I am assuming he meant fleet wide. We will see Given how independently ships seem to operate I am thinking he meant Mariner. Who knows. They need to improve the app yhfn.

coaster Posted August 21, 2022 #81 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Just shared this on another live Allure post... Just a suggestion... Vintages has a large selection of tapas. Ordered one back in May for around $18 for 5 or more different tapas and it was huge! Could easily feed 4 people. Took most back to our cabin. Only food option we paid extra for and thought it was well worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JupiterTwo Posted August 21, 2022 #82 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I wonder... is it safe to assume that everybody has a smartphone that run the app, or will their be people who for one reason or another don't have the capability to read a virtual-only Cruise Compass?

Not all of cruise travels have smart phones and second some of us lock ours in the safe when we board. I am not addicted to my phone and don't want to be forced to depend on it.

Rare perfect match Posted August 22, 2022 #84 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Thanks @niksmom630 for doing this live review! I’m enjoying following along with you. We’re on Harmony in a couple of weeks, so this will be a good warm up! 🛳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted August 22, 2022 Author #85 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Dinner at 150 was outstanding. We tried it for the first time on symphony in March, and frankly I’m sorry I waited this long! beef short rib appetizer scallops appetizer pumpkin soup, kind of a surprise, it didn’t taste very pumpkin-y as I was expecting. lobster Thermidore and beef tenderloin entrees 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 22, 2022 Author #90 Share Posted August 22, 2022 You will also need to be up early to get a chair in the solarium. 8:45 am- only one section open, top level , to the right of the bar area …. Had maybe ten chairs open…… then a guy walked up and proceeded to set out his belongings across the 6 remaining chairs in this area…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you like the Cucumber Martini? the lobster was amazing. Probably one of the best meals I’ve had on a ship. if you are on symphony in a few weeks and make it to 150CP, ask for Ben from Tunisia as your waiter. He’s awesome and will make your dining experience that much better. Our waiter was really the only low light of the evening. He was efficient enough, just not very personable. and yes, the martini was worthy of all the hype! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aubreyc1988 Posted August 22, 2022 #98 Share Posted August 22, 2022 22 hours ago, niksmom630 said: Random thoughts and info….. - there are around 5900 pax on board. As of 3:30 pm yesterday, 500 still hadn’t done the muster check in. This new process is SOOOO much less painless than in the past. Maybe when people are boarding they should immediately direct them to their station to check in. Just saying 🤷🏼♀️ It’s the first thing we do when we board. On NCL (Well at least as recent as March on NCL) once you step onto the ship, you are directed straight to your muster station, can't do anything until you do that. Granted it was more like a "Look around the space and sign your name here" but yeah, lots of crew around asking to make sure you have done your muster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK why this is, but when I SEE someone do this, it irks me more than the people I do not physically see doing it (like the people who did what he did before I got there). I feel like I have to at least try to even the playing field for other people even though I have a chair I am sitting in. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
