I think that was when there was just the one line / stand now that there are 2 lines, one for with reservations and one for without its impossible to bypass a line 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikki keeps saying that if it ever comes back to the aquatheatre she will enter just so she can dive in and do a lap around the pool. Swimming in the aquatheatre pool is on her bucketlist 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they offer made to order eggs?? Yes, much less crowded, and made to order eggs and omelets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the case anymore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 26, 2022 Author #213 Share Posted August 26, 2022 - Wipe out cafe also serves iced tea in the morning. Won’t find it at park cafe or windjammer! - didn’t get my wash and fold bag this week. 🤔Thought it might come on day 6 instead of 5. The 8 nights has me confused. Had to check the D+ Benefits in case I missed that it went away…..it has not….. - caught the rising tide mid-flight yesterday! Also caught one the passengers trying to kidnap “Ted” from the car….. 😂 -towel animals getting smaller…… maybe Origami animals are next…..using day old cruise compasses….that would be awesome! -new shot of the day glasses! 💕 just purged and donated a good portion of my early collection. But these are pretty! -missed getting my roast beef sandwich today… 😐 Park Cafe not open for lunch in Labadee….. - solarium bistro has a similar breakfast to Wipe Out in the morning. The app calls it brunch, but pretty much the same stuff. There were smoothies and granola parfaits and a few more “brunch” type items. But it’s definitely more crowded, probably because so many people who are Solarium bound for the day find it more convenient than the Jammer or Wipe Out. Lines can get long, there’s also made to order omelets and eggs but the seating is so spread out there that they will have a hard time finding you. Meaning cold eggs. Also no iced tea. 😜 can you tell I’m #TEAM Wipeoutcafe, all the way? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 27, 2022 Author #217 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Last nights dinner was at Giovanni’s….kind of a disappointment….😕 but to be fair, I think I confused the menus and expected Jamie’s Italian….husband doesn’t care much for Italian, so usually theses restaurants are out for us when we cruise. And, I didn’t check the menu when I booked the dining package…. Went off memory, which in this situation did not serve me well! 🤦🏼♀️ the plank….. what I was expecting …… what we got…… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 27, 2022 Author #219 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Pastas they were just ok….pastas were all over cooked in my opinion ….. but to be fair I was in Rome in May so my standards are high Risotto tasted no different then the meal in the MDR….

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. - always try and book the aqua show the first night on board. Depending on sea conditions it gets cancelled more often later in the week. At least that’s my observation and it’s hard to rebook if you already have other things planned. this show is pretty amazing on every oasis class ship. Seen it countless times and it never gets old. - I wish you could book entertainment before you board. At reduced capacity, it was easy to book at your leisure after you boarded. Now, not so much. - I miss the paper compass. Trying to read from the app off your phone in the sun is nearly impossible . We’re on the same cruise and we get a paper copy every night. Maybe ask your stateroom attendant to put one in your cabin each evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted August 27, 2022 Author #222 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Desserts were the highlight, unless you were looking forward to the gelato….they didn’t have any 🤨 waiter said they didn’t have the ingredients for it, so they were just serving ice cream…. At least he was honest, because after spending 10 days in Italy and Greece earlier this year, I would have called them out on it! There is a big difference…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider yourself warned 😲 this is around 7 pm, which I assume is prime time for those who think 5:15 is too early and 8:15 is too late . we arrived about 10 minutes late because we were taking some photos along the way, and when we got there they had seated someone else at our early dining table. our waiter saw us leaving and quickly found us another spot in his section, and apologized profusely. we were late, so I wasn’t upset about it, but just to note they might be giving your table away if now if you are not prompt! This is why I won't ever do MTD LOL. We experienced it just once on Anthem and it was a disaster. Days 1 and 2 we waited 30 min even with reservation. Day 3, 40 min and we were walking away when a headwaiter saw our frustration and viola, we had the same table, on time, for the next 4 nights. Even with traditional dining not being the best time, I'll take it over the MTD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
