When they first open or right before they close. The problem right before they close is some of the time they are already taking food away.

The ' is a special character in computer programming. It has caused me lots of grief in the past 20 years. It takes lots of extra special programming to handle excepting the ' in text. It is easier to just tell people it is not excepted than to write lots of exception code. Sorry but this issue will not be fixed any time soon.

Icon Infinite Balcony bed location
Traveling Mike replied to bounceajb's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
a few years back someone told us the ship we were on was alternating beds by the balcony and sofa by the balcony. I think every ship is different -
I have had that in the past and when we called in they were able to book the room for one. I have also seen where they have GTY cabins for 2 but not 1. I called in and got the GTY price for one. Anytime you see things like that call in or have your TA call and you should be able to get it. I always have.

doing a S2S you should not need a boarding time. They should be letting you on with the first group to load if not sooner.

I do not know for sure but I would expect my travel insurance to handle it the same as missing the cruise because of a flight delay. I would also expect RCL to make an effort to get me to the second cruise or give me future cruise credit.

Getting Into Room Early?
Traveling Mike replied to Married2Grumpy's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I know everyone is saying no and if you were just wanting to get in your cabin early I would say no. But with that said: If you are a booked and traveling as a group RCL has a group coordinator that might be able to help. Doing back to backs we can get to our rooms early. If you go find her cabin steward a special tip does wonders. -
while on the Grandeur talk to guest services. They will help you with transferring to the other ship and make sure you have expedited boarding.

Fort Lauderdale / Miami Side by side
Traveling Mike replied to Rage Shifty's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I have also done this side-to-side but mine was RCL Symphony of the seas out of Miami to Celebrity Reflection out of Fort Lauderdale. Like the others they supplied a shuttle bus to take me to Fort Lauderdale and once I was there they gave me expedited ship check in. I called both RCL and Celebrity before the cruise and they both told me the staff on Symphony of the seas would help me with the transfer. -
Maybe I am confused what snacks are. I just got off the Anthem of the Seas for 35 days. I took what I considered snacks back to my room for when I was working. I took: Cookies, Cheese and meats, raisins, sunflower seeds, watermelon, apples, oranges, rolls, pastries, celery with peanut butter, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Pizza.

Royal App Switching from one Cruise to Another.
Traveling Mike replied to LEPHILLI's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I was on the app switching between my 4 booked cruises. I was able to switch and purchase items in two different cruises. -
Wind Jammer - Dining While on Loud Speaker
Traveling Mike replied to jedooley's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Do you talk to the people you are having dinner with? If they should not talk to people on their phones you should not be allowed to talk to people at your table. I do not want to hear your conversation while I eat. there is no difference other than new technology. -
They will have unlimited amount of snacks on the ship. The Buffet is not open all the time so I go get healthy snacks when I think about it. I keep oranges in my mini frig so I can have cold orange slices when ever I want something late at night or early in the morning. If you are not looking for healthy the Pizza and Cookies are available until 2 am.

I have been to Barcelona a few times and get the Hop-On-Hop-Off bus every time. I find it a good way to see everything I want to see and relax while I move around the city.

Passport book vs Passport card
Traveling Mike replied to kgo92278's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I have been one some cruises where we were told only Passport Books. Be safe and take the books. -
Our upcoming cruise is first as diamond....
Traveling Mike replied to Goldie 2001's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Yes, your kids are the same level as the parents. When they turn 18 they will hold that level until they have enough cruise points to go higher. -
You can always change your cabin in the same category. I booked one yesterday morning and changed the cabin yesterday afternoon. I always watch to see if a better cabin opens up and will change location. Move up or down a floor.

Our upcoming cruise is first as diamond....
Traveling Mike replied to Goldie 2001's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Something I just found out on my last cruise. You can use your Diamond drinks for Milkshakes at Johnny Rockets. -
I am a very forward person, so it is easy for me to say but... Look around the casino for a couple playing one machine that looks like they are having fun. Talk to them and ask if they will explain what they are doing. Or sit at the bar and talk to people about slots.

how do I get a post cruise survey
Traveling Mike replied to FOB's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I just got off a B2B2B and have not gotten any surveys. -
I agree with both @The Fox and @PhantomWolf, I put luggage tags on every bag I have and put Apple Air Tags on every bag. It is not uncommon to stop at a bar or buffet and forget a bag at the table.
-
Check with the cruise line. I did a 7 day cruise on Symphony of the Seas out of Miami and then 7 day on Celebrity Reflection out of Fort Lauderdale. They considered it a B2B and supplied free transportation from Miami to Fort Lauderdale. The bus took people to the FL Airport then the rest of us to our cruise ships.

If you have passports most likely they will not ask for more. If they ask you just let them know your partner is the other parent and you will not need the paperwork showing both parents or the paperwork giving you permission to take your daughter out of the country. If you have issues ask for a supervisor while checking in. Often the people checking in could not understand why I did not have a second parent. An example of what they are looking for. both parents on the cruise. One parent on the cruise and signed paper giving you authority to take the child out of the country by the other parent. Or like me, Single parent and divorce paperwork giving me full legal custody.
