Rose City Cruiser

There was lobster when we went on 5 Night Havana Empress in June 2018.

Seattle's Best at Café Promenade. The Illy at Windjammer Buffet bar on Navigator.

It is a bummer the BOGO dining pkg is no longer available. You never know, they may put it back on if sales of the new Chops + 1 is not generating as much revenue as they predicted. The 3-Night dining pkg looks much more attractive. Maybe that was their intention. What I have learned from this blog is to grab it while it's hot! You can refund it if you change your mind or a lower price from a different promo.

Wants the range of the Voom wifi on Coco Cay? Is it limited to certain areas?

Next RCBLog Group cruise?

Maybe Australia and Asia (Tokyo/Singapore)? Where is the new RCCL private destination going to be? Odyssey could showcase that destination? Who knows?

You will need to purchase an internet package if you want to check your e-mail onboard. Prior to sailing, I search for Starbucks at the ports of call for free wifi. Also ask a crew member. They usually can direct you to where the best free wifi is at each port.

If you have to fly into the cruise ports, look into doing B2B or S2S cruises. Makes the cost of the flights more worthwhile.

Oh nice! Navigator was at Terminal G for my April 12 sailing.

Majesty of the Seas - June 24, 2019

Just redeemed for Majesty of the Seas for June 24 sailing.

Glad that your family had an overall great time. That drink package must have came in handy after that long drive from Philly. The lines were long for the Riptide water coaster as people kept getting stuck at one of the many dips. I found the lines for the Blaster water slide to flow pretty well even though the lines were long. Each rider was about 25 secs between riders.

Soap and warm water is best practice to keep hands clean. Hand sanitizer is next best alternative if hand washing is not possible.

Could O5 have a permanent home in Europe? Royal's response to MSC coming to their turf?

If O5 is being built for Asia market, they will need to implement a lot more covered spaces. Spectrum is a great fit for that market.

Wow! Nice find. Which sailing date?

Bring small bills to purchase items in port. Little shops may not have enough change to break large bills. Also this will somewhat lessen the impact if you receive counterfeit currency as change.

Someone get @JennyB a lava flow, stat!

We usually skip 1st formal night in the MDR. Grab a quick bite at Windjammer and take advantage of the empty hot tub and pool.

"Somebody gonna get a hurt today!"

OP grievance should be with their phone carrier, not Royal.

Book a short pre-cruise :)

We were able to pick dining venues once onboard with the BOGO deal on Navigator. YMMV depending on existing reservations. That is another benefit of arriving to port early to finalize dining reservations for the entire sailing.

Also good to know is If you have extended health plan with lifetime coverage from pension plans, the insurance company has the right to dip into that as well.
