My suggestion is to get a massage a day or two prior to sailing in your hometown...it's a better value AND will really get you in the mood to relax and enjoy your cruise!

Royal Caribbean Credit Card

If I didn't have the Costco branded VISA card, I'd definitely carry a RCL cc in my back pocket. -

Royal Caribbean Credit Card
JimnKathy replied to Zobel Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
FYI, Costco's branded VISA card pays 3% for any and all travel and restaurant purchases, 4% on gas, 2% at Costco and 1% on anything else. It has no annual fee for Costco members. -

...and 12,000 people fall down stairs and die every year in the U.S. Perhaps we should outlaw multi-story houses while we're at it?

RCL credit downgrade likely in near future per S&P
JimnKathy replied to JimnKathy's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
While I think RCL will continue to be a great cruising brand for many years to come, future earnings per share will be diluted by new stock issuance and a more than doubling of their overall debt levels (due to COVID). Bottom line is that the company management is in survival mode and is doing everything they can to keep things afloat (pun intended) while the world works on defeating this pandemic. Common shareholders just need to understand that it'll take the company many years to pay down their debt levels to make the stock an attractive investment. -
I cut and pasted some RCL stock news posting earlier this morning that anyone who owns shares should be made aware. Like other cruise lines wading through this pandemic year, RCL has been issuing lots of new debt which places a pretty big drag on their balance sheet and income statement. Be careful out there when considering where to allocate your investment dollars. "Royal Caribbean Group's (RCL) credit rating is in danger of being downgraded deeper into junk territory by S&P Global Ratings, which citing expectations that the cruise operator's recovery will take longer than previous

I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a thing similar to a "golden ticket" to ease one's way as we move about. I plan on getting a vaccination when it becomes available just to reduce the risk of getting COVID (I'm 59 in a few weeks). I also get a regular flu shot every year (going on three decades) and I rarely deal with getting sick for more than a day or two a year from anything other than a normal cold and/or allergy symptoms.

True dat! The smiling crew members will give me that "Durn dude, do you really need that 4th roll!?" look as I saunter away from the serving table.

Coco Cay is an incredible place. As others have already noted, it's big enough and so well-designed that you never feel like you're on a crowded island, yet small enough that you can casually stroll wherever you want within a few minutes. The shuttles are plentiful, too. Simply an amazing amenity available for RC guests.
