharmacy” is now a photo studio. The “Golden Room” and “VIP Casino” is now the music hall.

The Golden Room is the Diamond Lounge, not the Music Hall.  The "cage" from the Golden Room is still in the Diamond Lounge.

Are milkshakes available anywhere onboard? My first RCI cruise was on Navigator, where I discovered that the Refreshment package included milkshakes from Johnny Rockets. 
 

Not a deal breaker, of course, since there will no doubt be plenty of equally decadent options available.

BirdTravels  Thank you so much for your posts! We are going in Sept and we are so excited. It was great to see the Menus and Compass.  We always enjoy cruising and we suffering from Cruise withdrawal.   lol

A family cruise with the kiddos? But really need some mommy and daddy time? Make sure to register with Adventure Ocean and let the kiddos hang with kids their own age. There are 700+ kids on this cruise.
