No, that was me posting before I was awake enough to make sense. But they will cancel if it isn't paid by final payment date (sorry).

My fake alias no longer needs to put her fake traveling companion in? Excellent (poor Ken Adams, he'll never get to go anywhere again). Now if they'd just eliminate the nonsense of making you go all of the way to the end to see the refundable price and would let you see it before entering any names..... (I went in to try this on two different sailings and I still had to put in the 2nd guest ... boooo).

You'll be on wifi, so anything you can do on wifi on land, you can do with Voom. I don't have an iphone, I just connect to Voom text normally if I need to (with my phone in airplane mode, of course). I also have wifi calling enabled, so I can make normal phone calls. Ok, I COULD make normal phone calls, if I used my phone as an actual phone, which I avoid at all costs.

Ha, I think the Minnesota Nice has been beaten out of me. Glad to see some still have it ?

They can get wet.

@SteveinSC kudos on the Mitch Hedberg quote ?

We'll (in theory, although it's not looking good) be at Coco Cay twice in November for the Inaugural B2B Odyssey sailings. I looked at the number of ships in port, and there are two on the first leg, but three on the 2nd leg (Symphony, Odyssey and one other), so I grabbed the Beach Club ($69) for the 2nd leg simply to avoid the crowds!

You don't even have to go through all of this - if you just double click on the photo once you insert it but before you hit "submit" you can change the size.

The Stowaway Piano Player is THE BEST - especially when you catch him in an elevator!!!

I wish I was retiring! I'm being promoted to supervisor - different set of problems, but no more taking phone calls (yay!)

Yeah, there's no way I could deal with people in person. I'll take stoned over drunk any day - they typically don't get aggressive.

Ah, ok. Things I've never seen.

I've literally never heard of these people.

I answer 911 calls (but for only 10 more shifts!!!!!), so I'm burned out by dealing with drunks and disturbed people. I probably use my "phone" feature of my cell phone about twice a month, lol.

Hey, that's NEXT week!! Tick, tick, tick, tick....... ?

The way that I sent credit card information to pay with M.E.I. the first time was via fax (she sent me a form). Now my card is on file and I just have to email her and ask her to put whatever amount I want on the card toward a particular sailing. I suppose I could have called with it, but I'm on the phone so much at work that I simply avoid it when I'm not at work.

This alone would be my decision maker. I wish I could find of of these that fit into my schedule. Whatever you choose, you'll have a great time!

I've heard of people's cruises being canceled if final payment isn't received by final payment date. I write them all on a calendar with a two-week reminder notification so I can't forget. Although my TA would remind me, Royal wouldn't.

Ha, well, his credit card is my credit card. My desires are simple - a Grand Suite would be just fine. LOL

I bought these and they work quite well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X9XVHPW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I survived exactly 2 1/2 minutes of that video before I had to turn it off. I guess I'm old and just don't like fun.

Totally this. My husband gets half the value of his every day just from his morning espressos - then have an couple of afternoon drinks or beers, a glass of wine or two with dinner, and a nightcap? BOOM. Plus if you order that Lavender Martini and it doesn't sit well with you, leave it and move on. (Ok, I don't know what I'm saying, Lavender Martinis are the bomb, and I can't imagine anyone not liking them ... but apply the concept to whatever weird drink you want to try).

Nothing to do with this, but I just love your forum name, lol

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^ an average of 300,000 people die of the flu yearly and nobody bats an eyelash.

You should have an invoice to refer to which will state the final payment date. If you book through Royal, they often don't send it, but if you call them they will email you one.
