My wife uses a scooter so I want to be sure of the process. Thanks for your review and help. Actually technically, we did enter the terminal. We had to go down the gangplank aft and then just went back up the forward gangplank. At this port, the terminal is on the same level more or less as deck 4. In Baltimore, they may have you to all the way down. Its barely a minute walk, but it took five because they had to take everyone’s photos Edited September 29, 2022 by Rogueperson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another_Critic Posted September 29, 2022 #180 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I'm getting a quick refresher of Adventure from my daughter. Helipad, D lounge, etc. Today's pizza = American Combo. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted September 29, 2022 Author #181 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I can’t speak for other ships, or maybe even other cruises. But our b2b lunch was the same as the Key Lunch. Menu and location. They say its a Chops menu, but its not exactly. If i was presented with this menu without my last cruise experience with the UDP, Inwould have gotten the filet. But I’m done with steaks for a while. I got the burger. I was told that THIS burger is not the same as the burger at Chops. They told me that this one was frozen and could not do it rare, as opposed the the lunch burger at Chops I got on Saturday which I could. It also tasted nothing alike. The one at Chops is far superior. The Shrimp cocktail was the same as well as the mushroom soup. Just a different bowl though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted September 29, 2022 Author #182 Share Posted September 29, 2022 @KATHYMAC68 One more thing you should be aware of. We were explicitly told that we did not have to check into muster station as staying in the same room, we would be automatically checked off. The app kept dinging me to do so. So to be safe we did. The muster guy said that was wrong and that we did have to check in. If anyone has done a b2b and has experience of what happens, let us know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted September 29, 2022 Author #183 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Something we don’t see often. According to my friend, this is the HMS Queen Elizabeth parked in the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding was always that since they are two separate cruises, muster must be completed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a b2b on EN in April and a staff member told us the same, but we checked in anyway. Not sure where they get the idea you don't have to check in as each is a separate cruise and is treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wifi shut off at about 9am. Theres a nice setup. And my view. Customs was east. We walked in, showed out passports to two customs officials. Thats it. They just checked out vaccination cards. And giving a quick demonstration of the life jacket . On an odd note, as we were walking here. My wife drew my attention to a plate on the ground. She goes “who eats the centers out of cucumbers” You didn’t have to get off the ship and back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After waiting for 0 passenger count, we were escorted out the forward gangplank. Walked over and back onto the aft gangplank on 4. We are now checked in and boarded for the next leg. Really easy. I was anxious for nothing. The time is 5 minutes but we all had to get our photo taken again when we dinged. @KATHYMAC68 They really take care of everything. If you’re staying in the same room, you don’t even have to rescan your pass at your muster station, thats automatically done. Thank you for the info! Sounds so easy. Unfortunately I have to move down 4 rooms. 6650 to 6642. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyandjerry Posted September 30, 2022 #191 Share Posted September 30, 2022 @RoguepersonThanks ever so much for the info! We are leaving tomorrow for our first leg cruise. Nervous about crowds, experience, etc. Other cruises we took this year were not at capacity and we were spoiled! Thrilled that we don't have to test for Canada. @KATHYMAC68You are a lovely, polite person. Wish we were on the same sailing so we could meet. Blessed cruise to you and hubby! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rogueperson Posted September 30, 2022 Author #194 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I can already tell that the demographics on this cruise is way different than last leg. I was told that there are 3000 people onboard. Thats almost 100% i think. 3114 is max double occupancy. I heard less than 20 kids. 1st dinner in the MDR. Menu i had my signature escargot. Forgot the pic. Will get tomorrow. Also got the Antipasti Mushroom soup I already posted but surprisingly, I found it the best in the MDR. Normally on this menu, I would get the prime rib but i am so over steak right now. The downside of the UDP. I’ve got the Jerk Pork Chop before was sorely disappointed. So i chose the “Southern” Fried Chicken. It was passable. And Key Lime pie. I missed the MDR. There’s something soothing about having the same set of wait staff. Also. Successfully used 7 free drinks so far today on the Diamond benefit. I may get one more, but i’m more than happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted September 30, 2022 Author #195 Share Posted September 30, 2022 8 drinks on turnaround day!!! I’m drunk now. Here is day 2 cruise compass. and now i’m done for the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted September 30, 2022 #196 Share Posted September 30, 2022 A really interesting and informative live report. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. We are joining the Adventure on 27th October for a fortnight so this has been really useful. First flight since covid and first time back on Royal for a few years too. Also just few days short of Diamond so we pass that milestone this time, but need to wait until our Celebrity cruise next Feb to benefit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATHYMAC68 Posted September 30, 2022 #197 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Have you been to the Solarium? Is that a pool you can use since the weather is chilly? I see 60 degrees for today on the cruise compass. Is it at least warm in there to just sit out and relax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike some other ships, the Solarium on Voyager class ships have an open ceiling. To me, that’s comfortable. But pool activities might not be feasible with the lower temperatures. What it does protect you from is the wind since it’s enclosed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
