Extension cord for CPAP machine
PatsFanBrian replied to Mark B's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Prior to our last cruise last September, I filled out the special needs form mentioned above. The room attendant set it up for me. They'll also provide distilled water. -

The cruise industry is always a target. Any ship that deals with a noro outbreak is instantly in the news. The reality is that you do have thousands of people in close proximity who are constantly interacting with each other. Any communicable disease is going to spread easier. We all know that the crew is constantly reminding people to sanitize, but not everyone heeds the warnings. It is what it is. If it slows down the popularity of cruising, it may lead to lower prices.

Cruise Ships Affected by the Coronavirus
PatsFanBrian replied to PG Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
My wife just talked to her sister and the ship is just debarking now. Carnival allowed the passengers to stay in their rooms overnight rather than sending them off near midnight. -
Cruise Ships Affected by the Coronavirus
PatsFanBrian replied to PG Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Of course, they would not have been allowed off the ship if it was positive. But it's also important to note that the passenger did not show symptoms of Corona (fever, cough, shortness of breath) and yet they went through this charade anyways. My sister-in-law was understandably angry as were other passengers who had to rebook flights because of overreaction. -

Cruise Ships Affected by the Coronavirus
PatsFanBrian replied to PG Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Carnival Panorama - Debarkation yesterday was delayed until late Saturday night. My sister-in-law was on this cruise. A passenger was reported to be ill but no signs of the virus symptoms. The authorities stopped debarkation (which has started at 6:30 AM) until test results were returned which didn't happen until 10:00 PM. My wife talked to her sister a few times and passengers were initially not allowed to return to their rooms, so they had to stay at their debarkation locations. Finally during the afternoon, they were allowed to go back to their rooms until clearance was given. The nex -
Can't speak to Bonaire. We enjoyed Curacao. Our stop was 14 hours which is long for a cruise. In the morning, we took a tour to the distillery and then to a beach. In the afternoon, we walked the town and found a few nice surprises going up and down small side streets. At night, the town was lit up, the pastel colored buildings really jumped out and it had a very romantic feel. We really enjoyed this stop and would love to go back. In Aruba, we took a taxi to a beach in the morning, walked the town in the afternoon and then finished the evening with a sunset catamaran. Very nic

My handle and avatar of very self-explanatory. I'm enjoying reading the responses.

It's always gone by too quickly for me. Often the day is ending before it feels like it ever got going.

We're still Emerald and got Diamond pins on our last cruise, perhaps we got yours Just to make sure we didn't miss something, we checked at the C&A desk and it was indeed a mistake, so close........

I've never seen a "service" animal on a cruise, but we did have a pigeon while on Serenade last September.

Rhapsody of the Seas and NFL
PatsFanBrian replied to Johnstewarth's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
There will be multiple places to watch. They'll have all the national games (Pats/Cowboys, SNF, MNF), and at least one of the 1:00 games. -
Rhapsody of the Seas and NFL

Best laugh I've had in a while. I'll be in the stands making noise for my team. Should be a good game, but the weather won't cooperate. -
What's your favorite ship and why?
PatsFanBrian replied to Geoff P's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'm not sure I could really answer the question since each class of ship, and each ship within a class, brings unique experiences. My first was Freedom back in '06 and then Liberty a couple years later. We are planning on getting back on Freedom in early '21. I have a fondness for that class, probably because you never forget your first Then we went on an Oasis class binge, going on Oasis/Allure 3 times in a row. I can;t say anything negative about it We were on Quantum's first full sail back in '14 and that may have something to do with us not getting back on a Quantum class ship. -
The pools are definitely not heated.
