Welcome to the show! @Matt serves drinks on Monday nights after his live YouTube feed, very generous with the pours. From everything I've heard from people, MEI is the way to go.

Been a rough go of it for the IT department lately hasn't it... Hope its all cleared up soon for those having issues.

Duck it! I'm spending my next ducking trip looking for these little duckers!

Because the same questions were asked the summer of 2022 as were asked in 1997 when I was on the newish Majesty of the Seas. No real reason to return after that.

I just punched in the information at the ballpark. No picture of it was needed. However, I am stunned that it accepted my selfie with other people behind me in the stands.

I'm going to be at a baseball game tonight when my window opens up. Can I upload pictures previously taken or do I have to take a picture of my passport and a selfie within the app itself?

Was on the cruise planner today and at CocoCay there is the "swimming pigs tour"... and before the "sale" it is listed at $154. I have done this once before with my pig obsessed ex gf and I have no earthly idea why it would cost this much. You take a beautiful but short boat ride to the area where the pigs are at, and then you get to feed them apples if you choose, get into the water with them for a photo op. Why such a bloated price for a short, maybe ten minute boat ride and apples?! Its not like I'm getting to drive a jet ski over to the island and then taking home lobster. I love RC and I know this seems like a silly complaint, but I just had to point this out today.

It is sounding like we should go try one of the specialty restaurants for Thanksgiving Day. The other stuff sounds fun though

First of all, I am overly (properly) excited to be sailing again after having to take last year off after a job change and move across the country! Right now it is hard for me to picture a vacation that doesn't include a cruise. I love having this space and Matt's channel to be able to have an outlet for this excitement, so thank you. Have two sailings this year, one early summer and then a Thanksgiving sailing on Freedom this year. (taking mom on a trip as a thank you for being awesome my whole life) I was curious if Royal does anything special on Thanksgiving for dining. Can't wait to watch some of the football games at Playmakers and poolside if they show it there.

People watching is in my top five things to do while cruising. Its nice seeing everyone having a good time.

Been awhile since I've been around, but I wanted to share some thoughts. In October of last year I took a spur of the moment (get away from real life) last minute cruise on my own. Was a three night simple trip on Independence, only plans were for an inside cabin room and the deluxe beverage package, no excursions were planned or other frills. And I wanted to come here and say that I LOVED every moment of this trip! It was liberating and exactly what I needed to get away from some stress. I had more fun on this trip than the six nighter that I just went on that July when I was with someone. I got to meet so many more people, have a bunch of fun and random conversations with strangers, ALL of them friendly and having a great time. I'm not the most outgoing person and this was still very easy to do. While sharing a trip with someone and making memories is a great thing, I did enjoy my time alone not having to worry about what another person wanted to do. The only time it felt a little odd was when it was time to eat, but even then, if you wanted to strike up a conversation in the main dining room, or at a place like Playmakers, it was super easy. So if you are on the fence about traveling alone on a cruise, be brave and go for it! You only live once, so why not be adventurous

Thank you everyone.

Repriced even though I'm already paying for double occupancy with just me? Guess it could work in my favor but with my luck that isn't likely. Thank you.

Still new to cruising and for all of my cancelled trips I was planning on sailing alone. I have someone willing to go with me (woo hoo!!) and was wondering what the process is for adding someone to my stateroom. Is it as simple as calling up RC and giving their information? Also, how soon would the additional cost of their drink package on top of mine be expected?

Thank you everyone! Looks like we're going to be able to do this after all!!! Get those drinks and get ready to get your ugly cry on!!
