Only Royal IT can mess something up like this. Wondering if they've done something like changed the password policy (i.e. you need to have a special character in it), but don't want to code something that lets you login with old one and takes you to the change password page.

Hopefully I'll still be alive at age 79 for this one.

My house was in the path of totality for 4/8/24, but it was completely overcast. 

We were in the path of totality as well. Cloudy up to maybe 10 minutes before totality when the clouds started to break up. Had a big blue patch of open skies go over our house starting a minute before totality. We got lucky

I've had to get a safe unlocked twice, once my wife typed in our wrong code on locking it and forgot what she typed in, the second time previous passenger left it locked. In both cases it required an officer to come down and unlocked. In the case of the previous passenger leaving it locked, it was the housekeeper waiting at our room saying she's waiting for the officer to come and unlock the safe, both cases the housekeeper had no ability to do it

I like it, hopefully they keep it up. I'd be willing to give these staff a tip when I see them

When we got one I think they just assign you one, didn't get to choose

Good to hear. Remember our first few royal cruises they had the T-shirt and the walk. One of charities I give to off my pay. Looking forward to it again

IOn our case the ones who were quarantined got FCC, the others didn't but enjoyed the ship

I’ve always brought chocolate onboard, never had an issue

We got the daybed on our last cruise. They just assigned it to us from what I remember

At Port Everglades they have a park 'n go right outside the gate to the cruise port. Seems to allow you to book for whatever length you want. 

We snagged a JS that overall was cheaper than the balcony last week. The JS was 50 more in price than the balconies but came with 750 OBC

Just bought a few Montecristo #4 and Romeo Y Julieta #2. Was hoping it would be warm out this weekend. Youngest son’s 22 bday. Was looking forward to sitting in the back yard, fire pit on, cigar and a glass off Dalmore. Too bad it rained/snowed

If it comes back to you, try to come back here!  Our next couple cruises are fine but it’s fall of 2025 when I’ll have a single kid.  They grow up too fast.  

I had to go back an watch some of his video's   Found one he did on the Wonder of the Seas where the owners suite has replaced the curtains with a pocket door (not sure if that was the one I thinking of though)

I remember watching one of Harr travel video's and seeing a one bedrooms with door. Rremember him talking about it being a curtain door on previous ships being changed to real door on that ship and give extra privacy from those staying on the sofa. I just don't remember which ship(s). 

I tend to go early in the morning. maybe 6ish, before sunrise. Not many people on the track at that time and I usually find as the week goes on there are less and less. Like watching the sun rise. In the Caribbean it's amazing how fast it heats up once the sun rises. I found being windy was hit and miss. Some days it's not walkable, other days are fine

We do the earlier one for more evening time. Also don’t want to go to bed too full

I love them all equally

Jamaica has always had warnings. Went there on our honeymoon many years ago and noticed the soldiers patrolling outside the resort. Talking to the resort driver about it he  basically said it's know not to mess with the tourists because if you do and the soldiers get you the rest of your life won't be pleasant. As long as you stay to the tourist areas it should fine

Distance wise it isn’t too far, time wise not so close. Plenty of hotels around the airport, but it would be a bit of time to cover the distance. We’ve stayed in Jersey city a few times and visited Manhattan. You can take a ferry across, more relaxing.

We bought those, definitely worth it

Not sure the right hand knows what the left hand is doing with Royal sometimes. Never had a switch like that, but on one cruise the earlier dining was suppose to 5pm (stated when we booked and reflected in our papers). Once on board the sea pass card had it as 5:30pm. Ok no biggie. Go down the first night and the MDR manager was in a panic because only a handful of people had shown up for the whole MDR. Apparently Royal changed the early dining time to 5:30 (reflected on the seas pass card), but didn't bother to tell MDR or kitchen they switch it who were preparing everything to 5pm. Lets just say the first night the food was a little off

I've never gotten this incarnation on the drink package. I think I got the beer package once long ago when they had it. For us the price is not worth it given what we spend a la carte, would rather just save the money and go on another cruise or upgrade to a suite

Depends on what you mean by "best". Ourselves we wanted someone we wanted somehow who provides great service who we can trust. Might not get as many "perks" but they know what we want and offer helpful suggestions

From my experience, outside of shows, everything you can book shows up immediately (excursions, drink packages, dining etc)

If I was Royal I'd look over if any of these tik tokers causing drama broke any rules and if so I'd give them exclusive opportunity to do the remaining tik tok's from the brig. They can tik tok how they've been given access to part of the ship that pinnacle members don't
