Why shouldn't kids in suites be allowed to use the suite amenities though?

Who was the concierge may I ask?

Gilda Li.

Thanks to all for the responses. I like to respect the servers and the MDR machine so to speak so we will plan for 5:00 - 5:15. The servers work hard enough without me arriving late and throwing everything off for them. 

The good news there is that the suite lounge should be open for drinks/apps at 4:30, despite the advertised time being 5pm. At least it was in March. And unless something has changed, it'll be the same concierge from March, too.

I'm not sure what happened to Elvis

Isn't he working at a 7-11 in Costa Rica?

Oh wait, wrong Elvis.

It's 5pm on Adventure, despite the app saying 5:30. In your cruise docs, it'll show 5pm, and a week or two before the cruise the app will update to 5pm also.

Yeah...it kinda makes you wonder if they will be relocating the Labadee experience.  I have no data to support that...just thinking out loud.  Maybe Labadee has become too much trouble, finally.

Could be. Or they know they need to start coming up with additional port options to support future growth.

What do you do with the plates? 

The room steward takes them at the next cleaning.

Sounds like a Costa Maya type situation.

We always take our lunch back to the room.

I tried to sail Rhapsody twice. Both were canceled for non-covid reasons. First one I think Rhapsody got redeployed elsewhere. Second one was the Panama group cruise.

But how can you show prices when you haven't picked a room category yet?

When I click the room category, it shows me the price.

I remember showing it 4 or 5 times in Nassau….all in the same room…each table in sight of the table we showed them at previously. 

That was the best and worst cruise I've ever been on.

One positive to the new format from the pictures posted is the total cost displaying in the options rather than the per person number.

That's how it is now, isn't it?

Covid card? Really??

I think the context there is at the time those were required to board, having a picture of it may help you board if you forgot/lost it.

For whatever the reason the current market is mostly about tapping into that never-cruised demographic and that segment seems to love short cruising.    Royal is riding that wave of demand while it exists.

Americans take less vacation time than anyone in the western world. It makes sense to push the short vacation window.

Actually I will caveat that. My experience has been with fixed time dining. It may be a bit more challenging for MTD, but still worth asking.

Haines is a gorgeous little town. I'd love to live in a town like that.

But for a shore excursion port of call? Not so much.

From personal experience, absolutely.

Skagway is down a dock after a replacement dock broke in transit over the winter.

RC plays 3rd fiddle for Alaska stops, so no surprise they'd get pushed.

I didn't realize anyone got them free.

I still see the old site in incognito mode. Though oddly the cruise I tested with is more expensive in incognito mode.

I still see the old search engine. But based on pictures I like the new. 

But I actually have an offer in my My Offers section! It's a code for "up to" $200 off .

There are reports that the Oct 11 Adventure cruise will stop there for the first time.

Looks like a new for-profit cruise stop built in the middle of nowhere. Norwegian started calling there in January.
