I imagine a number of excursion providers have been impacted by the pandemic. Some may not be around anymore. It may take some time to rebuild a complete shore excursion portfolio once cruising resumes. Be careful putting a lot of faith into a previous excursion catalog.

If it wasn't for the CSO we might never realize the extent to which the CDC is just making it up as they go along.

Looks like these guys are friends. New UV sanitation in the elevator.

As a first time cruiser on Royal this is a great place to start: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/getting-started

This crew member must have been on since before the handover. This is an older post.

Welcome to the message boards. All purchases in the cruise planner have to be paid in full when you purchase any item.

Why was the horse so happy? Because he lived in a stable environment.

That's why judges are paid the big bucks. Much bigger decisions go before judges all the time.

Thinks that's family court. ?

Maybe there's some Italian inspection they can get out of the way in Civitavecchia now so it's easier to arrive in 2022.

I imagine they'll try to collect any crew that has a current US visa along the way. Civitavecchia seems a bit out of the way but it must make sense in the bigger picture.

I really don't think there is a good or bad time or day of the cruise. Consider the port schedule and when you might be coming back from a day off the ship. If it's a special night and you want to be dressed up give yourself more time to get ready.

Your new TA has some skin in the game since they are earning a commission on cruise 4. If nothing else you've learned something about that TA. Might be time to consider another TA for the next time.

I thought the same thing. Did a double take on the URL... is this really the Herald?

I almost booked Iceland then the sale was announced. Glad to see the points will still accumulate, or so it seems.

True... but on May 9, 2021. I was booked on the April 30, 2021, 9 night Rome sailing.

If I book a cruise from the past, do I still get CAS points? ?

May 7, 2021 is in the past. Are you seeing 2022 dates?

Where do you see that?

The relationship between Azamara amd RCG remains closer than expected. It's almost like the new owners outsourced certain functions to RCG. RCG was recently advertising Azamara jobs on it's HR website. Azamara remains in the RCG reservation system and apparently they are still in the loyalty program bound with X. I'm left with the impression since the new owners have no experience in the industry part of the deal included an operational involvement from RCG.
