We tip our stateroom attendant $20 per day and usually give $50 dollars for a three or four day and $100 dollars for a seven day to our MDR head waiter. We carry another $100 in small bills to take care of any other crew that provides excellent service.

Can't wait to sail on this new ship! Who will join us?

Just got off the plane in Barcelona, they didn’t even check our vax cards. So easy.

The airline doesn’t know so I called the Spanish Consulate and they didn’t know. Geez

Royal caribbean just stated I need an antigen test

So I am having a little mental breakdown. I was going to fill out the SpTH form and got the following message. What do I need to get into Spain?? On the phone with Royal Caribbean and they don’t know. This just changed today and I fly out tomorrow

I keep the set sail pass in my apple wallet and I carry a Manila folder of all my documents.

Thanks for the information, the website was very helpful

We fly into Barcelona next Thursday for a cruise on Wonder leaving the following Sunday. Do we need to fill out the Spanish Travel Health form??

We use a 10-point scale where I work and are required to investigate every score below 10. The employee doesn't technically get in trouble for a low score, but if they fail to follow procedure they are disciplined. Of course, they wouldn't be investigated if they scored a 10....

I use the digital copy on my phone, but I always have my cruise folder full of printed out documents just in case.

I have absolutely no problem with gratuities going up. This would amount to around $11 extra for my cruise. These stewards, bartenders, waitstaff, laundry workers, plumbers, electricians, cooks and other staff work tirelessly 7 days a week to ensure we have a good time. They smile, bow and scrape, suffer abuse, for very small salaries most of which they send home to their families. My cabin steward on my last cruise had 3 children at home that he got to see every 4 or 5 months. I don't begrudge them an extra $11, and I will supplement their salaries with extra tips. I feel it is the least I can do for all they do for me.

No more testing for European cruises under 10 days, unless your going to Greece!! Hallelujah

you can bring an Emed test with you, that's what we are doing

This is a new program, different than the international program. This is specifically for onboard the ship

Has anyone used the AT&T cruise internet package? It is cheaper than the Royal Voom surf and stream package but I’m not sure how well it works.

My wife and I will be sailing on Wonder of the Seas in the Mediterranean from 25 Sep to 02 Oct. We have always purchased the drink package for our Caribbean cruises but are leaning towards not getting it for this cruise. We are planning on spending a ton of time in port and will probably do most of our drinking off the ship. We assume after spending 8-12 hours sightseeing, we will probably be ready for a pizza and bed. We have never cruised without the drink package so are wondering if anyone could let us know if they spent less on alcohol during a Med cruise than they did on Caribbean cruises.

we took our adult kids and spouses on Mariner. We all ate at Playmakers for around $100. So much food, good drinks and great atmosphere. Its bar food, but really good bar food.

True you do not have to be boosted, but you must have your lasted shot within 270 days, I was outside that requirement and had to get a booster. At least that was the requirement when I got my booster

We are sailing out of Barcelona. We have to be boosted to meet the requirements

Ive always found the crew really like money

Hopefully by the time I board Wonder in Barcelona September 25th seven day cruises will be included

If your dry cleaning you pay per item, maybe that’s what she was talking about.

I would like to see a question that asks if cruisers would be comfortable with a vaccine requirement and an elimination of pre cruise testing
