Yup, been noticing this for a while now. 

Another one post and leave ?

I love Labadee. Yes it is different from PDCC but in a laid back type of way. The only thing I don't enjoy is the open air market but it's a beautiful beach day.  If I had to choose I would actually prefer Labadee but the best is when a sailing visits both private islands. Here I am last March living my best life in Labadee!!

I reached out to Royal via Facebook. Here are dimensions of the bag:
Height: 15 inches
Length: 16.5 inches
Width: 8.5 inches

The one we did in October was a four night, and there was an ice show on that one. 👍

I found the above article that states lunch and dinner are $14.99, breakfast is free.  We've never tried breakfast at Johnny Rockets, so I hope to remember to try it out!  
 

So you established an account just for this observation?

Same!  We are definitely going to Sabor!  Not sure we will get to Giovani's; we have Chops+1.  Plus, we'll end up at Johnny Rockets at some point too, I'm sure.  

That's what they want you to think

Through these pages we are often told to book early. Sometimes its ego, or just place procrastination. All too often I see people wait longer than they should have Bottom line? Delaying costs dearly. In my case I had to wait for my fiancé's work to approve a job shift. Should have been several weeks ago but only happened today. Four of the cruises I had considered were no longer available. A couple others were sold out of cabins we would have interest in. That left three, all of which had at least doubled in price since I first shopped them. I selected one and called her to make sure she could get the dates off. Just in the time it took to make that call and reload a booking it went up another $200 and three of six remaining rooms on board were gone. Today's one was something beyond my or her control but years ago I dragged my feet on a 3 night on Majesty. I should have been done at $500 or so. By waiting it cost me near triple that. So.....  To those who ask when the "best" time to book? Listen to the ones who have been there done that and book as soon as possible. 

They usually have Hold'em tournaments on sea days for $100 buy in and at start of game have option to double your chips for another $50 which of course everyone on the table does. Usually top 3 pay out.
As for cash games they usually are later in the evening. Casino host usually requires at least 5 players in order to allocate a dealer. I believe it was $2/$5.
This was at least my experience on my recent New Years Eve cruise on Vision of the Seas. Not sure of others but on this trip some of the games got pretty serious in terms of the pots.

This is the cooler being sold on board.

The one we bought is a little different. Here are the photos. It’s more like a soft sided cooler bucket. It also has an attached bottle opener. 

I ended up booking a Peggy's Cove tour (one of the shorter ones) to lock in an excursion.  I was going to stick with Hop On Hop Off, but so many of the comments are about wait times and full buses and I don't really want to deal with that on this trip when we only have 1 port day.  I'm getting excited as I also purchased dining and drink/internet packages.   Not much else to do, but wait.  

Magnets, yes.
I am not aware of any size limitations as long as you stay within the confines of your door.

We would never consider canceling our tips.  We do provide extra tips to crew members who have made our cruise memorable or crew members who don’t get the recognition that others do.   On one cruise we heard two of the pool deck attendants talking…One was wishing the other a happy birthday.  Psycho went and bought a birthday card and we put 20 bucks in it.   When the young man came back by, we handed him the card and wished him happy birthday.   The look on his face was priceless and we will never forget it…He did asks how we knew it was his birthday.  

I think this is a personal preference deal for most of us. 
To me, $112 per person per week for across the board good or better than good service each employee I encounter, is reasonable. And even though we are not rolling in money, I don't think we've been on a cruise where we didn't hand out a few extra 20s to those who went over and above to make out trip better.
That said, I have traveled with a family member who ordered multiple dinners every night and whose wife made nightly special requests, whose son ordered off menu every night, and did not offer a single dollar extra that I saw.  For all I know, they may not have tipped at all.
If I can afford to pay for a cruise in the first place, I am a fortunate person.  I don't mind digging a little deeper into my pocket.  Makes me feel good about myself.  If I were wealthier, I would do more.

It's such a small amount of money at $16 per day per person considering they are serving you for 3 meals, cleaning your room, and all the interactions in-between.  I don't get the obsession with the tip money.  We tipped $27 on a $100 dinner (3 of us) just the other day... just for dinner.

Up to you. We pay the gratuities and tip those who we have direct contact with. It's better than following the person who wipes the tables after we eat at the buffet or Resteraunt. What about those who clean the public restrooms, are we supposed to chase them down for a tip as well.

Too funny!  This is a mom/son (13) cruise for us as well!  

We too recently booked for March 2025, which means we currently have 5 Royal bookings.
Anyone that doesn't cruise like us (and "us" as some on here on Royal Caribbean Blog) may think we're nuts and don't get it.  But...we know school dates far in advance, we know we want to cruise and this is how you get the best price.  I find, especially these days, cruise bookings only go up.  I have one that has gone up by $1000, another by $3500, and even our Icon booking has already gone up by $500 and it was only booked just over 2 months ago.  So definitely good to book as soon as you know your dates.
Also, for our March 2025, we booked one of those staterooms where there are only a few and they are already no more available, so always good to book earlier rather than later if you want a specific room.  We do book refundable though so as it gets closer, there is no harm (aside from sadness and disappointment) if we need to cancel.
P.S. - OP, DH and I were just on Liberty.  Great ship!

Here’s my advice. If you can name all the future cruises you have booked, you haven’t booked enough 😉

Yep, happened on the balcony next to ours. Apparently they had just met in the club a few hours before and decided to head to his cabin and make their way onto the balcony. I think the whole port side of the ship could hear her.

Is pre cruise testing coming back?  👀

🙂 Smile your on CCTV and it can get boring on the bridge at night.
