MaryCS62 reacted to AshCruises in Adding to cart failed, so please try again.
Glad to report about 2 hours after I made this post, the error message was no longer appearing and I was able to book my entire group at the original time I was hoping for. I hope it clears up for you @Sealegs!

MaryCS62 reacted to KristiZ in US State Department Announces New Online Passport Renewal - Limits Apply
It's awkward wording for sure. What they mean is that it had to have been a 10-year passport, not the 5-year ones that kids get. The passport itself can be expired, as long as it wasn't issued before 2009. Does that make sense?

MaryCS62 got a reaction from SplashOfWater in Taste of Caribbean tasting experience
I did it last year on my March 2023 Anthem cruise - I hadn't bothered with the Dx drink package, so it was a fun way to try several cocktails.

A lazy river.

MaryCS62 reacted to WAYNO in St. Thomas Excursions for Limited Mobility
I am somewhat mobility limited also. Wherever we go, I always book a low-impact sightseeing excursion, be it a bus, shuttle, taxi, surrey...whatever.
The last time in St. Thomas/St. John, we booked a surrey tour in St. John, via a ferry ride from St. Thomas. This tour in St. John was one of the best excursions I've ever done.
There are many tour services available on both islands, but I've found a surrey to be my favorite. And what I'm calling a surrey is a pickup truck or chassis-cab with bus seats and a surrey top. There are running boards the full length of this vehicle to allow easy boarding. And once onboard, there are lots of hand-holds.
We purchased this tour from Royal, however there are many similar tours available at the port.

MaryCS62 got a reaction from Ryan79 in Distilled water
best to put the request in anyway - in case they use it to order the supplies ahead of time. I have frequently needed, for both myself & my daughter, various supplies, which were almost never in the cabin on embarkation, but always got brought in when requested

MaryCS62 got a reaction from David Bennett in Oasis unlimited dining package
it allows a certain dollar amount for that single daily visit - it should say in the description. It also allows Johnny Rockets lunch/dinner (breakfast there is currently free) . It also covers 150 central park, which is more than worth it in my opinion.

MaryCS62 got a reaction from Ampurp85 in RoyalUp Winning Bids
I hate answering this, because we didn't get to go -
January 9, 2022, Anthem of the Seas - had 4 in a jr suite - me, DH, and 2 adult DD's (one of whom was disabled) - bid on & got a 2 BR Grand suite -- that we had to give up the day before the cruise, because older DD still tested positive for Covid, despite being exposed before Christmas (more than 2 weeks earlier!!), and so we couldn't go.😪😪😪
Don't remember exactly what we bid - $600 total? It would have been well worth it, as we would have gotten back what we paid for Voom and the DX drink package

MaryCS62 reacted to ScottD in Free ice from Freestyle machine?
That I don't know, but on Oasis there were always the free drink dispensers right next to the freestyle machines, usually one or two filled with water and one with a juice or lemonade

MaryCS62 got a reaction from melmar02 in Free ice from Freestyle machine?
depends on the machine. I forget which ship I was on, (Anthem?) but there were 2 machines side by side by Sorrentos- 1 had a water option, one didn't.

MaryCS62 got a reaction from JLMoran in How has the food quality been recently?
Was on Vision mid March - some portions were tiny ( 2 small pieces fried chicken, maybe 1/4 - 1/3 cup mashed potatoes, small vegetable servings, shrimp cocktail - 4 watery shrimp), and others quite large - Caribbean chicken was 1/2 a chicken, plus large side dishes. but unfortunately I didn't care for the spices, so didn't eat much. I actually can't eat large quantities anymore, & I never felt I needed more food than I got, although I know I could have.
Weirdly, 1 thing I noticed was that certain things needed salt - anything without a specific spice profile (ie, the above mentioned Caribbean chicken)- & I rarely salt anything except potatoes and macaroni. Lobster night, I tasted the rice & veg sides - ending up spooning a little of the melted butter on it and salting it as well.

MaryCS62 got a reaction from Neesa in Laundry options on Oasis of The Seas?
That's why, when we did the special, it was socks, underwear and T-shirts. In addition, since it was a jr suite and had a tub, DD was able to hand wash quite a few things, then we set them by using chair clips on the balcony chairs

MaryCS62 got a reaction from RCIfan1912 in Odyssey cape liberty Jan 2025 11 night southern
Hmm - was looking at that one for early Jan (have to plan around hubby's school schedule). I can't usually do the regular pools (knee troubles makes it difficult to use the ladders) so my only option for pool is the Solarium, usually. Didn't know Odyssey didn't have the covered pool that Anthem did (have done 2 on her, figured we'd like Odyssey too)

MaryCS62 got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in Adding Someone To The Cruise
I think it depends on 2 things - 1, there is a window of time (I think 3 days prior, but don't quote me on that) at which changes cannot be made, and 2, as long as the primary person in the room stays the same, it is ok. Never done it myself, this is based on others' stories.

MaryCS62 reacted to Carpe Diem in Where are the muster videos in the app?
The "SAFETY" icon will appear at the bottom the home page of the app at 8:00 am on the morning of the cruise. After you click on the SAFETY icon, you can then watch the life jacket video (and click on all names/confirm for all guests in your party) and listen to the emergency horn. The life jacket instructions and the emergency horn will then be marked "Complete" in green. All that is left is to visit your assigned muster station when you get on the ship so they can scan the barcode on your Set Sail Pass/Boarding Pass. Bon voyage!
