Psycho and Barb

Psycho always brings his CPAP and fills out the special needs form. Sometimes the ext cord and distilled water are in our room waiting on us and other times its not. Never been a big deal...Just asked our room attendant and they have always made it happen. Did one time get a super long heavy duty ext cord but the room attendant always put it away in the morning.

Princess Cruises has not had the best track record. They have experienced the most norovirus outbreaks (and other gastrointestinal illnesses) of any other cruise line over the last decade. https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/surv/gilist.htm

Well yesterday was interesting for us. Unfortunately for us, its not the CDC recommendations stopping us from our 5 Apr cruise...Its Work!!! We are cruising with our son and family. Yesterday our sons boss informed him he would be required to self quarantine for 14 days after he returns. Barb who is an RN found out yesterday also that she will have to self quarantine for 14 days after we get home. I work for Uncle Sam and so far have no requirement to self quarantine...YET. So since Royal has offed the 48 hour cancellation rule...We are going to chill and see what develops. Then decide if we want to cancel or spend the extra leave.

On the Allure last year they had a Cigar under the stars event. It was listed in the daily planner and I believe it was every night thing.

The biggest problem is there seems to be no consistence on what is allowed and what is not allowed. Anything with a 110v port may be confiscated by the ports contract security during check-in one cruise and not the next cruise. If its in our luggage it may or may not require a trips to the naughty room...Just depends on who is doing the scanning. Since just about all of our electronics are USB rechargeable, we only us this USB charger hub and have never had a problem. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-PowerPort-iPhone-Galaxy/dp/B00P936188/ref=sxin_2_ac_d_rm?ac_md=0-0-dXNiIGh1YiBjaGFyZ2Vy-ac_d_rm&cv_ct_cx=usb+hub+charger&keywords=usb+hub+charger&pd_rd_i=B00P936188&pd_rd_r=f99b56ae-dfe4-4b71-ba18-d5fc7aa82650&pd_rd_w=E0WeQ&pd_rd_wg=i6Bqr&pf_rd_p=ec111f65-4a46-499c-be78-f47997212bd0&pf_rd_r=EQM5WJNPFQDYYVEQ0977&psc=1&qid=1583249549

Barb and I seem to kick each other several times during a cruise because we always only get one device. Its more funny than an annoyance for us. But can see how it could be a problem. Grandson asked for my code last year...Didn't happen but I did let him use my iPad to text some of his friends.

We have always filled it out and had it ready to use but the customs lines always seems to move fast for us...Might just be luck of the draw. Now the Facial Recognition at the Port of Miami is truly awesome and fast...Hope they install it in all ports

We try to be the first off the ship and hurry to Nellie's Beach...Its our favorite spot. Close to a restroom and a bar...Our two requirements. It does get full so get there early.

@Brobbins246 I wished we would of been able to do as you were able to do...Sure would of saved us some money. We had about the same situation as you last year on the allure. Us in one room and our son, wife and grandson in room next to ours...Our reservations were linked but were two different reservations. We tried but were told we couldn't include any photos in our package if any of the pictures had my son, wife or grandson in them because they were not staying in our stateroom. They cited the disclaimer we listed above but the person we were dealing with specifically referred to "The following are not included in print and/or digital photo packages: Photos of others in your party not travelling in your stateroom" We even tried running it up the food chain but the supervisor and manager agreed with the fine print. Maybe we got bad info...Wouldn't be the first time from Royal. Hopefully the OP will have better luck on their cruise.

We sure hope they don’t screw up Labadee...We like it just the way it is! More choices in food would be a great option. Use to love Cococay when it had the chickens running around the island...So small and beautiful

No. The only photos covered under the package are persons in the room of the person who purchased the photo package. This is what is listed under the term and conditions of the photo package Digital and Print photo packages are sold on a per stateroom basis only and photos are linked to staterooms based on the guests travelling in that stateroom. Photos of other guests not travelling in your stateroom will be linked to their own stateroom. The following are not included in print and/or digital photo packages: Photos of others in your party not travelling in your stateroom; Group, Wedding, Quinces, Private Studio photography and other special occasion photography;

🤔🤔🤔 Does that mean the ship will be not sailing for two months? That’s a lot of time to clean and disinfect.

We might look into just having someone stop by and check on them a couple of times a day. We have doggie doors so they can go in and out to the backyard to do their business...The majority of their time is spent laying around and sleeping 😴

We have stayed on both decks and to be honest we can’t remember any difference or preference. As other have said we prefer a room close to the elevators now...Psycho’s knees don’t handle stairs well anymore.
