Yes, current ships. I'm missing my very first one because it was on Splendour, which is no longer in Royal's fleet.

Click the head and shoulders icon and then profile. They show up right under your cruise points.

And I will be getting that one in 3 weeks' time on the 1st post-amp sailing!

Look for them under your profile in the app.

Actually, yes, I think Adrian did say beach club rather than PD.

Have you seen the youtube video by Adrian the cruise guy? He speculates that the delay is because Royal are waiting to see if PD@Lelepa has a chance of being up and running in time for the 2026/27 season. If it is, he thinks there will be a quantum class ship in Brisbane, with Navigator going to Singapore. If it isn't, then he reckons Navigator will be in Brisbane. In any case, it's surely extremely frustrating for all of you down there waiting for news.

It's been changed so many times that it's anyone's guess. Last week, the schedule was showing the first week of June for the Australia release and this current week for Singapore. I just took a look and the deployment flyer has been updated again (for the nth time) and now shows both of these as TBD.

They were loaded on Royal's website about 10 days ago. I saw them too. This would have been the test load ahead of next week's release.

Yes you can. I had the exact same issue very recently; ID card did not populate in the drop-down menu like it should and like it always has done in the past. It appears to be an IT problem (surprise, surprise). A lot of digging eventually got me to a page on Royal's website confirming that ID cards are accepted but it was so hard to find that I was still concerned so I asked my TA to double check with Royal. She spoke to Andre at 5.35 pm on 3 March 2025 who confirmed ID cards are fine and that check-in can be done at the terminal.

That's really interesting. Thanks.

Are drinks free in Vegas casinos? Genuine question. I am just curious since I don't drink or gamble.

Mason Jar has just shown up on the app for my sailing, although not bookable yet and still not showing on the Cruise Planner.

Mason Jar has just shown up in the app for my sailing. Not bookable at the moment and still not in the CP.

It's a 3-video series and it's an eye-opener. Here's the link to the first one:

Have you seen Ben & David's vlog of their very recent expedition cruise to Antarctica?

With the exception of being unplugged, you're clearly my soul mate.

That's because you've never been in line behind me

It used to be 3 years but they've recently upped it to 5 years so you still have plenty of time to give them a try.

Those are a reference to the post number where the information was first posted. Note that it depends what device you're using whether you can see the post numbers or not.

It's not showing up on the cruise planner for the first post-dry dock sailing, at least for now. If it does, I'll try and remember to post. Otherwise, I'll check when we get on board.

I'm on the first cruise after the dry dock. I'm going to try and post pics and answer any questions people might have as I know lots of folks are anxiously waiting for updates.

There's Mamma Mia, Blades (ice skating) and Blue Planet (production show). There are also adult comedy shows in English and in Spanish. No aqua show, so I don't know if they just haven't loaded it yet or if they're not going to do it on my sailing. That would be disappointing but not entirely unexpected given it's only a 4-nighter and early enough in the season that there's a strong likelihood of weather-related cancellation. I would expect it to be up and running for your sailing.

Entertainment has just opened up for my sailing (41 days out).

Just be mindful of the additional weight in your bags. I fairly recently witnessed a chap dump several bottles of wine in the bin at check-in because he was badly overweight! Given how cheaply you can buy even very good wine here, the excess baggage fees were going to cost him more than he paid for the wine!

Well, I'm going to talk you out of it... They'll probably let you cancel Jamies on board or at least reschedule for another day if you really want to do CK. I mean, if you ask, the worst they can do is say no, right?
