  1. The Hard Boiled eggs in WJ, found at Breakfast time only are just fine. They are generally to hot to peal until they sit on your plate a while. The only problem I have ever had was once at opening one morning the eggs were soft boiled and runny, that same batch 30 minutes later was cook completely through, chef must be like me and bring to a boil for just a minute and then let time do the cooking.
  2. Sounds to me if you received a rate of 1-1/2 double occupancy, not only did your TA change your cruise to Solo, but you are also Diamond + with at least 340 points as that is when the 1-1/2 Solo surcharge benefit kicks in. That just how I'm reading your statements.
  3. 4 years later - it just won't go away https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2023/07/11/court-allows-toddler-dropped-through-cruise-ship-window-lawsuit-resume
  4. Guess not https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2023/07/11/court-allows-toddler-dropped-through-cruise-ship-window-lawsuit-resume Do Judges really lack this much common sense?
  5. Wow - Sorry this happened to you. in my opinion anything like this does not bode well for the "KEY" and I agree it is 100% ships crew. If still onboard when you read this, go immediately to Guest Services and ask to speak with the "Hotel Director" speak to no one lower than them or the MHO (Manager Hotel Operations). Be polite and just make sure they are aware of the situation. Ask them to try to help with the situation.
  6. Not a one-off it happens at time much like missing magnets. Mostly kids that run unsupervised.
  7. Better yet if you are withing 30 days of the original booking, I would contact an MEI Travel Agent (they are blog supporters @Sharla) and transfer the booking to them. It costs you nothing to use them and they can get this children in a connecting room issue worked out for you easily. As far as any perks for the children in the Connecting Balcony that is going to very up to the Suite Concierge on board, I will say that they will almost certainly be able to embark and disembark with you through the Suite Priority lines. The other perk they can enjoy is the reserved seating in the theatre and shows as they rarely check the accompanying persons cards after the first person, especially so with children.
  8. Have sailed in both this year CPB and BWB and they both had advantages and disadvantages. CPB (central park balcony) I imagine if you are on deck 14 the pool noise is even louder, I was on Deck 12 and you know it is there if on your balcony. Sliding glass door closed I could rarely if ever hear any of it during the day. Evening music from the park is not loud, but more subdued, usually over before 9 pm. BWB (boardwalk balcony) Again on deck 12, even with the sliding door shut you know when they are having an Aqua show. Was on Allure 2nd from end and the good thing about the Aqua noise was it alerted me to go to my balcony to watch it again. Again sitting out other times there was some noise from the sports deck and other activities, but when inside it was only the Aqua show I could hear. My biggest complaint with BWB on the other 4 is that darn drop slide which has little use ruined the view. If the price allows saving a few hundred and price is a concern, I'd not hesitate to book these again.
  9. Actually, from what I have read, if it was recorded as an arrest, say for a DUI even if charges were dropped or dismissed, as long as it shows up in the database they are looking at Canada will deny you entry. Same applies to records that have been expunged, as they truly never actually get pulled/removed from the original database, they are just marked. Canada can be very tricky especially with old DUI's. How they get the information leaves me wondering
  10. It's a shame to, as San Juan is a great winter port of departure. Easy to do a 7 day Southern Itinerary. Problem now is the tiny ships just don't cut it. Get Freedom back there.
  11. What a waste of a nice new ship to use it on 3 and 4 night cruises where it is going to get constantly abused by those that sail it. Just my opinion, but doesn't look like a good business decision from my perspective.
  12. If it was truly a "Biometric" Passport you would not need the physical copy to return to the USA. That is what I mean, why do i need something "physical" if you can determine I am who I am through "Biometrics"
  13. time for the US to step up with Biometric Passports, then you will "Never Leave Home Without It"
  14. looks like your trip is 1.4 cents per award point if used now - - value in most options is 1.5 cents but the range is 1.4 to 1.7 generally. I also tend to use them when I have enough for an award flight unless I am trying to save up for a specific planned future flight.
  15. Good for you! You obviously know you attract more bees with honey. I truly hope you enjoy your cruise.
  16. I belive all plants on the ship must be approved by USDA for any ship that port stops in USA. From talking with the on-board horticulturist it I quite a process to get a new varity of plant approved
  17. that is correct 5 day and longer cruises only. Lunch is usually pretty decent menu in my opinion, generally 3 entre options.
  18. Yes the port was able to convert one of the warehouses next to pier 14, outlined in Red on picture When they first opened it around March or April of this year you could not find much about on their web site, haven't looked lately though, and you have to take the Port's shuttle from all of Pier 14 parking I believe, they will not let you walk to the Terminal
  19. I like to check out what each bar has in the form of various liqueurs and I don't ever remember seeing either form of Chartreuse.
  20. In that case I use Michelle at MEI, and she just sent me $400 price drop on a future cruise. What I like is I send an email and it happens. She did a great job with getting all the Covid FCC straightened out. For me it's not All price, but impeccable service, which is what I get
  21. Don't forget September I'm watching for these also
  22. I also do long pants no problem (about 6 times so far) Personally I've ever only lost one pair of men's underwear and that pair was due to be lost soon any way Again I never send expensive dress or delicate, mostly cotton t-shirts gym shorts, khakis shorts and long, underwear, socks Great benifit for my b2b2b cruises
  23. Thanks I have yet to ask photographers a similar question. I do know a lot of bartenders And Of course I interigate every room steward I come in contact with on a regular basis even the one down the hall that sees me regular. Have met photographers that I both like and take good pics. Problem is as I only take the free one. But if they get credit for each Pic I'll visit with those i know and like more, even if not dressed for a Pic I'll select Will also talk shop with them a little more going forward Thanks for info
  24. Not same experience here, 11 weeks this year, 5 different ships, food might not be 5 star, but it is still good, occasionally a meal is sub par but not regularly.
