Proof of measles vaccine now required for Rotan
MaryCS62 replied to steverk's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
considering how many years ago I was vaccinated - might be hard for me to do it -
DH has a multi USB port for both US & European outlets. I also will have both a scooter & a piece of medical equipment that will require an outlet - the scooter will only require a few hours hopefully, and the medical equipment is only plugged in for an hour. Is the European outlet in the cabin or the bathroom?

as that was 50 years ago.. yeah - although i was in my teens then - 1973/74 is the first year i remember listening to the radio - before that, it was my parent's music from the 40's
-
Yeah, that's what I'm planning - but we're only a party of 3, and we may not all want to eat every meal - for example, I signed up for izumi sushi lunch, but pretty sure DH won't be joining me & DD - but then he might not have lunch at all that day.

Getting boarding time without passport info
MaryCS62 replied to MrDan's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
try the website - although I don't remember if you can just pick boarding time and do everything else later. Other option is pick BC + DL, - then change it later to passport -
Port Liberty Cruise Terminal Parking
MaryCS62 replied to Kmcdmfma's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
You'ld think it would be by now - it started back in January. We didn't use it because we got dropped off and picked up, but I know there were a lot of problems initially with people not knowing what to do. I'm annoyed because you have to pay for the app as well -
Liberty of seas freestyle machines
MaryCS62 replied to Leroyr55's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Liberty was supposed to get amped, then Covid happened. Supposed to get them next year, I think. -
coco cay has pavements all over the place - it's very easy to get around for wheelchairs and scooters - the only issue would be the beach itself, and I don't know where the cabanas are located precisely. I have a scooter, and plan to get to the beach club early enough to claim a lounger by the pool, and not on the beach itself. I've seen youtube videos of the beach club, but don't remember the cabanas.

As I always say, whenever there are problems w/ the computer at work - "Ain't technology wonderful??"

unless i'm in the mood for a hot breakfast, on Oasis, Park Cafe is my go to for my coffee and some mix of bagel, fruit, muesli (I have an inordinate fondness for that stuff!). I then find a spot in Central park and enjoy the quiet. If i go to Windjammer, it's to grab some of the fruit/nut bread (another guilty pleasure) and bring that somewhere else to eat.

Wind Jammer - Dining While on Loud Speaker
MaryCS62 replied to jedooley's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I have the same problem at work - in the shared lunch lounge, people have no problem having loud conversations while someone else is trying to have a quiet break. I listen to audiobooks (with earbuds!) while I eat, and sometimes have to turn my volume up to block them out. If I get a call and can't excuse myself, I make it as quick as possible, or tell the other person I will call them back. If I have a call to make (and I don't have privacy, I find someplace else to go -
no power strips at all. You can bring a european converter to change the european plug to a USA plug, as long as it doesn't allow more than one outlet in the plug. Multiport USB chargers are allowed
-
bring sealed packages of what you'd like + sandwich baggies, then mix and match however you like
-
unless they are in sealed packages - we bring protein or granola bars, especially when traveling with someone with dietary restrictions
-
last time we stopped there, we took the disney shuttle to meet friends who live about an hour north of there - we got to hang out for a few hours, so worth the price for us.

Cape Liberty parking/transportation dilemma
MaryCS62 replied to RCIfan1912's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
don't know the weight, but i've heard people talk about inflatable booster seats - haven't used them in a while, so don't remember the age/wt for tx from car seat to booster -
Cape Liberty parking/transportation dilemma

depending on the amount of luggage you bring - is Uber or Lyft an option? -
Switching reservation back from TA to direct booking
MaryCS62 replied to EJK's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
we originally booked on our own, then several years back decided to use a TA from AAA - at first it was ok, but then COVID came, and with all the cancellations and rebookings and more cancellations - it got very complicated, then they transferred it to a different AAA TA, and she didn't know what to do. My DH kept a spreadsheet of all of our cruise credits, with the extra percentage they were giving us, and then we finally had a cruise scheduled for Jan 2022, which we had to cancel last minute - one of my DD'S had caught COVID just before Christmas, and so we couldn't go - more cruise credit nightmare. Then we had to cancel Aug 2022- a B2B on Oasis, because same DD was sick in the hospital, and eventually passed away. The problem w/ the cruise credits escalated - because she was the primary person in the room (we got a room for us, and a room for the girls), she had the bulk of the FCC. Luckily, they decided to allow us to use her FCC for ourselves and other DD. Somewhere in there, we switched to Jacki from MEI, and she's done a great job. We do research the ships and give her cabin numbers we like, and she offers us other options as well, which sometimes have better prices. Just the other day, I emailed her with a question about our upcoming Liberty cruise, and she replied with a BTW, the price went down, so she saved us several hundred dollars. -
would also recommend you get your drink at a bar PRIOR to going to dinner if it is the MDR - it can take a while to get one otherwise. If specialty - if there is a bar in the restaurant, then you will usually get it quickly
-
yup, same - although we got in every night except night one - the greeter actually allowed us to book 2 days in advance, but we usually got a later time than we wanted, but it was always an enjoyable evening and excellent food and service

Thank you!!!

Wine brought to the table question
MaryCS62 replied to at52299's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Then I may bring my well sealed tumbler, and sip it from that - If i don't finish it, it goes back in the fridge -
Wine brought to the table question
MaryCS62 replied to at52299's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
DH & I are now Diamond, and on our last cruise, we rarely went over our 4 drink limit, including getting wine with dinner. We had 2 bottles with us, and never opened them. Going in July, and were planning to bring the 2 bottles again, but were planning to pour into some kind of bottle or cup that will seal (I use a scooter, so carrying the glass isn't an option for me, and doesn't allow for refills if wanted). He seemed to think that if they see you pouring your own wine into your own glass at the table, it will invoke a corkage fee. Thoughts?
