PG Cruiser

I just watched the interview on the Today Show. How I wish someone had advised the parents not to do this interview. It will only expose them to undue scrutiny in today’s social media climate. It also saddens me that they have not taken responsibility for this accident. They kept blaming “the open window in the kid zone” which in my opinion could not have been accessible to an 18-month old child.

You learn something new everyday

How were the 70's and 80's parties?

Thanks for uploading the Compasses!

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

I am sailing with several families on the Mariner soon. One of the families noticed that the names on the RCCL edocs don't match the names on their passports. They called RCCL and they were told to contact their travel agent instead (Costco Travel). What is the right way to sync all the information on these documents? Is this a big deal? It's only a 3-night Bahamas/Coco Cay sailing.

How are the SeaPass cards used on the Mariner... insert/swiping or tapping/RFID?

@CruiseLife72, hope you enjoy your cruise!

No need to disrespect people who live in trailer parks. You could have just given your suggestion about plates.

I've read suggestions and tips about taking food presumably from the Windjammer to the room for night snacks/meals. What's a good way of doing it... ziploc bags? plates from the Windjammer? bring your own containers?

I hope Royal will allow me to make for switch "official" for the sake of the cabin steward.

It's something I plan to do, given the chance. Here is the actual situation... I am booked (by myself) in an Ocean View Balcony room right now. I made a bid for a Grand Suite on Royal Up. I'm thinking, if I win the bid, I'd like to let one of the families in my group (of 8 families) use it instead. One possible family, a couple with their son (11) and daughter (4) is booked in an interior room.

Not fair... ha ha

Do I get quadruple points if I paid the supplement for a Junior Suite? (I always sail alone)

Here is a possible scenario. I’m in a stateroom by myself. I might give my “bigger room” to a family of 4 or 5 and I will stay in their interior room. I’m thinking the cabin steward will not like that. I don’t know how gratuities are computed for each crew member.

I must have confused the double points with the exclusions for the Junior Suite. (i.e.access to the concierge lounge, concierge service or reserved suites-only areas of the ship.)

The hanger/organizer is used to hold other stuff, not just shoes.

I don’t think you get double cruise points for Junior Suites... or do you?

When traveling in a group booked in different staterooms, can parties/families switch rooms?

I’ve been reading about the tips on door shoe hangers. Haven’t those been banned before? I read about them causing damage to door finishes.

Bring “European to US” outlet adapters so you can use the European outlets in the room. There are about two of them, I think. Bear in mind they are 220V, not 110V

Hi all! Several friends of mine are sailing on the Mariner in June (8 staterooms in all... and counting). I wanted to help them plan for their cruise since many of them are first-time cruisers. May I request for uploads of the Cruise Compass from those sailing on the Mariner from Orlando soon? In the archives, we only have one that sailed from Miami in March. Calling the attention of @CruiseLife72(May 6), @jaguarsfanfl (May 10), and @ashleybee (May 27).

If they're refunding the cruise fares, giving out C&A points wouldn't hurt Royal that much more.

It takes 7 days for “Explosion”???

It’s sad to hear about stories like this but two things in the article sound odd. First - about them being “made to believe” RCCL operated the Zip Line. I’ve always seen the disclaimers about third party operators. Second - the collision itself. I’ve just been on the zipline excursion in Antigua and the staff members were pretty strict about waiting for the go-signal before going on the line.
