  • WE MADE A BIG MISTAKE ON OUR HARMONY OF THE SEAS CRUISE
    I bought the unlimited dining plan for myself and my two nephews on this cruise. However yesterday we may not have thought things through and I think we made a big mistake.

    My family cruised on the symphony of the seas last May , and we decided to splurge and get a star class suite, meaning we had unlimited dining and drinks. I can honestly say I have never enjoyed/suffered through meals as I did on that cruise. In 7 days I gained 12 lbs….no joke. I feel your pain😂

    Hi Don , Just some info on Grease . John Travolta wanted Danny to sing Greeased Lightning in the movie, but it originally was Kenicki who sings it on Broadway . So , it is actually the movie that switched it up . I’m a huge fan of Grease AND John Travolta . 😊

    • @brucedowning6752

      Danny's full name is Danny Zuko, so Danny & Zuko are the same person. Yes, it was Kenicki on the stage.

    The parades on RCL have been awful since they eliminated the DreamWorks characters. We loved the Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar parades and meet and greets with Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey, King Julian etc. It was a lot of fun. Glad I got a picture with King Julian before he was fired. 😁

    We also did the UDP on Harmony in August. Never again for us. Way too much food! We really prefer the grazing method when eating on a cruise. I’m good with the buffet, park and promenade cafe etc. I can’t control myself in the specialty restaurants lol.

    Hi Don. Took my family on 'Anthem of the Seas' in March. Had similar dining experience. Specialty dining at Jamie's, Izumi, & Chops. Took advantage of the MyTime dining options in American Icon, LeGrande, & Silk restaurants. By the time we hit Sorrentos for pizza, Promenade for pastries & cookies, the DogHousre, & Windjammer for everything it offers - OMG - you could have rolled us home. Service was outstanding. We saw 'We will rock you, Spectra's Cabaret, Frankie with the Dreamers, & the In Concert' shows. All were fantastic. Our Kennedy Space Center tour was cancelled due to a COVID alert there, but the CocoaCay waterpark, Blue Lagoon dolphin swim, snorkeling excursion, & Nassau sightseeing / gift shopping adventures gave us priceless lifetime memories.

  • @KennethSmith-wh5gl
    @KennethSmith-wh5gl ปีที่แล้ว +4

    We were on Harmony during Halloween so, they did one long parade at night to include any children that were dressed for the occasion. We enjoyed Grease, the aqua show timeline, the ice skating show 1887 and they did Their own production of a musical /play titled, Columbus.

    Your story reminds me of the time I was on a Princess Caribbean cruise as a teen... it was the last day on the ship and I wanted to hang with friends. So we did the unlimited dining for hours, just eating whatever. And then the people who ran the kids zone invited us for dinner, after we had stuffed our faces for hours. I needed a vomitorium or something, I could barely eat it all. I think the only way I survived was because I was a teen, couldn't imagine doing that even in my 30s. But it's cruising, enjoy yourself!

  • @tomrunning357
    @tomrunning357 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    We had the same issue with being way too full after our Teppanyaki dinner experience too, I would have to say it is from eating too much fried rice that expands more once after eating it.

    Cruise eating should be an Olympic event, complete with coaches and strategy. Of course, Drink Package Bar Crawl and Stumble, could be considered also.
    Grease is always great to see on a cruise. Saw a typical but fun production on an NCL cruise many years ago.

We also like to enjoy The Windjammer and food at the Solarium, so an unlimited dining package was just not an option.

    On our Adventure cruise we just got off of yesterday 11-14-22, most of the movies we wanted to see were at 7pm while we were eating dinner. Some were poolside during the day, but the pool area was so crowded and loud, that we didn't think we could enjoy watching them. One that was at 10:30pm was the Top Gun Maverick movie, but we didn't think we could stay up that late to watch it. We also couldn't ever make it to the ice skating show. I do like that Adventure did have movies for entertainment besides the comedian and Invitation to Dance shows that were scheduled at night after dinner. We did watch the newest Downton Abbey movie, but since I'd never seen the TV series, I wasn't invested in the characters and I found it to be boring. I really regret we didn't have a chance to see the Cirque du Soleil movie. I wish they'd had more movies at various times during the day in the Lyric Theater.
