You'll be fine. We've self-disembarked in Seattle and have been at home by 9:00. We live 45 minutes south of SeaTac.

Really no need to contact RC...the porters at the port will easily put a tab on your luggage if you don't have one.

My wife has the same issue with pretty much any mattress other than our own. We've started taking this along with us and it has really worked for her:

Diamond Plus > lounge denied > Voucher changes in order.
Husky1987 replied to Censored's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
As with most things, it's a YMMV situation. With 5 drinks/day, my wife and I no longer buy the drink package. Saves us about $1100-1200 on a week cruise. To us, that and the D+ BOGO dining that we use twice are the decent money savers. We'll occasionally use the wash and fold laundry perk but that's not a big deal to us. -
Disembarkation> Earliest flight?
Husky1987 replied to Censored's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I see you've been changed to a later flight but FYI for future reference, with self-disembark we've been sitting at our gate at FLL by 8:00 many times. -

Stupid question (probably) about luggage tags
Husky1987 replied to TheRick's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Even if you don't print them out, the porters will make one up and put it on your bag for you. -
We've run across him on a couple cruises and my wife (who frequents the smoking section) has talked with him a few times...she says he's been nothing but nice. He's been very approachable for her....she respects his space and if his laptop is open, he's working and she doesn't bother him.

Requesting Tips on top of Gratuities
Husky1987 replied to Traveling Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
My wife runs through our stack of ones giving $2-3 to just about every person she runs across cleaning stair railings and bathrooms and bussing our tables in the WJ. She's actually had some break into tears. -

Requesting Tips on top of Gratuities
Husky1987 replied to Traveling Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Exactly. I remember the days of a half-full MDR on the last night because all the cheapskates didn't want to face they waiters and buspersons they were stiffing. -
opt for less stateroom cleaning for more points?
Husky1987 replied to Pattycruise's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
One huge labor-related thing that has changed during the pandemic is that many people have realized that they no longer want certain jobs for little money. If hotels want more people to sign up to clean, they need to pay them more (and raise rates or make less profit....guess which one they'll do?). They don't want to pay cleaning staff more, so they'll blame a "labor shortage." Labor shortages are fairly easy to solve. Many companies just don't want to do the one thing that'll solve them. -
Requesting Tips on top of Gratuities
Husky1987 replied to Traveling Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I've had envelopes on every cruise as well. I think OP is reading WAY to much into this. There is a huge difference between leaving a blank envelope where you can choose to use it or not and write any crew member's name in there if you so desire, and the cabin steward sitting outside his cabin door on the last night with a cardboard sign saying "Anything will help".
