Haha, yeah the urge to get it working would be tempting! A couple weeks ago while watching a YouTube video about RCL drink packages, they showed off the Freestyles on the promenade. The guy went to pour a drink but the stream kept stopping rather than filling his cup. I proclaimed “I know why thats happening! Why haven’t they fixed it yet?! Thats an easy repair!” Needless to say, I’ll have to resist the temptation to tinker next time I'm onboard coneyraven, SpeedNoodles, FManke and 3 others 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzywuzzy Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Welcome. Don't be afraid to drop off your business card at GuestServices.....If an unexpected Freestyle disaster strikes that overwhelms them, you can probably get some nice OBC just for your technical advise alone. Or just enjoy your cruise and don't think about work. coneyraven, WAAAYTOOO and Neo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelaM Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hi my name is Raquela. I have been perusing his blog for some time and decided to say hello. My husband and I will be going on our 3rd cruise (2nd with our 2 yr old son) in Sept 2019 on Allure. Looking forward to it as this will be the largest ship we've been on. Previous cruises were on Jewel (2008) and Navigator (2018). My husband likes RC so much, he's reluctant to try another cruise line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzinfun Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Hello! I have been reading the archived live blogs that the guys have posted and now I've found the message boards. We have a cruise on the schedule for June 2020 which is way too long for me to wait in my opinion so in the meantime I get to read about all of your fun. I've previously cruised on carnival, dcl and msc so this will be my first royal cruise. I tend to over plan so it looks like I'm in the right place JLMoran and Fuzzywuzzy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SummerJoy72 Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi everyone! I live in Maryland and have only done one cruise, the Allure in 2017, with my husband and son. We are going on the Oasis out of Cape Liberty in June 2020. A friend told me about the podcast which led to the blog. I’m a big vacation researcher, so this has been a goldmine! Also using a travel agent for the first time, which is super strange for me. Love hearing tips and hacks to make everything smoother!

Jim O'Brien Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 We're from landlocked, but Fabulous Las Vegas. We've sailed the Baltic, Alaska going on three times, South Pacific, Panama Canal, and we are so done with the Caribbean, Bahamas and Virgin Islands. We've done a Transatlantic and considering a Transpacific. New England was a yawner. Our first cruise, the hook, was a three-night to Mexico out of Long Beach, California. Only way to go.

MelissaG Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi Everyone! My name is Melissa and I'm from Idaho. I just booked our first cruise for myself and my husband! Yay! We will be on the November 18th sailing on the Navigator of the Seas and I cannot wait! I've been listening to your podcasts, Matt, and they are so helpful and enjoyable to listen to! Thanks to you, I should be pretty well prepared before I go so I know what to expect! One of the things I'm looking most forward to besides just being on the ship and our balcony stateroom is Perfect Day at Coco Cay! I'm a kid at heart and this place looks like a ton of fun!
