  1. Does this apply to refundable deposits?
  2. Are you allowed to order more than 1 app and entree/pasta at Giovanni's and also when dining at 150 CP? Thanks in advance!
  3. Hello, I'm sailing soon on Allure. Is the souvenir cup delivered to the stateroom or do we need to pick it up somewhere else? Thanks in advance!
  4. Hi everyone. Thank you so much for your great advice. It's our first time visiting Galveston and I didn't even consider the fog and traffic delays that can add to what would be an already stressful morning. Definitely not the way to end a cruise! Since there isn't any good options for us to fly later in the afternoon, we've decided to stay an extra day. Since we have small kiddos we're thinking of checking out the Nasa Space Center or some other kid friendly activities
  5. What is the earliest time to disembark out of Galveston? Is 11am flight out of Houston Hobby Airport cutting it too close?
  6. We've sailed a few times requesting a pack n play. On Freedom (9 months old), Navigator (1 yr old) and Symphony (15 months old) the pack n play was the same size on each ship. I'm not sure about other ships tho. You're right it's really small but I imagine that would be the only size that could fit in the cabin. Even then, it takes up a good amount of space. On Symphony, he was maxing out.
  7. @AshleyDillo Is it possible to have this posted on the Cruise Compass section of the blog? Sure comes in handy! Also, thank you @LCertain for posting it. I'm on that sailing in April. Super excited!!
  8. I'm sailing on Liberty in May and wanted to ask if Royal offers airport transfers after debarkation to JFK or Newark? Thanks in advance!
  9. I recommend staying in Downtown Long Beach. The port is just opposite of the bridge from there, less than 15 mins away. Long Beach Yellow Cab https://longbeachyellowcab.com/taxi-rates/ has flat rates. See attached pictures and the rate for San Pedro Cruise Terminal is referring to Port of LA. Also the hotels listed are DLB hotels. Another option is using private transportation but it's more expensive. I've used Sav-On multiple times and they are excellent! I haven't really seen taxis posted at this port but you can always give them a call once you disembark. The distance from the port to LGB airport is about 20-25 mins depending on traffic.
  10. If you stay in a hotel at LAX then its about a 35 min taxi or uber ride to the port, depending on traffic. LA traffic is horrendous so give yourself plenty of time. If you're getting in at least a day early I recommend a hotel in the San Pedro area close to the port or staying Downtown Long Beach. DLB has plenty of hotels and lots of fun stuff to do prior to the cruise. On Ocean Blvd/Pine Ave there's The Aquarium, The Pike, lots of restaurants, Queen Mary, nightlife, all within walking distance of the hotels. There's a Hilton, Hyatt (next to LB Convention Center) and The Westin in addition to some others. It's also a short taxi or uber ride to the port of LA (San Pedro) its just opposite of the bridge so very close and you don't have to deal with LA traffic possibly delaying your arrival time. But I understand if you're flying the night before and don't have enough time or not interested in exploring than getting an uber or taxi to the port from an airport area hotel is the best way to go. If you give yourself a few hours, beat the LA traffic and you're early to the port, check out the USS Iowa thats in the same port (literally next to the ship) or grab a bite in one of local restaurants. Flying into Long Beach Airport is actually so much easier and stress free than flying into LAX just a future side note. However, airlines are limited. Sailed on Navigator a few months ago and lived in the Southbay my whole life so feel free to ask any ?'s and I'll do my best to help. Have a fun cruise!
  11. Reserve your show times, make dining reservations, waterslides/flowrider/rock climbing less crowded on day 1, get a drink and hit the pool deck for sailaway!
  12. I hope your wife is feeling better and you too! Thankfully I'm the only one in my immediate family that caught it and I'm trying not to spread it to the other family members. Vaccinated, boosted, over abundantly hand washed and hand sanitized, kept our distance as much as possible (which realistically with 5500+ on that sailing was non existent) and covid found its way. We still had a great time and in no way will covid stop us from cruising. We're learning to live with it, be flexible with unexpected changes and to remember that being on a cruise is always better than not being on one!
  13. Yes I agree it was Symphony. I was on the same sailing and tested positive the day after we disembarked. We had a wonderful cruise on Symphony and the time off now to recover from Covid just means more time to plan my next cruise! ❤
  14. Solarium Bistro was not open during Symphony sailing May 7th. Bummer! We were really looking forward to it.
