  2. Thank you! Just a reminder to vote again today (Thursday)!
  3. 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.

  7. From what I've heard, it's somewhat random. Or at least, there isn't a means of signing up. Rather, you are picked. How you are picked remains a mystery.
  8. Marc is correct

  10. You might find this blog post helpful: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2013/07/29/what-wear-your-royal-caribbean-cruise For a jacket for smart casual, it can be a blazer or a suit jacket. I'll be honest, jackets on smart casual aren't a requirement. A collared dress shirt alone will be fine.
  11. Finish this topic's sentence. Only one improvement, so choice wisely!
  12. Beat me to the answer. Good post Marc!
  13. Congrats Michelle! In a word? EVERYTHING :P
  14. If the excursion is a RC excursion, do not worry about missing the ship leaving. You are guaranteed the ship will wait for you.
  15. Agreed, RC offers a lot to use your money on
  16. You're still too far out to book most things. Once you get within 6 months more opens up.

  20. Typically staterooms do not open until about 1pm or so. YIf you embark before that time, you will have to take your luggage/belongings with you to lunch or anywhere else.
  21. Get to the port early on embarkation day and study the Cruise Compass each evening to prepare for the next day.
  22. Yes, you get a sticker on your SeaPass card
  23. How far out is your cruise?
  24. Now that gratuities are automatic, they all know what the deal is. In fact, I'd expect them to be more surprised if you did tip on the final night than not.
  25. I agree. Not tipping extra is not going to result in poor service. I also do not believe in tipping in advance for good service (that's called bribery LOL).
