Free Diamonds International Charm
WAAAYTOOO replied to ckelley03's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Unless I’m mistaken (and I’ve never bothered with any freebie from a concession onboard), the “charms” are just rope bracelets. I’m not sure if there are any dangly parts that might be called a charm. I believe @Lovetocruise2002’s daughter(s) might have snagged one or 2 in the past ? -
WONDERing How Cruise #2 Will Go - March 17-24, 2024
WAAAYTOOO replied to OCSC Mike's topic in Live Blogs
...uh....you sure this doesn't have anything to do with the multitude of cocktails yesterday ? -
I'm too chicken to ever try to make a phone call while on a ship. I don't use my phone for calling even on land ( I HATE talking on the phone) so I've never tried. I'll stick to my internet and leave it at that...

Casino slot machine “account” pop ups
WAAAYTOOO replied to Pattycruise's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
That's really bizarre, @Pattycruise. I've never seen that before on any ship. I agree with you about Vision's machines - particularly video poker (which is pretty much all we play if we're going to play on a machine). It seems to me that the VP machines are disappearing on all of the ships, but the last (and only, to be fair) time we were on Vision they still had a pretty good number. The thing I HATE about account information on the machines is that it seems to change all the time. One minute I will have 320 points and suddenly it drops to 0. It's all over the place. The casino host has told us in the past that the points info showing now includes both table and machine number but I don't believe that for a minute. I'm still mystified about how points are accumulated and applied. -

@OCSC Mike I see that you brought your wife one of those fruit-covered danish. I do love those....not so much for the fruit or the danish but for the yummy custard. LOL I'll betcha if you ask the CL Concierge that they will get your some chocolate croissant for later in the week. They're usually pretty good about that kind of thing. Good luck ! -
Royal Caribbean invoices are the craziest thing ever 🤣

Wait util you see a casino booking invoice that has been upgraded ! Those are hysterical....and completely unintelligible. -
Does a guaranteed balcony really mean...
WAAAYTOOO replied to NoobCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
IMO the promenade view is a lot better than an interior but that’s just me. We actually like the promenade view but I would never want an interior. -
Does a guaranteed balcony really mean...
WAAAYTOOO replied to NoobCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It depends upon the type guarantee you have. A neighborhood balcony can be any balcony including Central Park, Boardwalk or ocean view. An ocean view balcony can only be an ocean view balcony -no CP or Boardwalk. -
Yikes....talk about a mixed blessing ! Glad you were able to get it though....sorry your wife's EP was bad. UGH

We have a little walk-about (actually, drive-about) scheduled for mid-November. Dan has a reunion of Marine aviators in Pensacola so we figured we would just keep moving west and try a Brilliance cruise out of NO. Then, we will move north to visit my sisters and spend Thanksgiving before looping around and coming back home. Even though I am from LA, I have spent very little time, and NO recent time in NO. It's always been a bit sketchy (in spots) but the last time I was there (realizing it's been a WHILE ago) it seemed worse than even I remembered it. Looking for advice/warnings for pre-cruise accommodations. Since Dan and I have never been to NO together, we will probably do the tourist stuff so while we don't feel like we MUST stay in the French Quarter, we will be trapsing about in that general area most of the 2 days we will be there, pre-cruise, I would think. We would also like to spend some time at Harrah's but I have absolutely no idea whether Harrah's is somewhere we would want to stay or not. It's been there a WHILE. Anyway....any help will be appreciated. I have done a little preliminary research and I am unable to find whether there are any "stay and cruise" hotels in that area or not. My guess is, no....but maybe others have better information than I do. @JeffB,are you by any chance going to the reunion in Pensacola ?

Me either. I haven’t gotten a snail mail offer in more than a year. ….but then, I don’t get any offers except for those that we win onboard…

Have a great time, @OCSC Mike and @GatorCruiser ! -
We don't get anything from the casino either. Once, when we were on a TA, the Casino Host(ess) gave us a complimentary specialty meal but that's it. I don't want anything though....I get enough of the cheap wine/champagne and over-ripe fruit from C&A. Just send me some *#$@#% offers !

It could have been. I just don't remember !

Just Off Icon - Quick Review - March 9th, 2024 Sailing
WAAAYTOOO replied to putinbay's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Thanks, Matt ! Great review. -
I've arrived at my cabin the first time to find the doors open....but normally, the door is shut. Since I always sneak in to get my keys early, then the doors are ALWAYS all wide open. I suspect, but do not know for sure, that the doors are NOT supposed to be open when you arrive. I know we are weird this way but I absolutely LOVE the once a day service and we always ask for morning service so that our room is reasonably clean all day. So far, no problem whatsoever with this arrangement. Is it spotless ? Probably not....but we are pretty clean folks ourselves so it would have to be pretty bad for us to notice. So far, that has not happened. With a VERY few exceptions, our attendant(s) has always been very friendly and efficient. I really hate to make a generalization like this....but our male attendants are, in general, better than those that are female. I do realize that female attendants are pretty scarce so it's hardly a fair proportional analysis but that is my general impression. The single exception to this rule was the absolutely WONDERFUL lady we had on OA right before the pause. I wish I could remember her name. She was incredible. So much so that we gave her a gift, along with the Genie.

"Cruise Big, or Go Home" – OA 3/10/2024-3/17/2024
WAAAYTOOO replied to Lovetocruise2002's topic in Live Blogs
I spotted my beloved chicken picatta in the Gio pix. So agree about Cats. I managed to get Dan to sit through the entire production exactly ONCE. I also feel bad for the performers. It's not like THEY are doing a bad job...it's just a show that has come and gone and they need to make it go AWAY. Fat chance that will happen any time soon with the penny pinching at the moment. I guess Aqua80s makes up for Cats. -

Best day to go to Specialty Dining Restaurant?

Yes, your best bet is to go take care of that FIRST thing. -

This is the best part of blogging....just sayin' "hi". -
I was just about the write the same thing. No creeper has a CHANCE in my room b/c we clean EVERYTHING out from under the bed to shove all of our $hit underneath ! We always take the spare comforter and fold it at the bottom of the bed to use when we are napping (which is almost EVERY day at some point). I can't really understand why the folded comforter seems to completely perplex the stateroom attendant. 100% of the time I have to tell them to please just leave it like it is. Don't put it inside a sheet cover...don't move it back under the bed. Just leave it folded at the bottom. One of the recent attendants began mumbling something about us invading his "kit"...so I suspect that the spare comforter is something that they use when they make up the room for the next guest. Sorry...I don't care. Just leave my nappy blanky alone !
