  1. Thanks! I was looking at Long Beach, but I wasn't sure if that was the right area. There are two ports, right? Long Beach and Los Angeles?
  2. It is shocking to me how often this happens now. I have been cruising for 20 years, first cruise as a honeymoon in 2003. Up until the relaunch (I did not travel during the restrictions) I had never once witnessed any type of medical emergency. We've been on four cruises since the restart and there have been medical emergencies (more than one) on each cruise, and two deaths that I know of. What in the heck is going on?
  3. I'm looking around for a hotel to stay in the night before departure. I don't know the area at all so I'm hoping to get some recommendations for a good hotel or good area to choose that's close to the port (or within easy Uber) while not breaking the bank. I don't need there to be any draw for what's outside of the hotel. We'll be in late so we'll get right to the hotel and go to sleep. Thanks!
  4. I would imagine this might mean you have to soon be Diamond plus and above to use it.
  5. We went up to change for formal photos and heard the Alpha call. We started trying to make our way down about an hour late and they had the exit closed. They were making calls trying to get permission to move the body, so I presume it was a death. The crew came out when there were a dozen of us and escorted through the emergency exit.
  6. Yep we had this happen last cruise. It wasn’t an issue at all at the port.
  7. According to their site they do not shut down if the govt shuts down.
  8. Do you know what the cut off is? I was thinking it might be a week, and we took care of this on Friday, so I was very glad she found out when she did.
  9. One of our party found out that she couldn't go on the cruise, which leaves in seven days. We were able to call RC and change the guest name without any problem at all. It even updated all of our reservations for the new guest. Really excellent service.
  10. If we have an adult with a passport, but a child with a birth certificate, do we just go through the BC line when we leave the ship? Thanks!
  11. I wonder if it was possibly someone disposing of their loved ones ashes and including a note? I’m trying to see the best here, but it’s a reach.
  12. We stayed in the 2BR on Harmony and watched the show from the balcony. You can easily seat 4 at the bar (I think there were only 4 chairs there), but there was plenty of standing room. I don’t think 12 would be a problem.
  13. I was checking the app today for our sailing in a few weeks and I can’t find any open ice skating. Does anyone know if it is still offered?
  14. Does anyone know if there is still ice skating on board? I can’t find it in the daily activities.
  15. We did Allure in January and April, there were two comedians on board both times, one was different in April, one was the very same guy as January, so I don’t think they’re different every cruise, unless we just had a huge coincidence. Could be. I’m hopeful neither is on board in September.
  16. When we needed to link a group on our last cruise, nine people, we linked the reservations before hand, but they didn’t link the tables as requested. So the first night took an extra 20 minutes or so to get that sorted, and then every night after that we ate at the same table.
  17. You can participate without being in the action. Like when I did it they asked for each team to come up with a bottle of prescription medication. I had some with me so I threw it to the team leader without leaving my seat. In hindsight that could have been very bad if he’d been unable to catch it and it had hit the ground and popped open, so I wouldn’t do that again, but certainly you can help the team score without doing anything at all embarrassing.
  18. I’ve only done it once, It seemed to me that the people in the crowd had done it a lot, like they came prepared. It kind of felt…fabricated somehow, if that makes sense. I think if you had people who came and didn’t know shot e about it, that would be a riot.
  19. Same. I carry a light jacket in my "around the ship" bag, and I wear it a lot. The ships get too chilly for me in the general areas, but my family is fine.
