If they had individuals of Italian descent working with the "Italian" restaurant menus, this would never happen.

Underrated - NSA desserts - many nights this is a go-to for me even though I don't "need" to do so Underrated - many vegetarian options, especially appetizers VERY underrated - nightly Indian food options (meat and vegetarian) - on our next sailing, it appears from the menus currently posted that this will be my choice in the MDR more nights than not (lots of lamb)

If you're a wine drinker (or not), take advantage of the Captain's Club Wine Tasting. The one I did included five wines plus a flat alcoholic grape soda (white zinfandel).

Love the description of the Baked Oysters - "broiled oysters..." Somebody didn't proofread. (I'm guessing Royal missed it and @PG Cruiser just posted the actual menu verbiage)

Which will be refunded anyway.

Three possible scenarios come to mind: 1 - Do you have past cruises that are missing but the points are potentially there? (Royal IT at play) 2 - Did you have multiple cruises under the old system of one point per cruise? (Three seven night cruises showing one point each would account for 22 because they gave an extra point to everyone based on some long-forgotten logic) 3 - Do you have a qualifying spouse who happens to have 120 points? (My cruises, including three as noted above, add up to 131 points. My account shows me as having 249 because that's what my wife has earned)

I've added the 16 days out to my tracker for key dates on upcoming cruises (previously included final payment due date, check in opens date, and luggage tags (usually available) date).

Your Mileage May Vary

Until we re-booked at a lower price than the original booking and DID get the double points.

Not wording - just wrong. The cruises associated with every account show this way, regardless of how it's booked. Try to link it and it will show that it is already linked with your account.

As mentioned by @SpeedNoodles and @Atlantix2000, don't sweat this small detail. As many, myself included, can attest, the right zone being marked on your luggage tag is no guarantee that your bags will end up anywhere near your stateroom anyway. More often than not, they're within a door or two. But there are times where it feels like you're playing "Marco Polo" or "Where's Waldo?" in searching for a stray bag.

And when you try to link the reservation, it tells you that the reservation is already linked. Royal IT strikes again.

"Non-alcoholic spirit" - what an oxymoron.

At least it wasn't like most hotel clocks (in the ones that still HAVE clocks) - off by 23 minutes or 37 minutes or 1:06.

Royal IT system clock isn't synched to the real world.

Happens all the time. Lots of people trying to check in as soon as it's available to chase the early boarding times overwhelms the system.

Royal avoiding the work of doing this might be a big part of why GTYs are getting slower.

Change the stateroom number on the tags or (better) get new blank tags and put the correct number on them (this way they're not pre-sorted to a particular section of the ship if your new stateroom is in a very different area).

That makes sense. The Royal Caribbean account for purposes of using the app is not the same as a Crown & Anchor account. Once you know your C&A number, you can add it to your RC account profile.

I hit the Windjammer as soon as it opens (I've had "washy washy" folks ask if I am okay if I show up ten minutes after it opens rather than being at the front of the waiting for the door to open line). I get my table of choice and plenty of fresh food. About the time I'm done with my breakfast, it's time to grab an appropriate danish and several pieces of properly soft bacon to take back to the cabin for my wife, along with her fru-fru morning coffee.

We haven't sailed much since becoming D+, but we haven't seen this perk show up on any of those sailings.

There are certain items both my wife and I are fairly sure to order when they appear (moreso her). In general, I do not decide until sitting at the table based on what speaks to me at the time. Anytime lamb is an option, I will order it. Lamb one of the few foods I have found to (nearly) always be better on cruise ships than when I prepare something similar myself. The other thing cruise kitchens do better than I am capable of producing is Indian food (it helps greatly that many of the chefs are Indian) so often that is the menu option that jumps off the page for me.

There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator. Only a fraction of people will find this funny.

One final notification last night thanking us for our patience with the wave of notifications.

My wife didn't get her block for 140. Follow up with C&A didn't help. Follow up with LA on a later trip got no action. Follow up with the LA on her cruise where 210 was reach (with block delivery option letter properly received) re-verified the information for 140 but nothing came of it. This September is MY first cruise since 210 was reached - I plan to be a pest about it. If the LA's response isn't sufficient, I will request that they call the C&A office directly and put me on the line.
