My wife has purchased jewelry a few times. My condition to her was if she wants something expensive, we'll buy it at the jewelry store near our house that has been in business for 70 years. If she wants something on the ship or island only spend money your willing to lose 

Never got an express boarding, however on our last 2 cruise from the time we got through security until walking up the ramp to the ship was only a few minutes. That's express enough for me

did it a month ago, had no issues. Usually submit a scanned pdf of our monthly statement. I usually go through email here shareholderbenefit@rccl.com

Maybe ask there and see if they provide a better answer

We noticed it on our cruise, thought it was something the previous guest did, guess not

Just got off the Symphony today. They are repositioning the ship to Miami. Crew only on the trip. They were pretty excited, waiter was saying they got use of the whole ship. Captain probably did it for crew appreciation 

Can’t really think of any cons. For pros on 2 rooms, as mentioned the extra bathroom and space. Also find that the AC recovers the room temp quicker with less people

We're on that cruise.

The op had no travel insurance, but even with travel insurance wouldn't have helped unless it was cancel for any reason. Maybe the op should answer why should Royal eat the cost? This late they won't be able to resell the room. My understanding the on any given cruise there are numerous people who end up not being able to make it, should Royal eat those costs as well? Start doing that and they wouldn't be in business that long.

Also as some have said, if you have an 18 year old business with 30 employees, there should somebody there who can take over for a week in these situations. 

I'd say if Haiti says you need one (looked at their website for a tourist visa), then it would be in your best interest to get one, otherwise run the risk of not being allowed on the ship. Better to be safe then sorry. Royal probably won't find out until they submit the manifest

For the most part I haven't noticed kids overly misbehaving (only time I can remember is our Oasis cruise). Part of this could be my introduction to cruising was on Disney (want to see misbehaving, that's the line). 

Not unreasonable, everybody on the ship is trying to do the same thing. On our cruise this weekend even though my wife was sitting beside me and doing it at the same time, I go 10:30, she got 11 (just because I was a second quicker getting to the screen). Other factors could play in the times are in relation to when the ship get into port that day and disembarks passengers. One cruise we were on they had to do a coast guard inspection (that pushed everything back a few hours)

Won’t bother me, but will probably annoy the wife. From a safety perspective it makes sense

I would imagine your not the first, can't see them taking it.

My wife mentioned this last night, not sure where she seen though

Never tried to order a whole one. However the last 2 cruises they could keep up with what they needed for the counter, let along making whole ones for people

On our Alaska cruise they had these things called beaver tails. Reminded me of elephant ears I use to get at my school fair. Fried dough with cinnamon and sugar. They were in the WJ on the last night.

That’s the basic one.

The two from Bahamas have the same timestamp, outside of 1 the Miami/Port Canaveral don't show any timestamps. One at Weston is the RCCL shipboard center

Google Chrome will prompt you if you log into a site and the password you use is on a data breach.  This is probably 2 different issues, try in an incognito window or a different browser.  Also use a password manager and generate strong and unique passwords for each site.

That could be it, forgot about that (disabled that on work computers as it became extremely annoying when developing software). Could be what the op meant. Might not necessarily be RCL, but if they reused the same password for many different systems (banking, amazon, etc) something might have been breached elsewhere. If that's the case then I would go through each place and change the password and as you mention all being unique

What do you mean you got message from google? and they told you to change your RCL password?

That seems fishy. Wouldn't be clicking on any links in the email. 

That would definitely cause some stress if you didn't know. I've heard of them doing this a few times now. This thread might be a good PSA for those ever going out of Bayonne in the future, that this might happen

Ours have always shown up pretty quick, usually within a few days of getting home

For the big production pieces you'd have to go on the bigger ships. It's been a while since I've been on Radiance class ship. From what I remember one night had a Billy Joel cover band, a couple nights comedy, other nights were in house shows (in house version of grease). Everything might not be on a the app well (i.e. love and marriage show, quest), you have to get those from the cruise compass.

Here a recently posted crusie compass for Serenade, that will give you more info https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compasses/serenade-of-the-seas/fri-09132024-0000

Were on the Symphony end of Oct. Wife and kid are going to see hairspray, kind of strange time slots they had. Two of the shows they sandwiched midpoint between the early and late dining (which doesn't really benefit either dining time, rushing between the theatre and the mdr).

The compensation offered is more than fair, reality is they don't have to offer any. Royal up is kind of like a guaranteed room, your gonna end up where you end up, possibly in a room nobody wants

If that's the room you want and your not interested in whats available on the Royal site I'd book it now through Costco. Even if it gets released back to Royal, might find by find by then the price will be more

As an outsider looking in, even if there is a strike, I can't see it being long. You guys have an election coming up.  Generally I don't see any government allowing this type of strike to last long and impacting the economy (especially when going into an election).
