  1. Taking a wild guess here. I am looking at the C&A questions with the "Overcrowding" and figuring that the cuts are going to be molded into the Perks we currently receive. RCL offers the best perks industry wide but they are slowly being trimmed down a bit and I expect will be further reduced. They bragged about getting many more "New" cruisers and now can afford to cut perks and upset some Loyal cruisers that are Diamond and Diamond+ (Like myself). This will reduce the overcrowding in Lounges and reduce their costs via less free drink vouchers, less crystal blocks, less free wifi, and so on. I hate to say it but that would be something I see as a win/win for them with no real downside to consider.
  2. Please do not bench press the lifeboats. I think that is how the last one fell off the ship.
  3. RCL announces "The Luggage Key!" For just 29.99 per guest/per day you can enjoy an additional 200 lbs. of luggage weight for your cruise enjoyment. PLEASE. Nobody fact check me on this
  4. I believe that it is frowned upon by RCL so lets just say "I have a Friend" that uses his/her D+ two free days of internet to allow MDR mates and friends they met throughout the cruise that do not have internet access and in need of travel check-in to meet at the Internet Cafe and book their check in the night before and go celebrate our (Ooops! I mean their) last night and spend every last voucher before they disembark the following day. This is what my FRIEND does.
  5. This survey comes right from the playbooks! 1. They mention a record breaking quarter. 2. Discuss raising prices for Cruising because "People will pay!" 3. Discuss reducing the gap between land base vacations and a Cruise Vacation. 4. Hey, Look over there. They MAY start charging a few dollars for awful, mediocre pizza. By now people have forgotten the Actual raises that will most likely occur from CEO discussions just last month that could be in the Hundreds if not thousands. People tend to forget things quickly and move on to the next "Bad Thing." Sound familiar?
  6. I believe that this is more or less what they had in mind for "Axe Throwing". We experienced this activity on a Princess Cruise to Alaska in May while docked in Ketchican.
  7. Darn... I thought the "Bar Code Trick" was, You walk up to the bar, give the bartender a secret code, and Viola ! free drinks. No such luck i guess?
  8. I may be "Cheap" in my thinking but I wouldn't want to get off a day early. I paid for all that food and drinks and lodging and I am going to use it all ! Plus, I am NEVER in a hurry to go back to work.
  9. Could one of you kind folks please link (from Amazon) a decent power adapter that will work for both London and Paris. I have never stayed in London so I am unaware of what works best. Thank you all in advance.
  10. Or... Go during Mid Winter when the line for the water slides will be MUCH shorter?
  11. Spin Classes? I used to be addicted to the "Hokey Pokey" but then I turned myself around.
  12. Just a guess but maybe it is greyed out because the lifeboat fell off the ship and hasn't been replaced yet?
  13. Was anyone expecting things to go smoothly from RCL IT department?
  14. Navigator of the seas has a Starbucks on deck 4 aft. which is not listed on your site.
  15. Especially if you live within 50 miles of the pier. I have been on a free 3 day, 4 of the 4 day, and 2 of the 7 day Mexico cruises. I have 2 more booked for this year.
  16. I wonder.... RCL Tops 100 and Matt makes pinnacle at the same time. Coincidence ? I think not!
  17. With the larger Ships, larger price tags, and the higher per night booking price They should call one of the Icon Class Ships. Bankruptcy of the Seas
  18. I accidently left several $100 bills in the safe. They have a picture of Ben Franklin on them. If anyone finds one please send it to me. I don't recall the cabin # but if you find one in a cabin it was mine. Thank you in advance for your help in retrieving these Bills.
  19. Anyone else remember eating at the "Captains Table" ? We received place cards and A Souvenir Menu with our names on them (We also got food!) and made uncomfortable small talk with the Captain.
  20. I have also had mine show I was in Egypt. But that was when I was cheating in Pokemon Go!
  21. This is refreshing. A first time poster seeking good information instead of just a complaint. Welcome and enjoy your cruise to Barcelona.
  22. Yes. The first few times you may need to show the Seapass card to a waiter or Bartender but once you frequent those locations several times most of them just remember you and you may not need to show it. But, bring it with you when you wish to get a soda just in case their memory is like mine and they forget.
