They will invite Royal shoreside employees and media most likely. They aren't allowed to have a revenue cruise to nowhere.

RWDW1204 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Somewhat off topic. Parking at Terminal A. Lots of questions. Is it worth it? Convenient? Easy to drop off luggage, park, then rejoin your party in line or in terminal? What about on return day? Take luggage to car or get car and pick up everyone/thing curbside? We usually park off-site. Just wanting to know others opinions. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanting to know others opinions. Thanks. Leave everyone in the car and park in the garage. They have porters by the elevators when you drive into and you stop and unload your luggage in the parking garage before parking. Really easy. On return day however it is a mess. Line for the elevator to the garage with everyone and their luggage. It's almost easier for one to run and retrieve the car and return to do the pickup of luggage and passengers, but the people directing traffic in there try to push you towards the end of the pickup area where it's very congested with all of the other pickups, taxis, rideshares, etc. If you can get away with leaving the ship as late as possible and taking your sweet time exiting the crowds may have dissipated a bit.

WAAAYTOOO Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I just got an email from my Genie. She told me that all staterooms have been refreshed.

twangster Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I'm hoping the TV's have WiFi access points built into them and you can stream to the TV's from your devices. That was a concept they mentioned a while ago but never said anymore about. WiFi in the TV would solve a lot of poor WiFi coverage issues.
