    AT&T allows for free calling and texting in Mexico and Canada. Note: Roatan is in Honduras, so be sure to have your phone in Airplane mode when visiting that port.

    As mentioned in this thread, be sure to use Wi-Fi calling while on the ship.

    If you have AT&T Unlimited Premium or Unlimited Elite you have call, text and data in 19 Latin American countries. No problems in Roatan on our last cruise.

    Solarium Bistro has been overwhelmed all this week on OA.  We prefer it to the WJ but have been unable to find a table most of the mornings we’ve tried to eat there.

    It was busy on our cruise last month as well. We were always able to grab a table though. Couldn't believe the amount of young children in there. The age rule apparently doesn't apply to the bistro.

  3. Used to live on the St Lawrence river in New York. Canada started enforcing a rule about fishing in their waters accompanied by large fines. I thought a war was going to break out over it with all the uproar. Also Canadians had issues with clearing immigration when traveling on boats "because I've been going back and forth all my life". The fishing thing may have been a response to this.

    Princess have updated almost all their ships to Active RFID Tech. You unlock your door only getting closer to it with your medallion, they also added a little screen that welcomes you.

     

    Door (and almost all) tech on Royal seems to be stucked in the XX century. 

    Sailed on Oasis last month and wondered why they didn't have a system like this. We really like that on Princess and my wife missed being able to order a cup of tea and some food from wherever we were sitting on the ship.

    So....not a price drop per se but close enough I HAD to revive this!

    So...last night we booked a JS on Harmony for 8/5. It was relatively last minute/spontaneous as we had only discussed it for half a day before pulling the trigger.

    This morning I log in to start my normal price drop check and see that the room is now almost $400 more!

    Talk about by the skin of our teeth!

    Just booked a TA on Explorer for 4/23. GTY balcony for 1099. Next day it was at 1250. Pick your own cabin was 1400 more. Timing matters

  6. I've done two cruises out of Seattle and I wouldn't book before 11:30 to be safe. It takes about 20 - 30 minutes to drive back to the airport. Last trip we were held up at a draw bridge for close to 20 minutes. Several people were sweating making their flights. I don't need that stress. Take advantage of the Port Valet service offered by the Port of Seattle. You check your bags through to your final destination straight from the ship. Biggest advantage is no over weight bag fees.
