My dinner reservation was causing a conflict. The system thinks dinner should take four hours, which would be a problem if it does. Line moved once additional crew showed up to help folks in line who just didn't know how to use the app. Booked for 1015 she strongly recommended against 8 even though I don't see why dinner will take even 90 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 18 Author #107 Share Posted February 18 No reservations available so I walked in and was told there was no room. I gave my best pretty please and he said he could squeeze me in but to be patient with service. So patient I will be, happy to get in and surprised 11 was too late to get a reservation for lunch yikes. The menu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 18 Author #110 Share Posted February 18 Trying to not eat too too much right out of the gate but I wish I'd ordered the full order. So good. Very creamy taste, piping hot and just a perfectly prepared risotto. A++ Filet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 18 Author #115 Share Posted February 18 The filet was good. It didn't really stand out in any way but it was cooked perfectly, and unlike the early days of the restart, it was a good cut of meat. They really struggled with sourcing at first but no problems these days I'm pleased to see. The potatoes served with it were pretty to look at piped on the plate, but lacked any flavor. The dessert was a chocolate lovers dream come true! It was so decadent without being overly sweet or rich. The fruit paired nicely as did the toasted hazelnuts. Very delicious. Overall a good meal. This is my least favorite of Royal's three different Italian restaurants. I prefer the new Giovanni's concept the most with Jamie's a close second. I seem to be the only one with that opinion though 🙂 I'm not really full but I could have ordered more food. I thought my first day off the diet I would have trouble eating much and don't want to spoil my dinner as CP150 is a favorite! Service was no problem. Everyone was super friendly and management pitched in waiting tables to help the staff keep up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 18 Author #119 Share Posted February 18 No nap even though my eyes are quite heavy. I see the casino does not open until 8:30 tonight 😱. That doesn't make sense, I'm hoping it's a typo. I forgot tip money so I have no cash until the casino opens. Gonna put in a bottle of my loyalty gift to get cold in case I need it. Was hoping to take them both home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 18 Author #121 Share Posted February 18 I don't want to spoil my appetite for dinner tonight but I am really hungry right now. Sail away is listed as 430 and app says casino opens at 530. Much more likely I hope. Taking a walk probably head to the gym to finish my second mile then see if any ships are sailing away yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
