It was a nice surprise to come back from dinner and find this very nice gesture from the F&B manager.

They’re certainly attempting to makeup for the first night dining snafus.  Are things getting better in the MDR?

following your review on Voyager back to back .We were on this ship when it returned to Boston from Copenhagen Sept 18 As I look at your pictures it looks like they have some different touches with regard to art work, just wondering if they changed some of the slots in the casino. I found them not so good  lots of penny machines  no quarters . This is the first time it is back in the states after being away for 11 years.  Thanks for the reviews and pictures enjoy the rest of the cruise hope it is not getting to rough as this storm passes. We are on the  Anthem Nov 20 for Thanksgiving not sure how our ports will be .

Last night was actually perfect. We actually got our entire order and our drinks! The guys at the R bar say hi!

[Td6462]

A pipe burst on deck 8 today. It shutdown all of the seating area in the R bar. All of the water was draining down through the decks.

We were posting at the same time.  That stinks.  I hope it’s not shut for the rest of the cruise.  Did you hear if there was any other damage?

Yes, I was just about to.  
@Td6462 I found an unpleasant souvenir on Tuesday, positive Covid test for me, just cold symptoms.  Andy is fine and still negative.  

[Td6462]

We had a great time on our excursion today!  We did the kayaking and snorkeling in St. Lucia.

Thanks for letting me know.  I think we expected it may happen.  We have tested positive after each sailing this year. General cold symptoms each time.  There are lots and lots of people hacking on this cruise now that we are on day 5.

@Coralc I brought my underwater camera with me today.  The photos will have to wait for edits after we get home next week.

I am looking forward to seeing them! 😀Wow. I'm glad it wasn't much worse than a cold.

I'm not a casino guy but I'll try to take a look and report back. 

[Momof3gurlz]

I’m really enjoying your photos and it looks like you’re having great weather this week.  I’ll be curious to hear which of this weeks islands was your favorite.

"During the 2 hours I ran around the basically empty ship and took photos of everything I thought would be interesting. "

That is so me.

We were lucky to have the repo cruise the week before to decompress and "get ready". I don't think we would have done it otherwise.  Definitely a packed week! 

[Td6462]

Today was Barbados.  We did a catamaran snorkeling tour. It was fun but I don't think I would do it again. Only a small amount to see under the sea. We did see a turtle.

I took a look this evening and I didn't see any $.25 slots. Only .01, .02 & .05 slot machines.

One thing I noticed last week and it happened again this week. 

The other Royal Caribbean cruises we've been on the luggage tags come the night before departure (day 7). On this ship they distribute them on day six. 

It feels like we're being rushed off the ship and brings a sense of early closure to the vacation experience. 

Maybe no big deal but it seems premature. 

[Td6462]

I purposely chose not to include any MDR photos as most following already know what the food looks like and nothing was different this week.

I have been on 4 royal cruises this year. All oasis class and luggage tags all came on day 6. I actually haven’t remembered getting tag night before in a few years.

It’s such a downer to see those tags set out on the bed.  Hard to believe today’s your last day.  What are your plans in San Juan?
