Srp431 got a reaction from ClareV in Symphony of the seas - help, have I made a mistake on Cabin
I prefer cabins near elevators . As others have stated rarely any noise and I prefer a bit less walking

Srp431 got a reaction from FireFishII in WHY DO YOU CRUISE? WHAT IS THE DRAW?
No driving anywhere . I drive 1 hour each way to work and look forward to no time behind the wheel. Also, I do all the menu planning and cooking, so it's nice to not worry about meals for a change.

Funny, my totally unscientific random thought is that they’ll stop testing but keep the vax requirements 🤷♀️🤷♀️

Srp431 reacted to WAAAYTOOO in Bye Bye Mask Mandates! Maybe?
As another poster said, I also believe this appeal is about being able to instate a new mandate again in the future, not about re-unseating this one.

Srp431 got a reaction from Pooch in Oasis...crown loft vs owner’s suite
Same issues with shower and bath mat. Ended up using a towel as bath mat , to prevent a flood

Srp431 got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in Smaller Ship Cruising
I vote for ships w/ multiply pool areas, so I guess I'm a Oasis ship person

Srp431 got a reaction from lrm9285 in Suite Spoiled
We were on the same Symphony (Mar 26) sailing and everything you stated I can agree with. We normally get connecting balconies, but this CL Suite was nice and I would do it again, my wife the accountant only looks at $ signs, so we'll see. I really was impressed w/ Costal Kitchen, we had breakfast almost every morning and they had the best fluffy french toast and crisp bacon each morning. It was nice to roll out of bed and the food was only a few steps away. We did 2 lunches and dinners there as well and they were really good. Staff was excellent as well. The suite sun deck was also great, less competition for chairs.

Srp431 got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in Pet peeves cruising besides chair hogs
Add me to this list as well. sometimes its the only way to get on, especially if you have seen a few full elevators already.

Yes, we asked for this as well. No issues each time

Srp431 reacted to GatorCruiser in Unvaccinated Kids
I’m telling you. It really feels pre Covid on here other than the crew wearing masks and the occasional guest as well. Symphony is jamming right now with nary a perceived worry. Windjammer was blowing up this am. Pool deck is jumping. Lots of kiddies frolicking. I don’t sense any neurosis from adults being around the children. So Far just good vibes all around. Ok time for a Bloody Mary! Cheers!

We use GS Labs for our testing this past Christmas and had no issues with it being accepted in Fort Lauderdale for our Allure cruise and again we have them schedules for our upcoming cruise next week on Symphony. Our results looked exactly like yours and no issues getting onboard . GS Labs has appointments every 5 minutes from 7am - 5pm and lots of appointments at each time slot and have always gotten our results w/in 30 minutes each time. We used the location in Eagan, MN by the way.

Srp431 reacted to wordell1 in Travel Agent Expectations
I tend to book my own cruises and then transfer them to my TA (MEI). In the past, I have booked through one if the large online travel agencies, and also direct through Royal. I am also an over planner and understand where you are coming from as I don't really need them to assist in vacation planning as most others would want.
All of the Covid cancellations and FCC issues along with issues applying the FCC made me rethink that for cruises. I spent WAY to long trying to get these issues resolved.
A bonus was the repricing that MEI provides. I now get occasional emails from my TA informing me that my cruise has been repriced. I can also let her know to be on the lookout for cabin upgrades at prices I am comfortable with.
For me, the TA is a safety net for when things go wrong.
