    Galveston is a perfect place to base a ship that people are expected to sail for the ship, not the itinerary.

    On Allure. Sailed by Icon.
    I wanted to jump off Allure, swim towards Iconand be rescued. My wife took off her wedding ring.
    I climbed off railing.

    How about we keep B&J and just get rid of Cats on Oasis of the Seas.

    Mark_A got a reaction from Neesa in Star inaugural prices. You better sit down   
    I am glad I already have three booked for 2025!  I am getting my Icon fix on the Icon Inaugural. I got a good price on the first day of booking. That is enough for me.....I'll go back to the lowly Wonder, and Odyssey 🙂

    $105,177.58 for the Family Townhouse?
    Sorry, but that’s $177.58 more than I would have spent for it.

    Mark_A reacted to Vlad in Black Friday credit card charges DISAPPEARED !!!   
    Hi Mark, welcome to this thread. 
    So it's definitely something to do with the 8th. Hopefully, it won't ruin the cruise or purchases itself if not fixed. 
    So far, I have no idea what to do. Royal is saying it's booked, credit card saying it was approved, and it's merchant who haven't finalized transactions. 
  18. Wow

    Mark_A reacted to SGlazylife in Giving some love to Cafe270   
    After browsing the forums for awhile, i've noticed there isn't much love given to cafe270. It might be my favourite included venue on the quantum ships.
    On embarkation day, lunch at 270 is a huge lifesaver to get away from crowds at the WJ. And while the food options are limited and don't change much from day to day, the quality relative to the WJ is much better.
    I truly love the toasted sandwiches and wraps as well as assortment of baked goods for lunch. They even have a small cooked foods area for those friends and family who are forced away from the WJ.
    And the best thing about cafe270 has got to be the breakfast. Bagels with whatever combination of cream cheese, delightful royal egg muffins, and those tiny crossinis which fill up that small space in my heart. One trick with the bagels is that you can always ask for smoked salmon if thats your thing, i saw some people doing it on my last cruise and was thinking, "why didn't i think of that".
    Not to mention the view of the ocean while munching on your grub. It always feels less crowded and somehow more cosy than the other breakfast venues (gold member/non-suite guest). And if you're there in the morning, the morning stretch is held there to limber you up for the rest of the day.
    This is just an appreciation post for cafe270. What are other tips and tricks, or things you like about cafe270?

    Mark_A reacted to Keanoknick in First Star Class suite!   
    Even though it's nearly two years away,  I am so incredibly excited to have booked our first Star Class suite, a Spacious 2 bdrm Aqua Theatre suite, on Harmony, for October 2025.  This will be for mine and my wife's 20th anniversary.    Unless we book an additional cruise between now and then, we should also hit Diamond on that cruise.
    Now, just need to figure out how to make October of '25 get here faster!

    My watch is analog and I keep it at ship’s time. My wife will occasionally argue with me about what time it actually is because her phone is set to adjust to the local time zone.
