so what happened since your first test was unusable? 

They said they’ll credit us. We bought 4 in the event of something like this

I’m boarding her Saturday and took our tests this morning. First test opened and the bottle of solution was dry. Also could not use our phone. Directed us to use a desktop 

Just passing this along in case people don’t know this. 

It’s cheaper (at least on all of my cruises currently) to buy each separately. VOOM is $3 a day LESS when purchased on its own. 

Usually bundling offers a discount of sorts. Not in this case. 

Anyone else show this? Is it possibly due to a C&A discount? (we’re Diamond)

Still no updates on the Wonder in Barcelona in May 2022 from May 4 thru May 8.  Maybe it just sits for four days.

This was just sent to those who have a b2b TA and first med sailing. The guy who got this letter said there is no charge for those 4 days. Lucky ducks! 
 

UDP has reappeared in cruise planner 

Well this is underwhelming for sure.

The clip on the C&A FB page shows iconic structures in the world so my guess is it’s about Icon. Let’s see!     

Winner winner chicken dinner! I bet this is it! 

I bet you’re good in those escape rooms

I’ve purposely left Fall 2023 open in anticipation of her inaugural  

I already can’t sleep because I’m FINALLY getting on a cruise Saturday (Symphony). Now I have to lay awake wondering what’s coming out of left field?

He removed the "news of a lifetime" language from the post.

I noticed that today. 
 

Newsflash: Celebrity accepting mixed vaccines 

Tomorrow’s Royal news: will accept mixed vaccines 

Carry on, move along. Nothing earth shattering. 
 

Bayley needs to choose words carefully. Throw us a morsel and we’ll make it into a filet mignon

I wonder how much trouble I would get in if I leaked the news here first...

You can create  a fake profile!

It has to be a destination based on the C&A page teaser.

 

South American cruises?

Hmmm didn’t Royal get involved with Turks and Caicos? I know Carnival is there but I thought I saw somewhere that Royal might be adding that? 
 

Or Royal is releasing their plans for Freeport/Grand Lucayan (although a rendering has already been released)

I guess this will be announced tomorrow to TA’s first then to public 

Well the vaccine mandate in the Bahamas and St Thomas are due to expire November 1. Maybe if it expires then unvaccinated allowed back on which explains all the cabin changes starting with November cruises.

We're cancelling all protocols - business as usual.

If that’s the case I better soak up reduced capacity to the max next week on Symphony 

So what would your (all of us collectively) “news of a lifetime” be? 
 

GO!

Now I have that song in my head on repeat….the rated G version of it from The Jungle Book. 

Thanks. Now I do too

That’s what my friend and I are doing, but flying into anchorage, making our way to Seward, and one way to Vancouver......if you’re on a cruise, might as well get your money’s worth.....and you can tack on as many days as you would like before or after!

That’s what we’re doing too. Added a 3 day wilderness express land tour before getting on Radiance

I wanted to know if it's possible to do a one-way cruise. I wanted to do a cruise up to Juneau Alaska and then stay a couple of days and then maybe fly back. Is it possible to do this and get a cruise at a discounted rate?

Why don’t you fly to Juneau, spend a few days, make your way to Seward and cruise to Vancouver 

But no sovereign class or song of Norway, America etc

So ready!  I think I read an earlier comment that Flight will be back on our cruise…is that accurate?

Yes! It came back this past week I believe. The cruise director (Brian Leavitt) posted a short video on his Facebook

When is that ?

I want to say August 2022. It might be a late July sailing and an august. I just remember all the unhappy passengers that got cancelled 

Found it: August 21-30. I guess there’s only only one they’ve (Atlantis) chartered. I remember another odyssey being chartered too though. Must be different group.

Or Atlantis cruises....

Atlantis is who has chartered Odyssey in the Med

This same group I believe has commandeered (staying with the pirate theme) 2 Odyssey sailings in the Med this summer.

I told my six year old twins that the group almost took over our ship for a second time. 
 

Their question:

”Are they Pirates dad?”

Well they could be after yer booty!

We sail mostly with Royal. But have sailed 3 other lines about 6-7 times each. It is our humble opinion that Royal has the least favorable website.  As far as the different % off the drink packages etc.. I believe the more it sells per ship the less the discount if at all.  We had a Mariner 3 night few years back and the drink pkg was showing $75 pp.  W e figured we would most certainly get it for less on board.  We lived and learned it was $81 pp.  OH well.

Those 3 night cruises are always high because people really hit the package hard for 3 days. It’s harder to maintain that level of drinking over say a 7 night cruise. 

It’s almost here! The final countdown begins.
