Current Theme Nights on Symphony
smokeybandit replied to nerd502's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
And you also likely had a Caribbean night. Those are the standard themes for about any 7 night cruise, with the exception of the red party that's only on the larger ships -
I assume you've quadrupled my salary as a result?
-
Nassau is one of several ports being used. Though it seems the larger ships have more limited options.
-
The porters themselves have a very limited role in getting your bags on the ship. They load them up, then move the full carts to a staging area. Then the longshoremen put them on the ship in random order, then they're unloaded and sorted by RC crew, then delivered. There are so many variables as to when your bag even gets to your deck, none the less your cabin. The porters are more likely to have a role in your bags getting on last (like the rental car shuttle drop off point at Terminal 5 in PC, since those carts must fill up the slowest) than first.

Royal brings back flowers/roses

I've never gotten luggage by 1pm, even with them expediting suite luggage. Usually 3-4 pm. Unless you use the Enterprise shuttle at Canaveral for terminal 5, then your luggage will literally be among the last on.
-
The app does have a place to make an appointment though I have no idea if it works on all ships. We even had a NC agent ask us if that's how we booked. It'd be buried under the Services icon, then scroll down to NextCruise under Venues
-
It'd be easier just to put your name on the sign in sheet at the Next Cruise office. You couldn't do it through the app until you were on board anyway.
-
On the first day no appointment needed. Otherwise, there will be a signup form right there outside the NextCruise office. You can do it in the app though that doesn't seem to be an overly publicized feature.

smokeybandit replied to SeaSunnedTraveler's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Unfortunately you cannot reprice cruises with this promo, bummer. -
Ship water is also perfectly fine, so really no need to buy water.

Sunset Junior Suite - pros and cons?
smokeybandit replied to dovecruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
The only time I don't like an aft cabin is about 11pm on any given night and my walk feels like miles. That said, the rest of the day, a bit of extra exercise. -
True, but only Oasis ships have the 11-11 window.
-
You wouldn't use vouchers for drinks in the suite lounge if you're a suite guest.
-
And liquor, if RC actually ever offers N/A liquors

This is a good move. Now they just need to amp up their N/A offerings.

(50% OFF) ROYAL BIRTHDAY BASH OFFER
smokeybandit replied to SeaSunnedTraveler's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
With that promo code my October cruise drops $150 and gets some OBC on top of that. Let's see if my TA can get that price or if RC will be a stickler towards new bookings only. -
Switching from a local TA to something like MEI
smokeybandit replied to Cruise2488's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I hate when I see a price drop on the weekend. I definitely don't like to bother my TA on weekends. -
(50% OFF) ROYAL BIRTHDAY BASH OFFER
smokeybandit replied to SeaSunnedTraveler's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I don't think this has anything to do with a passenger's birthday since no one in my group has an October birthday, but I see the sales -
