I wish they were open for lunch, its just too much meat to have in the evening....they just keep coming and offering you more...more....more...who can say no?

So Royal is still trying to get crew members that have been on ships for months back to their countries.....With all the world wide travel restrictions I can't how they will be able to get new crew members back to the ships for end of June or even July. Plus the US have a 14 day mandatory quarantine on anyone arriving....would they be allowed to do this quarantine on the ship or do they have to do this on land before boarding....
Can't imagine anything happening this summer....

Canada currently has a mandatory 14 day quarantine on anyone entering the country....I can't see them relaxing that before there is some sort of vaccine....
My guess is no Alaska this year. ☹️

There is nothing worse than having a bad first cruise, it really makes future cruises questionable. I can only say that I have been on about 110 cruises and 84 have been with RC because after trying a few other cruise lines they have always been the one we have the most fun on and we get some great deals. They are not the best at everything but they do check a lot of the boxes.
I would give them one more chance, maybe sail from Florida and on a newer ship and not during hurricane season....
All the best!

I do it right away but I don't print my Set Sail until a week before, in case there are any changes or I still don't have a room assigned.

On our last cruise we had 1 cabin the first week and internet worked great but the second week we moved to another cabin and the internet was spotty at best. The access point was too far away...in general internet works great around the ship but in room access is a bit hit and miss. 

I think this is one of the few times that being Canadian is an advantage....no tax on Casino Winnings.... 
Now all I have to do is win....

I like the new wear you best thing. In the end people will wear what they want anyways why use the word formal....
If I'm eating in a restaurant with my wife enjoying a nice meal, why would I care if some is at the next table in a tuxedo or slacks and a polo shirt. 

The best is to go with an open mind and make the best of whatever situation arises. The idea is to enjoy your vacation and not hang on small details. Things happen on every cruise!
Enjoy your cruise!

I asked a crew member about currency once and the reply was "we love tips in any currency".....I'm sure they have ways to exchange money between themselves, with more than 60 nationalities working onboard.

But we do have the FREE health care....😉

I am not aware that there is one. However, @Rob&Ana if you find out there is, please let us know. I would love to be able to use one!

I would love to be able to take advantage of the Royal Caribbean CC but as a Canadian I am not able to get one. We have many US currency CC available in Canada just not the RC one.....

Don't miss the back to back lunch they offer to consecutive cruisers in the dining room on turnaround day!
Enjoy your cruises!

That sounds early, normally they close at 9 or 9:30 depending when the dining times are but you are still able to get food for 30 min after. I think it just the time you must be inside the Windjammer. Normally the officers eat late so they have the food out for a while after they close.

That's the special Canadian deposit requirement, all others pay less. 😛

The change rooms and showers are separate for each gender. The shower stalls have shampoo dispensers like in your room and towels are provided.
