There's a special menu they use for the major holidays.

If this was an American cruise, would that say "MOM?"

The Army Corp of Engineers is planning on having the entire channel reopened by the end of May.

Much like life, it's all good until the next time it's not.

Looks like things are back to normal

Last year we met a bartender who was starting out on the world cruise, but timed it to have his contract ending in Manila since he's Filipino.

RC is definitely having login issues right now.

Native Choice is a popular and trustworthy 3rd party tour company that goes there.

Make-a-wish is traditionally only for the immediate family.

They want you out of the room by 8am usually.

"While repairs for the technical issue that we encountered on one of our previous sailings were completed, during routine testing, we discovered that we’re going to need some extra time to get the ship ready for you" Translated, while we fixed the original issue, we broke something else.

Are they merging programs? Or just expanding how you can accrue points? Sail on Celebrity and those points count towards your C&A total and vice versa. I can see a path where they want to encourage some C&A points chasers or disgruntled but point-sensitive pinnacles to fill ships on Celebrity and help fix the good problem they have in massive demand for RC ships.

Varies by port I believe. Either a separate line, separate check-in area, or just fast tracked to the front of the line. There's no difference on how you actually board the ship unless you're checked in prior to boarding beginning.

If you're still on board just book the RC transfer to the airport.

It's one thing to take an independent tour with a company reliant on cruise passengers. It's quite another to take a tour where cruise passengers are a rarity and they don't respect the importance to get you back to your ship on time.

If the system lets you do it, do it. It shouldn't be an issue.

Don't the panoramic suites have standard bunk beds?

Wasn't the Apparati the antagonist in Angels and Demons? Wait that was Illuminati.

Last night's Youtube Q&A turned into a dad joke one-uppance contest. Apparently it has continued here today.

RC has had this on their travel updates page since last week. Well at least that they were expecting work to wrap up in time for the 4th.

I always sleep well on RC beds. But now you know for next time to bring something that you know will make your sleep more comfortable.

I think you should be grateful they still want to refund anything since we're long past the pandemic.
