@Fuzzywuzzy

 how did you post the pic so fast?  Just had a photo of the machine handy?  ;-)

I remembered that the topic had been brought up before and isolated the pic. This one was from Jewel Of The Seas. Most people recall seeing Powerade Zero on those ships with the machines, which seems to be most of them.

Ok since there's a thread on this, I'll take the opportunity to ask... Can I get Powerade Zero from the Freestyle machines?  Is the offering standard from ship to ship? (Those that have them...)

In the Coke Freestyle machines, and there is a Diet Sprite package available for purchase too.

Have a great time. A little jealous. The wife and I feel the same way about Bermuda.

Quite true.....But they are really heavy. What is the proper gratuity if a porter carries it for you? Can you arrange for a Royal Genie to take care of it? Will it fit through the security screening equipment? Too many unanswered questions.

I have noticed some people have concerns about digital passes and systems failures, etc. when choosing that option. But please remember problems that can arise when making the choice to use paper:

1. Paper can get wet. When wet, information on the form can "bleed" causing it to be difficult to read. Keep the paper away from sweating bottles of water, and of course rain, snow and heavy fog. Also wet paper becomes weakened and easily torn. See #2, next.
2. Paper can tear. Treat your printed boarding pass with respect and keep it dry. Also, excess opening and closing of a folded form can cause a weakened fold seam which could cause an unwanted rip. Don't constantly do this every day for weeks or months prior to your cruise just to look at it. Examine the paper for weakness prior to putting it into use. 
3. Dogs will eat your SetSail Pass. Canines are notorious for consuming valuable documents. Many times I was unable to provide my teacher with mandatory homework because my dog ("Sarge", God Rest His Soul) made it a late night snack, I swear.
4. Paper is vulnerable to the wind. We have all seen paper blowing around the streets of our neighborhoods at one time or another. This is usually the result of someone not grasping a piece of paper in a controlling manner. Always keep a firm grip on any printed paper when windy conditions are prevalent. Of course it can at times be amusing watching someone chasing a piece of paper in the wind. Don't be that person.

Not all drawbacks to paper have been listed here but by remembering these tips when choosing the paper option it can result in an enjoyable and pleasurable cruise experience.

Don't blame Norweigan, blame the Chinese. Ruining cruises is just the beginning of this new sinister Communist plot. What's next? Raining on parades? They must be stopped.

lol.  Yes.  That is true.  Clearly a typo!  

 

I was sure that it was, just my way of bringing it to your attention. Have fun, I've done a New England/Canada cruise and sailed on Anthem so I know you will

Hello, welcome and have fun

There has be something that happened that they prefer to keep you in the dark about. Weird.

The pizza (Sorrento's) was better on Anthem than the pizza on Adventure. But I ate it all anyway

Not to be pickey but Boston is in Massachusetts.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

OK. How is this profitable??

$197 pp for 5days is $39 pp per day. Right?

I've seen plenty of them tagged and being given to the porters. Not much of a big deal since they weigh less than 99% of the bags they have to handle.

BOOK IT!!

That's sort of a mantra around here!

Sounds like a plan, good luck. And don't worry about being stupid. I do it here quite often.

We are going to keep our “delicates and personal items” in a small carry on and only have them unpack our main clothes that will be hung up in the wardrobe. 

Just remember....your carry on is going to go through an x-ray scan. Some delicate and personal items stick out like a sore thumb. If you see the belt stop and reverse direction and security starts to gather around the screen.........

Got confirmation from Sunil (our royal genie in October 12 sailing) it can be arranged. We are going to have them unpack for us while we get massages! 

Anyone else read this, shake their head, and say "wow" out loud?

It's just the two of you. It's an anniversary. Nobody on board knows you (probably). There is no better time or place for romantic role play, public flirting or whatever "floats your boat" (Pun). Take advantage because it might be a long time till you get another opportunity.

Quite often, on the second formal night, there is also prime rib on the menu, which gives you a chance to get surf and turf! Order the prime rib and get a couple of lobster tails!

Oh, yeah!!

This is a great cruise. We will do it again after a few more jaunts around the Caribbean.

Pretty doubtful - too many things could go wrong, including immigration/customs, weather, late arrival.  Last fall had almost a three-hour wait for immigration in Tampa, and self assist did not help.  Would suggest you re-think departure time!

Have to agree. I would be way too nervous to try and pull this off.
