I’ve not received the email statement from my last 2 cruises. I had fine a screenshot of my account so I had no need to track it down, contact customer service and ask for the department. I know there is one, and I’ve seen it posted somewhere. I’ll dig around.

Yes, had a neighbor doing this. Quite annoying. Not everyone understands how thin the walls are.

Those aren’t mattress toppers those are mattress pads. A topper is thicker, usually foam. I chuckle that Royal refers to the pads as toppers. When I see the pads I know I need a total of 2 doubled over on my side of the bed if they don’t have the foam toppers available. Also, if you are fortunate to get the foam topper I wind up remaking the bed, slipping the topper between the 2 mattress pads as the thin sheet over foam has me sweating at night and I also question how clean that foam is

At any indication of continued problems like misinformation or attitude visit guest services and register a complaint and ask to speak with the offending area supervisor. luggage damage should be reported to guest services immediately. unless Alaska is different there should be a separate line for check in at the pier-ask for it, keep an eye out. If the first person is unaware ask the next. talk to the concierge about the disembarkation process for exactly how it works. Enjoy your sailing!

I just looked through the various cruises (Aug, Feb and March)I have booked that go to CoCocay and no glass bottom boats. Apparently the pigs don’t swim in Feb/March either. I wonder if the glass bottom boat is ship specific and/or seasonal.

Didn't even know they have a glass bottom boat there! LOL I usually book Hideaway now or I am content to sit on the unpaid beach. I guess I should consider looking to see what else they offer besides waterpark/zzip line/pigs.

Wow. The casino holds 2 learn to play sessions, should you change your mind and decide to sail again I highly recommend them. The casino staff at the tables seemed wonderful when my husband sat and played. I can understand a new person's frustration with rules you may not be aware of (dont' touch the cards until the dealer indicates so, cards must be held over the table at all times, no phone usage etc). Once those are down pat it is simple. Usually the dealer will assist if you have questions n regards to playing your hand (assuming you were sitting at a table). I just got back from 2 weeks on that ship. Had a great time. I was only in a lowly ocean view cabin. We did not bother with room service, never do! I do not understand why they would be annoyed with taking room service orders. Staffing will always vary from experience to experience. Glad you tipped those you felt deserved so, I'm sure they appreciated it. You should receive a survey in your email. I highly recommend you note your complaints there. This is not a RC site. As for Covid or other ailments. Easily spread on ships, restaurants, airplanes, trains etc. Hope your daughter is feeling better for your land portion.

The survey should be split in 2. DId you like the quality of the food? Was the food served to the temperature (or something like that) of your liking. I've been served cold food-which I believe is the fault of the asst waiter pulling the food too early and not a kitchen problem. Recent cruise I actually received HOT food!!! I can't remember the last time I had HOT food on a ship at the MDR (I don't eat the soups)

Great thank you. Now I see what people meant about the seats! UGH Do you know who those chairs in the front are for? I assume they are in the splash zone?

I’m booked on this too. I’m looking g forward to seeing what the hype is about. Most of the ports hold no interest but I do love CoCocay, so it’s likely we’ll be on the island while you enjoy the ship.

Can anyone share where the best viewing seats are? I’m disappointed to hear about the back breaking benches. I can’t sit on bench seating and be comfortable after 10 minutes. Sounds like I’ll need to premedicate with Alleve.

Sorry, Radiance. I see someone said they work on Rhapsody, I did B2B on her in January and had no clue they worked. I , pretty much gave up trying! I’ll have to add “check stateroom speaker” to my list of things to do when I get to the stateroom!

By 9:00, 9:30 might be the latest. It’s a super pain at that port. If you know your ride (I usually have my husband or son do pick up) tell them to stay along the shoulder on the road to the ship and then call them when you find somewhere you think might work for pick up. The entire curb area is marked with easy to read zone signs. My biggest problem one time was the next cruise people showing up while people were still getting off the ship. The garage wasn’t open for them and they all blocked the road. It was ridiculous.

