    Matt got a reaction from RWDW1204 in How do you keep your Passport from getting lost ?   
    This!
    Not sure why passports aren't in same category as wallet, credit cards, cash or children in terms of their "vulnerability" to be stolen. No different.
    To answer @Peter2 question more directly, after I get into the room on day one, I put my keys, wallet and passport in the safe. I take the passports with me on excursions, like I do with cash.

    I know this is making it in there as @Matt is an early arriver..but it is absolutely my #1 tip for everyone.  We are fortunate that Royal doesn't make us adhere to the assigned boarding times like some of the other cruise lines do.  Take advantage of that always!

    Most sailing, if I remember, I'll set a message on my lock screen...

    Another thought would be to provide a number to call in the Emergency Contact/Number section. One thing I did notice was if my phone was in Airplane mode it wouldn't let me out of airplane mode with authentication. This would prevent any contacts from being called. Work around could be providing a number as a name of a contact.

    Note: Examples given were with a Samsung Galaxy S10. Abilities may vary based on device.

    @Trey 6 am to 10 pm, this is based off of a 4 day sailing i looked up on the latest cruise compass.

    Matt reacted to MelKaps in What's one tip or trick you use/love the most?   
    1. Arrive to the port early. You are paying for your day 1 and the sooner you get on the ship, the sooner you can start your vacation.
    2. Bring a USB port outlet for more charging space. Do not confuse this with a surge protector, since it most likely will be confiscated.
    3. Be friendly to the crew and chat with them. Room stewards, for instance, enjoy when we have conversations with them because their jobs are very repetitive and have to clean up after us. It can really make someone's day.

    Matt got a reaction from DJsMrs in Number of Ships at Coco Cay   
    CocoCay dock is designed to handle two ships. That doesn't mean two Oasis Class ships, and it doesn't mean there will be two ships there every day.
    After seeing CocoCay in its current state with "just" the beach and Oasis Lagoon pool, it handled the crowds extremely well. To the point there is ample seating all around. Now imagine when they add the water park, Beach Club and other offerings to further spread crowds out. I have zero concern about an additional ship in port from a crowd perspective.

    The short answer is I don't know if they offer Friends trivia on Anthem. 
    In my experience, the trivia offerings change up now and then. Best you can do is consult a past Cruise Compass and hope for the best!

    now, for the real announcement...really...the 2020 President’s Cruise will be to...
    ”Just because you vote, it doesn’t mean we are going to do it...”
    -Michael Bayley
    “We have five options for you  some are pretty crappy because we want to steer you a certain way...”
    -Michael Bayler
    option 1 — 2 day Empress repositioning (toilets will be flushing)
    option 2 — 30 day MSC Cruise with 29 sea days
    option 3 — 7 night Ovation Alaska (Aug 7) — “Empress is still winning.” - Michael Bayley — good crowd response
    option 4 — 7 night Oasis from NYC (August 4) 
    option 5 — 7 night Allure Mediterranean (after amplification) — good crowd response 
    Coin Toss by Super Mario — Allure of the Seas Mediterranean in August (I believe)
    California itineraries — “maybe” in 2021 — no commitment
     
    Michael Bayley is a hoot, btw...

    Man ain't that the truth! I for fun decided to price out a Disney cruise out of NY when one of the ships comes up here because I have a 6 year old. I almost fainted! I mock booked a regular balcony which is normally what we book on Royal Caribbean but you was about triple the cost. Yes triple! I think an inside cabin was still more than a balcony I usually book on Royal Caribbean. I was blown away.
