I can't ...... They do tell you the popcorn is a charge. Also, it is YOUR job to check your invoice before you leave. Had you done so you could have avoided the towel charges and any subsequent headaches in regards to that.

You should be fine. I only started having issues when I went to USB because of the battery inside the device. I used to carry one that plugged in and never had to remove it. I also have a charging cord in my carry-on that can hold a battery pack, so it gets flagged when that happens as well.

We lost a port last year when I sailed Nav out of LA because of a hurricane. The ship will likely just try to outrun the storm if it becomes one.

I always lock anything that won't be on my person the entire way and even my carry-on has a lock. Like others have said it's not always about theft.

RyanAir is the Spirit of Europe. They charged for basic boarding documents. However, I once flew with them round-trip with bags and all that priority jazz for like $71.

Turn them on something else asked in the survey. Or PDCC in any aspect.

Yes, that is why I asked. Normally Jamie's is available and even though they changed the menu, I was going to book that. But it shows day 2 and 4 only on all of them, well the three specialty restaurants. I love a good lunch. I mostly get the UDP on longer sailings but on shorter one's I do the lunch. It's great to enjoy the meal and then the rooms are ready.

Wait what type of room are you staying in? The 2BR GS? I love the freedom class ships and Liberty is the only one I need to get on. I keep looking at that itinerary, I am so excited to follow along. On another note, I just got RUB for my 10/15 Allure sailing: $1260pp to go to a CLS, $850 for 1BR AS or 2BR GS and $1760pp to go to the RLS. My dilemma is I am sailing with 7 others and solo in my room. I am 2/2 on my RUB and have the feeling I would win, so I am vacillating. Nobody but me would be able to use the perks and I stressed that the only thing we would be doing is eating dinner together. Truly first world problems.

Ha. I keep telling myself not to start mine too early, its 10/15. I am aiming for Sept something........it's a good way to aid in the anticipation.

I began to do specialty dining on embarkation day after the restart but for some reason, Mariner doesn't have any restaurants listed for embarkation day in the planner. I can always do Playmakers but if there is a MDR lunch, I would try that.

I know I saw a post about Mariner doing an embarkation lunch in the MDR. Are they still doing it?

If you need the internet and the cruise is over 5N, then the pre-purchased price will always be a better deal. Its only one day or $29.99, the cost of one day on board, off.

If it was a 10in USB powered fan, then you will have to remove if it is in your carry-on as that happens to me every other time I fly. If not, USB powered, they will be like fine and its good. Of course, the checked bag will be the path of least resistance.

Yes you can keep both. You can also see the CK menu and just keep it the nights that appeal to you.

Probably not. I don't think it hurts to ask but it would really depend on what the gym offers, and I am not sure older ships have that set up.

@bobroo I would slightly disagree. Naples had good pizza but I still prefer my neighborhood place in Chicago. But being from Chicago and having been to Italy, Sorrento's was and will always be some of the worse pizza only second to Scotland take on it.I love Scotland and their meat pies.

I said this a while back. I was always under the impression that they were trying to determine what they could get away with charging on new ships. I was sent the survey and the Sorrento's' question was part of a lot of restaurant related questions as well as questions about the UDP. I get the feeling they want to try to introduce many more restaurants that are paid but options are both endless and limited.

Actually the staff at the port may toss them if you put them in your carryon. I had seen and had it happen. So I put in my checked bag now.

The reason they are in bad shape is because lots of children play on them and they don't actually now how to play. I was almost hit by an errant ball as some 7 or 10 years tried to get anything on one of the pockets.

I do understand the principal of the uproar. But I still consider this a data mining experiment. Do I think Royal is bold enough to charge for pizza? Yes. But I also don't think they are stupid enough to do it on the older ships. I think they are trying to determine WHAT they can charge for and what would bring the most revenue when it comes to the newer ships. The precedence set by the new MDR menus and change in housekeeping don't apply to this, imho. Based on the fact that so many didn't receive the survey. The other changes, I feel like are the cost of doing business. Which may lead to the loss of D+ and pinnacle cruisers because they probably want things to be the way they were before things changed.

You missed her quote, she said "it's the only late night food." That mean it's often the only option for late night and the choices would be to pay or not have anything to eat.

Fyi, if you start in an interior, there won't be options to upgrade to a suite. You have to be in a balcony, usually, to get suite offers as they only go by two or three levels.

Funny enough if you look on the app, Playmakers is considered a bar and not a specialty restaurant. But no charge for the billiard table and I think I saw one Freedom but possibly two on Oasis.

I remember reading a post, because there are a ton about whether Liberty has freestyle, and it's not as easy as you think to add them. They require a line for water and carbonation........hence why she won't get them until she gets Amped.

Lol I feel seen. I stick with purple but sometimes I will add white or green in small patches. Mostly I do shades of purple.
