Rare BirdTravels Posted April 3 Author #106 Share Posted April 3 If reality is too hard to grasp, enter the world of virtual reality in the Galaxy Pavillon. The facility will have an unknown fate during dry dock later this year. Currently, there are no GP packages. It is a straight up $9 a ride. $25 for the Captain’s Quest escape room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokidoki Posted April 3 #107 Share Posted April 3 2 hours ago, BirdTravels said: We will see. It’s kinda like moving into someone’s house where they left all of the furniture. The old vendor had a handbag shop here, but you don’t have enough merchandise for a dedicated handbag store, but you want to sell beachware, how do you repurpose the handbag displays for sundresses? How do you distribute your $1M in jewelry in the old display cases? The old vendor put the high end stuff right at the door, new vendor wants to have an exclusive section in the back,,, using the front cases for cheap stuff that they plan to move quickly,,, giving the store the appearance of being “the place” to go. Look forward to seeing the new shops/vendors very soon! Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never order it but wanted to make sure you didn’t miss it if you are thinking of an upcoming trip- I think it’s always offered 🙂 Yes, there is a strip steak on the "classic" menu. The problem is twofold: 1. If you want to eat beef, it appears your only complimentary MDR option is the strip steak 2. That strip steak is absolutely awful. It's so bad they have to drown it in an overly salted gravy just to give it some taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_sobe Posted April 4 #114 Share Posted April 4 Interesting they put sun loungers in the laser tag area. I suppose they have to pick them all up for the nightly games. I suppose they need more deck space and loungers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are passengers stacked in the halls. Every square inch of sunlight has a chair/lounger in it. Although the Waterfront and the Thermal Suite don’t feel very busy for those who enjoy some shade.

It's so bad they have to drown it in an overly salted gravy just to give it some taste. My experience on The Escape in Feb was the opposite. Strip steak was cooked to my preferred temp and I asked for the sauce on the side, which I didn’t taste because the steak was seasoned perfectly with just salt and pepper. maybe ask for the gravy/sauce on the side next time.

Rare BirdTravels Posted April 4 Author #120 Share Posted April 4 Day 4 was brought to you by Emerald Beach. Even momma chicken has an umbrella and lounger for her and the kids. Emerald Beach is a short drive from the port with ample loungers umbrellas. There is good bar and food service on the beach. The sand is soft and the waters calm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
