Good. Hope Royal Caribbean took hard and fast action. It's a shared experience. Play by the rules or be gone.

Just wish Royal would do the same thing, or worse, to the lounge chair hogs by the pools!

I recentley booked an RCL cruise aboard the Radiance of ther Seas with a land tour for July. When I go into my account I only see the cruise portion and no land p[ortion, am I not looking in the right spot?

Interesting. We did the land and sea on the Radiance last year and the land excursions were available in our cruise planner. But we did book the trip in 2023. It may be a thing that Royal hasn't confirmed the land excursions for your trip yet. Perhaps a call to Royal might confirm this. 

Caught a great sale yesterday that made this cruise a no brainer to jump on. Just wish I could have convinced my darling wife to book the Western Caribbean the week before in the same cabin, oh well. She'll learn the hard way that you can't fully enjoy this ship in one week! For me, the ship is the destination this cruise. Please don't ask me about the itinerary, my answer will "The Icon!"

Well, here in NC the eclipse was not so much. Temperature dropped, shadows got long, birds were quiet and there was a run on the grocery store. They ran out of bread, eggs and beer. Kind of like what happens when a hurricane is coming. Today folks are asking, where are the day after eclipse sales? Amazing how mother nature messes with folks! 

Interesting, in the past B2Bs we have been on there was no offer for a B2B group lunch in the MDR. We always book lunch in Chops after we get back on board as a "new cruiser". The price is right, no big crowds and the food is great. I agree with what barjoe said above about "it may depend on the number of B2Bers there are". 

Will be on the Explorer OTS this coming July. We will be embarking and disembarking out of Ravenna, Italy visiting four of the Greek islands with two cruise days. Will they be offering Greek food in the MDR and Windjammer in addition to the normal fare? Efcharisto'!

I'm sure that what we see here is similar to the popularity that Tina Fey enjoys. She has had to hire body doubles to cover her multiple commitments. 

Great, thank you very much for your info and quick reply!

Our cruise ship (Explorer OTS) gets into the Athens port on July 18th at 7:00 am. What time can we get off the ship for an excursion on our own? Thanks.

Golf is life!

That middle time will be filled up in nothing flat when booking opens by those who opt for fixed dining and like to eat at a reasonable time (that would be us - 5:00 is way too early and 8:00 is way too late).

Agreed!

What ports would this cruise ship visit? How is the captain & crew suppose to see the port and starboard side of the ship from that nivigation deck? Impossible logistic support. 

Stick to what Royal has, this ship is ridiculous. 

Does anyone here know if Giovanni's offers a gluten free lunch menu/option on the Explorer  OTS? Grazia! 

Now now boys and girls, some of you are in violation of rule #2 on Matt's post "Don't Do Any of These Things" regarding the OP post. Gotts to be nice or you will have to walk the plank!

As we get older, we have to think positive. Just the other day I fell down a flight of stairs. Instead of getting up I just sat there and thought, that<s the fastest I have moved in years! 

I doubt liquor is the answer. But it's worth a shot.

What do you call children born in a brothel? Brothel sprouts.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
