This is not fake news. The person first posted on FB and was told to report her. He showed the picture to RCCL staff and they figured out which cabin she was in. They confronted her and then she was ordered to stay in her cabin until the next port. She was escorted off of the Allure in Nassau Bahamas this morning and is permanently banned from any RCL (corporate wide) ship.

We have done Alaska twice (one was a cruise/tour) and we have done NE/Canada once. If you love outdoor adventure you cannot beat Alaska but if you love history you NE/Canada outdoes Alaska. So both are great depending on what you are looking for. Also, take into consideration that next year will be the 400 year anniversary for the landing of the Mayflower. If you sail from Boston or have Boston as a port there will be all sorts of extra things going on because of this major historical event.

The Serenade of the Seas (Radiance class) is going through the Panama Canal next May in order to transition to the Alaska/Australia markets. This is the largest ship that Royal has sent through as far as I have been able to research. All others have been Vision class or smaller. I have thought and still do think that this is a trial run for Royal's larger ships. If so then the west coast 2021 plan could be Voyager class or larger if all goes well next May.

Thank you!

None of the Radiance class ships balconies can be connected (we have had connecting rooms on them twice). I believe only connecting cabins on the Voyager class can have their balconies connected. On the Oasis class and Quantum class side by side cabins can have their balconies connected. So it depends on the ship you are on.

Here is what it looked like:

Received an email this morning for a loyal customer Royal Caribbean survey. It looks legit but I wanted to know if anyone here has also received this email before clicking on the link.

I want to thank y'all for putting a smile on my face and laughter in my heart today!

Of course he is, Matt has the best cruise advice of anyone out there!

And once again they are going to take out the iconic classy Champagne Bar and replace it with the useless Bionic Bar. I assume it is to be able to charge the extra for drinks and not pay a bartender.

The Bionic Bar was a complete bust on Ovation when I was on her in May. Very sorry to see the Champagne Bar (my personal favorite) being replaced by something that should be going away fleet wide.

That is the exact one. I just checked my orders.

We got them on Amazon.

I do all of the research for us and our friends we go cruising with. I research cruises and come up with 3 or 4 (usually 18 months out) then we all decide which cruise (well really me and my friend's husband). After we decide on the cruise I research shore excursions and set up a spreadsheet with 3 or 4 excursions at each port and we "all" decide on the excursions and book them together. I research their airfare and our airfare (we live in 2 different cities now) and I also research hotels and again we "all" decide on which one to stay in the night(s) before. They all call me the travel agent and always ask me what is scheduled each day and when. LOL

You made me feel very old. Your husband turns 40 in 2021 and we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary in 2021. LOL
