The dreaded positive test result
smokeybandit replied to Curtis Kari's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'd go get a PCR test (that test for multiple viruses at once) in the mean time. A lot of kids that young have symptoms from something else (like the flu or RSV) but additionally test positive for covid. -
The article said this wasn't a drug death.

Finding a good travel agent - What traits do you look for?
smokeybandit replied to Bart's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Honestly you really have to rely on reputation for a good TA. All those traits are great, but it's when something goes wrong that a TA really proves their worth. -
Grand Suite on Freedom, 2 beds?
smokeybandit replied to PRebecca's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Yes, GS is two beds pushed together to make the king -
I threw a few dollars at upgrading from a 1 BR to a 2BR GS on Liberty in March. No big deal if we don't get it but figured why not.

Cruising during the Olympics

They convert the water slides to bob sled courses. -

Is the service fee pool capped though? Say the cruise has $1000 in service fee money for the beverage packages. But those who have the DBP wrack up what would have been $1500 in gratuities if billed per drink. Does that mean they only still pull from that $1000? or do they get actuals because the odds say enough people won't max out their package and RC will make money anyway?

Rant on Deluxe Beverage Package
smokeybandit replied to Dimension's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I've always found RC drink pricing pretty reasonable. No one says you have to buy the package, you can always buy them a la carte. -
Anyone done a 2-bedroom suite on Liberty? Knowing the price it was when I booked this cruise, the minimum bid is dirt cheap. But I'd risk a lower deck.

Purchasing next cruise on board

You should be able to access the RC website without an internet package. -
State of Florida Sues CDC Over Cruise Shut Down
smokeybandit replied to UNCFanatik's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
The CDC dropped its appeal. https://cbs12.com/news/local/feds-drop-appeal-on-cruise-industry-restrictions-ships-cdc-centers-for-disease-control-prevention-desantis-florida-attorney-general-ashley-moody-norwegian-line-covid -
Yep. Good to know "Your bid is priced per person and based on two guests per stateroom for the entire length of your cruise. So you only get charged for the first and second guests." Also interesting (though I guess not unexpected) is that I can upgrade to any suite class despite the suites for that cruise showing as sold out.
-
I usually ignore these, but I got one that tickles my fancy. However, when I enter my bid, it only shows it for 2 people, not 3 (10 yr old is the other one in the cabin).

Wonder of the Seas delayed?
smokeybandit replied to Cruise4TheSoul's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
There may well be some finishing touches that are delayed due to supply chain and/or labor issues but wouldn't necessarily delay the launch -
Purchasing next cruise on board
smokeybandit replied to Cruisemama84's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I wouldn't worry about cruise fare when doing NextCruise. You do nextCruise for reduced deposit and OBC that has some extra staying power in the event of a change later on -
Why do ships have Dedicated Conference Rooms?
smokeybandit replied to DisneyWorld30th's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I need to work for a company that'd require me to use a cruise ship conference room -
I would treat those tests like you'd treat any medication you take on a daily basis. Carry it on with you.
