Roatan isn't part of "real Honduras" and they'll tell you as much when you visit the port.

But DEFINITELY take THIS piece of advice.

Or because they only continue to offer the excursions that get a bunch of "This was wonderful. Everyone should do this tour." responses?

Cruises are the only time I get to watch cricket, so that's a good thing.

Especially if you're in a stateroom with a balcony.

If used onboard, it will be applied to whichever individual(s) received the original credit. If used in the Cruise Planner, it can be applied to any or all members of the group as you see fit.

I have yet to EVER find a Kummelweck sandwich available anywhere on any Royal ship I have sailed. Not sure it's really a "thing" based on my experience.

You may need to log into your Captain's Club account, remove both loyalty numbers (save the change). Then put them back and save again. That's how to get your C&A nights to update if the system doesn't do it correctly and it worked for CC status when ours were wrong.

My best advice, based on cruises with our granddaughter at 11 months and with our grandson at 20 months is this: enjoy the trip from THEIR perspective. Don't plan too much and just let them lead you. And expect lots of attention from the crew - they miss their kids and will enjoy interacting with yours.

An interesting question that would surprise me if the answer is anything other than "No, maam. The gratuity on beverages is always required. Additional gratuities paid to the bar staff are always appreciated."

So, so true. Some of the excursions called "strenuous" are less taxing than using the stairs to go up one level on the ship. Others truly are difficult for all but the most fit among us.

Is that available at the same price as MDR?

Every specialty restaurant. We choose to skip the added-cost food options. We also determine which elevator will take us to the medical facility but plan to avoid it as often as possible.

The 3-night weekend cruises have less in common with the 4-night Monday departures than 5-nighters have with 7-nighters.

That breeze is typically very close to whatever speed the ship is moving. In your face headed forward, at your back headed aft.

I've been to both places wearing a suit and tie - after church but before going home on a Sunday. I have not, however, done so in a tuxedo or a cocktail dress.

Speaking to the highlighted part of your statement The attire range seen in the MDR is like an Applebees or a Cracker Barrel. I go to such places in shorts and sandals much more often than I do wearing long pants and closed-toe shoes (the advantage of not considering it cold unless it's below 50 and either wet or windy). The MDR, although a shadow of its former self, conveys an atmosphere much classier than those establishments. MDR feels like it should at least precipitate khakis, a polo shirt, and decent shoes rather than what I wear to take the grandkids to a playground. If I don't feel like dressing sufficiently for going in to the office, I just go to the WJ which IS more like Golden Corral.

Because the OP's significant other and children might read this forum? Remember, the OP said the rest of the family has already gone to bed.

The first Wawa in Eastern North Carolina opened on Monday. It's right on the way to my office and conveniently on the right side of the road for easy in/out. I've been enjoying the free coffee during the grand opening week. The second location should open between now and the first of the year. That one will be convenient for a quick stop on the way home from work.

I think the OP's issue is with there being a published "dress code" which isn't followed or enforced. Get rid of (most of) the "dress code," and just establish as policy what's already being allowed to happen anyway.

I have some prime real estate 40 miles from Miami that I'd like to sell you.

This is what we always do. No need to do the detailed part right away - just get the best possible boarding window for your needs.

Anchorage Airport? (It could be any number of places in Alaska, but that looks familiar so I have one other guess if not there).

Only where the fans are unruly enough on average that the bottle becoming a projectile is a significant concern.

I waited for the comments that told me everything I "missed" by not reading the gibberish.
