Any chance you took screen shots of the menus? If so, would you mind sharing? (I'm very hungry lol and also curious for our Feb 28 MDAS!)
If not, could you confirm if they are still offering the Black Truffle Pasta Purseittes at Animators? Thanks! I'm glad you had such a wonderful experience!

Confirmed. The MDR menus have not really changed since pre-Covid, although Palo is different.

That's right. No real changes in the MDR.

Here is the MDAS dinner menu.

How was the departure process for disembarkation? Did you get assigned a dining room by your evening dining rotation? How quickly did they get everyone off the ship? Last time we went on a cruise (pre covid) there was a strike by the customs officials and it took forever to get thru the line ...

Debarkation was smooth as silk. As before COVID. We did the express walk-off and were out in no time.

The turnaround on the B2B day was a bit slower. They didn't realize there were some guests among the returning contractors and performers. We ended up embarking immediately behind the first new boarding group. All good once back on the ship though. We were allowed back into our rooms even when they were off limits until 3.00pm to everyone else.

Oh, you have no idea. We had to stick four of them one inside another. :evilgrin:

The CC day (#3) at 7.30 PM. They said they would do them again at 10.30 PM, but the app never listed them.

Other can Cabanas being available for lunch on embarkation day. Were any other restaurants open for lunch? We've gone to Animator's on previous cruises.

Awesome. We are scheduled to be on the Magic in about a month. Hopefully we can go there. Thank you!

The Fantasy photo, in particular, is great! The scale of the clouds compared to the giant ship, puts things in perspective.

Yup, and these pics don't do justice to the surreal feeling you get in person.

Have you guys ventured out on a ship yet?

Not yet. My wife and I were unexpectedly invited on a fantastic trip by my employer. It is a real treat, but it conflicted with our spring cruise, so we canceled. We still have the Italy/Greece cruise booked in June and I am optimistic it could sail. If it doesn't, that will be a land trip for us and we will cruise in the fall or spring. I am looking at options to take a cruise with just my wife too, as we haven't done that before.

I can't wait to sail again! I have been following your thread and really enjoying it.

We were recently onboard and yes, they had the Black Truffle Pasta Purseittes.

Ordered two of these on Fantasy at Christmas. Could have done a few more as a main course. Nice thing about fewer guests is that they really don't want everyone showing up at their official dining time. For early they just said show up anytime after the dining room opened at 5:15. This spreads out the meal courses so waiters can pick up various plates at any time rather than all of them picking up the same thing together. Our waiters had three tables in their section but timing kept them busy doing different things for each table.

I really hope they amend the mask in professional photos rule that is so dumb especially when you’re in a restaurant shoulder to shoulder maskless.

. I found the tables in the dining rooms to be nicely spaced out and we typically had no one seated at the tables directly next to us either.

Sorry, could someone remind me how to sign up for the 5k? I thought you could do it online but I don't see it listed as an activity to book.

 

[JimJoonie]

Another QQ, what the capacity limit for the pools? How did it work when capacity was reached?

You don't sign up for the 5K, you just go do it on your own and when you are finished, stop by the bike rental booth to pick up your medal. No official start, no time clock, it is all on your own.

 

[Pixarfans]

Can you share how the edge and vibe worked? Did they have capacity limits or wait times?
