  1. Will the christening ceremony take place on that sailing?
  2. I saw that ... still weighing my options ... cheaper fare or double points.
  3. OK... what is special about an inaugural cruise?
  4. @firebuck and company... so excited for you. For some reason the anticipation of boarding excites me a lot. It peaks 24 hours before boarding time ? Happy cruising!!!
  5. Can we please have ball park figures of these inaugural bookings?
  6. On the Ovation, there was some confusion as to where the 3-night dining package could be used. At Fish & Ships, I was told that the Unlimited Package can be used there but not the 3-night package. At the Pub, the waiter did not know how to address the matter. He wanted to see what package I had but I actually did not have any. I was just asking for somebody else. What I’m saying is that the crew themselves are not sure about the details and fine print of these packages.
  7. @tzb, I get what you're saying in your reply. I've only been on the Harmony but I know that Oasis Class ships have almost identical construction and design. May I ask what about Oasis of the Seas made you prefer it over the Allure?
  8. I haven't really paid attention to the Classes and deck plans but I had the chance to compare them recently. Now it's clear to me that ships within classes share almost identical features and layouts. So I'll go by my immediate plan of trying at least one ship per class and then, in the long run, try to book as many of the ships on the fleet as I can.
  9. Oh OK ... I'm still have a long way to go before I get to that status, I'm only at Emerald (57 points) Do you still get double points with the reduced supplement?
  10. Can you please enlighten me on these reduced single supplements? I almost always sail alone and I have been paying for the "other non-existent person" in the room.
  11. One time there was a massive nationwide shutdown of Delta's electronic boarding system. I was about to board for an NYC flight when it happened. A few minutes before they totally suspended boarding, they let passengers with paper boarding passes onboard. Man, was I glad I did not trust technology and I had a paper boarding pass. I got to NYC on time but the rest of the Delta passengers suffered long delays at the airports that day.
  12. I only do it for convenience. Last June, I printed my Set Sail Pass for a cruise on the Mariner. But I left it on the printer ?
  13. I tried the “free” water from the dispenser at the Windjammer and the Cafè, it was ok.
  14. It would not be the end of the world IF you don't have your Set Sail Pass with you. They can print it out for you at the port. It will hold you back a few minutes, but you will be able to board.
  15. I admit that was my fault. I should have come on time. But my gripe was about being told that I could not make another reservation, that they were booked till the end of the cruise, when they were not. I did not act like he owed me a new reservation. I even said, “Can I plead with you? Can I grovel?”
  16. This is so cool. I was just asking about an article comparing all the features of the ships fleet wide in a topic I started and then I see this. Awesome!
  17. I’m driven by itinerary myself, as you can see from my previous sailings. I want to see new destinations with each booking. But in the long run, if I can visit new places booking on ships I’ve not been on, then it’s a win-win for me. Actually, the port of origin is also a big factor for me. I try to avoid having to fly to a port. It’s a good thing ships are rotated on a regular basis. Being from Jacksonville, I have 4 ports within driving distance, although I always fly to FLL and MIA. Just from these ports alone, I can get on about a third of the ships on the fleet. If I add the Northeast ones in NJ, NY, MD, I cover more than half the fleet. The long range plan is go on all the Royal ships, but the immediate, attainable goal of going on ships from nearby ports should keep me sailing 1-2 times a year for a good amount of time.
  18. Hoping it will be a nice crew member doing the weigh in, not the guy with the attitude. ?
  19. I have the 2019-2020 Fleet Guide comparing the features and amenities by class. Is there an article comparing all 27 ships on the fleet?
  20. There were weight limits posted according to two height ranges (below 6’ and 6’ & above). I think they are 230lbs and 250lbs respectively. They weighed us before letting us in the briefing room.
