@tsywake and @Liquid Karma do you prefer sit down dinner or buffet style?
Buffet for breakfast. Sit down for dinner.

The Indian food was surprisingly good and I’m picky about Indian food.
Bougie post coming. On RC, I prefer Coastal Kitchen, their suite only specialty restaurant. If the ship is older or smaller and CK is not an option, I prefer the MDR. We only hit up the buffet if the other options aren't available. However, the buffet on RC has some amazing Indian food.
I feel ya. We did a 2br Stern suite on Indy during the covid restart for 6k. Now, the same suite is close to 15k.We got really spoiled doing Royal Caribbean cruises on Oasis-Class ships in 'Star Class'.
The perks were/are truly unreal, but the price has certainly caught up to the experience.
The first time we (4 of us, staying in an Aquatheater 2BR Suite) did Star Class, it was around $6k for the week. Now, it's closer to $30k for the group.
... So, I think we've done our last one for a while.
The next time my wife and I cruise, we're going to go the cheapest route possible and seriously limit our expectations.
Leaving tomorrow to embark on Friday. First time cruising with friend. @Liquid Karma and I should have some fun stories.
The Mrs. and I have CocoBeach Club reservations on CocoCay. Looking forward to a new experience.
to add to this, the little "restaurant-ettes" around the ships have good snack/finger foods/small sandwiches too, which are all included in your cruise fareBougie post coming.

DO IT.Still haven't decided if we are going to join y'all at the beach club.
I'd love to do an over water cabana if we could ever get 6-8 people to go in together. That, combined with the CocoBeach Club benefits would make it very economical. I just can't justify it for 2-3 of us.DO IT.
Seriously.
We balled out unnecessarily for an overwater cabana coming out of Covid but we soon realized we would have been just as happy at the CocoBeach Club. The food was spectactular.
Do it.
we'd do it again with other people for sure, but never again by ourselves.I'd love to do an over water cabana if we could ever get 6-8 people to go in together. That, combined with the CocoBeach Club benefits would make it very economical. I just can't justify it for 2-3 of us.
DV7 sure does know how to run an effective ponzi scheme.
After 2 delays, we finally landed in Orlando. Thanks Frontier!
I really can't complain too much, the flight was $27.
Nice, which ship on the Nile?We have done a Viking river cruise on the Rhine and it was fantastic. We were the youngest people on board but everything was top notch. We did a Viking ocean cruise in 2021 and that was great as well, although the larger crowd isn’t as much fun. (It’s still a tiny ocean ship.). Just signed up for a Nile trip spring of 2024 so that will be cool. We added a Jordan extension and get to go to Petra.
