Yes, I was referring to a merger, not the widely publicized Healthy Sail Panel...

I haven't heard any sort of rumors of the sort, but the way things are right now I think it would be crazy to rule anything out!

Ooh, I had forgotten about this. An MDR breakfast was the only time I ever had smoked kippers. It was a nice way to change things up a bit!

YES! Great choice! For me: Stroganoff Strudel from Ludwig's Garten in Philadelphia. Crispy Rice and drunken noodles from Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas. Peanut Butter Pie from Willow Valley Resort in Lancaster, PA. Sweet crepes from literally every street vendor in Paris.

Same. This seems like a perfect lunch activity. Watch/do the interactive portion on my phone with the family while eating, stop by the muster station after we're done eating, enjoy cruise.

Thoughts on Air2Sea? (I know I have mine, but I figure it might be useful for new viewers seeking out info.!)

In fairness, this is an appropriate window of time to expect Royal's IT department to correct an issue.

While I hate to double post the same info in various threads, just in case some people don't make it over to the Shore Excursions section I'll post it here, too. I just got all of my Cruise Planner refunds yesterday from the cruise Lifted and Shifted on May 11th. Like an idiot, I didn't cancel the CP purchases prior to completing the L&S, so I'm sure that added to my wait time. As an aside, I called in on July 9th to check on the status of the refund, and a very helpful customer service representative named Lacey told me she could see the system tried to process my refund on 6/1, but a computer error prevented it from processing. Why it took me calling to find this error, 🤷‍♂️ , but she pushed the transaction through and said that it would be back on my card in 7-10 business days. All of the funds got there in 6, so fair play there.

This is 100% where I'm at. It always make me think of what George Carlin said:

Lift and Shift promises to category protect your booking, but not specifically CABIN protect. If you're in an Oceanview balcony, you're guaranteed another Oceanview balcony (or better), but it could be anywhere in the ship that is the same category. Since you initially booked a GTY, I'd guess that they might put you back into a GTY status for '21, but as with all things Royal, consistently inconsistent seems to be the rule. I'm interested in finding out what happens in your case. Good luck to you! 🤞

THERE he is. 🤣 Good to see you back, @KWong.

The Guard doesn't require a Congressional nomination for the Academy, so if he's all about that Ring Knocker life, he can do it without all the games. Just sayin'. 😉
