I remember this story. Was a big thing and the COVID happened. Totally forgot about it until you brought it up.

While I admit the cabin looks wonderful and I too hope to one day enjoy a grand suite - for the life of me I never understood the designer who thought it was a good idea to put the closet in the kitchen....

interesting. Thanks. What about Northeast to Bahamas itinerary. Are the ships that far out for it not to be viable?

If you're asking if it's worth it money wise then you probably don't have unlimited income. For $3,000 you can get another cruise OR pay for the ultimate dining package + drink package + voom and still come out ahead. It's really up to you.

Long story short, any news on Starlink launching on RCCL fleetwide - and is it still used on the Freedom? Inquiring minds want to know

The Indy and Mariner have some 5 night sailings within that budget ($1,200 for two people) in an interior if you're happy with a 4 night - the Allure also has some that fit the bill. The Indy also has the same price for balcony on 4 night itineraries. I'm sure you can do a search with your preferred dates and find some good options that are on newer/bigger ships than Grandeur.

Black Friday always seems to have the best deals. Snagged unlimited digital and photo prints for $99! We were taking A LOT of photos!

Was absolutely the best cruise ever! feel better all that tested positive hope it's a very mild case. Almost happy we were all covid positive in early July - didn't worry as much on this sailing or the pre testing.

Might be cheaper to Uber.

Thank you!

Yes, I was just looking at the menu and was wondering if I can order an appetizer and a main or a main and a dessert and enjoy it on the balcony without having to sit through dinner.

Yes that was my understanding as well.

Anyone know if I can go to MDR my time and instead of being seated I can place an order to take to the cabin? I know suites can just have it delivered - asking for the other cabin categories. Thanks!

Thanks! I read elsewhere that someone had their cruise shortened being the last cruise before dry dock. I think I'll skip it this time since it would require a flight and I hate last minute changes if I can avoid them.

Interesting, never thought of this. I was eyeing the 1/21 sailing not realizing the Explorer is due for a dry dock right after. Any other benefits/shortcomings you can think of sailing right before drydock (other than not being on the newly freshened up ship of course).
