Traveler

In all RC cruises the payment a d the deposits are using dollars, even in a cruise from China.

The only thing they changed in the last 3 years is the wine , now most of it is white beside one red that comes with the filet mignon.

Seems like some kind of a glitch in their system thar don't know to handle GTY .

Have a great cruise and Merry Christmas.

Well B&J is highly overrated, any Italian no name ice cream place is much better, to my opinion. No need brand name just bring good ice cream , such has real pistachio flavor.

Well as I think I know the geopolitics of the region July next year is far enough for thing to be much difference, but I might be wrong . At the end of the day RCL is a business.

With this approach Royal need to cancel all cruises in the Caribbean from July to October as it might be cancel due to hurricane and you don't want to wait for the last minute to see there is a new hurricane . People are buying expensive flights and non refundable hotels ...

Nice to see Royal already know what will be in the region almost one year ahead... Someone was very hurry to pull the trigger.

Haifa port is a secure area. During this conflict Hifa itself was nearly trageted or hit. Regarding after leaving the Israeli water, I will just say that there is an American aircraft carrier cruising near the Israeli shore, another one is already nearby.

Considering that in Israel you have 20% Muslims citizens and (some of the serve in the army) I don't think there is any issues with the crew docking in Hifa.

Dose not look good now , but maybe something change in few days.

I think soon we will hear that Rhapsody which currently Hifa its home port will move to Limassol.

Finally we will be able to say " I went to the crown lounge in the viking crown on the crown of the seas"

Very simple the one that gives to benefit to the current loyalty status I currently have . I guess it will be interesting to have survey to know not just who is loyal but who is going to cruise on other lines and for how many.

Oh forgot about Internet. As expected for Alaska it was very slow and I was glad I did not had to connect using teams or VPN as it would not wor. Also in land , using Tmobile got me very poor connectivity.
