Since passport picture cost was mentioned - Some AAA plans include the benefit of free passport photographs for your family. We just had free pictures taken for the three of us a few months ago. They provided us with two pictures for each of us, but only one picture was needed for submission. Once passport renewals are available online again, the option to take and submit your own digital photos will be another free option.

Navigator Incident in Mazatlan
Cruisin'4Us replied to AllAboardatSea's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Passengers should be required to help prevent a potential ballast issue by eating as much as possible in Windjammer. -
Help needed - Lost license while on cruise
Cruisin'4Us replied to disneybabe's topic in Royal Caribbean International
and it could be laying very flat against the bottom or side of the safe. Happened to us once. -
Hypothetically, if person A orders the RP in cruise planner, then person B calls and orders the DBP, can person A later cancel the RP in cruise planner?

Since this post is about luggage tags, I'll ask some questions here rather than making a new thread. Are luggage tags still color coded? If so, what options are there for passengers who would like to print their luggage tags in color (to aid in routing the luggage once the bags are on the ship), but who don't own a color printer? Are the tags still in PDF format? Thank you.

I was just on Cruise Planner. For our booking, as soon as one person in the cabin selected The Key, everyone was automatically selected (with everyone being over 6 years old.) Unfortunately, if only one person in the party needs the Internet, the value of The Key diminishes greatly due to the price.

On my phone, the app updated yesterday, and now the chat is missing. Hopefully, it will be a quick fix for those who use it.

While prearranged plans are good, sometimes plans can change (ex. Minor: "May I please stay longer at the arcade?" or Parent: "May I please stay longer at the bar?", or Bad Minor: "May I please stay longer at the bar?") (Sarcasm font not found.) 🙂 Also, plans can run late for various reasons. A backup or "live" communication method is a good idea.

New procedure for Seapass distribution?
Cruisin'4Us replied to peter1975's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Some minors don't have cell phones. Is their check-in information available on their parent's phone, or must they use their paper seapass? -
Internet and Cell Phone questions

Semaphore 🙂 A back-up plan is a good idea. -
Internet and Cell Phone questions
Cruisin'4Us replied to Turk1's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Not sure about iPhone, but on Android airplane mode is a convenient way to turn off data, WiFi, and Bluetooth (other connections?). Then, you can turn WiFi back on to connect to the Internet. -
Foods to avoided - to prevent illness
Cruisin'4Us replied to Cruisin'4Us's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
I'm the OP. No ulterior motives with this question. We enjoy cruising, as you can see from my signature. Thank you for the helpful responses. I did not want to influence any responses by listing our suspicion as to what made us feel ill for abut a day and a half on our Grandeur cruise. We agree that it is difficult, if not impossible, to pin down the cause. That said, we did have the Escargot, and that is what we thought may have made us ill. We have eaten it on other cruises with no problems. We were also interested in learning about other foods to look out for. Thanks again! -
What foods do you avoid eating when cruising because you suspect the food may have made you feel ill in the past. When I say ill, I mean either requiring medical attention or disrupting your cruise for a half day or more. For this thread, please don't include foods that you are allergic to, or foods that you just didn't care for. Food that was spoiled is fine to list.

I was just reviewing the menus that the OP linked to (thank you!) My wife mentioned that she did not see a duck entree. Has anyone seen a duck entree on a posted menu or in person? We will be on a 9-night Liberty cruise next year.

How do you feel about an interior room?
Cruisin'4Us replied to latebuyer's topic in Royal Caribbean International
About the same as hitting the lottery, I imagine. 🙂 -
How do you feel about an interior room?
Cruisin'4Us replied to latebuyer's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Good point, and YUK ! I hope you weren't on-board? How about "A balcony is a barely acceptable backup for an inoperative air conditioner"? 🙂 -
How do you feel about an interior room?
Cruisin'4Us replied to latebuyer's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I loved our interior room (on Celebrity.) My wife hated it. It was DARK. Great for sleeping, but not great for waking up in the morning. That said, we both like larger balcony cabins better. After seeing news footage of Carnival Triumph (2013) stranded in the Gulf of Mexico for about one week, I've insisted on balcony cabins. Sleeping on the deck to get some relief from the heat inside the ship didn't appeal to me. -
Hi Ret MP. I'm a little confused by your post. Do you believe that I suggested something unsafe? I agree with safety guidelines, but as you mentioned, there is no comprehensive policy (or list). That being the case, there are two ways that any item can be screened (carry-on and go through port security, or placed in checked baggage and have it go through ship security.) Both should (ideally) screen out the same items. I'd rather have an item, that may be determined by security to be prohibited, on the ship and returned to me at departure rather than have it held at the port. I don't see an issue with either option. I'd rather not potentially hold up the line at the port, and would prefer to visit ship security when it will most likely impact less people. Several years ago, when we brought a plug-in surge protector (no cord) on board, I asked a Royal customer service representative, prior to the cruise, if this was permitted. At that time, the rep said that it was permitted as long as there was no cord. This surge protector was screened at check-in, with our camera gear, at Cape Liberty with no issues. I don't know what the current "policy" is since the policy is not comprehensive. Edit - the item that received the most attention from port security was our unopened canister of powered iced tea mix!

I see that Royal prohibits Electrical Extension Cords. If the surge protector has a cord, it may not be allowed. We brought a plug-in surge protector (no cord) on board with no issues, but it has been several years since we cruised. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/prohibited-items-onboard-policy Others may have a different opinion, but I would put questionable items in checked luggage. I'd rather stop by security (if an item is flagged) to make my case than with security at check-in.
