Yeah I received my refund today. 

If the idea of some violence near a port concerns you avoid most US based cruise ports.  Don't ever visit a major US city.  New York?  Boston? L.A.?  Vegas?  Chicago?  Just to name a few.  The list goes on.  Many dangerous places here at home.  A tourist in some shady places in CA?  Good luck.  
 

I am also editing my screen name to reflect the change. Tonychairhog21

We sail Icon in a couple weeks with the entire family and I refuse to lose the pool chair battle. I plan to go buy a bag full of chair hog supplies from the dollar store (blue tooth speakers, cheap purses, beach bags, Boca chair clips) and secure my family a row of chairs. IMHO there has been enough time for the company to come up with a better game plan to finally stop the chair hogs and they have failed. I refuse to spend 5 figures on a holiday trip and be at a disadvantage any longer. I know this statement will come under fire but it’s what I feel is necessary. I have attached a pic of the Icon pool deck before 7am in March and you will see that every single desirable pool chair has been accounted for by the hogs. There is no excuse for this and if the companies position is a posted sign and a vanilla threat to remove items then I am prepared to take that risk and gamble the $20 in newly acquired chair hog supplies. Done & dusted. 

Looking good after the election!

There is shade at the bar 😆

Thanks, the reviews and menu look great.

I have heard good things about Daily Eats on Howard Ave. Metro Diner is good. I have been to the one in St Augustine.  There is one on Kennedy.

Let me be the first to suggest Waffle House!

I could chew through that with my nail clipper.

A solo cruise for yourself. A quiet house for your husband. Everybody wins.

This is worth a mention, the Blog nor the posters here are/should be offering investment advice. They are not. These gains by Royal are beyond expectations and those who bought low have and deserve bragging rights. 
Does this mean you missed the RCL gravy train? No, not really. There are lots of goods things coming down the pike; being new ships and Perfect Day destinations. We all know the ships are sailing at full capacity for all of next year or more.
With investment apps like Robinhood and Webull etc. where with 10 minutes of time you can open an account for free, trade commission free, and (here's the important part) buy fractional shares for as little as $1 or $5  ahhhhh..... nobody here is going to say you shouldn't be doing that. Even at todays share price of $205 or so. The same folks here will also not pass judgement how frequently you've been using your drink package. 
 
 
 
 
 

Everyone, please be respectful of new people sharing their thoughts. This review has pros and cons, and it's not some crazy person coming in here and complaining the sheets aren't to their liking and that ruined the cruise.

Another one and done post. Let me call you a WAAA

Good advice for any type of room service order.

We had a 6 night Western Carib in Sept where Labadee got substituted with Gran Turk.

Ok, am I the only one mildly offended/amused by “early sixties and still has the ability to walk on her own”????🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Took our, then, 10 year old grandson on a 4 day back in Feb 2020.  Maybe 40 young South American girls celebrating, I think, their Quinceniera (sp?).  Boy did he get an eyeful!!!

I would have grabbed my robe from the room and used that 😆
