    No travel agent should charge you for their services for booking a cruise. Period.

    I'd warn you weather this time of year in Florida is extremely difficult to predict accurately. It probably lists thunderstorms every day in Florida. Doesn't mean it will actually

    Don't forget you will have gratuities charged to your account unless you pre-pay them.

    I always add a little extra gratuity on the specialty dinning, so that goes on your account.
    Get a couple of 8x10 photos, they are $19.99 each.
    Buy yourself our your spouse something nice from one of the stores.

    VinceC reacted to melmar02 in He didn't say no!   
    DH and I have been on 2 RC cruises, and we are taking our kids on their first in 39 days. We've been dry docked for almost 9 years, so I need to say that again...39 DAYS! I've been joking here and there since we booked (a long 9 months ago) that I'm going to book another cruise. He didn't unload the dishwasher like he said he would - I should book another cruise. Kids were in our bed all night because of nightmares - we should book another cruise. Know what will fix your cold honey? - another cruise! Etc. His mother's birthday is in February, and I've been saying we should pay for her to join us on one. You know make it a Christmas present or birthday present, and there just happens to be a 5 day on Enchantment in February that would be perfect for us. BUT, he hasn't wanted to book another until the kids go on their first, and we can be sure it's a good fit for them (DD is Autistic and has Generalized Anxiety Disorder). She's really excited though, and I'm ready to book them all!
    Well, I texted him some of the new sale prices today with, "I officially lost 20 pounds, guess what I want as a reward?". He responded, "Let's call Mom and talk about it when I get home"!!! I about fell out of my chair! I was thinking I would just go buy a new pair of pants! I guess now that we are getting close and he's also getting excited that it doesn't sound like such a bad idea. Wish me luck as I try add another sailing to our calendar tonight! ?

    VinceC reacted to AshleyDillo in SetSail Pass & SeaPass Card   
    The one in the Royal App will work.  Make sure you screen shot it just in case your internet is acting wonky when you get to the port and won't let you get to the barcode.
    SeaPass and photo ID when getting off the ship.  SeaPass proves you belong in the port, photo ID to match the name on the SeaPass.

    VinceC reacted to Matt in Evening Attire (recommended vs actual)   
    The real answer is none of us are arbiters of what you can or cannot wear to dinner. Royal Caribbean leaves the rules purposefully vague and rarely enforces the rules they do have, so in reality you have a lot of latitude in what to wear.

    VinceC reacted to Ray in Hangover Prevention   
    Finally a subject i am an expert on lol 
    Best cure for a hangover is not to get one :) 
    (1)  know your limits and know when to stop!
    (2) know what you can and cannot drink! i cannot touch whisky, can drink any other spirit but even just 1 whisky makes me sick, same with Guinness, i can have 2 pints but a 3rd gives me a thumping headache in behind the eyes next day. 
    (3) Drink milk in the morning and before going to bed ( order the free room service breakfast and get extra milk to keep in refrigerator) drinking milk helps keep your potassium level up, eating Banana's or having a Banana milkshake is just a good.
    (4) Dont mix your drinks that much
    (5) pace yourself, you dont have to knock them back in seconds
    (6) If all of the above fail and you wake up feeling rough then you need a hair of the dog. 
    (7) if hair of the dog fails then just get hammered again that way you wont noticed the hangover from the day before :)
