My phone (running Android 13) lets me lock the time zone, so it won't change time based on location. I discovered that on a Western Caribbean cruise out of Galveston where the ship did NOT switch to local time. My watch (Garmin smartwatch) can get its time zone info from GPS or from my phone. Once I locked my phone's time zone, the watch honored that.

I had the DBP on Adventure two weeks ago. I thought a lot of the mixed drinks were on the weak side, not due to watered liquor, just a lot of mixer. That was OK. I needed the hydration and nutrition a mixer can provide, and was able to order as many as I liked. The one drink that seemed perfect was a Kraken and soda. I started ordering those as soon as the Solarium bar opened on a port day. Soon everyone else in the Solarium was ordering them.

The new Galveston terminal is fantastic
memebag replied to BB1's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I boarded Adventure a couple of weeks ago. The security screening (and everything else) was very fast. Maybe because it's a smaller boat, so fewer people using the terminal at the same time. I parked in the north lot, short walk to the terminal, porter asked for my bags, I asked if he worked here. Haha. Up an escalator, showed my ticket to someone, scanned my luggage, then walked onto the boat. They had a ton of staff working, probably more than they needed. -
Galveston travel time from IAH and downtown HOU
memebag replied to Va4fam's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
My advice is to use the Waze app. Tell it when you want to arrive and it will tell you when to leave. Just do it for next Sunday at 4pm to get a ballpark idea. -

I parked at the North Lot. It seems to be exclusive to the Royal terminal. Same for the neighboring lots. -

allure returns in 2026 All Things Galveston
memebag replied to Galveston Steve's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I left on the Adventure on 11/14 and came back on 11/19. Leaving was a breeze. Arriving had some bumps. It was raining when we the boat unloaded, and they make the passengers depart on the side of the terminal, not the front. The front is next to the north parking lot, where my car was, so I had to walk outside in the rain to get around to the front. People were huddled up against the building waiting on rides or something, making everyone who was walking go out in the puddles. The parking lot has arms for entrance and exit, and the rain made it so that the exit arms wouldn't open. I sat there watching the guy swipe his card 50 times with no success. He asked if I had my parking ticket (from when I arrived) because the QR code on it might open the gate. I said I didn't know, but if I did, it was in my trunk. Eventually I got out in the rain to dig through my backpack in the trunk, but didn't find the ticket. Eventually the gate arm just raised by itself. Traffic on the way in was light. Traffic on the way out was very slow.- 965 replies

Texas Hold'em Poker Tournaments
memebag replied to FoxboroCruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I just played in a Hold'em tournament on Adventure (11/18/2022), so I have recent info. $100 buy in, plus $50 to double your stack. Everyone doubled. Ten minute rounds. Blinds go up fast. An aggressive strategy is probably best. One table, ten seats. Sign up as soon as the casino will let you. Don't wait until the day of the tournament. We had one tournament on the first sea day. The second sea day had one scheduled, but some players complained a lot and they added another. Our tournament lasted about an hour and a half. First two places paid out. First place was $840. Not sure what second place was. -
I just got back. The MDR food quality was sub-par. The service was always top notch. I didn't look at any display food. The ship is aging, but aren't we all? My friends and I had a blast. We enjoyed the bars, the water slides, the Flowrider, the Solarium, and the card room. Also the bars. Blue Moon was my favorite. I loved the casino. I got to play in the poker tournament and came in first place. Paid for the cruise and the booze package. I came to love the Windjammer. Yes, it's a big buffet of institutional food. You have to seek out the bright spots. For me, those were the Chinese and Indian dishes. The comedy show might have been funny in 1993. The ice show was excellent. Shout out to Max.

Your friends wanted a new room because they saw a cockroach? Why not a whole new boat? This one is obviously ruined.

No helpful advice, but you have my sympathy. Health problems are the worst, and amplified when they are expensive. -

Aha! That was it, thank you! As a part time UI developer, that's a needlessly confusing design.

There is no order history in my cruise planner.
