2B or not 2B, is that the question?

There is a reason their BOGOHO is often referred to as BOGOHOAX ?

Fortunately this is first ROYAL cruise so it was our honeymoon on "Viking Serenade" in September of '90 (car ferry conversion came later for her). Alaska was great and 29 years later still married....BUT she hates cruising and many folks refer to her as the "phantom wife" since I do cruise solo-not single ;>)

Our first cruise was in May of 1999 on the Enchantment of the Seas.  I proposed to my wife on the stage of the Orpheum Theater with the assistance of the Cruise Director who tricked her into getting up on stage under the guise that she had lost her SeaPass card.  Pretty lasting memory if you ask me.  ?

For me the more wavy the better. It's the small rollers that get me sick.

Then it isn’t a gratuity, it’s “salary subsidization” 

If you are going to continue to sail with Royal Caribbean, then there is nothing but up sides to climbing the ladder.  Status for the sake of status makes no sense but status to enjoy the benefits of status, does.
When they started converting the Concierge lounges to Suites Lounge and kicked the D+ down to the DL they ALMOST lost me but I played their silly game and began cruising nearly exclusively in suites. I guess I showed them !  ?? 

The "paid in full" has always been part of the policy.  I don't say that to defend Royal, just to remind us all that now that final is 90 days from sailing, it makes it even easier to be tripped up by this.

I have experienced this a few times (out of over 100 cruises though so not a huge deal). The two where no one knew what a Pinnacle was kinda surprised me and the last time was just last month in Bayonne. They didn't want me to sit with the suites, which is the correct answer, but Anthem boards quickly so just boarded with "Key" passengers. 

We did this on the first HM t/a which we thought was fantastic. If the daily rate for the 2 bedroom GS comes in at an acceptable rate for you compared to 2 connecting cabins, I vote go for it! Both bedrooms have real doors and of course the 2 bathrooms is a "must have." Having 24 hour lounge access and the cocktails is a nice cherry on top too. Beer, wine and cocktails do have brand limitations in the lounge but the concierge should have that list on your welcome aboard sheet as a reference on day one (if not there are usually some in the lounge as a reminder).

This is why I advocate never to use a debit card and always a credit or charge card. Why put needed cash at risk. Banks claim they will not hold funds but I don't believe them. 

I left a middle manager speechless when I argued that they could skip doing one commercial of theirs to help fix their "IT" glitches ;>)

I think I had an interior cabin the size of that balcony ?

I love this all of these except deck 6 (same level as that wide open space) and I think you truly lucked out. I have customers that "had" the same aversion until they were in one. How quickly most folks forget it was ever an issue. Hope that's what happens in your case too!

I just own the wrinkles and go for it.  I'm on vacation.  I don't iron when I'm home and I'm SURE as sh*t not gonna iron when I'm on a cruise !

If I'm not ordering a "salty dog," I found out I like cosmos on Celebrity. So I order one in a conventional glass while on Royal (not insecure, just clumsy ;>)

My best customer HAD it until the Costco VISA made it's debut. 3% on travel is sweet but I know it's not a card that everyone has in their arsenal.

Man this is why I post here now and not cruise critic. You guys are nice and helpful. CC are some angry jerks. I mean some are nice and helpful but a lot of not so nice people. I only really sail Royal Caribbean so I might as well just post here going forward. Thank you again!
