As long as both parties have a Voom plan and both parties have a cell phone and cellular provider that supports WiFi calling. Make sure to test and use WiFi calling at home before boarding. Some US based cellular providers only enable wifi calling the very first time you enable it if the phone is on their cellular network at the time. The phone needs to check in with the cellular provider on their network to enable the feature. Once wifi calling is initially enabled and working then it doesn't matter.

Thanks for posting.

Curious... is this from Quantum?

This post contains some pics of 9392 including the views left, right and down towards other balconies: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/topic/9391-recap-mariner-4-night-bahamas-sept-21-2018/&do=findComment&comment=85343 The entire balcony isn't in full view but you can be clearly seen while standing at the railing.

Operated by FlyCozumel https://flycozumel.com/product/cozumel-chichen-itza-excursion/ Looks like their fleet currently uses two Cessna t206h, a Kodiak 100 and a Cessna 208. https://flycozumel.com/our-fleet/ Given the price point I'm guessing they will use the larger plane so it will likely be the 208.

I think Harmony has to get her mandatory 5 year maintenance and certification completed which requires a drydock which necessitates the voyage across the pond.

Where's the block user button? ?

Do you remember when you could go on a cruise? Those were the good ole days...

Listing cancelled bookings started occurring a year or two ago. I now have a long list of "past" cruises that equal well above my actual cruise count with Royal while I haven't actually sailed on all of them. Sometimes I'll grab a refundable deposit booking then I book through my agent for better rates or terms and cancel the direct refundable booking. Both show up as a past cruise with only actually sailed cruises having points allocated to them. Sometimes I book early and change my mind so cancel. Then the same cruise appears with a last minute rate so I book it again then Royal cancels the cruise so it shows up twice with no points.

Haines is new for Royal Caribbean. The community has been trying to get into the cruise scene for several years now instead of watching ships go by on the way to Skagway. Unfortunately that means there isn't a lot of experience within the Royal Caribbean user community for this port. Suggest you fall back to searching sites like Trip Advisor for ideas. You are correct that the long days of summer will work in your favor for some of your stop there.

I've come pretty close to the brig. It looks like this:

The current travel restrictions are bilateral. The difference between the two countries is a matter of enforcement. With very low volumes US CBP isn't turning away Canadians trying to enter the US at the moment. If large volumes of Canadian travelers show up at the border I suspect CBP would begin to enforce the travel restrictions like Canada is now. CBP is basically taking the approach "If you are crazy enough to want to come here right now, come on in". Bottom line is that ships are not sailing anytime soon. The current administration did a feel good baby step with the conditional sail order but it is anything but a green light to cruises resuming. The next administration also won't green light cruises during a public health crisis. Until death rates fall and the situation stabilizes there will be no cruises regardless which administration is in power. More importantly what crazy Canuck would want to go to the US while the US has no control of the pandemic? The upcoming vaccines will change the game. Only once they start to trend the public health crisis downward will the conditional sail order really come into play. Only then will ships sail.

Time to rip off the bandaid and do what we all fear but deep down know is going to happen...

Royal IT. Enough said.

There are typically several different versions. Some ride back on a bus, sled dogs or riding a bicycle down for example. Here is a snippet from 2018.

Navigator.

FWIW Biden has never called for a nationwide lockdown. Dr. Fauci has gone on the record this week that he does not support a national shutdown. A mask mandate is very different from a lockdown. Not all political leaders who identify with one party or the other are hard core extreme zealots. In Colorado our democratic governor has gone on the record time and again that he does not want a lockdown, that he's trying to find ways to keep commerce going within the limits of a public health crisis. It's a fine line and all governors are well aware of the ongoing COVID fatigue that is occurring. If you remove the noise that people with agendas introduce you will find most governors are simply trying to do the best for their residents regardless of color labels applied by those with political agendas. That's as political as I care to go but I went there because it does relate to cruising. The simple fact is the virus is not under control in America. America does need to gain better control of the situation. Cruising isn't possible right now not because of politicians but because there is actually a public health emergency or crisis right now in America. Only when that has subsided will cruising resume. The current administration did not give the green light cruising. The conditional sail order is a very small step towards cruises resuming but it's a baby step at best The next administration won't give the green light on day one just like the current administration has not. It's only political to those that are trying to make it that way. I do agree that cruising is several months away in America for all the right reasons.

What kind of grades does a pirate in school hope for? Low seas!

Oasis class is in a league of their own so nothing compares to it on any cruise line. Having said you'll find the roots of Oasis class on Voyager class. Staple features like The Promenade and Studio B Ice Skating all originated on Voyager class. A single flowrider instead of two but the Viking Crown Lounge is open to everyone unless there is a wedding or private event. The helipad is open to the public. Even the concept of a car in the Promenade of a cruise ship started with Voyager class. I love all classes and can find something to love about all cruise ships. I like the diversity that Royal offers across the fleet. For me Voyager class is a sweet spot for a large ship (larger than anything in the Carnival whale tail fleet up to this point) but not so big either. Once the largest cruise ships in the world there is a lot to like about Voyager class and Mariner has a Bamboo Room that you won't find on any Oasis class ship.

Did someone mention Kraken? Congrats @WAAAYTOOO. Safe drive.

At the end of the day, nothing beats a Kraken Lava Flow...

Or maybe this:

I could use a couple of these right now.
