All I know is that when I'm on the pool deck, they make me walk on one side and everyone else on the other.  Something about "balance" or some such.

One of my grandsons is like this.  Rail thin only 50 lbs or so at 10 years old.  But he can eat his weight in sushi!!  

Just got the email we were upgraded to the CL a few minutes after my phone got a notification that Royal made a charge on my Amex!  🎊🍾🥳🎉
 

Thank you ALL soo much for the help.  I used Matts advise. reserved our drinks at $56/day/person AND TODAY, 23 days to go, it dropped to 30%off and I cancelled the order and bought for $52/day/person.
And on a side note, Mary and I will be married on 2/22/22, in Cozumel MX and will be swimming with the dolphins.  We had custom made Life Jackets, hers in white with a veil attached, and mine is black with Tux Tails attached to the back and a bow tie..   Should have some fantastic photos.
Thank you again.
John and Mary

Thank you but I would like my brother to come on the cruise.  I would prefer he didn’t fail.

For internet and some shore stuff the sale that started today seems to have been the best in a long while.  Got a dive that was stuck at 125.99 for nearly 6 months and had dropped to 115.99 last week dropped to 102.99 today.  Internet is still running higher but my girlfriend wanted to be able to text and talk to her son every day so we splurged a little for 2 device surf and stream and that was at one of the best prices I have seen.  
 
I know it's hit and miss sometimes though.  It's why it's worthwhile to track prices when new sales pop up to see what a good price range is vs a bad price range.  I have seen more than a few things go way up during a sale and then drop afterwards.  It's just like everything else in life, you have to be smart about the purchases you make and ready to see if something better pops up.

Amazing how “sale” price is more

Same experience.  Literally took me 5 minutes. 👍🏼

Bingo! Did the trick. Thanks for the info!

Correct. They added mine while I was on the phone.  Call 888-305-4626

Amazing how “sale” price is more

Yup. This particular excursion went up from  $124 to $198. If that's not a bargain I don't know what is! 😬

The only issue I'm having with cruise planner today is that their new sale stinks for a certain cruise.

Not a cruise planner sale, but I love when they drop the price for effectively a guaranteed ocean view balcony cabin for less than half of what it costs to choose your own cabin! I was checking to see if my cabin was cheaper, but it's actually higher now.

Could he just write in the information from his 2nd shot on to the physical card he got for the booster? I forgot my card when I got the booster, so they gave me a new card and put the booster info on the 3rd line, so in theory I could have re-written the info from the 1st two shots. (in actuality I copied the booster info to the original card since that was less writing)

Our cruise in November had vaccinated guest on deck 3 and unvaccinated on deck 4. That was on Independence. 

The percentages mean absolutely nothing, though. Just go by the bottom line price per day.

Checked in last night at 12:05am EST for my March 13 cruise. Skipped everything else & just grabbed arrival times for everyone.  Did the rest after coffee this morning 

The refund has taken 30 days for us before but any OBC used was immediately available online. 

I've been keeping an eye on this thread. It has stayed civil and relevant to Royal Caribbean and cruising up to this point. 

Floridians are not allowed to have opinions on what is considered "cold" in winter 😀

This thread needs its title changed to ColdCold Cay

We did not have to wear our mask on our November cruise when taking photos. 

Hi Everyone! I just got off a 7 night cruise on Harmony of the Seas. Being an avid cruiser and watching extensive Royal Caribbean Blog YouTube videos, I thought I was a professional but there were a few interesting things I learned on my cruise this past week. First thing, since we weren't able to book entertainment prior to the cruise I was nervous that shows would be sold out before I even had the chance to get on board. I learned that as long as you are connected to the cruise WIFI you can book the entertainment. With that being said, while we waited for our group to be called to board, we booked all of our entertainment BEFORE we even got on the ship. Second thing, if you are planning to drink beer but not purchase the alcohol package, I recommend purchasing the bucket of beer, compared to the price of regular beers, you are getting 1 beer for free! A crew member told us you could use your Crown and Anchor 50% off a beer coupon for the buckets and he let us redeem it but when we tried again later, with a different crew member, they said that was not a valid option. I forget the gentleman's' name but hey, it doesn't hurt to try. Third thing, if you are planning to do the stand up flowrider, don't wait until the end of your cruise. On my sailing, they gave newbies 2 tries per day to try and stand up longer than 1 minute. They made this rule so people #1 wouldn't be getting hurt and #2 not be wasting everyone else's time by constantly getting back in line to be struggling all day. They also told me that they do flowrider lessons to learn how to stand up. Once you achieve the longer than 1 minute ride, they give you a bracelet that lets you ride the rest of the cruise with no problem or quotas to hit. 
Not a tip, but a cool thing we were able to witness, in order to reduce the COVID positive percentage on the ship, they would transport our COVID positive crew off of the ships when we got to port. For example, we were initially told we wouldn't be going to St. Thomas because of our COVID numbers, then a bunch of crew were taken in tenders to Rhapsody when we were docked in St. Marteen and new crew came on, leaving us under the 1%, allowing us to go to St. Thomas, woohoo!
I hope this helps anyone going on a cruise in the coming days/months/years. I would be happy to answer any questions y'all may have in regards to cruising last week.

It's funny - when my mom and I were debating our next cruise, St.  Maarten was a stop at one of the itineraries we were looking at and the Next Cruise agent just kept talking about how you can watch the planes take off and land.
And I just politely nodded like "okay lady, I've been to an airport before."
I had no idea until I saw an unrelated video that they passed THIS crazy close. There is certainly a thrill to it though I think the noise would drive me away fairly quickly, it does seem like a cool thing experience at least once.
