Let them eat Cake!

Scary but that shadow box in the middle of Central Park looks like ME behind a shower curtain. Cannot get that ugly image out of your head now can you?

On a competitor Cruise line next week and currently still show Skagway as a port stop. Maybe it might be that only one large ship can port there at a time due to the landslides and RCL doesn't have priority docking privileges in Skagway? Just my guess other than Carnival Corp. purchased the White Pass/Yukon Railway in 2018 so they have a bigger stake in that port.

There may not be any Pomp depending on the Circumstance?

Flash sale today! rebooked and saved $150. Come Join us! we would love to meet all who wish to partake and your first drink is on me.

I have never won a bid with more than two people in a room. Does a third and fourth person in that room get charged the same bid price? Example: winning bid $750 is that $750 X 3 occupants = $2250 Or is it for the first two occupants? What about a solo cruiser, Do they get charged for two when Upgrading? I will stop with the questions for now. My head hurts.

It is not a sale per se. It is a bid to upgrade from lets say a balcony room to a Junior Suite. please follow the link for Royals description of a Royal Up. PLEASE NOTE! Your bid does not state it clearly enough but your bid is a per person price so if you bid $750 it will be $1500 charged for 2 people. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/booked/cruise-room-upgrade

Some of those Moobs can get scary also. Hope those words are not against posting rules?

Nonsense RCL NEVER has Tech issues.

If this does become a thing I am surely going to seek out super Mario and pay him to be a Cabin Mate for my next cruise!

The wife (and I) enjoyed Victoria. We booked an excursion to Butchart Gardens and the Butterfly Gardens (two Separate places). We also enjoyed just walking around the City as it was very beautiful as well.

I think recently they changed from 1pm to 2pm because the fewer Cabin Stewards were given more rooms to prepare thus taking more time to complete.

We booked a Baltic Cruise over two years ago because we wanted to visit St. Petersburg. Needless to say that port was cancelled but the nightmare was just beginning. We made it to Heathrow from LAX when my wife noticed that the small bag with all of my medications was not in the carry on. I left the bag on the counter at home so that at the last minute I could put my Insulin in it so it would remain cold for the flight until I reached the ship (I forgot and left it on the counter). I was able to enjoy the cruise but my Glucose level Was averaging 500mg/dl and I had to watch what I ate and drank. When the cruise ended we were stuck in Copenhagen due to Bad weather in Canada. We were given a hotel room and they Booked us a Flight back to LAX the next day. To our surprise, when we arrived back at the airport to board the flight Air Canada did not follow through with the new flight booking and we were stuck for yet another day. By Day three in Copenhagen they finally had us on a non-stop flight to LAX Confirmed. While waiting to board the flight I began feeling very bad and started hallucinating but was afraid to tell anyone for fear they would not let me board the plane. One of the ticket counter Agents that recognized me and knew of our plight grabbed our boarding passes and arranged for us to sit in First Class for the trip home. To this day I do not know what my Glucose level was because the meter only reads to 800mg/dl and this time it just read "High."

Grats on the new Grandchild!

NCLMuster = No Cluster Line Muster.

Now I am Disappointed! Does that mean that my two "Adult" children will be there when I return?

Early/Late doesn't matter to me. What I have done is on Day 1 introduce my wife and myself to the Cabin Steward/ess and Emphasize that we are o.k. with THEM picking their schedule and to let them know that we have Prepaid Gratuities and will be o.k. with their choice. We think that the prepaid gratuities cover basic room service for the Steward/ess and the behind the scenes employees in housekeeping. We then determine if we feel our Steward/ess puts in a little extra effort even if it is a cheerful good morning, how was your day, or you can just see the "Hustle" they put into their job. That is when we give something extra to say "Thank you, we noticed your efforts and appreciate you." I also consider my Prepaid Gratuities as part of the cost of the cruise and understand why it is this way. The amount we pay in "Gratuities" is not considered as income to RCL and is not a payroll expense thus RCL saves in Taxes by doing this instead of just removing these gratuities and rolling the cost into you Cruise fare.

Rum and Coke and you cover both ends?

If you are going to store valuables in a suitcase I recommend you toss your underwear on top before you lock it. No one will bother once they open it. Also Underwear has been securing the "Family Jewels" for hundreds of years.

Starbucks locations are only available on Allure of the Seas®, Harmony of the Seas®, Mariner of the Seas®, Navigator of the Seas®, Oasis of the Seas®, Symphony of the Seas® Currently. They will give "Stars" as usual when you purchase a drink but do not however honor the redemption of any starbucks promotions such as "Free Drinks." None of the Items at a Starbucks Kiosk are included with any Drink Packages as well. Cafe Promenade does have some coffee selections made with Starbucks beans (Seattle's Best) that can be obtained with a drink package.

I giggle every time I read "The Naughty Room." What is the charge to get to visit this room? Can I get a VIP pass?

Did anyone quickly book a cruise just to get in on this deal? I have to wait for my wife to check her work schedule and was going to book another Navigator Mexico trip tomorrow. Lol, I am still going to book the cruise if my wife can get the time off however, If there are people that booked a cruise just for this deal and the deal gets cancelled can they get a 100% refund and cancellation on their cruise by saying "Woops" also?

Sergeant Says to his men in the field, "I have good news and bad news." First the good news: "Today after months in the field we get to change our Underwear!" The Bad news: "Fred, You change with robert." "Karl, You change with Dan....."

Patience and Flexability.

You wash underwear? Since they are "Under" my clothes I never wash them. Just a joke, no hate mail please.
