Have you been able to verify that Luminae still offers the petite filet on the children’s menu? Thanks! I am going to ask our waiter tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mac_tlc Posted February 2, 2023 Author #105 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Looks like an early morning medical issue on Carnival Breeze or Vista: We are alongside in Cozumel at sunrise. Busy busy day today with 7 ships in port. 3 Carnival ( Breeze, Vista, Horizon), 2 Disney (Magic, Dream) , Brilliance of the Seas and Celebrity Beyond. These are the days I am glad we are going to Nachi Cocum where they limit attendance. Only issue will be the traffic coming back to ship. We plan to get off around 8:15 or so, all aboard is 3:30. Here’s hoping that the pool water isn’t too cold. mac_tlc Edited February 2, 2023 by mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far in advance do you make the reservations? I noticed the reservation is non refundable unless your ship doesn't dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the reservation is non refundable unless your ship doesn't dock. We did these reservations 6 months ahead. There is a 20% deposit, the rest is paid when you get here. Cash, Master Card, Visa. Maybe this will influence your decision. From two minutes ago😜😜. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted February 2, 2023 Author #110 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Time for lunch : Don’t be too alarmed, prices are in Peso’s, with todays exchange rate about 18.6 pesos = 1 USD. Second reason to not be alarmed is it’s all included!! For $59, we think it’s a great bargain. Food, drinks, pool, hot tub, beach, limited attendance. It’s all good !!!! mac_tlc Edited February 2, 2023 by mac_tlc 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NBliving Posted February 2, 2023 #112 Share Posted February 2, 2023 When we were on the beyond a few weeks ago, my DH was so disappointed in the NY Strip Steak our first night in Luminae. He said it was more like a roast. I think I've seen that reported before but had forgotten. Curious if any in your party had this entree? Or heard comments about it during your cruise.

I had that issue when I was on the Apex. They did it with two different cuts of meat, the second time I REFUSED the entrée and requested something else. While the cut of beef may be accurate in description the preparation IS NOT. A Steak and a roast is made and tastes totally different and I really wish they would amend the menu description. There's a somewhat similar menu disconnect in Blu where an entree is listed as Steak salad. What is presented is NOT a salad with sliced steak pieces but a whole piece of grilled steak PLUS a salad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted a salad with slices of steak ON IT. The steak was prepared very well. Just not what I thought I was ordering... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that it doesn't taste good as prepared, but it's NOT what's listed in the menu. Prime Rib and a flamed grilled ribeye steak is the same cut of beef, but if you ordered a prime rib for dinner and they came out with a grilled ribeye steak wouldn't that surprise you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted February 2, 2023 Author #120 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) A few more Nachi pix as we begin to pack up to head back. We really like it here. We keep talking of trying other places, and we did El Cozomelino once, but can’t come up with a compelling reason too.
