Would you be able to elaborate on the couples massage. I saw that you said it was $325.00, but has anyone had it on the EOS? How long is it for? I am new to massages, husband nor I have every had one, it will be our 20th wedding anniversary next year for our cruise and we were going to get one. Is it worth it?

They now have this lunch package..on Saturday..I think it is $55 for lunch and it includes their cookbook and a tour of the ship galley!!!! We have booked that..it is limited to 26 people. I am DYING to see the galley!!!!

 

I can't wait to hear more about the lunch that sounds great, and we always seem to buy cookbooks so that would be a fun souvenir. (although we probably don't need 2)

Hi Lucy, Diva and Schmobo!! So nice to see my CC friends that will all be on the Explorer with me in December!!!! We will rule the ship!!!! lol

 

Lisa ~~ I have the description of the couples massage in my room...my laptop will not work in the room so I am here in the internet cafe. I will post it later.

 

Ok, lets talk first about last night's dinner at Portofino..OMG!!! I have pictures of all the food we ate and desserts. I will post that on my return. The service was incredible, as was the food. Our waitress was a doll!!!!!The shrimp risotto appertizer was beyond words...I swear I wanted to lick the plate (in my head, I did!!). I had the filet, WELL DONE, and it was like butter. What flavor to boot!!! Not sure why they served the best ever mashed potatoes.... but they were!!!! It was just a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful (did I say wonderful yet????) meal!!! The cruise director was eating there with his staff and I commented to our waitress that he was precious and that I wanted to pinch his cheek. Well, she went right over and told him!!! (he sent me over a drink..lol!!!!)

 

We saw the show Fast Forward, which I saw on the Explorer last time, and I still enjoyed it as much!! It is a few songs from each of the following movies...Flashdance, Fame, Dirty Dancing, Footloose and Saturday Night Fever that they sing and dance to. Everyone in the audience sings along.

 

Last night was also the party up on deck and the Buffet. I was up there a short time, then hit the casino till about 1am..it was not a good night in there (I lost at every machine!!)!!!

 

Today we are docked in St Thomas, and the Mariner pulled in about the same. We went to Megan's Bay beach. Can I bore you all and say OMG again!!!! It was so beautiful there...a $8 taxi ride each way, each person. They have shade and restrooms, and food and drinks and chair and mat rentals. We were there for 3 1/3 hours (9am to 12:30) and I never left the mat and the water!! It is a beautiful beach, and should not be missed.

 

Tonight is a one game bingo to win a 7 day cruise for 2 right before Love and Marriage..which I really want to be in!!!! lol There is a headliner stunt guy doing one show at 7:45, but not sure we will make it. Today we are in port from 7am to 8pm..a nice long day.

I want to do a shout out to my fantastic waitress from Portofino last night!! (I am sooo sorry, I forget your name at this moment!!) She said she reads the CC boards regularly and would look for this thread. You were wonderful, and I thank you for making my experience and my family and friends, even more special (I never did get to pinch Alan's cheek, you know....lol!!!)

Thanks for the live post. Have a wonderful trip.

 

If you have an chance can you pay attention to the live bands on the ship. There have been a few post claiming that RC is doing away with love bands on their ships.

 

Thanks 804

Once again, thank you so much for the live posts! We will be on the Aug. 17 sailing,can you tell me your waitress name. I will ask for her to be our server when we book. We always book a min of two nights at Portofino. Last years trip on the Explorer we ate there 3 times. I tryed 90% of the menu and it was super.

 

Enjoy,

Denise I'm so glad your diner was so yummy. After all of our discussions about food it's good you weren't disappointed.:) Enjoy the Love and Marriage game. I hope you get to be in it. Are they doing the car racing? If they are, are you still getting together with a bunch of people from our roll call to do that? If you have to sit in the car I can't wait to see the pictures:) :)

Hi Everyone!! Reporting from San Juan!!

 

Let me first address some posts and then I will post my report.

 

I will get the name of the waitress, CDL, and post it later. She really was worth asking for, though everyone was so wonderful also.

 

Diva, I have not mentioned the trinkets for a reason....I CAN"T FIND ANY!!!! I heard a "few or some" had been found, but the 2 people I went with for 2 hours found none!!!!!! We keep looking and I am sooo frustrated!!!! lol I was hoping to spot them before I mentioned it. Since I don't think anyone from my Roll Call thread is reading this report.....could you actually tell me where they are so maybe I could conduct a group search and give them direct clues. Everyone keeps mentioning them to me, but rumour is there are 2 families that went to M and M and said they found "some". but we haven't seen them again as they were new posters!

 

I have taken a gazillion pictures...I can't seem to stop. Can't wait to share.

 

Ok I will send this and then post right after this and tell you about Love and Marriage.......I think some of you might know what I am about to say.......;) :D

Is there any way you could get me copies of the kid's compasses for the 12-14 age group and the 15-17 age group for the full 9 nights?

 

I'd be happy to mail you a postage paid envelope to get them to me!

 

Thanks.
