MSC Grandiosa is at Sea

Bones what's the prognosis? -
MDR vs Unlimited dining for person with Celiac

Tell the waiter they really will work to meet your needs. -
MSC Grandiosa is at Sea
cruisellama replied to Curt From Canada's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Good way to test the protocols. From embarkation, port call, and return - hope for success. -

Heard a family "broke the bubble" and were not allowed back on. -
Royal changed my refundable cruises to non-refundable
cruisellama replied to jupiter03's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Could it be they did it to keep the cost lower (even though you didn't request- assuming you wanted the lower cost)? That happened with me when I had a refundable deposit and moved to a later cruise - it was re-booked as non-refundable and I didn't realize under a few days later when I received the invoice. -
When is your next Celebrity/Azamara Cruise?
cruisellama replied to BrianAlt's topic in Celebrity & SilverSea
Wondering if we should have a pool on what day the next set of cancelations are announced. -
Mothballed ships driving around aimlessly.
cruisellama replied to pezzy669's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Guessing not enough pier space on company property and there has to be a daily cost of staying in a port. Sailing keeps the machinery working and allows for continued training opportunities for the small crews on-board. -
Empress of the Seas has been sold

You're playing it right -

It was still part of the fleet at earnings call. Just need to ink the deal after the call. -
Anyone playing power up points? 10 power up point = 1 Captains Club point. We signed up and think we're on our 4th power up opportunity. Started with just a survey now there's a offer for 50 - Power up points = 5 Captains Club points if you book a cruise. Its nice being able to plus up an odd point or 2 that could put you over a level threshold down the road. I thought they should also look at allowing additional Captains Club points for some dollar amount spent on-board also. Thought that would help with on-board revenues.

What would you want to see on a new MDR menu?
cruisellama replied to CruisinForABruisin's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Omlettes are eggs, but you can get them made anyway you want. Waffles, cereals (hot n cold) and pastries are also options. In my opinion, I would agree that a "brunch" menu isn't available, but that's addressed in the Windjammer. There are times I have the feeling the lines would like to further reduce the MDR sit-down options (but now with health safety protocols, the MDR may end up with expanded service because it can be better controlled) -
Anyone hearing how baggage drop off might become modified? Tends to be organized chaos as you drag your bags to a handler. I get the mask thing, but seems like drop off will need to gain some civility.

Something changed in Cruise Planner
cruisellama replied to KBrad's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I also take screen shots of any transactions and save to the computer. -
Time it takes to get crew on ships...
cruisellama replied to Wende's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Totally understandable. By then some kind of vaccine and more therapeutics "should" be available so the hyper sensitivity should be reduced. -
Covid Testing to Cruise????
cruisellama replied to LandstromCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
When we sailed from Galveston this March , there were temp checks prior to entering the checkin side of the terminal. Wasn't bad. Testing would take a little more time as there's some processing. I think the one used in Europe has a 60-90 hold time - so embarkation would become a little more cumbersome. You'd also have to worry about false positives which is something these express tests are know for. -
Guess this was expected

RCL Don't even think about cancelling r Thanksgiving
cruisellama replied to silentfaith's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I can relate! -
When is your next Celebrity/Azamara Cruise?
cruisellama replied to BrianAlt's topic in Celebrity & SilverSea
We're booked on the Edge about that same time. But have very low expectations its going to happen. -
. I think its probably better to buy it on site so you don't have carry it on-board. Then you can toss it before you go back to the ship.

Get well!

Percent allowed to sail on first cruises?
cruisellama replied to JonathanColton's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Since you brought up the T-shirt entertainment, do you see them adding boxes of sanitizer wipes and little bottles of sanitizer to all the store inventories? Maybe even some cruise logo masks? Something to look forward to. -
Makes sense especially now. Sailed Liberty in Mar '20, and they were still operating next to the pool, and doing a really good job keeping clean and operational.

Might still get the cup, but won't use it until you get home. Guessing disposable paper cups become the norm for awhile..
