    Good deal! Remember that Symphony and Explorer have different terminals. The Symphony terminal is more like the new terminal in Galveston. It was very nice. Both terminals were very organized, however.

    You on our favorite ship💛 Was Mario heading to Symphony? Or a turnaround on Explorer...I know he been on her for awhile. We had that corner balcony on Liberty. Hubby kept hitting head on the metal arm. But your glass door is better, we had just a window on ours. First day onboard....always creamy macNcheese in buffet and creme brule for dinner desert.

    He was headed through the back-to-back line, so I think he was staying on a while. It appears he likes that size ship maybe better than the Oasis class. It also appeared maybe his daughter was with him. They favored a great deal, and she looked about the right age, but he never talks about his personal life, so I'm not for sure. He was in a JS right down the hall from us.

    Well this time I'm tired of having to go to the buffet when I first board a ship. So I seeked out a quiet place for me and my wife to eat once we get on board our ship Navigator of the seas in december. We will be going to hook when we get on board and not to the buffet with everybody else on the ship. Nothing like going and having a sit-down meal when you first forward the ship and not have to deal with $5,000 other passengers. That is why I booked a specialty restaurant for lunch seek out hidden places where you can eat I'm bored on invarkation day so you don't have to deal with everybody else who is wanting to eat at the same time at the buffet.

    Jeff Dinter, I can empathise with that sentiment. Embarkation day tends to be the busiest day on any cruise-ship, but I have found that the Windjammer (or its equivalent) on the Pool/Lido Deck (or its equivalent) can be very convenient with a wide variety of dishes, complimentary teas and coffee 24/7, and extensive seating area. I like to observe the patterns hour by hour and day by day to choose the off-peak times to go. E.g., going early as soon as a venue opens (e.g., Fitness Centre, Solarium, Main Dining Room, showrooms/theatres, or Windjammer) often means getting the best of all the dishes and being ahead of the majority of other guests. I also noticed, in the video about the Wonder of the Seas (that the Wagners presented), that the Windjammer provides extended seating areas that go around the entire deck! So I think that the cruise-lines continue to listen to guests' feedback and continue to respond and to improve their designs on new ships, as well as successfully retrofitting the older ships.

    The middle plug looks like an RJ-45 outlet, or an outlet for an Ethernet (network) cable. I am curious if it would work, just because you are in a suite. After further review, it could also be a phone jack, just can’t tell from the video.
