For the 4 usually a combination of pullamn beds from the ceiling and a pullout coach (at least whenever we've taken the kids). For the room 2 I haven't had a pullout sofa (depending on the room type they aren't over big)

This is one of those things I'll attend if I'm bored and have nothing better to do, but I won't go out of my way. I kind of put it on par with watching the maintenance guys paint the railings

We just booked adjoining rooms for us and our sons (they're in their 20's). Even though the reservations are in my kids name, I had to use my wife's birthday to link up the reservation as she was the one who did the booking. Maybe try the info (last name/birthday) of the person who did the booking

Here’s my advice. If you can name all the future cruises you have booked, you haven’t booked enough

I love this suggestion. I'm now going to go get one

At my age, sleep is far more important

I don't have an issue seeing level and points. Having said that their IT is somewhat wonky. Love that I had to cancel a cruise on the Harmony during covid. In the app it randomly shows up I have a cruise on the Harmony whereever the Harmony happens to be at the moment.

Our first cruise (on Disney) I remember they had the midnight buffet. Went to it grab a donut for the kids one night. Was amazed at how much people were eating that late at night. Our first Royal cruise on the explorer I remember had something setup on the pool deck on night. Wouldn't mind seeing something like that again

Done the shuttle a few times.For me it's hit and miss. The time we took it in PR they had two types of shuttle buses, one where you take your luggage with you, the is they have an moving truck/delivery van that your luggage goes on and you on the bus. We end up arriving at the airport and had to stand outside for around 20 minutes for this delivery van to show. They just dump the luggage off on the curb. It does contain multiple busses worth of luggage, so this van might arrive before you do. We didn't like being separated from the luggage, seemed to be very unsecure

There is website somebody posted back in the summer https://www.cruiseplum.com/ that allows you to search on suites. It'll give you an idea (it won't give you the suite cabin type i.e grand vs aquatheatre) but you have the ship and date which you can then look up

Done a few cruises out of Bayonne in August, can only remember once night being rough. Having said that first time we went on Oasis a hurricane was going through later that night in Fort Lauderdale, I told the guy at the security gate I was somewhat worried, his response was if you put the Oasis up against a hurricane the the Oasis will win. Even with rough seas, you probably won't feel it on Oasis/Wonder. Don't recall how often I used the pool on the cruises out of Bayonne. One thing with Bayonne is the parking lot is a little weird (if your in the outdoor lot). On cruises that depart/arrive on the weekend traffic isn't an issue. During the week it's congested. They're all good ships. We're doing the Wonder the week of Aug 20th

I'm somewhat confused as the timeline doesn't really jive. Some lady took your luggage, but had a late flight. one late enough that she and could come back and return your luggage to pick up hers. How would the pier agent know that? Did this lady call? If she did I'm assuming she wouldn't have done that until she got to the airport and noticed the wrong bag. Your flight was at 10 am (which is early and not recommended), you would have had to be one of the first off the ship to even make that flight (possibly even self assist). Why would somebody with a late flight get off the ship so early. My experience with Royal whenever I've flown is they prioritize those who have earlier flights with earlier disembarkation and those with later flights later disembarkation.

We booked through a travel agent, they just requested it when we did the booking and we got it. Pre Covid we didn’t have much luck, but have had no issue post Covid getting it

We had a table for 2 with traditional dining on our last cruise

I would think it should be fine. Our passports have the middle name displayed with the given name, but I just noticed my youngest son doesn't ever appear to have his middle name as part of previous reservations and has never had an issue.

If I remember correctly, last summer there was some drug cartel violence going on in one of the Mexican ports and the cruise lines just cancelled the stop. My experience is they won’t put you in the line of danger and play it cautious

Yep. Been on this site for maybe 8 months, been quite a few number of one a dones making accounts with somewhat outrageous claims. Not really sure what they booked for £15,000 (guess that would be around 18000 USD), but we just booked 3 balconies on various Oasis class ships this morning (Wonder and Symphony) and were less than 1/2 that.

We stayed in the front on first cruise. never again. Might be fine if you have perfectly clam seas, if not you'll get bounced around good.

As mentioned above, there are benefits to using a TA. In a more general note, I would never order anything over the phone for this exact reason (ok, maybe a pizza) unless I already had an established relationship. I either do it in person where I get an immediate receipt or via the web where I can screen shots

I find business aren't really up front about those thing, my first trip caught me off guard. Interestingly I took the family to Buffalo in earlier December and on checkin to a hotel was told I had to pay a security deposit (I'm now 50). Nothing mentioned when I booked and it was a hotel chain I stay at a lot and never had that before. Definitely wasn't happy. On a ship it's not like you can sneak off it at the end though. Looking at my last cruise contract they do mention security surcharges in the fine print, but they don't specifiy if/when they apply

I've always go in the at least the day before and stay withing 30 minutes of the terminal. Having said that I have kicked myself for not going in a few days earlier to explore the port

Never had it on any of my cruises, but then again I didn't start cruising until I was in my late 30's. I know when I was under 25 I'd get hit with those whenever I traveled, even for business.

Which town? Wainfleet? Crystal Beach? Thorold? Pelham?

My one son got a tour of the kitchen many years ago, I believe the chefs gave him one, have to check where he put it
