Space flight to another planet, then a cruise. Liquid methane on Titan, likely navigable. Vaccines optional, face masks required.

Great find for travel distances. Interesting that if Panama isn’t feasible, that Suez is shorter than around South America. 1,200 nautical miles is +/- 3 days sailing and lots of fuel. But the Pirates in Aden, the AquaCoaster hanging over the side of Navigator provides an exception target for grappling hooks. I bet Bayley tosses a coin to decide.

Adventurous mariner’s will need to navigate the voyage, exploring new waters.

Everything I wrote was speculation. Going east would take the ship past countries which typically represent a high crew percentage. Ability to stop, I don’t know. The distance is more from Mediterranean via Suez than around South America to Los Angeles. A question that was brought up a few months back, is it worth it logistically to set up a revenue sailing with stops around South America?

Cyprus is the same direction as the Suez Canal. If Panama Canal transit isn’t an option maybe Royal is willing to risk the pirates in the gulf of Aden over the currents of Magellan strait. A stop in Manila could fill crew manifest.

And there go the Crystal Blocks...

The Ultimate family suite on Symphony was in excess of this for Holiday 2022 sailing….7 nights. I booked something else. -

Twangster, final question- What element would your Pinnacle pin need to be made of (excluding unobtanium and cryptanite) to be in excess of $ spent to reach this acclaimed status? -
Smoking/lung disease is a pre-existing condition. The percentage of cruisers who smoke may be lower on future sailings.

Following this as I have multiple Star class reservation with 6 year old twins and a 4 year old (current ages)

Do you have a column for $/drink when purchasing beverage package? If so, is the denominator value dependable? -

Twangster, what is your hard drive storage capacity? I’m afraid a spreadsheet of your design and expanse would crash my laptop, dependably running on XP since 2007. I have a spreadsheet on this computer, my $/day cost of computer ownership is currently $.17 -
Anybody ever been “Hey Mistered?” on a cruise ship? To keep my question on topic, has a diamond member under the age of 21 ever asked anyone reading this over 21 to buy them an alcoholic drink on a cruise ship? Bonus question, if you did (shame, shame) did you use one of your diamond drink vouchers?

Coors light aluminum 16oz bottles have twist on caps….just saying. Unfortunately they will be cowboy cold in the morning given the weak sauce stateroom refrigerator.

Port Miami - Check in arrival

There is some shade outside of Terminal A in the event you arrive before being allowed inside. -
First Royal Caribbean Ship You Went On
AlmondFarmer replied to LovetoCruise87's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Vision of the seas, the first time she went through the Panama Canal. -
Someone said no to your question on another thread. My hope was new round reloaded at midnight to keep the party going, but was told that next day’s allocation loads once all bars are closed.

Will this be like Diamond drinks, 4 entires for Diamond, 5 for Diamond plus and 6 for Pinnacle?

Nautical miles per cruise
AlmondFarmer replied to Caribbean. Pomelow's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
On one of the stateroom television channels there is a data from the current voyage. On the final morning check total distance travelled. I am not aware of a resource that predicts distance for a given itinerary. If available it would only be a prediction as ships (like airplanes) do not precisely follow a set path. (Trains do) -
That sounds like the Hibachi option. Rice (white or fried) also included. The sushi (plus a few cooked items) was (probably still is) a la carte.

Riddle me this: Independence to Galveston?
AlmondFarmer replied to SpeedNoodles's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Since it is non revenue you must have got a great price!
