This happened on a smaller scale on our transatlantic on Wonder this past fall.  When we had a bit of a swell on, 18 stories up the ship is listing a fair bit. In last springs transatlantic we had made a fairly sharp turn when the captain had to change course in rough seas to change course, you could feel the ship list.

My wife and I are getting ready to sail on Wonder of the Seas and it looks like they blew out the Jazz Club for the new High Rollers casino room. Did they relocate the Jazz Club or am I out of luck? I love the Jazz Club on the other Oasis ships, although I know it was rarely full. Thanks!

They have jazz nights in the The Music Hall some nights.

@KenCP sounds like you're on Wonder now. Any way we could get an updated Cruise Compass? I'll be on the same sailing Dec 11. Much appreciated!

I was on the Trans-Atlantic that just ended in Port Canaveral Nov. 13, 2022.

Other than the trees, the orchids and rosemary it looks like every plant has been replaced, even the vines on the posts.  None of the plants are the same as in May.

I was just on the Transatlantic and people were doing this activity.  The pictures did not look like what I have seen as an escape room.  

Someone did mention that is is a form of escape game and they are waiting for more props etc. That have not arrived due to supply. Hain and the ship being in Europe for the summer.

It is looking good again now. Everything has been replanted now it just has to fill-in a little.

Quest is back on Wonder. It happened a couple nights ago 

On Wonder now and everything, even Effectors 2 is up and running.  The evolution of the carousel horses are now installed.

Quest Show is back too!

With those self tests though there's really not a day or time stamp as I understand it. Have a couple teens in my group in December that will need to show a test result just trying to figure out the easiest and most efficient way of doing it so we're not held up boarding. 

The test for the transatlantic have to be proctored, in that case there is a date and time stamp on the report.

That was an incorrect deployment flyer. It has since been updated with the Jan 27 date.

Thanks Matt!

Looks like Dec. 16, 2023 is the first sailing.

They are all back for Wonder of the Seas aswell.

Cruise compass say early bird 630am to 7am. Then breakfast 7 to 11am. What's early bird, just coffee etc?

It was just tea, coffee a section of breads and some meat and cheese on your left when you walk in. That what it was in May.  Will be on again October /Nov, if I am up that early with the clocks falling back every day or so I will check again.

Hello! New to royal Caribbean and I was just wondering if I get the beverage package including nonalcoholic drinks, will I be able to get a protein smoothie outside of the fitness center? Is that included? Thank you in advance!  

You will be charged extra for the protein powders that they add to the smoothie, I think it was $0.75US per scoop.  

Will Crown and Anchor members get a chance to book before it is open to the general public?

I've heard that anything that goes into an envelope is supposed to be turned in and shared among all the crew.  Does anyone have any insight to this?

I always give them directly to the staff person who it was meant for just for that reason.  Not 100% convinced it all goes to that individual if it is left in the room, or dropped off to customer service.

I've been left envelopes for extra tips on every cruise that I've taken since 1999.

Because you use them every time there is a note on your profile.  When your room steward does their prep for your arrival they know what to expect.

To my opinion this is an issue created by RCL.

I regular survey people tend to give 8 and 9 as good score an 10 for exceptional. If RCL consider a  9 or 8 to be a problematic score there should explain it in the beginning of the survey or in the CC otherwise they almost force the crew members to explain it ...

 

 

 

It seems they have gone the way of the car dealerships.  After you get your car serviced they ask that you give them 10's across the board, anything less and they do not get considered for awards for their dealership.

I think your conscience can be clear.  What you are describing is not a crew member requesting a positive rating.  It is a crew member reminding you that you will get a survey and letting you know the line where managers define failure.  He/she isn't saying give me a 10.  They are alerting you that while on your scale, 9 might be super good, they are working pass/fail.

I was on Wonder and had many of the servers specifically asked us to rate them 10.  We were asked so many times that I did mention it in the survey.  I don't mind being asked to do the survey but constantly being asked is a bit much.  I always mention the ones who I have had a great service from in the survey, and tip them extra as well.

Clearly the older ships are lacking in electrical plugs as well as USB charging situations. Would someone here graciously share what they use for the European outlets to maximize charging things up within the cabin? Is it two straight prongs, is it two straight and one flat? I researched but there are so many options, all types of plugs with different versions. I want to avoid boarding and finding out the power hub I purchased was wrong and does not work. Can someone point me to a specific item that would work? 

Thanks so much! 

(I watched Danny's video about the Serenade & while I know he's 6'6" and his daughter likes to take a bath in the various tubs & I don't believe for one second he fits in that shower pod comfortably; I digress..... but he does he mention the outlets shortage in the cabins) LOL I think I like the new music he uses now though.

2 Prong are the ones used on the ship.  The 3 prong is a UK plug. If you bring 2 adapters you should have no problem powering everything.

Can I add a person that has booked UDP separately from another reservation when I make my reservations on the first day?   Or somehow have his reservation link to mine ?  

it would be so much easier on boarding day if I could just make the one reservation and have all three booked.

@BigKarl I have seen many people just take the 6 pack of water on top of their roll on carry on.  They did not have any issues.

Do they serve oysters in the windjammer on the oasis class ships at either lunch or dinner?

Only seen them in Hooked restaurant.
