Speakers on a Cruise Ship?
dodgestang replied to Traveling Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We always bring a blutooth speaker....we use it xclusively in our cabin. Love music all day and everyday.....when on board in cabin is really the only place you CAN'T find music -
Buying a bottle of wine at Chops/ Allure of the Seas
dodgestang replied to ChunkyMonkey's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
If you are sitting at the table and order the wine, you get to pay...so yes? -
Only 1 Member Reward point for 7 day cruise?
dodgestang replied to packercruising's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Mine was never changed from 1 point. But I'm at D+ now so I don't really care. -
I take it you left the ship and forget to cash out a couple chips after your last sailing?

I guess that beats my never cruised before so no status to D+ in 8 cruises -
Club Royale Gambling Strategies
dodgestang replied to Censored's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I just gamble to have fun. It turns out my level of enjoyment puts into Prime on the first cruise I take every new fiscal year. You'll go crazy trying to keep track of it all and ultimately fool yourself into thinking you're 'getting one over on them'....... -
Cruising for loyalty points with C&A
dodgestang replied to Wheeler825's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We were going to be a few points shy of Diamond Plus when we went to AK in August....so when we got a free cruise offer for a Jr suite in July...we took it...it put us over the threshold for AK and we got an extra cruise in for good measure. With that said.....I don't think the benefits are really there to 'pay' for a cruise just to tier up most of the time. Since this was a port fees and taxes free cruise that we drove to the port to take and the benefit would be 5 free drinks per day (instead of 4) for 4 people on AK cruise.....So $13x7x4= $364 it worked out pretty closely to be a wash. -

dodgestang replied to ElmoHongZito's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
The water park has a wonderfully fun wave pool that I spent hours in last time I was there. Was like being at the Jersey shore right after a storm -
Cabin close to Concierge club on Anthem
dodgestang replied to Marmaduke's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I hate going to the concierge club on Anthem....it is just too far away from everything and there is no easy way.......the elevators are such a long walk and there are no back stairs or anything for public use to short cut the treck.......I suppose what I'm saying is......how many people actually go -
Make sure you tell your CC you are cruising. They love turning off CC the 2nd or 3rd day at sea when RCCL starts hitting them with hold funds/auths against your on board account....and then you are at sea...and its hard to straighten out until you have solid cell service for calls and text messaging.

Just pointing out the weather....sitting outside, drinking wine, soaking in the sun. It had rained the day before, but even then, kids were out on the balcony whale spotting. I wouldn't let the threat of rain dissuade someone from getting a room with a view. That's what I meant by different experiences

We've had extremely different experiences in Alaska

If you use air canada and/or connect through Toronto Airport....you will miss the cruise. I literally watched Air Canada cancel a flight out of Philly the day before the cruise and tell passengers how they wouldn't get to Vancouver now until 2 days later (the day after the cruise left port) because of their inability to get flights in the air with crews or get ground crews in place to support the flights that were flying into/out of Toronto.
-
Don't use Air Canada is my only advice I can offer
-
Only takes about 10 minutes with good timing, I will warn you though.........there is a LOT of walking involved...it is an interesting process. Walk down long hallway to ship check in, then double back on a lower level and walk long hallway to customs, then double back again and walk hallway to waiting area to board ship.

I answered incorrectly 2 weeks ago...selected that I had covid. I had no problem getting on board. -
Email from RCCL has me confused about Aircan
dodgestang replied to dodgestang's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Try getting back into Canada without it ;). You are arriving by sea the second time. Still makes no sense to have to fill it out a second time...I am no longer arriving at that point...I am departing. Government Bureaucracy at work and just another chance to be 'randomly selected' and have your plans all toss into turmoil. -

Email from RCCL has me confused about Aircan
dodgestang posted a topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
So I know I need to use Aircan. We are flying into Toronto with connecting flight to Vancouver. We are staying in Vancouver the day before the cruise. I got an email from RCCL that said to use aircan for the flight in (Check, all done and setup) And then the email said to create another application while still at the airport for when I arrive at the pier to get on the ship....but that doesn't make any sense...I am leaving Canada. I figured I would need to complete it again for when we return in a week...but the email said I needed to complete it again to get on the ship???
