  1. 17.3" laptop loaded with movies off my media server works for me.  Also handles light gaming if I feel the urge.  Sometimes I can even hook up to the TV but I don't count on it.  Depends on the ship and the TV that's in my particular stateroom.

    Bringing your own movies is a great idea

  2. Thanks Matt. I am making my way through your podcasts and enjoying them a lot.  I really liked the one with Len and Laurel recently.  Laughed at how little they appeared to know, with them normally being the ones with all the information.  :)   I learned things like the ice skating is free, and the show is too. The Royal Caribbean web site isn't real clear on a lot of details, or at least I haven't found it on their site.. 

    Glad I can be of help. There's a lot to do on Royal Caribbean ships and most of it is included in the price!

     

    Thank you for listening!

  3. I would be curious as to why Royal keeps changing their stance on NO. Is it financial? Are those taking cruses from NO not big onboard spenders? Do they need to discount the cruises to get people onboard? I can't imagine any other reason besides financial to justify the changes.

     

    My wife goes to NO every year for a public health conference and lets just say it isn't her favorite place to visit while traveling for many reasons. Also I've heard a lot of people say the Port of NO is very unorganized with long wait times to get on and leave the ship. Hopefully that has changed.

    I have no doubt the decision is financial based.  Maybe it's onboard spending, maybe its cruise fares.  

     

    I do believe they will return to New Orleans within a year or two.

  4. I thought I saw a post, but cant find it now, talking about Starbucks. Has anyone been on with a royal replenish or ultimate package to find out if they fall under their definition of 'specialty coffee'? I'm so gonna get my moneys worth on Navigator if so. Muahaha!

    On Navigator Starbucks was included in Royal Replenish package back in Feb

  5. You can have your gratuities included with your final payment, if you wish. (It's required to do so if you have My Time Dining.) Simply contact your travel agent (or Royal Caribbean, if you don't have one) and ask that they be paid in advance.

    Beat me to the answer.  Good post Marc!
