Honestly, I think St Maarten and St Thomas are better.

In the end I think we're mind melding a lot of changes that the RC IT system simply isn't prepared to handle.

An MSC ship apparently caused some damage to that pier a couple weeks ago making it not possible for an Oasis class ship to dock there.

Looks like it's existing pier damage from an MSC ship a couple weeks ago. But Oasis ships can only use that pier. But I'd rather do the new itinerary than PR/DR

We had that on one of those circulating whirlpools once. We fortunately got out seconds before a girl spewed all through it.

We have one booked for Star in 2026. I know I'll miss the ocean view, but, it was a "decent" price to experience an Icon class ship.

I still think merging programs is an effort to get people chasing C&A points on the over full ships on RC onto not as full ships on Celebrity.

You have to be 13 to have your own account. But, yes, you could have your kid sign into the app using one of the adult's accounts while one of the adults is also logged in. The downfall there is you have to keep constantly checking since you're basically sending messages to yourself. We did that a couple cruises ago. It worked, but it was cumbersome. We broke down and bought internet the next cruise.

You don't really pay extra to pick a cabin. You take a discount for not picking it. But that discount comes with the risk of getting an undesirable room.

Stuff like that is typically "I know the rules, but surely they don't apply to me" situations.

The entire Oasis class are large ships marketed towards families, too.

But somehow not nearly has hovering as they were before the shutdown.

Or have a bystander take a photo on an outdoor deck at sunset, and get a more realistic backdrop for 1/10 the price.

As long whatever merger includes: -No reduction in C&A perks on RC cruises -Me earning C&A points while on a Celebrity cruise

Hah, for a minute all I could think was "There's no ship named Legacy of the Seas"

But even that can be misleading since half the crew on the ship a typical passenger never sees. And that crew's jobs can be highly dependent on that ship's technology. Now if they published the front of the house crew numbers/passenger ratio, that would give a better picture.

The "problem" with resorts is I wouldn't feel disconnected enough. Cruising and being at sea lets me not even remember what I have waiting for me back home, work especially. Granted, as soon as I step off the ship on the last day, it comes storming back fast.

Late October into early November 2024 in Singapore, based on gaps in the schedule

Gross ton per passenger is a highly misleading since most of the space is not space passengers physically occupy. But I ran the numbers a while back for RC ships Ship Single Occ Full Occ Gross Tons SO space rate FO space rate Mariner 3114 3807 139863 44.9 36.7 Icon 5610 7600 250800 44.7 33 Star 5610 7600 250800 44.7 33 Adventure 3114 3840 138194 44.4 36 Explorer 3114 3840 138194 44.4 36 Voyager 3114 3840 138194 44.4 36 Independence 3634 4375 155889 42.9 35.6 Jewel 2112 2502 90090 42.7 36 Brilliance 2142 2543 90090 42.1 35.4 Radiance 2143 2466 90090 42 36.5 Serenade 2146 2476 90090 42 36.4 Oasis 5400 6780 226838 42 33.5 Utopia 5668 6788 236860 41.8 34.9 Navigator 3376 4000 139999 41.5 35 Freedom 3782 4515 156271 41.3 34.6 Symphony 5518 6680 228081 41.3 34.1 Harmony 5497 6687 226963 41.3 33.9 Wonder 5734 6988 236857 41.3 33.9 Allure 5492 6780 225282 41 33.2 Liberty 3798 4960 155889 41 31.4 Anthem 4180 4905 168666 40.4 34.4 Ovation 4180 4905 168666 40.4 34.4 Quantum 4180 4905 168666 40.4 34.4 Odyssey 4200 5510 167704 39.9 30.4 Spectrum 4246 5622 169379 39.9 30.1 Rhapsody 1998 2416 78878 39.5 32.6 Vision 2050 2514 78717 38.4 31.3 Grandeur 1992 2440 73817 37.1 30.3 Enchantment 2252 2730 82910 36.8 30.4

That's definitely a form letter. Which is why I noted that sending an email to special needs is rather fruitless. It's what happens on board that matters.

I can appreciate liking the smaller ships, but no matter the ship size, I've never felt it crowded or felt the staff was overwhelmed with crowds.

WIth the weak western Caribbean routes, an Icon ship would be perfect there.

I hope I'm not the only one who had to google what this was.

I would do this. Since you have all the original docs saying everything was paid, they may be receptive.
