I dont remember aboutnrcl but I know ccl issued secondaries, more stock and vastly diluted the outstanding shares. Maybe rcl didnt issue secondaries to raise cash to stay alive. Of course the officers benefitted as they get stock options.

Crossing my fingers. Crossing off things to do. I spent this morning throwing away papers not sure its smart to throw away. Got a old laptop out of date I dont use but afraid to throw away. 8th grade certificates, so many memories my mom kept. This is me when I lived in hawaii and walked up to a falls daily and was in shape. Photo taken on the road to hana in Maui. Boxes and boxes of stuff she kept. I cant keep them all forever, though she kept them. Her marriage certificate, so many memories. I am not even looking at every paper too sad. I wish so much she was still here to talk to her. She kept everything in files. .. everything. I threw most out. Kept her retirement folder in case there is a problem with the irs. Almost nothing else. Stuff probably should be shredded. Birth certificates and such with ssn on them. Idk but I'm throwing all those papers out. Idk maybe some day I'll wish I'd kept this stuff.

If you are HC tell them that and HC boards with the key, pinnacles and full suites.

I'll follow along out of curiosity. In Galveston on lower class ships it did have priority boarding but not on oasis class, so I'm confused too. Depended on class of ship or maybe was the port folks? I'd think whatever you boarding pass says, if it says priority I'd go to priority line.

Lol worried and a lot of things, not sure excited lol. I wish I had the day and time for when they come to pack and the day the truck arrives to deliver. . Before I leave for san antonio then my cruise. Cant plan anything until I know when they deliver. Leaving notes to email me the packing date and time, do not call. I cant answer the phone when I'm cruising worries me. Bad time for a cruise. But its booked and paid for. The guy said it's possible he will have the schedule for me before I leave for my friends house next week.

How many nights are these prices for? 4 nights? I made a list of hotels but like poster above waiting. I need late may 2025. .. getting close. I'm looking for 1 solo pax is why so many come up for me with one single twin bed, but I've found some larger ones. Several on your list. One even had some kind of balcony but it was solid wood, not a great view imo but oh well. Waiting to book, but impatient. I've searched for both spanish steps and Colosseum as some that are in the later area arent that far from from the steps area.

Odd hours. Mostly I've seen hours in the morning and happy hour, never those hours. What ship had these hours from 11 to 1?

Heated Loungers on Radiance?

I've only seen these on carnival dream class. Not even all carnival spas. Did radiance and didnt hear of any. -
Adding services mid- cruise?
firefly333 replied to Jakefromcanada's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I buy wifi "for the rest of the cruise" and wait for midnight when 1 days worth is subtracted and its repriced. About 3 or 4 nights before the end depending on price. I get 2 days free wifi and the discount pops up and I pay the different. Yes you can buy for 1 day, but also for the rest of the cruise. I've seen a few posts for a 10 drink card for $100 on wonder, not sure how often its offered onboard. The drink pkg usually not offered after day 2. -
We did the dive ship where the ship goes underwater but you can see. Some saw small turtles but missed me. They fed the fish once and we saw some coral. Curacao for me that excursion to see what was in the sea was a bust. Not really a submarine. Going back next April. I want to see the ostrich farm at curacao. Good reviews.

RCL food has gone downhill fast
firefly333 replied to Bullet100's topic in Royal Caribbean International
And my experience on allure, my steak was much undercooked. I had mama mia scheduled and couldnt wait for them to recook. Smart slack waiter was like what's wrong it a perfectly cooked medium. I ordered medium well. No truffle seasoning on truffle fries. I'd rank 3 out of 10. Sometimes you do just have a bad experience. I dont disagree with the OP the food went downhill, just think it didnt happen overnight or fast. I do rcl for other reasons, not food. Each line to me has good and bad. Royal doesnt win the food wars for me. I hope to do HAL some day just to try the food I hear is better.
