Me too

I always ask for the paper compass. I am unable to use my phone while on the ship as it is turned off and locked in the safe.... I AM ON VACATION!!!!

Just ask your cabin attendant. They will get you a sharps container by the time you are ready for dinner. As for the refrigerator, there is a small dorm type of cooler that is more than sufficient to keep your meds cool.

All the above posts should give you an idea as to how we all roll... If you are cool and not a jerk you are ok. If you are hot even better...lol

I am kinda stuck on dates for after Thanksgiving but before Christmas and then after the New Year. And my wife won't get on a smaller than Freedom class ship...lol

Yeah I wanted St Lucia and St Kitts.

Yeah she is "down under". I am sure she is getting a lot of questions and will have quite a bit to do when she gets back to "work".

i sent an e-mail to my TA Yeah since it seems that this sailing may be in jeopardy. It is no longer available to book and there is talk about it going into drydock. I do not want to cancel this. I will wait for RCL to do it. For a contingency plan I want to book a refundable cruise on Oasis for the Dec 14 sailing. Then we will wait and see what happens.

Yeah same here, but if they wait to long then whatever might be available might not be in the budget. Already looking at Oasis on 12/14/24 but it is $900 more now for a ocean view balcony and $2k more for a JS. And if we do this will we lose our deposit and OBC from the next cruise booking?

Ok because on my app it is showing Caribbean night as the 1st formal on day 2. I was planning on a specialty dining on that night and I do not want to miss Caribbean night, but I can skip French, Mexican and Italian nights.

Any updates as to what night is which menu or do they change per sailing? Also what is the format for an 8 day sailing... I tried to use the app but is shows day 8 as venue is closed.

Yeah I know.... just wish they would let us or the TA's know what is going on so that we can make any adjustments to our travel plans.

Well crap!!...I have the 12/7/24 sailing booked and I did it thru next cruise. I booked it specifically for those dates and itinerary. It is still showing on my cruise planner as active. Nothing from my TA as of yet.

Hmmm... this sailing has disappeared from the RC website but it is still in my cruise planner??? Wonder if it is just a glitch or could this be sold out already with over 600 days until sailing??

I had Danette and then when she left we got transferred to Michelle and everything as been smooth sailing.

I can't watch the muster video until the cabin is open.

So now they are going to delay me doing the muster drill. rant on...Oh this just keeps get better and better. Thanks but no thanks. Charge for less service and put more work in the staff's lap... what a great concept....rant off.

And then you are still paying for 2 packages. I do not and will not pay for a package that will not be used or have any meaningful benefit. My wife only drinks water, tea, and black coffee. All of which are already included in the cruise fair. So a deluxe package for me would cost me that plus a refreshment package. It will never be worth it.

Yes it may for "YOU" but if you have others in the room then they all have to have a package... that is the extra cost you have to consider as well.

I don't like it but not for the reason you think. I think it is really crappy that they decrease the service to the guests but up the rooms that the attendant has to service, so it is more work for them.

I have never purchased the deluxe drink package not because I would not be able to get value out of it, it was because I would have to purchase it for my wife as well and she does not drink that much. Even if I were to call Royal and then just get the refreshment package for her, she is still not going to get the value out of it as she only drinks water, tea and black coffee. I would just get the refreshment package for me and then get alcohol ala cart. It has saved me hundreds on all my sailings. Now that we are Diamond, we get 4 alcohol dinks per day. She will likely only use 2 per day if that. I will get her other 2 weeee!!

YES!! We learned about this in the 6th grade... come on children...please use what is little left of your brains.

Umm...yeah that could make you feel better but it will not really hydrate you more. At least that is not how we were taught in chemistry and med school. But then again what do I know??!! If it makes you feel better then you do you.

Do you have a port and do it yourself? or do you go to the med bay for the IV?
