  1. Shake only with Vodka ,stirred with gin because it dissipates the top notes .I like both
  2. I have to agree.We were a tad underwhelmed at the upgrade, it was more of a cram in more cabins to allow more passengers.The suite lounge was great though and the staff fantastic as usual
  3. I agree with the comments above I am sure your son would love the choices in the windjammer as well as the main dining room no need to get a dining package on such a short trip especially when you are in port one day...have a great time
  4. We found the change of service pattern on Ovation Solarium Bistro unsatisfactory as well .They advertise table service of entree when booking online but we found we had to collect it at the buffet usually this would be no problem but the plates were so hot it was nearly impossible to pick them up as they were sitting on heated surfaces ,also there was a queue waiting for a spare chef to come out and place hot plates on dinner plates ....will not go back to this venue again we were looking forward to it but it was disappointing....no complaints at all with the other food outlets
  5. check in times still apply with the warning you will be disadvantaged if you turn up early....the only good thing is if you do early check in online, you pick your own arrival time slot...we were on Ovation from Sydney this month on a balcony and it was smooth as silk without the key ..no queue straight onboard
  6. sent them an email regarding not updating points from recent cruise and was told it would take at least 30 days .......what happened to the usual 10 days at most?
  7. November 10th 2023 Ovation of the seas...... also January 27th 2024 Brilliance of the seas
  8. Well after Ovation this year and Brilliance next Jan it might be our last Royal cruise...We tend to like the radiance class so will be looking further afield to cruise on smaller ships
  9. Its just a sampler on Ovation for a long weekend commencing on the 10th Nov for a mother / daughter get away...originally booked it because it stopped in Eden for a day but Royal changed the itinerary at the last minute .We decided to keep the booking because it was a good deal with credits I had left ....
  10. Thanks for this ....reading your blog has made me soooo ready for my cruise tomorrow ...it is easy to forget those silly/weird moments when people watching that make you laugh at how different we all are
  11. Thank you for your blog @Neesa It was fun sailing along with your family,I admire your positive outlook and wish you happy hunting for your next adventure
  12. I am so sorry at your news.You may want to consider your vulnerability to contracting Covid whilst on the ship ...it may delay your treatment when you get off due to lowered immunity if you have to have chemo/radiation.as @smokeybandit says your doctor is the only person to guide you with this decision..stay well
  13. Its all a bit circular with CAS points, thanks @twangster for your explanations ,I rang Royal in the end and was told it was lucky I did because my CAS no. was linked to my husbands but because I booked with his no. they would probably change the primary guest to his name as @AshleyDillo said earlier.I cannot imagine my adult daughters reaction in finding she was sharing a room with her dad Anyway alls well that ends well..The booking was linked to his account email (apparently Royal gets confused with conflicting email accounts ,it doesn't really matter so long as my girl and I get our cruise time together
  14. Thanks for your help I booked sailing under his no but put myself and daughter down as passengers ie 2 guests only... I have not received confirming email yet and deposit is pending in banking account so I will contact them on Monday if things do not progress
  15. I booked this in his name then put myself and daughter as guests it has accepted booking so
  16. I have just tried to book another cruise for my daughter and I using my C&A and it says it is invalid... but recognises onboard when I am onboard for next set sail when travelling with my husband...should I book this in his name then put myself and daughter as guests or just ring them and book .
  17. Could anybody tell me please, if I cruise with my daughter but not with my husband (for once)will his C&A be the same as mine next time we cruise together, or will his points always be lower than mine?
  18. I have booked this GS with large balcony on Ovation leaving in 13 days ,I think I may have a better experience than @WAAAYTOOO because it will be summer in OZ and DH and I plan to fully utilise the extra space on the balcony for mandatory nanna naps and room service breakfast /meals and If I do not get a lounger I certainly will request one
  19. I agree with you both and I am definitely #TeamRadiance I love these ships, they are elegant and the crew are special
