    My last few cruises, I could find Stone IPA and Terrapin Luau Krunkles (not everywhere--usually at the British pub and maybe a couple other places). Beyond that, it tends to just be your standard macro offerings.

    Showtimes should be about the same.

    No matter how much I kick, scream, or tie myself to a stool at the Schooner Bar, they make sure I'm gone by about 9:30-10:00am.

    They're not fridges,  but electric coolers that run 55 degrees instead of the common 38

    WesKinetic got a reaction from KristiZ in Cabins directly across from elevators   
    I was on Symphony two weeks ago with a room right by the elevator and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the noise level (or lack thereof). Could I occasionally hear people outside? Of course. But it was no worse than in any other room hearing people talking as they walk down the hallway. The elevator bank itself was far enough away and separated that I couldn't hear people actually waiting for the elevator--only those walking to/from.

    Yes, the morning of the 19th is fine. It is two calendar days--not 48 hours. So as long as your test is done sometime the 19th-21st, you're good.

    WesKinetic got a reaction from SebagoSue in Stupid question (probably) about luggage tags   
    Regular paper usually works fine. You're going to fold it over on itself multiple times, plus staple it so it's usually pretty solid. 

    If you're concerned about them ripping off, you can order tag holders with steel loops that work pretty well. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=royal+caribbean+luggage+tags&crid=1Z5OJOFINFWJ6&sprefix=royal+caribbean+l%2Caps%2C124&ref=nb_sb_ss_mission-aware-v1_1_17

    Obviously I can't promise anything but, on my last three cruises, I've been in similar circumstances and each time they let us all board together.

    Stop attacking people who ask simple questions.  If you feel a question is below your ability to remain civil it's time to move on.

    WesKinetic reacted to leesam82 in Photo package - digital v print   
    @JC123 I believe you can select digital and prints.  I recently purchased the 100 digital/print package on my most recent cruise. I didn't do both digital and prints so I cannot confirm this 100%. However,  One warning that I don't think is given enough to those who purchase the package is that once you decide a photo is going to be sent digitally you cannot remove it. For example I had some pictures earlier in the cruise that i thought I would get digitally. However later on I saw better pictures and wanted to replace those pictures with that. I was told at the photo center on board that once I select a digital photo I cannot remove it. They said for the staff to remove it I would need to essentially get rid of the pre bought package and then buy another package. So the lesson is select your digital photos towards the end of the cruise and make sure you know 100% that you want it.

    I actually tested positive on my pre cruise test in Feb.  It wasn't a false positive and was followed up with additional tests.  I would have never known I had it if I wasnt going on a cruise.  For me, not knowing I had it , I could have infected many more people had I not tested.

    WesKinetic got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in Grand Jury Duty question   
    I'm that lucky (?) guy who's been called twice for jury duty at times when I was supposed to be on a cruise. In both cases, once I called and explained the situation they were more than willing to delay my service to a later time. Your mileage may vary, but I got the impression that they're so used to hearing bogus excuses from people just trying to get out of jury duty that, once they realized I wasn't trying to get out of it, they were happy to help. 

    That said, a grand jury is a little different kind of animal. But it can't hurt to ask. Good luck!
