Geezer Of The Seas replied to Last2Know's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Cruisemapper is now showing Serenade heading north again......and hoofing it (26 mph)! -

Serenade OTS Delayed Sailing?
Geezer Of The Seas replied to Last2Know's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
As of 30 minutes ago, Cruisemapper show Serenade heading back toward Vancouver.........this morning it was sailing north. -
Except for drydocks, for something that has seen literally tens/hundreds of thousands or more passengers over the years, I'm impressed with the condition of every ship we have sailed over 3 cruise lines. Jewel of the Seas looked its age the most in the cabin wear and tear department, but over 6 cruises we've experienced 2 mechanical faux paxs, a plumbing leak that sent had water accumulating in the corridor down from our cabin on Jewel (within scant hours, never knew it happened), and a balky toilet on HAL Nieuw Amsterdam (remedied within 15 minutes of calling Guest Services). We're booked next April on Adventure. Mariner's 'sister', a bit different, but as long as we don't go dead in the water or to the bottom by the head, I'm good.

The natives are indeed restless................ But end of the day, will it matter? Every cruise line I've sailed has the same fine print regarding their rewards programs. 'We can do what we want if and when we want.' Even John Heald's post reads like he's under some level of duress discussing the customer response, like there's suits standing nearby with a kettle of boiling oil............. -

Judging by the #/frequency of e-mails I'm receiving from Royal, HAL, & MSC, plus now weekly calls from NCL to both of us, I sense the salad days of 2023-24 are coming to an end. RE: Carnival's Rewards 'retool'. I get a sense they're trying to slow the upward mobility to their top tiers; something I've seen discussed on this forum regarding overabundance of upper tier C & A passengers on some cruises resulting in less than satisfying experiences for some 'not quite there' yet? -
I was prescribed scopolamine patches 3 years ago. Asked my doctor about interactions /side effects with any of my prescribed meds , particularly Zolpidem (generic Ambien). Doc and the pharmacist that filled the Rx said there was potential for interactions with the Zolpidem. They weren't wrong........

RoyalUp Cabana -- I WON!
Geezer Of The Seas replied to TexanTwoStep's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
As an aside, did anyone read the article in CruiseHive reporting the Bahamian government is about to crackdown on cruise lines with private islands they suspect are stiffing them ? The suggestion is the Bahamian government is being underpaid on taxes for excursions, rentals, etc. that originate/happen on the islands. I was particularly amused by the example cited by the Bahamian prime minister, referring to record numbers of passenger visits to the subject islands, cabana rentals as high as $4K/day. Wonder who he was talking about....... -
Is this site acting up for anyone else?
Geezer Of The Seas replied to OCSC Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Been squirrely for weeks on our PC (windows/Chrome). Tried all the various voodoo to 'clear the digital palate, nothing. Most common issue, freezes/seizes when attempting to type a comment. I realize the proprietor of the site has to eat,but sometimes wonder if there's just too much stuff running on the pages. OTOH, viewing and typing this on my phone (nearly 5 y/o android), no problem at all, except I note android doesn't push out updates any longer, which is an obvious indication I should get (and Verizon is all but begging me ) to get a new phone. -
Safety briefing not confirming?
Geezer Of The Seas replied to RCIfan1912's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Not to worry. Your experience mirrored ours on Wonder. Mrs Geezer's card worked fine. Mine was a @#$*&%!. 5 scans from 5 different crew members. Nothing. They wound up doing a manual input into a laptop before I was officially checked in and "mustered'. Ain't technology grand....... -
Celebrity out of Galveston???
Geezer Of The Seas replied to steverk's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Margaritaville's short itineraries setting sail from Galveston would seem to fit their business model. Must be a underserved group of Parrotheads in the North central gulf. -

Geezer Of The Seas replied to steverk's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Read a story on Cruisehive today that Margaritaville at Sea is acquiring a third scow to smear lipstick on. Currently operated by Costa. The plan is to place it in service next year. Galveston would seem a logical homeport...... -
Enterprise it seems has changed their general rules of engagement over the last 2 years. Not for travel purposes, but I did a 7 day rental while our car was in the shop last year and the contract stated the car must be returned to the office it was rented from, even though there was an office closer to the dealership.

Utopia’s ridiculously LOUD sound levels
Geezer Of The Seas replied to Frogfather's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
4 cruises on 3 vessel classes with Royal. Our cabin selection rationale has never failed us. We're not fans of sail away parties, so we pre-purchase a bottle of wine and do our own sail away. Our single trip on Wonder I was frankly amazed how minimal the noise was at sail away once we were underway. Midship ocean facing balcony cabins with 2 deck separation from the pools rule......
