The graduation ceremony with the compilation video for the kids participating in the club/lab. And the Mickey mortarboards to go along with it.

I miss the option of bringing your own alcohol on board. Alaska without peppermint schnapps & hot chocolate just wouldn't have been the same! That was a big selling point for my husband was when I told him he didn't have to pay for alcohol. We aren't wine/champagne drinkers so the new policy doesn't help us out at all.

Also, I'm bummed to hear about the pretzels! We loved those!

And the towels, that would be so much better than the backpack we received.

We had 'free' fresh pretzels this August on the Wonder from Pinocchios! They were offered on certain days, plain and the cream cheese filled cinnamon sugar ones.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have a menu or know what food is for sale at O'Gills Pub on the Fantasy? I'm curious as to what's available and the prices. Thanks!!

I realize your post was from last year but I took a pic of the Pub Grub menu on the Magic last week and thought I would post:

For food on the pub menu, yes there's a charge. There's still a "free" buffet in the pub for a short time each night. At least there was on our cruise in May.

They still have it. Last week on the Magic there were full sized hot dogs, wings, nachos, mini wrap sandwiches, sauerkraut. They were encouraging people to eat up from the buffet!!

And I still miss Parrot Cay. I liked it so much better than Carioca's!!!

Yeah, we had it on the EBTA, also. But I didn't take any pictures this time.

I do have a picture, but it's on a different computer. I'll have to find it.

I'm enjoying this thread and thought of a few things no longer on the ships and not already mentioned.

Smoking was allowed in bars on deck 3 and on balconies.

Palo reservations were taken on embarkation day in Palo! FYI: In 1999, charge was $5.00!

Tropical night, the precursor to pirate night.

Afternoon games at Quiet Cove pool.

Three stationary chairs and small table on deck 5 aft, just aft of the theater. Nice place to meet/wait for other cruisers in your party.

Coin operated washers and dryers.

Before CC5K Goofy joined us for a picture. Then he ran away - the wrong way! We got a certificate instead of the medal.

On Tangled night, the pub turns into the Snuggly Duckling and the have all sorts of sausages.

JanDave brought back a memory. When we sailed in 1998, we were actually able to choose the table we wanted when we made our Palo reservation. We took a window table somewhere in the middle. Lately it seems whenever we're on the Magic or Wonder, we seem to get the table right next to the private room.

Afternoon games were great but were seldom quiet at the Quiet Pool!!! Synchronized swimming with the cruise staff was one of our favorites (after the cruise staff host was thrown in)!!! Miss all the pool games!!

YES -- ALL OF THIS. I especially miss the cafeteria style buffet, and the chandelier!

 

[RedSox68]

I feel the opposite. I miss Topsiders (I don't really like Cabanas) and I'm so glad to see the back of the Chihuly. It's not really Art Deco style and I never felt that it fit (though I don't particularly like the replacement even though I think that it's slightly better - they just seem bland and undersized).


Nope. I found it really annoying this summer. You have to manhandle your plate, put it on the table, go get a drink (and you and your dining companions have to stagger your trips so that your plate doesn't get taken in the mistaken assumption that you're finished), then go get some fruit, etc. It's really inconvenient. I don't see why they can't just give you a tray to be more efficient and do one trip.

No other cruise lines we have been on have trays. We have discovered the art of using a plate for dinner, and another plate for the drinks or desserts, etc. Better than making two trips.

Hercules ~ Hercules ~ Hercules. I really miss that show -- my family still thinks it was one of their best!

MJ, my DH was a participant - he was not a good synchronized swimmer! LOL

What does this area look like now? I thought this was so cute the way it was designed.
