I thought Royals only trial balloon was on CocoCay…

The experience by the post creator is almost as bad as when I got splashed while watching the belly flop contest from the front row. I almost never sailed again.

Royal could be like Chinese shipping companies and hire a crew member to put tape over the check engine light on control panel. Technically, a ship is able to sail, until it sinks.

Absolute Cheapest option is to book a room for 4. draw straws and one to three people stay home and enjoy your live blog.

I had my once a year cough after a cruise. Doctor had me turn my head first. Everything is holding together just fine.

Good to see they are adding sailing instead of a late delivery and cancelling sailings offering guests an equivalent category on Vision and $50 on board credit.

Having done Star class many times, it would be nice if Royal provided the option to skip genie services. This would provide a reduced load for genie or allow them to put their focus on their other 2 or sometimes 3 suites. On recent sailings I have informed genie before trip and reminded them on board that my family does not need the dinner visits or them to wait for us outside show venues. We know where to find the purple sash seats. But they do anyway and then I feel obligated to honor the genies invested time with a handsome gratuity at the end of the sailing. For my family we book star suites for the room, not for the included perks.

Nobody rings the bell for free…

If you can get to Waterloo station, the train is very low cost. I got one way direct tickets for my family of 5 for $65 total. Took 1:20 to get to Southampton then we did the 10 minute walk to the ship. Very manageable. I priced a vehicle transport (big enough for 5 and bags) and it was $375.

Public comment period tentatively the second week of March… March of 2028

Suite deck hot tub jets fixed yesterday. Had two days last sailing of stale water.

If one zooms in there is a slight brown skid mark in wake.

My little capitalists sold all the toilet paper to very relieved Radiance guests. Apparently Royal single ply is better than Costa Maya .5 ply.

My family is on Harmony docked next to Radiance. With the current Norovirus outbreak on Radiance, my kids are determined to help. We have a request into our genie for as much toilet paper as he can find to be delivered to our room. We will then load up our suitcases and make our way off Harmony. My kids will be setting up a spot to sell toilet paper to those Radiance guests in dire need. If all goes well my kids should be set with arcade money for the rest of the sailing.

I hope the dog for Legend of the Seas is named Zelda.
