Be careful, the channels many US purchased wireless radios work on are illegal to be used on many islands and in Mexico.

One of the drug cartels uses channel 4-20. Stay off that channel.

Hubby got booted too for that reason a few nights! 

You made him sleep in the suitcase room? Cruel.

Going back several years pistachios were a good price but then something happened that caused them to skyrocket in price.   I stopped buying pistachios because the value wasn't there for me but I respect the fact that there are other people that find value at a price that I don't. 

Please say you switched to almonds.

I don't know that there is a heater like a home hot tub on a patio would have but if the water begins to cool just drain some off and open the hot water faucet to warm it up much like you might do for an extended soak in a bathtub at home.

Since this room is Star Class ask Genie for an ice chest of beer to have available when in tub.

If the water temperature drops below body temperature, use your faucet to warm it back up. 

Fly Southwest to take advantage of two included suitcases. In second suitcase pack a blow up mattress, air pump and linens. 
 

The grass sprinklers come on at 5am outside terminal A.

I may have learned this the hard way.

UDP was $679.64 for two, and the DBP was $1255.24 for two of us. That's a total of $1934.88. Per person, that put us at $967.44.

Didn’t want to factor daily gratuities included in bid calculation?

Congrats!!

I would have put three exclamation points if upgrade was to deck 9…five if A1. 
 

Deck 10 is closer to suite Sun deck. 

2 bedroom Aqua theater for two guests…Nice!
This will be great as it avoids the awkward situation of sleeping in the same room as your suitcases. 

Human waste to help power the ship.

Does this mean Sloppy Joes will be the only option in the dining room the night before the ship requires maximum speed?

Protip: If there is no way you could possibly be pregnant, but you accidentally answer "Yes" to the question, you can correct it at the port.

I recently heard a person who claims reputation significance state that anyone can get pregnant. 
Not what I learned in fourth grade science class.

I guess it will depend who is working at the port. 

On my last cruise my wife complained that the toilet seat was often wet.

The culprit is still at large. 
 

No on board credit asked for. 

Royal could utilize nuclear power. The ship would need to be a bit longer to accommodate the reactor, probably 1,320 feet long.

Quarter mile island of the Seas.

Imagine 12 of these ships lined up. It would be a Three Mile Island. 

This name should probably be focus grouped to determine if it deters travel.

You won't find them in Norway's fjords beyond 2025 when their new emission standards go into effect.

Extension cord technology has come a long way. I expect a plug in electric vessel will be ready for Norway before 2025.
I’ve also heard it is possible to harness the power of wind to propel a ship. This technology will comply with Norways emission standards, until 2050.

I haven't checked luggage in about 50 cruises. 

I’m trying to explain what a humble brag is to my kids.

May I use this as an example?

Does anyone know how Costa Maya got developed?  Because that kind of seems like the middle of nowhere.  

Did a Navy or oil pier or something exist there prior to the cruise ships and related development?

I heard the Mayans built the port area after finishing the pyramids.

Which sucks for the 18-20 crowd

Spin the bottle on the helipad for 18-20 crowd. 

Hands down best Turkey burger I’ve had on a Royal cruise was in a small cafe in Istanbul overlooking the Bosporus strait. 

Any plans to make CocoCay Celebrity accessible?

I’m thinking elevator for waterpark tower and off road tire rascals for trails around island. Maybe even boat service to floating South Beach bar.

I always get the newsletter email as well as one everyday about taking advantage of the "never-ending sale."

Never ending?!?

I thought new reservations must be made before 12am ET to take advantage of the amazing current promotion.

Sorry, to be more clear, this training is for  sailings from United States to Europe or when filming a TV commercial.

Counterfeit items don’t bother me really, only because I presume people know based on the price whether or not it’s too good to be true

I got sold a $100 bill for a $20 bill once. Worst purchase ever.

I wonder if they have have ever had any complaints when the sun set in front or to the sides of the ship? 

Not supposed to happen.
Royal Captains are trained to make sure the sun sets behind the ship each evening.

A Sunset View balcony is a Celebrity term for their aft facing balconies.

 

Confusingly the sunrise can also be viewed depending on the ships orientation. 
 

I considered filing a complaint to the “Truth in Marketing” board to have the name changed to Sun view balcony.
