Happy Sunday, and I hope you had a great week. It was a busy week of Royal Caribbean fun, and I have a round-up of all of it in this hand-dandy blog post.<\/p>\n
Royal Caribbean has added a non-smoking casino<\/a> to another cruise ship, but this change is different.<\/p>\n After emerging from a scheduled drydock, Radiance of the Seas surprised guests with an unannounced change to replace the pub onboard with a non-smoking casino.<\/p>\n Adding non-smoking casinos isn’t new, but this is the first time they’ve replaced a popular bar with a gambling space.<\/p>\n Have you subscribed to the Royal Caribbean Blog YouTube Channel<\/a>? We share some great videos there regularly, all about taking a Royal Caribbean cruise! This week, we are sharing our latest video \u2014 The Boarding Day Trick Most Cruisers Don\u2019t Know<\/a> \u2014 and don\u2019t forget to subscribe here<\/a>.<\/p>\n There are some truly underrated and lesser-known dishes you should be ordering<\/a> in the Main Dining Room.<\/p>\n While you won’t go wrong with the MDR staples, I think a few appetizers and entrees go overlooked but are some of the best food you’ll find on a Royal Caribbean ship.<\/p>\n In my 20 years of cruising on Royal Caribbean, it’s clear some of these items stand out as being fantastic.<\/p>\n When Allie took her husband on his first megaship<\/a>, the experience was very different from what he was used to.<\/p>\n There’s nothing like an Oasis Class ship, which is why so many new cruisers are drawn to trying them.<\/p>\n Moving from smaller ships to Oasis Class introduced a few surprises and new favorites for Luke.<\/p>\n When Legend of the Seas launches this summer, there’s going to be changes to the dining options<\/a>.<\/p>\n Royal Caribbean is never content to copy its ships, so there are always tweaks and changes. Dining is definitely one area we see the most variations when a new ship comes out.<\/p>\n The cruise line revealed all of the dining options coming to Legend of the Seas, including a few surprises.<\/p>\n I love eating in the Main Dining Room, but I’ve seen so many people making mistakes<\/a> in how they eat there.<\/p>\n It’s most common with new cruisers, but even established cruisers will sometimes slip up.<\/p>\n I think everyone wants to have a great meal every time they eat in the MDR, so I came up with mistakes to avoid.<\/p>\n We’ve just released the 597th episode<\/a> of the Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast<\/a>. In it, Matt talks through the curious situation happening with NCL leadership changes.<\/p>\n You can subscribe to the Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast via YouTube<\/a>, iTunes<\/a>, Google Play<\/a> or RSS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.royalcaribbeanblog.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy Sunday, and I hope you had a great week.
