Clear Laker

I was wondering about that as well. Will they do unplanned maintenance? Will they release the crew? It would be an interesting topic @Matt. Probably to early to know.

This is what we did as well. For most machines the cord that runs to the power adapter is the same as a TV cord.

It has been our experience that if you redeem online you get the credit applied a few weeks before you sail. We have found that if you call them they will apply onboard credit within a few days of when you call. They explained to me once they wait because if you cancel your cruise it is hard to refund your onboard credit back. The onboard credit awarded by the card is the same as cash, so if you do not use it all it will be refunded to you in cash as the end of the cruise.

Young adults are allowed in bars etc. You can tell by their Seapass card that they are 18-20. They are not allowed in the teen clubs.

Late to your post. We have been on both ships … basically the same ship. Galveston is a cool town and there is a lot of things to do between Houston and Galveston. As you normally fly from Detroit. I would suggest flying Southwest (HOU). You will save a lot on airfare vs. IAH. Hobby Airport is much closer to Galveston. As Twangster pointed out you can stay at the Airport and take the Shuttle out the day of or there a good options in-between (shopping or space center) or you can proceed and stay at the Island. You will find you will have a strong Midwestern and Tx crowd. But just like middle Canada we tend to be more fun and easy going. So saving on flights + cruise fare + good people makes up for the 1 hour commute from the airport to the port. Best of luck.

We usually go to Guest Services the night before departure and cash out our refundable credit before the lines get long. Then whatever incendentials we have gets charged to our credit card on file.

Confirmed. Great Choice.

This might work to your advantage if one of the adults wants the drink package. As you are not required to buy packages for all in the cabin for minors. So say hubby wants package and you don't … He can purchase it and the son doesn't have to buy anything.

See above. Welcome to the boards

Southwest

Ditto for Us

@hsweat22 this is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYBLNA6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It was $11

It is true. They are behind the bed ... ask the room attendant.

Liberty - No. Only Oasis and Quantum Class ships

Since the banning of extension cords and power bars and with the hope of avoiding one of Royal's '25 Orange Extension Cords I have done the following: - For my CPAP I bought a 15' cord to replace the standard 6' cord that goes from the outlet to the power transformer block . You can buy them on Amazon as they are the same cords used for TVs and some computers. - I bought a 220v plug adapter with USB ports. This allow for an additional plug at the desk for dual voltage devices as well as 2 spots for charging phone, tablets etc. - Lastly, I went to the hardware store and bought an old fashioned 1 to 3 square block 110v adapter. These days as most things are USB powered … having 5 standard outlets and 2 USB outlets is all we need. Total investment was less than $20.

Us too. Got a great price on a huge suite with discount parking at the port. Had good beach and pool. Free parking.

The price they are displaying to you in the Cruise Planner already reflects the 50% off.

A PNR # is a 6 digit A/N code that is used to identify you, from purchase to you boarding in all of the airline systems. It goes back to the days when Travel Agents booked tickets for you. The problem with reservation #s it is usually unique to the organization who sold you the ticket. i.e. Air2Sea, Priceline or the specific airline. The PNR code as it is known, is what is unique to you with each airline with all of that airline's systems. As stated, some airline's systems allow you to use multiple ways to look up your reservations (name, reservation #, PNR code) ... some don't. The PNR Code is the industry standard for all airlines.

For FWIW, you can call the RC Visa Cruise Credit Department and ask for you onboard credit to be applied to your cruise account earlier than 14 days prior to departure. It helps with making Cruise Planner purchases earlier during sales. The reason they wait in posting is that if for some reason you had to cancel your cruise, you lose your Onboard Credit as BOA considers it a non-refundable gift certificate. You have to work with RC to get it applied to another cruise. In the old days you didn't get the credit until the second day of the cruise.

Wine Skins from Amazon. They are a combo of bubble wrap and a sealable heavy duty ziplock. As we have to fly we use them in suitcase then pull them out and put in string bags for carrying to ship. On one cruise we encountered a couple who had a wine bottle break during a flight all over their clothes.

A booking # (PNR Code) is generated when your flight is paid for. When we have booked with Air2Sea we did it through our Travel Agent. She provided us the PNR code. We then went directly to Delta and selected seas and entered our SkyMiles #. How did you book your flight? If nothing else contact Air2Sea and they should be able to provide you the booking #. Are you sure it is not on your receipt?

The glass is tinted like car window tint. You will not be full on sun, but if you have fair skin or plan on a long visit I would recommend sunscreen.
