The Cruise Junkie

Welcome To The RCB Boards @sirdaniel!

Hello everyone and welcome to another "live" Blog. This blog is going to a very fun one because of this little backstory. So I was one day looking around on RCI webpage and I wanted to do a quick cruise over the weekend and I happen to find a ok deal on Indy for a four night weekend cruise to the Caribbean. Well in that time I desired to hold off on booking this cruise until my cruise in harmony in September. Well when I was one the ship the price went down about $1,000 USD Dollars for a grand suite. So I said to my self. Why not go ahead and splurge on a grand suite. So I did. Here is a mini break down on some thing about this trip. Itinerary This 4-night cruise will bring us to one port of call and it will be the lovely port of Cozumel Mexico. As of right now I have no plans to do any thing in that port. however that may change over time. Cabin In This cruise I am Trying out a Grand Suite on Deck 10. This Is one the closets Grand Suite to the Aft which was able at the time of booking. But the Flowrider snob is slightly out of his comfort zone as this cabin is very close to the forward of the ship. Some Pre-Cruise thoughts I am beyond excited to sail Independence the of the Seas. After this cruise I will only need to do Liberty to make the goal of sailing on every freedom class ship! Folks please do not hesitate to ask any questions. I will try to find out what I can for you. Also Please keep in mind when Quoting a post with a series of pictures, please do not include Every pictures in your reply that . One or two will be fine. It just makes for easier scrolling. Thank You With That Said Let Blog The Begin!!

No Not To My Knowledge. I Believe This Is Usually Just For When Some Sailings Have A Lot Of Elite C & A Members.

I Have Only See Them Give That Out When There Is A Lot Of Elite On That Sailing.

You Can Use Your Set Sail Pass Or The Royal Caribbean Smart Phone App Depending On What Ship You Sail On.

I Will Be Following Raye!! I Hope This New Itinerary Goes Well So We Can See This Type Of Cruises Happen More Often For Oasis Class Ships!

Here is a live blog for my last trip on Mariner. I have some tips in there and some cool places to check out around the ship.

@Pookie thanks for a super great live blog. I’m so glad you had an amazing time.

So I was just looking on royal Caribbean's main webpage and @twangster photo from Dawes Glacier made it on to the website under the ovation of the seas page. Congrats on the spot on the webpage @twangster!!

Hello everyone. Here are some videos from my cruise on mariner of the seas. I will update this thread when new ones are out. I Hope You Enjoy All Of Them.

I am just wondering. Would quantum have to get shore power if she wants to sail out of LA?

I Hope You Get Some Great Flow Time @RBRSKI.

Well The Dates Got Pushed Back Again..... http://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2021_2022/19069859_Deployment_Opening_Schedule_20212022_Phase2

Sabiana I Will Be Following As Always!

I Hope This "Pandemic" Will Cause The Cruise Prices To Go Down So I Can Go On More Cruises!!!

Here Are Some Photos Of Oasis and Symphony Docked In Coco Cay. picture by Pieter De Boer photography.

I Would Do Oasis Or Freedom. They Are Both Great Ships. But I Would Pick One Over The Other I Would Do Oasis.

Does Anyone Have The Coco Cay Theme Song? I Know It Is A Remake Of Lovely Day By Bill Withers. I Have That Song Stuck In My Head Since Mariner OTS.

The Exploration Tower Is Awesome!! It Is A Awesome Place To Check Out. http://www.explorationtower.com/ Also The KSC Is Awesome!! It Is A Must See.

Thanks For The Great Blog @Rags1!! Hope You Make It Home Safely.

Glad You Made It Down Under Safely @twangster. I Have To Say Voyager Looks Great With Her Paint Job. I Wish Royal Would Do That To More Ships.

No. Only The Old Sea Pass Cards.

Thank you so much @Neesa for following along! You guys will love the two stops at Coco Cay! I did that same cruise in October but I was on Navigator not mariner.
