On Friday I am leaving for Sydney and will be gone 33 days.  I will be on the Ovation for 28 days.  I just realized I am going to need a 2-pack of Deodorant.  Will the bottle of shampoo be enough for 33 days. 

So what I am asking you experts is...  What am I not thinking about that I might run out of?

Off topic, sorry... if you are arriving in Sydney days in advance what hotel are you staying in?

We call the sale "Walmart at sea" and sometimes, people act like it's a big Black Friday sale.

I am guilty of buying the t shirts

With the new parking garages being built I wonder how long it will be before the price to park goes up.

We've never done a cruise this long and are hoping to meet some new folks while onboard. I just found this site & thought I'd give it a try. My husband & I live in Cocoa Beach, Florida and are Diamond cruisers.

You should go all in and book the return trip for the b2b, instead of paying for airfare home just stay on the ship.

I wonder how long it takes to get the Visa once applied for.

Lyft or Uber work great.

Do you remember the cost?

Okay then, what about a 14 night that I am going on thru the Panama Canal. As Diamond Plus, do you still only get one free wash and fold or two?

Recently sailed on Mariner of the Seas, normally they have two gangways , one forward and one aft and it is a wonderful thing, you are off the ship in no time. Well the aft  gangway wasn't working (the line I was in) so things gat snarled. Don"t know who owns those rolling gangways...Other than that fun was had by all!

Great, thank you! I have some work to do. It is the 14 day thru the Panama Canal that will be sweet.

They don't always bring your gift the first day of the cruise, I just came back off the Mariner and I received my Tote bag the evening of day 2.

I send an email to shareholderbenefit@rccl.com.  I include proof of ownership (i.e. brokerage statement), ship, sail date, booking number, room number and my name.

It always works for me.

How far in advance do you normally send it in?

Thank you, I called Crown and Anchor after posting this and they said the same thing. For whatever reason I seem to trust answers from this board more...

Has anyone heard if Royal is going to change the port of call from Haiti? They are having some real problems there, kidnappings and civil unrest, doesn't look safe.

I have a question...I am considering buying 100 or more shares of Royal stock. Most times I cruise as a Solo passenger as a Diamond plus member with 363 points. I don't always pay the full 200 percent single supplement because I get a discount and normally pay around 150 percent. Would I still receive the onboard credit benefit by not paying the full 200 percent. I have 3 upcoming cruises of 14 days each.

Relieved to hear that, I am on the April 6th sailing. I will be happy when she is on her way back. Anyone know how long it takes to sail back to Port Canaveral?

You will love the Mariner, great ship and crew. This cruise will be her first sailing since her refit in Cadiz, Spain ( still there today). She will be all bright and shiny.
