An added detail is the mom’s response to RCCL’s statement that the open window was for ventilation. She said that fans should be used instead of windows. I scratched my head on that one because I personally prefer the salty sea breeze on cruise ships over recirculated stale air.

I got my Platinum pin from the Loyalty Ambassador who was at a desk on Deck 2, yes, Deck 2 of the Mariner. It was an “out of sight” location.

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.

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
