We are going on our 1st cruise in October, 4 nights on Navigator to Catalina and Ensenada.  The hubby is worried he won't like cruising so I picked a short one.  We are flying down from AK for and going to spend a few days in LA before the cruise.  I researched a while before deciding which one we wanted to try our sea legs on!  

Just go to guest services and they will replace it for you. You can also go there if your card is damaged or is starting to peel.

I had it in a plastic pouch attached to a lanyard 

No Second Breakfast? What about elevensies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? 🤣

If you booked an excursion through Royal you usually will get priority tendering where you meet as a group and they walk you off the ship..or you are given priority tickets for the tender to bypass any lines.

Sometimes a cruise date with your special other and no one else, is the best.  My wife and I, just the two of us, did the Anthem cruise to Bermuda a few years ago, we really did enjoy it.  First time we realized that we could take a vacation, by ourselves, and have a really great time.
Happy sailing to you!

Our 1st cruise sails October 17! On Navigator to Catalina and Ensenada.   I'm looking forward to everything!  But it will be nice for it to just be the 2 of us with no teenagers or animals for a few days 😊 we have an aft balcony cabin on deck 9, hope to see some pretty views

I like Sun Bum for going to the Caribbean because it's reef safe, so I can use the same one for the whole cruise including port days. 
 

Sun bum or coola 

It's going to look exactly like this one, but on the opposite corner of the ship.
Aft balconies are the bomb.  Enjoy!
 

Hubby laughs at me.  I panic about suitcase weight every trip and yet have never had a bag over 35lbs.   This time I kept moving stuff around & accidentally put the hot sauces my son bought in a carry on.  Took them all ☹️☹️.  

🙂 that is me!  We are booked on our 1st cruise October 2022 and my other half has already asked me to stop online shopping lol.  My excuse is we live in Alaska and I'm  "worried" I won't be able to find stuff I want to take with me if I wait til later.  I travel regularly for work and can pack for that with no issues but vacation packing is a completely different story!

My curse is to overpack.
 
Part of my excuse... it's winter where I get on the plane.  So I'm wearing winter clothes.  Need another set to fly home in. And another set in case I spill on myself.  4 pairs of shoes.  I only actually wore 2.  2 pairs of dress pants.  Wore 1.  About 6 extra shirts, again just in case I spill on myself.  See how all this works?
 
My system has yet to fail me.

Yep. Especially the shoes.

A bit of humor for this Sunday night.  Who here raise your hand male or female or however you identify packs like they need their entire closet with them as they fear I may need that or something OR is this just me as I watched my father pack like this my entire life?  I swear QVC and Amazon probably know me on a first name basis already!   

Having just gotten up the courage, after much support from my teenaged daughters, to actually be brave enough to show my cancer scars in a bathing suit on my upcoming cruise, I'm just crossing my fingers that I don't show up as a "cringe-worthy" line item on this lovely list. 

I started off only going to CVS. Then when I tried the Abbott home test, I never looked back

Thank you!  I did book directly with Royal.  Called them and got it taken care of!

If you used a travel agent, you will need to do it through them. If you booked direct,  you can just call Royal.
