Rose City Cruiser

That's high.  Did you have your credit card attached to multiple staterooms?

It has improved.  I would put it above frozen pizzas from the grocery store but below the large pizza chains.

Did anybody else just get a total full refund of their gold? 2million just showed up for us

Did you play MyVegas Lucky Life?  They recently discontinued that app and transferred points/coins to MyKonami.

Got some OBC on day 2 but it’s less than half of what was promised. We checked with Guest Services and it had showed up. 

Still trying to work with Kristina, casino host, on any casino credit. She took a copy of the emails that were sent to me with the full promised amount and said she is “still working on it.” We are on day 4 of the cruise...

Be prepared to now work with Club Royale Customer Outreach team post-cruise.  Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

I have unlimited paid leave, and they're pretty reasonable with letting you actually use it so long as your work gets done and it doesn't cause a big issue with coworkers helping out.  Not a bad perk.

My wife has similar paid leave benefits.  Right now, I get 20 days. 

I had reservations about the new Coco Cay being crowded with two ships there.  But that was not the case when I was there at the end of June.  They set up the food spaces similar to how Windjammer is with separate food stations instead of a single line which helps with crowds.  There's plenty of loungers around the Oasis Lagoon but go early to get the best spots.  Beaches were pretty much empty.   So you won't have a problem finding a good spot there. 

The website is wonky.  But I am confused as to why the RCCL rep did not assist or forward you to an agent in booking your 8 cabins when you called in about the website issues. 

Are charges pending against the grandfather?

I thought the glass are slightly tinted with a blue hue to it. 

At home, everything is organized.  Why not while travelling?  Makes it easier to search for a specific item.  Someone should make Tetris-shaped packing cubes.

Here's some info on The Key:

Of course, one of the few days I don;t check the boards....

Is there a way to receive notifications when keywords for thread subjects appear such as "sale", "glitch", etc?

I'm printing all of this out, tho we shall see if it actually works!  We board on Monday.

To save you time from the Guest Services line, go straight to the Casino Host.  Guest Services will just tell you Club Royale bookings is a separate dept.  Don't expect the credit to appear during your sailing.  I just received my credit and I got off the ship on June 29th.  Maybe they now have sorted everything out and are efficient in providing the credits.  Hope you enjoy your cruise!

As of Saturday, June 22, Navigator was the only ship scheduled to dock there on Wednesday, but lo and behold, Majesty was there when we arrived.   Oh, and many of the passengers on Majesty were NOT happy about it.).

We were on Majesty that day and loved Perfect Day at Coco Cay!  I was disappointed about not going to Cuba but excited to experience the new Coco Cay. 

There are three slides that have long lines.  Daredevil's Peak, Dueling Demons and Sling Shot.  The other slides have minimal to zero lines.  I was within 10 spots from the Daredevil's Peak when they had to shut down Coco Cay due to an incoming storm. I will have to try it in November.

This reminds of Cathay Pacific's pricing error on First class tickets to HKG last year.  They honoured the pricing.  Too bad I was not able to travel during those times.  It would have been great mileage run.

If you booked your cruise through MyVegas/Club Royale, contact Club Royale via wifi calling. Request them to contact the ship's guest services to confirm the onboard credit owed to you. If Club Royale tells you to speak to Guest Services first, tell them they told you to speak with them. The employees at Guest Services are trying their best but it seems like they don't have the directive from Royal HQ to give out thr promised OBC owed. It's unfortunate and disappointing. Hope this helps!

It's possible different satellites are used in Asia and internet service in some countries may be subject to government oversight different than in the West

Does this mean apps like Facebook and Facebook Messenger might not work on Spectrum of the Seas since it is not accessible in mainland China? 

For my June sailing, I booked it at $57 USD.  For my November sailing, I booked at $52USD.  It is hard to keep an eye on prices after booking because they disappear from the excursion list. 

There are TVs inside and outside the On Air club on Deck 5 Royal Promenade.  Keep in mind they use ESPN Caribbean which may not broadcast the games you would normally receive in North America.

after a hot day out and about, everyone downwind of me will know if I'm rewearing something from that day. 

That is what the free samples of cologne at the Duty Free is for!

On our sailing last year, they had complimentary mimosas and bloody mary for breakfast in the MDR on sea days.

And use the gender swap filter from Snapface as the profile pic. 

Be thankful that it is not like some crew washrooms where the shower and toilet are in the same pod.
