They make it sound like it is your fault.  Odd wording...lol

It should just say “you’ve known for months the higher suites are sold out, so what did you think was going to happen”

It sort of is... YOU didn't bid high enough 

OK @Sweety, you don't see the RC Blog group going to Chicago for pizza, now do you? Yeah, I said it!??
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

He is only free if he eats off the kids menu.. If he wants regular menu they will charge you. 

We are sailing on Enchantment on August 28th. What I like least About cruising is very early afternoon on embarkation day when  everyone is jammed into the Windjammeir. to circumvent this I went ahead and pre-purchased lunch at Chops.  We have an active 18 month old who will be on his third cruise (Alaska, Bahamas & now Mexico) and eats like gangbusters.
Question!!!   What are his option for what RC consider No Charge for under age 3.
 
THX

That's very odd.  I printed my son's for our Aug 28th cruise and he's 18 months old :/ no issue.  Even uploaded a picture of home.
 

I need knee replacement on my left knee and I will still take the stairs for up to 3 flights.

That site is amazing! Forget the cruise, I can see several things I could use for home and work there! Thank you!

I drag mine home and run them across a flat bed scanner, I'm old school like that ?
Speaking of...i've got my Allure to do. ?

I was thinking Mai Tia too before I saw the pic...100% Mai Tia.

It's funny you say that about Evian. We had two people with CPAP machines in a Royal Family Suite in Feb. They gave us a 12 count case of the large Liter size Evian water for free for use in the CPAPs. On Amazon that is worth $60.00!!

Another option is to carry the cover from your travel companions' room service continental up to Windjammer - if you use that cover on your first plate, the second plate has a nice flat surface to sit upon for ease of carrying. The stacking possibilities are only limited by your ability to hold a pile steady.

Not bad at all today.
Driveway to gate: 1hr 15min ?

I book a King Suite at the Downtown Hilton ($159.00ish) they have a view of the port with floor to ceiling windows!

Also, buy an inexpensive 'umbrella stroller'. Traditional big/3 wheel strollers are way to big to navigate the venues and hallways on the ship. More of a headache. 

That's @Matt's WWE wrestling name, correct??

You can download the app and look up to see what the fare will be. If you look it up around the time you would be traveling to the port you can gat a more accurate estimate since the fares change based on demand.

yes, that is one jam packed terminal as far as vehicles. Walking is better, but we had 3 Suitcases, 3 carry-ons and a 9 month old to drag along.

Hey Joe,
 
Quick answers from a guy that does everything the least expensive way.
1.  no need to tuxes or even suits...unless you wait nice formal picture (amazing photo opportunities everywhere...Christmas car time is coming)  khakis and polo or dress shirt is fine
2. Yes..similar at curbside check in at airport. pull up to where the drop off is, pop trunk, hail a porter (Typically have bright yellow or orange work vest or white shirt) he'll grab bags, tip his $5 and off you go. 
3.Drink pkg. includes tip. I rarely tip extra
4.I rarely tip extra.  but Room Stewart will get an extra five bucks a day with one standard cabin.
5. Let the Mrs. know she has the biggest living room anywhere.  she can go practically anywhere on board at anytime. if she wants to go for a walk at 2AM to the pool deck she's allowed. Adventure is a huge ship!!
6. No Floral shirt needed. You will no be ostracized or mocked for being normal
7. Solarium pool is 16 and older.  Your 12 yr old, and others will not be anywhere near you are once y'all see the kids events scheduled for them onboard. just tell them what time to meet to get ready for dinner and let em go.
8. You can be fine without the paying for magnets. the only ones I bring are the ones I won, yet rarely use them. Plus they are heavy, and you need every pound of space so not to go over 50lbs at the airport.  Some ships have that shower 'string' for swimsuits, and you lived this long without magnets is my opinion.
Royal up.  don't expect anything from that...the consensus on here is no one hears about upgrades anymore.
I find that a lot of companies are too busy tending to the forest to see that there are trees everywhere.  Basically they are to entrenched in the day to day to realize that new comers board there ships everyday and  newcomers have tons of questions.  After 25 cruises I have issues finding answers to certain things. @Matt's blog is the greatest resource form any cruiser.
 
 
 

Statue of Liberty is only accessed though Liberty State Park on the Jersey side of the Hudson River. https://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/liberty.html . Kinda near the Bayonne port
As far a heading into NYC. grab a bus to take you to the Port Authority bus terminal on 41st Street. It is a few blocks from Time sq, the theater district, Rockefeller Center and Central park starts at 59th St. Don't be afraid to take the subway to the World Trade Center. It's no big deal.  @Matt grew up in the are too and may have more insight to offer.
