  1. I didn't get one on our first cruise on Oasis.... now I'm looking up at four models, too. And I'm wondering if I really need to get one for each ship, or just each class....
  2. We chose the Symphony option and will join you on this cruise! We did a similar cruise on Anthem in 2022 and like it a lot. Though I'm glad this one doesn't stop in Port Canaveral. This should be a very good Mother's Day!!
  3. I think we were originally booked on that trans Atlantic with you, but we had to give in to some realities and postpone the TA dream for later. But now I'm thinking this cruise or a 5 night on Liberty to Bermuda. A Mother's Day cruise sounds especially appealing!
  4. That's my hope, too. But then I ask myself "What's more likely?"
  5. I wonder what happened to the slot machines in the casino . . .
  6. Sadly, life events haven't quite lined up as we planned; we had to cancel our booking on this cruise. Maybe 2026, or 2027.....
  7. Best analysis / rundown is from "What is going on with shipping" on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qZbUXewlQDk?si=BF2d3pgIghbyE5zT
  8. This is tragic. The first video I saw clearly showed the ship losing electrical power twice. But it looked to me like she was already not in the channel. I suspect the cascade of events goes back before the power outages seen on the bridge webcam. It's a nightmare scenario for everyone involved. There will likely be pressure to clear the debris and open the channel as quickly as possible. I hope they don't do that until they've recovered every person possible. Their families deserve that.
  9. NICE! Maybe I'll see you on embarkation day (Yeah, no..... ) We haven't done a B2B cruise... yet. Might have to look at the Feb 1 sailing!
  10. My wife and I booked this cruise today. Who's ready to spend Valentine's Day on Coco Cay?
  11. We did the gold star service in 2022. It was utterly fabulous. The rear of the car had an observation area that was open to the outside air. The views were fantastic and we met some interesting people. The staff on the train were informative in a very friendly way. There's a service called Orange Bike Delivery in Seward. They can take your bags from the cruise port to the train. It's a family run business that took very good care of us (and our mountain of baggage!) The hauled our stuff from the port to a hotel we spent the night at, then picked up from the hotel and delivered to the train station. https://www.orangebikedelivery.com/luggage.html
  12. I'm certain Royal wouldn't stop if they thought there was a hint of an issue. But this is *your* vacation. If you don't feel comfortable, stay on the ship and enjoy a "crowd free" experience! Vacations are about reducing stress and anxiety!!
  13. I hope you can enjoy your cruise vacation on Icon - and have a swift and uneventful treatment and recovery!!