My kids had one rule regarding meals, we eat in the main dining room at our scheduled dining time. next was no one is allowed in the cabin and they were not to go into anyone else’s cabin Last was give me a small nod, half a smile in my direction or a quick hand at your side wave to acknowledge me if we passed each other, with a stern warning they’d be sorry if they failed to do that. One son failed, do I called his name out loud and told him to “come give momma a hug”. He did, and the remainder of the cruise I hit a small nod smile or hand wave. He told his siblings what happened, they also complied with that small rule. oh, also the speech that if they misbehaved and got us thrown off the ship they’d need to find a new home. Thankfully that never happened.

I was just on Radiance and so mad that announcements were in the cabin, waking me. I didn’t need to know we docked at 7am! Turns out the speakers in the cabin on Radiance now work! My attendant told me later that day. You bet I turned that thing off!!

I just did my survey today from a cruise that ended a week ago today. Maybe this weeks cruise hadn’t started yet as it’s on the west coast do I could still do mine?

I’ve had them tell me they won’t ask then proceed to ask, not just one night, multiple nights. It’s most frustrating especially when trying to have conversation with the table mates. it’s become harassment on some ships between the table servers, head waiter, announcements over the loudspeaker and windjammer announcements.

just did a B2B with Seward as the turn around. When we disembarked the staff we inquired with in the terminal seemed unsure. When we came back there was a clearly marked area to the right where those already checked in could go through security and continue on to the ship.

Got some free upgrades on my casino comps as the category I was booked in became more valuable than a balcony.

I get sea sick, Bermuda were 2 of my worst-one before I knew about medications the next was just terrible. Last time I went the seas were smooth. my remedies now. Meclizine based motion sick pill. This can be done via Rx, or over the counter-Bonine, Dramamine and drug store brand are all the same as the Rx meclizine 25 mg. If you take the time to read the labels the extra strength of these are just a double dose. Guest services hands these out free onboard, but I like to be stocked-what if they run out? there are also original formula Dimenhydrinate (sp?)…this can cause drowsiness. ginger-in any form can be helpful use it with meclizine. Dramamine makes a ginger chew. Onboard I drink DarknStormy which is ginger beer and dark rum. Gingerale might help. green apples onboard (can’t carry on) might be helpful but I’ve not seen them in my last few sailings. others use pressure point wristbands or the rx scopolamine (sp?) patch also available via Rx would be anti Nassau meds. If your cruise is rocky you may experience post cruise feeling of “imbalance”. The meclizine may help with ridding that feeling. (Check with your dr for any meds you add to your daily routine)

Usually you can’t reserve the same show twice! Did you get confirmations on the bookings? I have no input regarding your question)

Please be aware that if you are placed near the front of the ship it’s lots of walking to get to the windjammer and main dining room-lots of walking-may not bode well with tired 2,3 year olds or adults!. Also stinks if you forget something in the cabin and have to go all the way back to the cabin to get it! Central Park balcony can be quiet but not if you are the deck or two below the pool deck. If the littles are trying to nap there’s a possibility the DJ will be doing their loud music. Many have discussed how noisy that is. keep an eye on your pricing for rate drops. You may be able to reprice your cabin for a lower rate. Also check your app frequently to see if you receive an assigned cabin. I did a GTY neighborhood balcony for August and was assigned a cabin within a week (this was 2 months ago), I was able to call and have our cabin location changed to something more desirable for me (dealt with deck #-not switching off a neighborhood category)

There were no gulls my first 2 times, I thought the flying kites stopped them. My 3rd time-they were there. It was rainy, so unsure if they became swooping vultures for food as the population was less due to the rain.

Just completed Alaska cruise. You can drop your luggage and go. There is a free shuttle (tips appreciated) that leaves from the port and has about 12 drop off/pick up locations. I believe yours would be #9 or #10. We drove past many stops without stopping, due to no need. Shuttle takes about 30 minutes to complete the loop. There is more than 1 shuttle.
