I asked Daboyz about them on periscope today, he said he was just working the details out. I'll leave them in peace for now but bug them if I don't hear anything down the road.

Here are some mock ups
 

 

 
And the bag

Hi Matt and Community.
Not sure if this is ever been brought up before?
I do see that there is a topic discussion under the people connect forum, a topic listed "periscope Peeps"
I think it would be a great idea, if on the main page of Royal Caribbean Blog, where the different forum's are listed, like Excursions and such, if there was actually a message forum, just for Periscoping posts.
That way, anyone interested in watching the periscopes, it would be much easier way for them, to find out who is Periscoping, from what ship, and when. Just a Suggestion however.
I have enjoyed watching people periscope from different ships. It has inspired me to periscope, from my two upcoming cruises on Royal Caribbean, Allure of the seas, and majesty of the seas.

I will look next month on Liberty.

It's not the best screen grab, but this is the best I could get from tonight's scope.
 
P.S.  I'm still waiting for the large logo shirt which is currently only available for women.

Daboyz (or Matt)...any chance you can post a few pics of the INSIDER t-shirts that Matt introduced on tonight's Periscope? Those things rocked!!! Can't wait for them to be added to the store. Must have before our April 24th cruise.
 
For those who missed the Periscope you are going to be impressed. Great job Daboyz.
 
 

Completed. Took about 5 mins

For those who have ever vacillated over whether or not using a travel agent was in your best interest or not, let me assure you that a GOOD travel agent is priceless.
 
I have proven that to myself this week with the disaster that Royal Caribbean created with its cancellation of the Empress sailings in March and April.
 
As everyone now knows, Royal Caribbean cancelled 6 sailings on the Empress of the Seas, due to sail beginning in late March through mid-April.  Dan and I were booked on the April 11, right, smack dab in the middle of that cancellation cluster.  It was a psychological blow to us as well as a potential logistics nightmare.  All I can say is THANK GOODNESS I had Michelle Cunningham with MEI as my advocate.  I can say, without any doubt, I would have killed myself, Dan or someone on the other end of the phone line before I managed to get it all straightened out if I had had to do this by myself.  Imagine.  1800 passengers times 6 sailings.  Over 10,000 people are trying to either rebook or cancel their cruises.  No thanks.
 
Not only did Michelle manage to salvage our cruise but she saved our $1,000 OBC that Dan had earned on our Allure sailing (from Club Royale), which was in real danger of going bye-bye.  Our out-of-pocket costs, as a result of this monumental BLUNDER - that was 100% Royal Caribbean's doing - is only going to be ~$200...which will be some airline change fees that RCI is too damn cheap to reimburse us.  Thanks to Michelle's diligence and persistence, we were able to get $200 of the $400 reimbursed.  She got us rebooked on the sailing of our choice in the same room that we original had (Owner's Suite 8506) for the same price.  Actually, we got a $28.68 refund so she actually got us money BACK on the resked.
 
...and let me assure you, she did not do this without considerable interference from me !  We changed our minds, and changed them back again at least twice, not to mention the numerous emails that I sent, inquiring as to her progress over a 48 hour period.  She never complained (at least, not directly to me although she would have had every right to do so !) and came through like a trooper.
 
EVERYTHING has been rescheduled...the cruise, the hotel, the excursions, the airfare.  Everything.  We couldn't be happier, considering.  This is all the result of excellent service from Michelle and no thanks WHATEVER, to Royal Caribbean.
 
So Michelle....thank you for everything you had done for us over the past 72 hours.  You are a gem, a great friend, a consummate professional and a credit to your Agency.

I really want one of these :(  :P

If you browse any of the internet or beverage packages, it shows right up in the image banner.

And with Tidal Wave, you're in a raft, so if something terrible happens, like you go overboard, at least you're on a floatations device. ;)

If you really want to be scared try a water slide in a third world country with little or no oversight and inspection. Now that is really a adventure. Water slides are not for everyone, like so many other things and can involve some risk. Just traveling on the trip has some risk but the level for most people is acceptable. I love being on small boats with swells and waves, this makes many people sea sick, so each person should do what they believe is best for them.
 
As for water slides on Royal ships one thing is for sure. They are among the best design, maintain, and inspected in the World. Not only passing every safety inspection that slides on land have but also the USCG Inspections. So if you want to ride a water slide the slides on Royal Ships are the ones to pick.

First, follow Matt on Periscope and you'll be able to get a daily cruise fix with him as he broadcasts daily.  I only remember one day in the past year when he didn't broadcast.  He even did a scope on Christmas Day.
 
Some of the others that I listen to after Matt's are podcasts that Matt has appeared on at one time or another.  My favorite would be Cruise Radio.  You can also check out The Cruise Dudes, and sometimes Tips for Travellers (two Ls - "the UK way") covers cruise-related info.  Also, don't forget to check out YouTube as we have some posters here who have done video blogs, which can help you get your fix.  Note that none of the other podcasts focus exclusively on Royal Caribbean.

I tend to disagree. Many cruise ships, across a few different fleets have had water slides for years.  

Here is the link you wanted I believe:

A few more weeks according to Matt's March 5th blog.
 
Why can't I post links?

If you can grab aft 1694 or 1394 you will experience a HUGH balcony. We were in 1694 last year and the balcony was approx. 13'x13'.

I'd recommend reading a live blog that we featured on the blog a few months ago http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/category/category/majesty-of-the-seas-live-blog

My wife bought me a nice RoyalCaribbeanBlog.com t-shirt for my birthday, which I happen to be sporting right now... :)

Not sure when in Feb you are cruising so this might be too late. LoL
 
We take a taxi (about $16 up to 4 people) to Mr Sanchos. $55 all-inclusive (food, booze, beach, lounger, etc) We love the swim-up bar and the service is exceptional.  

Technically, you could be moved, but the likelihood is very low since they've already assigned you a room and because there's only one category of JSs.

Yes, you can.  They were actually selling it all week in the Windjammer, although I've read previously that it has to be purchased during the first two days of the cruise.
