  1. Early February on Symphony the specialty restaurants pictures were the printed varity (yes I hate that also) but we had left the restaurant before the photographer returned. They were avaliable to view in hard copy at the photo area. We used are diamond coupon there to purchase one. Future I'll ask photographer before letting them take photos if digital, if answer is no I won't waste my time letting them take any pictures. I don't want hard copies, to difficult to transport.
  2. If on setting up you departure info you say you have a domestic flight on one of the valid airlines Confirmed. I rcvd the letter on Symphony today
  3. Typical fly by, never to be heard from again. Btw on Symphony now as well as last week. Crew is marvelous and accommodating. Ship is in great shape. Wonderful and approachable Master, Capt Rick. Things can happen, 2 cruises ago we had no cards on our door, grabbed the first officer I saw, he went to guest services for mehad my cards in under 15 minutes.
  4. Normally you will be lucky to snag the latest reservation of the night if anything at all on maybe a few nights being the first ones there on boarding day.
  5. Agree rairly is the offer as good or better
  6. Royal already hits you up for 18% per purchased drink or on the total cost of the package. That is more than adequate. Now on free Diamond or Casino drinks you might want to add something, but it really has started to depend, how generous is the pour? Seems that lately past 9 months they are measuring more, generous pours less often. Compound that with the fact that most bars the bartenders pool tips. Jmho but tipping extra helps very little in the overall scheme.
  7. I have spent numerous sailing in suites since the covid resumption. When the SL lounge did not have the brand label I preferred, if it was on the ship they gladly found it for me.
  8. Even if you don't add additional tip to the already paid 18% gratuity, you need to know that being a waiter in specialty restaurants and even CK is a highly competitive and sought after position On Royal ships, once they have achieved it, they are then in line for the next open position On their next contract. So basically once they have achieved the position when they return they have the next open position on that ship.
  9. It's been a while but in Sep 2022 sail out of Miami our experiance was the same taking royal shuttle to MIA. Sailed again from Miami in Nov 2022 and decided to Uber to MIA, much better, on the way out I pointed out to wife the backup already forming for Royals shuttle service. So I'd venture to say this is the typical experiance
  10. Highly recommend a private tour with Ronys. He was able to customize our however we wanted. Not sure of price but he was very quick to respond to my numerous inquiries, usually within 24 hours or so
  11. FYI, just returned from a horseback excursion through Ronys in Roatan. He used Big Rock Horseback Riding and they were excellent. Highly recommend Ronys.
  12. Just return from a private tour with Rony. 5 of us all day most activities, sloths, horseback ride covered. Around $100 per person. Much better than a ships tour. EXCELLENT service, well worth the slight additional expense. Not a worry at all about returning to ship on time. Very professional in that regard.
  13. Wonder this morning day 5 at breakfast in Windjammer we were offer dinner at Mason jar as buy at 50% off. When I mentioned so just like my Pinnacle BOGO, she offer to let me use my BOGO at 50% off the 1st full price meal and 2nd one still free. Bummer because we are traveling with family and they are very picky eater and are not interested in the menu at all. Just my luck. Yes we are not going to abandon them.
  14. Or both just share the logins one at a time, your 2 days, then later his 2 days. If you can forgo day one and start on day 2 you can make this work. If you can also skip one day in the middle it really stretches out to most of the cruise. Also when using the 2nd two freeway chxk the price for the rest of the cruise. Sometimes it only $20-40 to add the rest of the cruise. We do this all the time. Good luck
  15. Yes I have seen it a number of times on sea days. Personally I dislike it, but aperently somebody does like it.
  16. It is always totally up to the master of the ship (Captain). We can generalize, but no guarantees.
  17. Also some today no issues Clear cashe, history and reboot? Maybe
  18. On my five cruises from San Juan Puerto Rico, but all pre-covid, checking is just like all other ports in the 11am to noon range for earliest ones. The ship still arrives around 7 am and begins disembarkation as soon as cleared, have alway been to airport by 10:30 am. Biggest concern from San Juan has been those the check luggage for their flights as most airline will not accept luggage until 4 hours before flight departure. This has been my experiance.
  19. Most likely at a specialty resturant the answer is Yes. Just know the restaurant does have a closing time, around 1:30 I think.
  20. You blasted me for saying you provided wrong info, But just checked in for Wonder this week for a 10:30 boarding time. Please know if what you are saying is truly accurate, please
