    Ray got a reaction from Neesa in Fly a day early?   
    EasyJet!!! You may consider flying in a week early just so you meet your luggage lol 
    Joking aside never fly in on the day of a cruise. You can use Skyscanner to check the history of your flight! See if its always late arriving at destination or if its cancelled on a regular basis.

    Ray reacted to smokeybandit in Tipping questions   
    You're really not obligated to tip anyone beyond the included stuff.
     
    Though plenty do. And how much anyone else tips shouldn't be a factor in how much you decide to tip. It's purely a personal experience decision.

    Ray got a reaction from ChessE4 in Mykonos - which port?   
    Ship tenders at Santoroni,to get to Mykonos you will need to take a 2 to 3 hr ferry trip as its a completely seperate island roughly 130 miles away.

    Ray got a reaction from JEH106 in Total disappointment and waste of my time and money.   
    Reading the OG post it was all about how unfair it was that she wasn't in a balcony cabin! OG poster probably lied to staff about her ex friend being suicidal just to get her removed from cabin and she got back into it. OG poster says that even after discussing with security she then again asked for a balcony cabin! So the cabin was more important than her ex friends health.

    After reading the one long paragraph 🕵️‍I'm taking it that OG poster is looking for some kind of refund or Fcc due to the fact she had an argument with her ex best friend before even boarding and it ruined her cruise! 
    Unbelievable 😄 
    At least she didn't say she was pinnacle  🤣

    Pretty sure you actually commented on it...something like Wow or something like that, then under your reply someone said the post you had replied to  had been reported! Fact is It wasnt offensive!
    As i said it was just a poorly worded comparison that if you just read the the one post you wouldn't understand and would think it was offensive, you had to read a few posts back to get the proper meaning of post then it became clear

    Ray got a reaction from NotPayinExtra in Change in Frequency of Housekeeping Service   
    Yes i did write it wasn't offensive!!
    Because i read it as someone not involved in any argument and understood what it meant! 
    You would have read it blinkered by previous posts and not fully understood it and yes you would have found it offensive because thats what you were looking for.
    It happens! No harm done! At the end of the day not getting bed turned down at night is not a big issue! Pretty sure 1000s of people in Turkey would just be happy to have an actual bed! 
    Think about how trival these little things are compared to whats actual going on the world!

    Ray reacted to BennyandBo in Change in Frequency of Housekeeping Service   
    Yes, I said Wow! Really???
    And I read it 12 times. It was wildly offensive to me. And I read every post. 
    I was extremely offended. You don't get to tell me what I can find offensive and what I cannot. 
    You literally just wrote Quote: "Fact is it wasn't offensive!".

    Ray reacted to jticarruthers in Changing protocols for transatlantic cruises   
    Reminds me of my first flight back to the US post 9-11 ... the one where the "newly trained inspector" took the time to painstakingly read to me all of the reasons that it would be ok for me to be returning to the US with traces of explosives, gunpowder, nuclear material, toxic chemicals, etc. 
    My numerous attempts to explain that my answer was no and I didn't want to hear the list went unheeded as he seemed to believe it was required for me to listen to the entire list before I could affirm that I was not a trained chemical engineer returning from mining nuclear material with explosives.
    To be clear I did not have traces of any of those things on/with me but that didn't seem to be relevant either.

    Not sure RC are 100% to blame! 
    Isn't it a person's responsibility to check these things as well? 
    If someone was booking flights to a country on the otherside of the world would they just book it and not bother check out information about the country they are visiting? Or would it be more sensible to search google and find out about that country? It's the same with a cruise! You don't book a cruise without first doing research into each port of call! Things to do! Transport! Vaccine requirements! Not just for Covid as countries all over the world have had certain Vaccine requirements in place for decades.
    Only Last month Germany finally lifted the need to wear masks on long journeys! At the same time a number of countries reintroduced the need for covid tests if travelling from china. 
    Rules have not gone away! The level of requirements are lowered or lifted depending on whats happening at the time! RC and no other company have any say on this
    What would happen if a country reintroduced the requirement for all to be vaccinated before entering 2 days before a TA docked?  My guess would be a long que at guest customer services with people blaming RC for allowing none vaccinated to board while demanding a full refund and OBC

    I don’t believe anyone here can answer that question. 
     
    In addition, I believe Royal Caribbean is following the rules they have to based on the places they sail to, not making their own vaccine regulations.

    Ray got a reaction from Morganno in Adults over 18 in Europe is it only Disney that requires the parents present for alcohol drinks?   
    Not quite true as in the UK a person can legally drink alcohol at 16 however there are rules attached to this! 
    if you're 16 or 17 and accompanied by an adult, you can drink (but not buy) beer, wine or cider with a meal. If you're 16 or under, you may be able to go to a pub (or premises primarily used to sell alcohol) if you're accompanied by an adult

    Ray reacted to mac66 in Explorer or Oasis. Which is best? First time cruisers   
    I would do Explorer first then work my way up to Oasis class. Gives you someone look forward to.
    We did Explorer for our kid's first cruise. Then a couple other ships then a couple Oasis class ships. The kids, all now grown up still talk about their first cruise as their favorite.
