Rose City Cruiser

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.

Following along. I will be getting onto the ship as you are getting off. Enjoy your cruise!

I don't know about you guys, I would use the FCC towards an Oasis-class Loft Suite.

Tip my hat to RCCL for making it right to those affected by the cancelled cruises. Can't believe those who want to "squeeze" more from RCCL. Just proves you cannot satisfy everyone.

We used JetBlue and Delta as our airlines for cruising. But now JetBlue no longer has direct flights to FLL/MIA from DTW. So I will now stick to Delta. They have been great to us. Very accommodating when we used them for our destination wedding.
