Recent Star Class Cruise from Galveston Review
cruisellama replied to Sokko's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Nice rundown. The streamlined embarkation and disembarkation with the Star luggage handling is a favorite perk along with the early access to the suite. -

CC works all over. Ensure you have one without foreign transaction fees. We will use the CC to two get Euros from an airport ATM when we arrive for tips and small purchases along the way.

My grandson was in that situation on a closed loop out of Galveston last week. We brought his birth certificate (BC) as a backup. When we arrived we presented both the BC and the passport (which only had 3 months of life left). The agent said, the passport was fine. This was not an issue with the CBP at Galveston. (But we prepared for the worse case). I believe the stated RCL policy mimics the DoS travel note that many countries will not accept a passport with expiration of <6 months at time of travel completion. It's a conservative position for a closed loop Caribbean cruise (where certain islands/countries do not require US passports), but at the same time, may push guests to ensure they retain more robust travel documentation. With the new facial recognition tech tied to passports, it really makes embarkation/disembarkation process go fast.

Mariner is there. Seems like a safe port to hang out until the storm moves on. -

Milton is a "5"! Hopefully enough cold water will be churned up from the bottom to the surface to degrade the storm before it lands. Stay safe everyone. -

Longshoremen work stoppage looming?
cruisellama replied to Sealegs's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
It appears they're carving out cruise line support and shipment of military equipment from the strike. -
I would think (if a smaller ship class is really coming), they would leverage Edge class (sans Magic Carpet).
-
Anyone know if the possible longshoremen strike will adversely affect the cruise side of port operations?
-
Less toys, a little quieter, dining options (on Edge class) are very nice. You won't find large broadway-like productions. Smaller productions and featured artists. Price point is above Royal and Princess. You have to sail it to evaluate if its a match. The environment is more conducive to relaxing.

400+ miles wide from local weather guesser -
Just pondering. I've seen that category advertised many times. It just occurred to me that how much time did Royal marketeers spend on the category name. They could have called it a Large Balcony with a Ultra Wide Ocean View" since the large balcony contributes the ocean view, or does the room itself due to its location (which is related to your question) contribute the the Ultra spacious Ocean view? To me spacious refers to volume or size of the room and not a field of view. A large balcony would definitely contribute to an ocean wide field of view if located in the right place on the ship. Excuse the distractive rant - I think spacious a peculiar word to use with a view.
