Hagar

Just in one on Symphony and we did love being on 17, and Coastal was phenomenal!

Only negative was going upstairs in the suite. Bottom step kept trying to kill me since it just seemed "off"......and we can't both be 

Lines were not separated but the way you proceed from checkpoint to checkpoint, it kept it flowing smoothly.

Boarded her last month without difficulty

They had a technical "glitch" that delayed it one night last month (October 9th run) but the show the following day was phantastic!

Status for children does hit a D+ ceiling but that doesn't mean they won't be allowed to join their parents for breakfast in a specialty venue.

Royal loves to keep us all guessing anyway don't they? 

The only time I was asked for my DD-214 at the pier, I swear I could have just as easily have handed the rep an old "E-ticket" from Disneyland 

Throwing another casino log on the fire here;

As a agent, casino now blocks me from using automation to apply a price drop to my customers bookings that have casino $ certificates applied (NOT referring to free offers, even $100 per person locks me out). I have to call them and then trust that they will do the right thing. They won't even send me a copy reflecting MY commission, they just tell me the amount over the phone. I don't see this holding up but my franchise ends next summer so I probably won't be there for "the fix."

Side note-I'll get my fourth and fifth spires during 2022 so I love the product as much as I detest the "glitches."

Capacity is already increasing as we approach the "holly-daze" so I'll throw my 2 pennies into sticking with appointment time 

We just brought individually packaged Halloween gummies on the October 9th run of the Symphony. Didn't want to risk chocolate since we flew in from the left coast but I can imagine that chocolate would have kicked it up a notch!

45 days is correct...for now anyway (  Royal "IT" committee in session)

Self assist in Miami was a piece of cake for us on 10-16 (Symphony). Facial recognition for customs worked well too.

Spinning was $20 per session on Symphony.

Even though I was paying for everything on this run, dear wife didn't want to cheat on her Peloton back home

Symphony two weeks ago-masks off for everyone using the equipment once we walked into the actual fitness center (no reservations needed).

We didn't take an actual class but we did go 5 of the 7 "daze"

C&A rep was surprised to see the thousand point disparity between DW and I. She did ask permission to address the elephant in the room though. Not awkward at all from my viewpoint....DW dislikes cruising just as much as I love it! 

She did just join me on Symphony last week but it was her first run since Harmony crossed the t/a for the famous "3 sisters" shot in 2016.

B2B used to be a piece of cake but feedback this month has been pretty good. We didn't do it on Symphony last week but I did look at the info provided to B2B passengers. Seemed like they had "it" together 

Pre-Covid, my flight was scheduled to arrive in EWR but was diverted to LGA. Traffic jams and bad info almost made me miss the ship. Shuddering even while thinking about it 

I was SO glad to be back onboard (just shy of 2 full years without a cruise fix) that I was more generous on this run than on any previous cruises.

Just off Symphony on the 16th and crew numbers supposedly surpassed passenger count. Coastal Kitchen well used for dinner (since they honored so many Royal Up bids). Everything else seemed smooth and efficient to us. Like so many posters we can't say enough good things about the dynamic crew! 

We just used the at home "E-Med"  and was pleasantly surprised with the ease and rapid results.

Not an endorsement since it isn't free, just adding my 2 pennies into the pot, Hagar the "not so" Horrible

Friends just had their bid accepted on Tuesday for our Saturday run on Symphony (balcony to "GS")

Old normal would have been to go on 6 cruises in 2022.

When I saw my current count holding at "only 11," I felt surprised that I hadn't doubled my norm 

Guess the creek on my Grandpa's farm wasn't the only place to catch "catfish!"

If the booking you want to transfer meets the time constraint, and it isn't paid in full, your  current t/a would have to release their interest in the booking before another one could "accept" it. It might have been rooted in good intentions when this obstacle was created but in practical application nowadays, it  

It really is a shame that they printed up the formula for us well in advance....

..but didn't teach the "bad robot"

Good job, and good reviews on them from what I have seen. Our Allure run in a "GT" was cancelled last February so never used one with the Jacuzzi, but I do enjoy the "GT" category. Did Harmony t/a (the famous three sisters photo op) in one and it was a sweet suite!
