Rare Yaya_in_Oz Posted January 6 #227 Share Posted January 6 Disembarkation I didn’t ask for any group. They put me in Orange 3. Civilised. I hate the stampede at express walkoff. I’m 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted January 7 #228 Share Posted January 7 After many years I finally woke up the the fact that the disembarkation group only indicates the earliest time you can disembark. There is nothing stopping you disembarking a bit later. We leave our cabin by 8am as requested, have a leisurely breakfast in the MDR then disembark. Admittedly we request the latest set of time slots but they always allocate us to the earliest one of that set. Usually we're off within 30 minutes of our time so not delaying things too much. There are usually still groups being called as we leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Lou*~ Posted January 7 #229 Share Posted January 7 You can have breakfast in the MDR on the last day??? We were on Coral last year, only the buffet was open, not even IC, it was utter chaos, we gave up and ate at the airport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have much with me being a short summer cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MDR was open for breakfast on the five cruises we did on Coral in 2022, on Grand last March and on Diamond in November. I think the times are earlier than regular cruise days though.

Rare Womble99 Posted January 7 #233 Share Posted January 7 I am hoping Melbourne can actually supply stock this time! Pretty sad to see the ship running short on a 6 day cruise due to non delivery at the last resupply. Maybe one of the reasons they are cutting away Melbourne?

Rare mr walker Posted January 7 #234 Share Posted January 7 Sounds interesting to me. Maybe should have put it in "pie thread", but hoping they offer similar on Majestic 10 Feb 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been open for us on Coral & Majestic on each of the last 5 cruises. 6:30 is a bit late if you have a rushed disembark, but we always try to avoid that. There are restrictions though - suite breakfast has the regular menu plus there is no room service breakfast. To avoid the rush for an early riser, down to International Café nice and early, and grab a light breakfast & coffees to take back to room. We avoid buffet breakfast in general, and especially on disembark morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely no MDR or IC on last day. Excellent to know we should have better options this time! Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted January 8 Author #242 Share Posted January 8 back on board. it was raining when we arrived at the port. we had to wait till 11.40 to go inside the terminal due to passport staff getting held up in a crash on the way to port. we were a couple of the first on. we went to the dining room after dropping off our hand luggage in our cabin. had our usual beef tenderloin. booked the same table we had last cruise with the same waiters. we don't use the medallion for anything so had to do that once on board 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted January 8 Author #244 Share Posted January 8 this cruise i didn't book the plus package so I paid $10 per night for internet. we have 2 bottles of wine and the elite drinks, plus the elite drinks from last cruise to help tide us over. I will pay as I go for my drinks in explorers etc. I never used the alfredos x2 meals, deluxe desserts etc on last cruise. I also don't drink fizzy or coffee, so I will cope just fine without the plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted January 8 Author #246 Share Posted January 8 we encountered a nasty woman in the luggage drop off area. she was really nasty to one of the crew. yelled at him asking if he had ever been in pain, told him to f... off. called him a p...k. she had demanded a chair and there are none. he said he could arrange for a wheelchair when boarding starts. and thats when she went off. her family all hung their heads in shame/embarrassment. security were called. we spoke with the staff person and security offering to give a statement. she should not be allowed on board. we will give her a wide berth when we see her on board 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Karen in the wild!!!!!!!!! What IS it with these people?! Were they never taught manners as a child? And do they really think that being obnoxious is going to make people want to help them? If I were a part of her family (heaven forbid), I would have dragged her away and told her to stop acting like a badly brought up toddler!!! She's just an embarrassment to herself. I won't tolerate rudeness especially from family (not that my family is ever rude (at least not in my hearing!). And there is NO excuse for profanity and name calling. Sheez! Stick her in a wheel chair and 'accidentally miss the gang plank' 😠 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a page like this before. Having said that, on our last cruise a lot of paperwork relevant to our cabin, ie kids club info, went to the single lady next door. It took her a few days to realise it was probably meant for us and passed it over. You don't know what you don't know so we didn't realise we were missing anything!

Usually there are several different flavours available and of course, they always have hot chips available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
