Anyone remember the story of the blind woman who had a random roommate who brought a squid on board and stored it in the shower?  Classic CC post!

Just by the picture it looks like a phone, smart watch and...What's that blue thing with the white square?

That's an Apple Watch with the Royal app running on it (or a mock up).

The menu is FILLED with lagers.  What they need are more IPAs, Pales, Porters and Stouts!

Maybe have a Ports section too?

Hmmm. Definitely gonna have to lower expectations. 

Don't lower expectations.  Go to Hilton Rose Hall instead.  Book it on resortforaday.com.

Hmmm, doesn't seem to be on their website anymore!  You can still book it through the hotel, though.

yeah...I don't book those types of rooms so I don't get those extra perks..hence why I was asking if they ever have cruise planner sales.

The perks are available for any type of cabin.  They're not particular to suites.

I love that picture, Brian.  He looks sooo excited !

It's one of my all time faves!  (He's a freshman in college now.)

Navigator 

I believe that's a NO then.  But it's similar with an assortment of Italian antipasto.

They have the GO BIG, GO BIGGER, GO BEST promotion which includes the drink package as one of the options.

Depends on the ship.  If the ship has Jamie's, it's essentially Jamie's appetizer menu.

We were seduced by the inclusion of alcohol and lunch for this one. This is for our cruise coming up in February. Did everyone love it? Did you hate it? Does the free wifi really work? What were your favorite things about it? Least favorite? Save me a red stripe!

I think the emotions range from hate to dislike.  Free wifi NEVER worked, even when I was in the entrance area.  Favorite: it was a good view.  Least favorite: too far, half of the staff was overworked, the other half didn't care, loungers weren't too comfortable, hard to get a drink, disorganized.  And I'm being polite here.

NO!

I would try to find an excursion on your own instead of the Royal excursion.  Might be a better experience.  

I think I've posted this before, but here's my son holding one the rays.

 If there's a dispute, does royal caribbean flag that account as non-payment?  

Probably only after it's been found in your favor.

If you booked through a travel agent will the Suite concierge still contact us directly I hope??

Yes.

If you were willing to be part of one of those flash mobs, they sometimes do them on this ship.  You can ask the CD staff if there will be one and you can ask for your proposal to be part of it.

I've seen videos of others doing this.

You definitely have a case against the SO.  This person essentially stole from you.

Dispute the charge on your credit card.

Probably still Jeremias and Cheker.

True, but your beer is better

Not true anymore.

I received my email 3 days before the cruise.

My daughter, who is prone to motion sickness, wore a sea band at the start of last cruise.  

A few days in she turned to us, her parents, and said, "this doesn't really work, it's all in my head, right?"

We looked at each other and then looked back to her and shrugged.  

She took it off and was fine the whole cruise.

So, shrug, if it works for you, GREAT!

Definitely NOT a kiddie ride.

Can anyone please confirm a boarding question I have?  Our original boarding time was 12PM. Then, due to a coast guard inspection, the window is 11 to 2.  Does that mean that all guests can arrive earlier and board whenever they want?

My goal is to be one of the first groups on- but we are non-suite and not high tier C&A. Need to board early and make a bee line for guest services to try and score a day bed, along with the escape room.  What is the earliest that we could realistically be expecting to board? 

Thank you, as always.

 

They don't actually enforce the boarding times anyway.  So show up when you like.

11 AM is about as early as you can expect, although I have been on ships by 10:45.

Evian was on the premium/deluxe package originally.  But now they're all the same.
