We received them on our recent cruise on the Explorer. Also, regarding Diamond Plus members having access to the Concierge Lounge, please see the update (dated 3/4/22) on the RC website. As of 3/15/22 Diamond Plus members do have access to the Concierge Lounge. Some ships have Suite Lounges and currently Diamond Plus members don't have access to those (unless they're in a suite). On the RC homepage click on the 3 bars on the top left of the page (to the left of the RC LOGO), then click "Crown & Anchor Society", then click "View Member Benefits updates", then scroll down to "Suite & Concierge Lounges". I hope this helps. On our recent Explorer cruises in May, we were in the Concierge Lounge prior to dinner, every evening. Happy cruising everyone!

If the cruise line offers an excursion we like, we’ll book it through them. I’m also totally comfortable booking my own excursions (after extensive investigating and reading reviews).

An Apple air tag!

Good morning! We both know you must be excited with your cruise being 30 days away! Congratulations on the 60th birthday! We hope your cruise is magnificent and filled with great memories!

Staying tuned.

We like formal nights. I’ve generally taken a tux on every cruise and have also worn my dress blues (military uniform).

I sincerely hope you enjoy the cruise in September and also, pre-congratulations on your 60th birthday next month! We're researching things to do at all the ports. Yes, it looks like there are quite a few restaurants on the Navigator and we fully intend to visit Hooked !

Update: RC sent an email out earlier today. This cruise is being changed from 4 nights to 7 nights (13 thru 20 Jan)!

Hello everyone! Booked this cruise as a B2B with some friends. We're excited about seeing some new ports, and leaving from Los Angeles!

Anyone else going on this cruise. We booked this along with some friends, as part of a B2B that departs on 20 January. First cruise on the west coast for us. Can't wait!

There is a Meet and Greet at 3 pm at the Sky Bar on Saturday.

We did this today. We were picked up at the staging area and went by bus for a short ride to the starting point. There were clean bathrooms there and a place to purchase drinks for the ride. It takes about 90 minutes to complete the trip and you might even get a chance to steer the raft. We were given life jackets and could take them off after a spell. Always felt safe from the time we were picked up until dropped off back at the ship. A “thrill” ride it is not. But if you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful, ride down the Martha Brae river, this is great! My wife and I were on the first raft. There were 2 ships in port and a lot of people on this excursion. I certainly would do it again and highly recommend it.

We arrived in Miami yesterday. Safe travels everyone. Bon voyage! 🏖🗺

Thank you very much for the information. I hope that the conditions you describe, improve so that you guys all enjoy a fantastic cruise filled with many great memories!

Congratulations! We just became Diamond Plus after completing our cruise in March.

We do the same. The cards come in handy!

At some point, after boarding, we check our table assignment in the MDR so we know where it is, (unless the ship has Coastal Kitchen) .

I just received the email about the change too (for our 14 May cruise). No worries, there is plenty to do on Grand Cayman. And just gives me an excuse to book another cruise later that goes to Bonaire .

Looks like we're stopping in Grand Cayman now instead of Bonaire (email RC just sent). I'm still looking forward to this cruise! Just gives me an excuse to book another cruise later, that stops at Bonaire.

To the best of my knowledge the itinerary has not changed since we originally booked it. La Romana is not one of the stops. I hope this helps.

Yes, we have on every cruise we've taken.

Hopefully, not a lot of snow ! Looks like cruise docs were emailed today, woohoo!

After a lot of research, I booked this excursion today. I hope to return after our cruise and post how it went. Happy cruising everyone!

Welcome to the roll call! Cruise docs arrived today!

Yes, I definitely agree, there is a lot of good information in the app. I’m a fan !
