    Sure it is. All the many entities that require your photo and ss number you and others have listed. It's all already out there. And something like a photo to be on a cruise is yet another example. If you don't allow these things, you aren't living. You are hiding from life in a sea of what if fears.

    Man, this was such a great show.  Person of Interest

     
    Sorry, this doesn't help you one bit.  I will say that I trust Royal more than I do the government.

    So, I'm amazed I haven't seen anything on the blogs regarding this incident.
    A Charleston man with dementia got separated from his family in Cozumel last Wednesday
    and still hasn't been found.  His family (daughter, primarily) is afraid that he may be hurt and
    without aid.

    The good news is that if you stay in the hot tub long enough on the ship, your fingers will be too pruned to be able to use for biometrics.

    Oh yes.  Very sad.  But either way, I hope the family finds closure.
    I sure hope and pray for the best.

    Floski got a reaction from Al Miller in Royal Caribbean Pricing   
    I've been trying to talk myself into another late Feb cruise next year, but I just can't justify the ridiculous prices.
    Then, when you add in all the other stuff you have to pay for (don't think the local hotels aren't aware), it's jut too high.
    And we just turned Diamond on our Wonder cruise last month.  I may never see those benefits.
     
    Maybe it's time for us to take that trip back to Germany that we've wanted.

    I was shocked at the cost for sailing on Enchantment.  I have friends who are sailing on her 6-22-24 and I thought about going along but 7 nights on that crap ship was over $5K (JS) !  ...even more once you added in grats.  No f'ing way !

    Not at all! I am taking a step back- I was planning on leaving entirely but have since changed my mind somewhat. I'm still here, I just haven't had a chance to tell some folks I am sticking around.

    I can empathize with the OP.
    I'm an easy cruiser, as we only go about once a year and between this board and a lot of RC Facebook pages, I can keep up 
    with most any of the specials or discounts.  I'm sure my TA is crazy busy, and no, I can email her and not hear anything until 
    the next day or even 2 days, but that's usually because I let her know if it's hot or not.
    I had 2 MEI TAs that I just didn't mix well with; this doesn't mean they're not great TAs, as MEI is nothing but a first-rate company,
    it just means we didn't gel.   Then I found Beth and am super happy with her.  She never rushes me when we're talking on the phone,
    even though I know she has LOTS of folks to care for.
    I just recommend that you ask for another agent.  It's up to you, but when the doodoo hits the fan and you've been on the phone with
    Royal for a few hours, you may regret not having one.
     
    P.S. - If you aren't already, I highly suggest joining the Royal Caribbean Blog Insiders.  It's a small investment, and not only do you learn
    from lots of genuine, friendly, and seasoned cruisers, but you have access to some awesome Insider info.  If you're super lucky, 
    you may someday get to cruise with Tony Diaz (well, except on the **** of the Seas!).  😆

    I'm so glad we were able to clear this up for you! Your agent has been responding throughout the weekend, just with another member of your party. All changes had been made by the time you posted, so the information must have just crossed! 🙂
    Thank you for using MEI-Travel for your travel needs!

    Hi @andrew_amy,
    I am very happy to help you find the right fit.   The perfect advisor for another guest may be precisely the opposite of what you need.  When you send in a request we do our best to match you but in the case of a transfer, we don't have a lot of info to go on,  so it may take a conversation to get to know you, your needs, and your preferred communication style to match you perfectly. 
    Some clients only want emails, and others want only phone calls.  Some don't want to hear from an advisor unless there is a price drop, while others desire more info. And sometimes it's a training issue we need to work through.
    Please email me directly at [email protected] with your contact info and I will have my Client Relationship manager contact you and we can address any issues.  

    This is open to any of you who have run into issues.  Unfortunately, I am unable to address them if Im not aware,  so I truly appreciate your time to help us, help you.  Our biggest priority is our relationship with you!  And please tell others to contact me directly if there are issues in the future so I may address them.  (Thanks @Xaa ) 

    Please forgive me for any delays. I am currently traveling in Italy but will get any feedback to my team asap. 
    Thank you!

    Just saying a quick hello here, first time in about four years. I just booked the 12-night Odyssey sailing in Jan 2025, which is an itinerary I've been wanting to do kind of since I first started sailing with Royal in 2018 and learned about it. Seemed like a nice way to celebrate turning 55. 🙂
    To everyone I haven't spoken with in all these years, hope you've been well!

    On the RCB group cruise on Wonder in Dec '22, we did a bar crawl and I'm 98 3/4% sure that the Irish Car Bomb annhilated me.  I can drink my liquor, but mixing with a beer, even a Guinness, is just a bad idea.
    Gimme a dozen Patron shots instead!!!
