Ok so I got the whole bar code to print on one page finally. Changing the scale didn't work, printing landscape vs. portrait didn't work, nothing! So I thought I'd try one more thing. I had originally saved our set sail passes to print later - you know, in case Royal's website started acting wonky. Anyway, I was trying to print from my saved PDFs which created a 3 page document no matter what I tried. I logged into the Cruise Planner and was able to print them on 2 pages (no split bar code) without changing anything though. Thanks for all the suggestions. Clearly this was operator error.

I know I've seen instructions recently ( @SpeedNoodles maybe?), but I can't find the right combo of words in the search function... How do I get my Set Sail Pass to print on one page? The bar code is split between the second and third pages.

I was under the impression (heard it on a FB group from someone who asked crew so take it with a grain of salt) that they were waiting on parts to fix.

@Jill and @Baked Alaska Even if they home port in Seattle, I think they would go with Ovation and Quantum round trip sailings. Or did they have smaller ships go one way from Seattle to Anchorage this past, short season?

I just watched a YouTube video that spanned a couple days onboard. They brought the cans they brought onboard to the WJ for lunch and dinner. They allow you to bring it onboard, so I don't think anyone would mind. Now if you snuck on a fifth of Jack and asked for a shot glass...

I do. DS is almost 10 and DD is 13.

We've never received a can in the MDR.

We are supposed to be on the same sailing. Have you tried contacting Royal's Private Journeys? Maybe they can set up an excursion that is exactly what you want that includes your toddler as well? I found a few beach excursions in Costa Maya and Cozumel with no age limit on our sailing (none in Belize). In the cruise planner, you can filter by age on the left side of the desktop version. Costa Maya Town Highlights and Beach Break and in Cozumel Deluxe Beach Break at Playa Mia / Playa Mia Grand Beach Break. There are a couple more in Cozumel with beach time, but the excursion also includes ruins or something.

I was just thinking about this today. We're sailing southbound with a pre-cruise tour.

The pools are great for general swim, but if your kid swims competitively, the pools may be too small for a good workout. He/she will surface just in time for the next flip turn.

No. Your entire party will be seated in the unvax section of the MDR, but individually everyone other than the baby is considered vaccinated. You can leave the baby with auntie and go anywhere, or if you have the baby auntie can go anywhere. You'll get a colored bracelet at check in indicating your Vax status.

The Alcohol Policy section of the cruise docs specifically states no boxes. YMMV as far as getting one on board.

Some snorkeling excursions we have been on had lockers. If not, we'll just leave our bag on the boat - I doubt Royal would continue to work with excursion operators that rob their customers. However, DH has a little wearable case that we use if we're planning on bringing lots of cash.

I'm pretty sure my husband would riot! We joke about how they have to order an extra pallet when we cruise.

I've seen mobile bars serving mimosas and bloody Mary's at the entrance to the Windjammer and in the promenade in the mornings.

Binax has an over the counter test that is proctored via video call - no Rx needed. It's not available at the drugstore and not valid for under unvaccinated under 12 since they would need a PCR. Royal Caribbean has a link to purchase on their website.

I'm picturing a cross between a deli and the Bionic Bar - just need a droid to deliver it.

I love the map too. Forget the in flight movie!

I think it's all personal preference. We're a family of 4 that sails in the 2 br grand suite. DD is on the spectrum and needs a place that is our own to skip around in the afternoons. She and DS are old enough that sharing a pull out doesn't work. DH gets up before dawn and needs a place of his own so the rest of us can sleep until a decent hour. I love the suite lounge and concierge, but we would book this room even without the benefits.

We bring extra cash and distribute it in thank you notes on the last night.

Goodness, how horrible! Don't leave us hanging though!

I agree, and it would be nice if they had duplicate capabilities. Some things are just easier with a big screen and keyboard.

@CrimsonCruiser I love those. Didn't even think about room service. Maybe even drink service while at the pool or in the casino. DH is 6'4" so exact seat reservations would be great - it's hard to get those coveted aisle seats!

I love being able to look at the menus and activities on the app for current sailings which helps me get in cruise planning mode. However, there are some things that I would really like to see added. 1. All remaining ships need to be added. I thought this was in the works pre-covid, and I'm hoping this will be done as they come online. (Specifically Radiance for our June Alaska cruise) 2. A countdown to cruise day like on the cruise planner list of my cruises. 3. A link to photos or a 360 video on the deck plans of the public spaces. 4. Maybe some sort of capacity meter when the sailing is actually taking place - like how full is the Windjammer? Not sure that is really practical, but I'm dreaming here. If you could have a feature added, what would it be?

My husband calls it turtle mode.
