I have tried this exact thing, my hot spot toggle was greyed out, I wasn’t able to use it at all. I can’t help with CocoCay, sorry.

Minecraft almost certainly.

S’mores maker spotted on the confiscated table
Bowen replied to Bowen's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I was wondering if it was something like this. -
S’mores maker spotted on the confiscated table

It’s in the box under the silver tea pot in the front. -

A friend sailed with about 30 bottles of EO, no issues.

That’s the story, yep. I didn’t ask the woman or the security guards, but I linked what I witnessed with a post matching my details on the Facebook page for the cruise. I guess someone could make that up, but seems like a really odd thing to make up.

LOL! Right?

Two funny stories from the cruise we’re on that’s just about to end. On night four we noticed security going up and down our hall, they entered one room while wearing cameras attached to their chests and then we heard the safe open (we were one door away across the hall, we didn’t mind our business). Turns out someone had a magnet on their door and it had been stolen. The person complained to security, they got involved and found the thief, a grandmother who had taken it to give to her grandkids. Last night there was a grown man passed smooth out in the waiting area near the elevators on deck 10, just absolutely out cold. Security had to get involved there as well. It was a great cruise, lots of stories to talk about for sure!

It was listed in the planner. Day two and three at 2:00, lasting about a half hour. Then again at 2:00 on day seven with the actual performance at 4:45. You just show up, no need to sign up, no limit of people. After the first practice we just went back to our original spots each time. It was on the promenade in front of the little shop next to cafe promenade. The practices and performance were all in the same spot.

This was the first cruise where we practiced for a flash mob on the final night. I’ve never done anything like it and it was SO MUCH FUN! 10/10 would recommend.

No Diamond access to lounge from 5-8 on Harmony
Bowen replied to Bowen's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
They changed the name to Crown lounge about a a month ago and told everyone not to worry, that it wouldn’t affect Diamond members. Then it came out that it would exclude Diamond members, but only on specific sailings. Then people started getting notices that their sailing would have too many diamonds and so the lounge would only be Diamond plus and up. This is my first sailing since that announcement and we got a notice saying Diamond is not allowed in the lounge from 5-8 pm. My speculation is that this will become the norm. You can still use the lounge, just not at night during prime time. -
I think this is just going to be something people ought to expect, they definitely renamed that lounge for a reason.

GROUP CRUISE ADVICE FOR FAMILY CRUISE????
Bowen replied to RCARD's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We cruise with large groups. I always book myself and link the reservations, but I could see how a TA could be helpful here. I just like having control, COVID burned me on TAs. Anyhow, I second the “Plan some stuff together, but don’t go crazy” train of thought. We have all dinners together and also shows. Other than that we just go with the flow and meet up in smaller groups to do whatever we’re feeling like doing. It’s awesome cruising in a large group, have fun! -
This.

What is your ballpark yearly budget?
Bowen replied to Dimension's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We keep our budget the same and bump to different rooms to accommodate. Be it balcony, window, or interior, what’s important to us is the cruising, not the room. -
Well now we know what is to come for Diamond members
Bowen replied to RCIfan1912's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I love the pinnacle pin people, they are adorable! I always talk to them about their cruising and they always seem happy to chat. -
It was great on Allure, terrible on Liberty last year (I am not sure if that was Star Link though). It probably is ship dependent.

What's a shore excursion you'll never do again?
Bowen replied to Matt's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Perfectly said. Same. -
I eat well and keep things in check on the regular so I can do whatever on the cruise, and then when I get home I just increase my daily deficit a little (I track my calories in an app) and get back to my normal weight range within a few weeks. I find that just having a healthy lifestyle normally makes it a lot less likely I’ll go crazy on the cruise, because I’m so used to eating a certain way. That said, if I want it on a cruise I get it, lol.

WOW Royal C&A does not want to send me my crystal block!
Bowen replied to Shari's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
So do you get this on the cruise after you have reached 140, or on the cruise in which you reach 140? -
I would never correct someone else’s kids, it can just get way too messy too fast. It is very upsetting that anyone would treat any member of the crew that way.

Good hotels/area for Panama Canal Los Angeles departure?
Bowen replied to Bowen's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Thank you so much for all the detail here, it was a wonderful read (in addition to the much appreciated hotel recs).
