Today my itinerary changed. Previously scheduled for 12/25 Labadee, Now 12/25 Sea Day and previously scheduled 12/24 Sea Day is now 12/24 Nassau, Bahamas.

Any one else get the update?

I think it is a world cruise.

Thank you! These are just the posts I was hoping to see. This cut my excursion costs in half. I'm going to get the all day pass for both adults, and we will each take a kid with us (6 and 8 yrs).

I love this message board. The experiences you share are so valuable.

That is fun!

The people kidnapped were all from Millersburg, Ohio. Only a hour from me.

I'm looking at the Labadee excursions. I see two options for the Dragon's Tail Coaster. There is a single ride ticket for Dragon's Tail Coaster: Single Ride  $18.99 and Dragon's Tail Coaster - All Day Access $25.99. When I look at the description and important notes section I see this:

"Purchase a ticket and take a person along in your cart for free! Consider physical fitness and medical history when selecting tour. "

"Children between the ages of 5 and 11 may ride with their parent/guardian. "

So am I reading this right, If I have a ticket I can have my kid ride with me free?

The people who answer the phones are likely the last to know of a change related to an itinerary. With Royal, the answer is the answer until it's not.

As a person who used to work in multiple call centers, that is true.

I'm trying to judge if I want to go specialty for Christmas Dinner. I can see the Chops Menu, and Giovanni's Table menu, but not the MDR. Any references? Advise?

I re-booked The Key for my group. Saved about $50. I got the unlimited photo package at 40% off. I did see that it was listed at 70% off on the PDF for some sailings. I'm hoping for another drop on Black Friday.

Thanks for the heads up.

Lucky for me that is what I want to have done!

Another drop.

Laundry will be an extra charge, but usually on the 7+ night cruises, RCL will have an "All You Can Stuff In This Bag" laundry deal for a set price.  And, everything comes back clean and neatly folded to your room!

Do you have a ball park for this service? It might be worth it to pack half of some things.

I'm on the Jewel over Christmas.

What do you collect as keepsakes from your cruises?

I collect luggage tags!

 

These along with the SeaPasses would make good themed Christmas ornaments.

Labadee it still on my itinerary for Christmas day. Will it actually happen? We will see.

I'm booked on Jewel out of Miami Dec 23. We are scheduled to be in Labadee (still) on Christmas Day.

I to just had the price of my cruise go down. My TA what awesome and got me $300ish in OBC. Where does that show up in the cruise planner? As far as I can see nothing changed.

I have the Key for my Dec 23 Jewel sailing.  I have seen others post about a purchased Key being canceled. No cancellations for me yet.

Since we are having a convo about the lamination. I will share this experience. Over the weekend we had the Akron Marathon. I volunteered at the race expo - bib pick up. To volunteer I had to show my vax docs. This is the first time I have EVER been asked to show it. I do carry my card in my in my wallet everyday.

To run the race you did have to be vaxed or have a negative test with in 72 hours of the race. I personally saw about 25% of the participants have laminated cards. 25% of the participants had two cards stapled together. We were not told lamination was a problem, in fact it was never mentioned as part of the check process.

My personal observation, laminated cards all were in nice condition. Un-laminated cards were often worn looking. Lots of rolled corners, folds, general signs of wear. Totally surprised how many double cards there were. Those were almost all had signs of lots of wear.

Not one had a nice sleeve like we are looking for/is shared here.

**I'm not advocating for lamination or non-lamination. Just sharing my observations about the few hundred cards I had access to.

I  have seen those sleeves on Amazon. This is a five pack you can get pretty cheap.

I just ordered this. I have my fingers crossed the kids will be vaxxed before we leave in Dec.

Is there a plastic sleeve anyone is using? Some think the card can go in and out, but is still super slim. I have seen the "plague pass" carriers, but they are bulkier than I'm looking for. Ideally it would be paper clipped into my passport.

On our cruise last January, I had enough saved up to get a $50 on board credit (I think my husband did too and we were able to combine to get $100 OBC). I tried to get the $100 OBC for this cruise and unfortunately you can only redeem one benefit/person/booking.

I don't think you can.

Have a great time! I'm so happy your in on the restart!
