Kinda like a mystery movie. "By the end of this sailing, at least one of you will be dead." Cue Vincent Price.

Canadian Kids denied going back to Canada.
Baked Alaska replied to Rene Desmarais's topic in Other travel
I'm dubious on this: https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/26542-vancouver-preparing-for-record-year-in-cruise.html?fbclid=IwAR04_CVurM_MN7o3yjZW1V38vja1EV2bXETkErMf8m1dwRU2a7-G44-h4jc -
Canadian Kids denied going back to Canada.
Baked Alaska replied to Rene Desmarais's topic in Other travel
+1 on this although it would screw-up our flights from YVR, but I can fix that. I can't fix stupid (look'n at you, Trudeau). I hope they make up their mind soon and stay consistent for the entire season. -
If you look in the back on one of the Aqua Suite Balconies, there are a few people wearing masks on their faces. I do believe that is a current picture.

Given all this BS, I wonder how this will play out with Vancouver debark at the conclusion of Alaska Southbound sailings. @Rene Desmaraiswishing you and your family a rapid end to this situation you find yourselves in. -
Interestingly, RC will introduce a contract to a minor and expect it to remain enforce it when a person under the age of consent has their cruise cancelled by the adult that purchased the faire. Namely, RC "refunds" the fare as FCC in the name of each cruiser, even to people (children) who are not old enough to enforce a contract (as opposed to the individual who paid for the fare). It is curious to me how Royal can do this. Even where the ship is registered, there are laws regarding the age of contractual consent.

At-home covid tests now covered by insurance
Baked Alaska replied to smokeybandit's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Anthem BC/BS is only covering them if you are sick and they will only send you one test kit per person. Also, they will only send it if your sick. It is not for travel, etc. They will not cover it if you buy it on your own. -
Cancelling After Final Payment Questions
Baked Alaska replied to Va4fam's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I am wondering about one in our travel group who is unvaxxed and chooses to remain so. We booked our upcoming cruise before the vax requirement was put in place by Royal. He is my son's friend and I've paid for his deposit. I'm hoping that they will refund his deposit to me rather than issuing FCC in his name. I don't see Royal doing away with the vax requirement by this summer. -

Thought of another name: Coral of the Seas. -

Oasis Six - Naming Survey
Baked Alaska replied to twangster's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
I like Concerto of the Seas. Or Sonata of the Seas. Those are my suggestions (that they didn't ask me for). -
Favorite strategy to get the lowest price for a suite?
Baked Alaska replied to Matt's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Suites, at least for the last 2 years have been NRD. -
Their Caliente Carrot drink is soooo good. That'll kill whatever ails ya.

What is the best food you've had at a port?
Baked Alaska replied to JennaRCB's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
The taco offerings at Maya Chan in Costa Maya were nothing g short of spectacular. The welcoming atmosphere and the massage by Memo just added to the perfect day. -

The Vitality cafe on Oasis had fruit soups, albeit in a glass with a straw. Yes, a smoothie.

1) Buy TWO proctored test kits per person. 2) Keep expectations in check. 3) Commit to being flexible. YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME! Any break in one of those three legs and it won't work. That's is my advice. Currently, we are on our last day of a 7 nt. OASIS OS Western Caribbean and have had a fabulous time.

I agree with your perspective. I bid near minimum for the Star Class suites available to bid on. However, I still agree that we didn't "win", we were awarded the opportunity to pay more. It's all in the verbiage. The way they figure the succession of dollars down the staterooms line was what dictated our "winning."

Oasis: House band venue change
Baked Alaska replied to tonyfsu21's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
You will have a great time. The crew has been fantastic! This has been a great sailing for everyone who keeps their expectations in check. We may not get all of our oompaloompas, but maybe next sailing. -
Oasis: House band venue change
Baked Alaska replied to tonyfsu21's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'm hoping for Led Zeppelin KASHMIR! Calling Jason Bonham! -
Oasis: House band venue change
Baked Alaska replied to tonyfsu21's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Pheonix is the name of the band. I concur, this has been an absolutely fantastic sailing. Our bartender said about 3500 sailing due to last minute cancelations. I hope we make Costa Maya tomorrow. I'm headed to Maya Chan. DH AND DS headed out for more flyfishing. I hope my flight isn't canceled on Sunday back to the Ozarks. -
Deciding between Crown loft suite or owners suite.
Baked Alaska replied to Goldie 2001's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
If you can do steps, go for the Crown Loft suite. NOTHING compares to deck 17. If you cannot do steps, then go where you like the action with the Owners Suite. -
Love our Genie, Shane! He has been AMAZING!!! He did send us an email about 48 hours before embarkation in Miami. We didn't receive the email with the qurky question, but no matter. He hasn't missed a beat. He may be moving to the Wonder in time for our RCG group cruise! Star suites are already sold out, so bummer, but we are still in #Suite17XX #TeamCK!
