Baked Alaska

Remove the bottom cup holder. It will be not as loud, but still. . .

We love these machines! We bought one for our home and bring our own capsules on the ship. They supply Crema and Dek in the suites.

Your expectations and assumptions about your cabin don't align with what you paid for. You got exactly what you paid for. Sleep in the beds that fit you and your children appropriately or move your deposit to another sailing and wish your family members a "happy anniversary, but sorry, I'm booking a different cruise. I'm not happy with the cabin I reserved for your anniversary sailing." The hospitality industry doesn't care who or how one sleeps in their beds, just that they've got heads on the pillows ($$).

We book the BC exclusively when we are at PDCC, and everytime the CP shows Over the Water Cabanas as sold out, yet there are ALWAYS A LOT of vacant cabanas through the day (every time we have visited).

Yes, but (you knew that was coming, right?) what about the other ship in port that day?

Props to @Sharla! This outstanding TA saved one of our cruises! We experienced the same issue as @Lovetocruise2002 and @TessFromFlorida, plus it was during the Royal Comeback (post-COVID cruising) if I'm not mistaken.

Well, crud, I wonder if that part of the Royal world got hacked, and they reset everyone's password.

Wow! Is this occurring onboard, too? That Royally sucks if that's the case.

You nailed the issue! That's the thing: it wasn't crowded at all with Oasis and a Freedom class ship. There were lots of open loungers and pool loungers.

YES

Yeah, normally I would grab those points, but DS still vacays with us. He will be on his own C&A point pursuit once he has graduated from dental school (that's his plan. We'll see).

Every time we visit CocoCay, we head to the Beach Club. We love the tranquility, the iguanas, chickens, food, but the bar service is just terrible. We order our drinks and 45 minutes later they arrived, with water floaters, as the ice had completely melted. We decided to go to the bar and order our drinks in person. Kid you not, we waited 30 minutes. The bar had maybe 8 people at it, with three bar tenders. They were making drinks orders, probably ours from two hours prior. And yes, we grease the hand with a $5 with every order. I'm starting to think we have SUCKER written on our foreheads. It has been this way every time we've visited the Beach Club the last three visits over 2.5 years. Is there a better place to relax and have reliable bar service at Coco Cay? I mention this on every post-cruise survey.

Fair question, and thank you! My husband and I just made Diamond. My son is two 7 night sailings (in a suite)away from Diamond.

We are considering a cruise where my husband and I would occupy one suite, and our son (age 19) would be in an adjoining/connecting suite. I would be booking it. Could our son's name appear as the sole occupant of the cabin? Or is he still at the age where he would need to have an adult listed on the booking for that cabin? The cruise would be out of North America. If he is at an age where he can be the sole occupant, would he receive triple CA points?

It would be a crime if you didn't.

I noticed this also on Oasis's Boleros (and maybe even the Schooner bat) last month.

Is that Canadian or US dollars?

Ironic. People will gamble in the casino and with their trip. They'll accept the loss in the casino, but not with their trip. At least you can insure one. COME ON, PEOPLE!

Have you heard anything back from your travel insurance. You didn't mention that you didn't have it, so I'm assuming that you are a smart and savvy traveler and had it.

THANK YOU! We love hiking and getting away from the city. What would you recommend instead?

I think we are going to try the Malahat Skywalk and then go to Fisherman's Wharf. We are in port I believe from noon to 10 PM. Can anyone give their review/opinion of the Skywalk?

Thanks! What did you do past Fisherman's Wharf?

What do you recommend we see?
