The shower curtain hung perfectly! I had a full size curtain folded in half, 3 magnets through the hoops on top and screwed off the hooks on 2 more to secure the bottom. Never had any water on the bathroom floor! I will do this every time I have a Jr Suite from now on!

Thanks!

In past cruises the safety button was on the app from the start (but as you said, not registering "complete". Now no safety button at all. So they update the app on the morning of the cruise? Thats new!

Good Afternoon! We sail this Saturday on Symphony. One of the changes on the App since I sailed in December is the safety button is not on the app yet. Any recent cruisers notice when RC adds the safety button? Not a big deal but curious since it has always been on the app well before sailing, I was curious.

I have 4/ 130 lb. hooks. Those should hold a shower curtain no problem. Thanks for the insight!

Thank you!

Are the ceilings in the bathrooms metal to use magnetic hooks? I have always used them in the room but never in the bathroom. Considering taking a half shower curtain with magnetic hooks for the shower/tub in a Jr Suite on Symphony. It has a partial glass door but last cruise I had water on the floor numerous times.

When I sailed Symphony of the Seas in early December the casino did not open until 9:30 in Aruba and 6:30 in Curacao, both after departure. I have noticed on more recent Cruise Compass and App schedules they open while the ship is still docked at both islands. I am wondering if there were new agreements with RC and these islands or if the information on the app and cruise compass is incorrect? Has anyone been to A & C recently and noticed this change? Thanks for any insight!

Congrats on sailing Symphony's first 8-day cruise from Port Everglades! We are on the Dec 2 sailing and are very excited! Requesting either of you (if willing) to scan the QR code for the digital Cruise Compasses for your sailing and post here on the section of the website that downloads them. Our group would love to get a "sneak peek" at the itinerary for the week. We are also checking for app updates but is so much better reviewing the digital Cruise Compasses! Thanks in advance if you are willing! And HAVE A WONDERFUL CRUISE!

Is anyone sailing on Symphony 8-night sailing November 18th willing to scan the Cruise Compass QR code and post them for the week in that area of the website? I would love to share them with our group sailing the same itinerary on December 2nd. Thank you!

Royal's new terminal in Galveston is excellent! Last August I arrived at 9:45 and lined up. Was onboard at 10:30! Earliest ever in 40+ cruises! The terminal is very nice if you have to wait a few minutes before boarding. When the new terminal first opened it took some time to get operations in order and lots of delays. Much better now! I also recommend doing the self-assist when you return. So fast that you are off the ship and on the road in minutes once they get clearance.

Thanks for the feedback! I always enjoy checking in and boarding as early as possible!

Sailing Symphony 12/2 and check in just opened. Earliest time was 11:30. Asked if this was normal for Port Everglades cruises and most answers were yes, it is normal. I have usually had 10:30 or 11 times in Miami, Galveston and Long Beach. Can any cruisers that sail Royal from Port Everglades recently share their check in times? Our group also speculated that since this sailing is just after Thanksgiving perhaps they needed extra time to put up Christmas decor? Other question is when would suite guests with priority boarding arrive if 11:30 is the earliest check in time? Thanks for any feedback!

Boarded Allure today. Was directed to the Suite line, Checked in at Suite Lounge and was onboard just after 10am! Jr Suite boarding procedure was fast and great.

Will do. I am helping my son move right after the cruise but will post as soon as I have a moment!
