There should be a place in the WJ.

It has nothing to do with positioning of the ship, but the booking. B2B is when you stay on for a second sailing on the same ship. S2S is when you do a second sailing on a different ship

This, RCI won't help you going to a different line outside RCG. And it's a S2S, B2B is the same ship.

With RCI at the ground breaking ceremony, I assume one or both of these ports will be on some of the itineraries in 2024 and beyond: With construction on the new Cabo Rojo cruise port well underway, the Dominican Republic aims to become the Caribbean’s top cruise destination. Set to open towards the end of 2023, the new cruise port is a $126 million project that will have space for four cruise ships at any one time and is filled with activities close by, while the area itself is one of the top destinations on the island. At the same time, the country is investing in the Samana cruise port, which could bring back ships from Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean. Executives from both cruise lines recently attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Port Cabo Rojo Cruise Ship Terminal In a bid to become the biggest cruise destination in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is investing heavily in its cruise infrastructure. The country already hosts some of the busiest cruise ports in the area, including Amber Cove, Puerto Plata, Isla Catalina, La Romana, Punta Cana, and the capital of Santo Domingo. “We have had a great boom in cruise ships and we intend to continue expanding, we are talking about having a projection of going from three to six terminals. Cases like Cabo Rojo in Pedernales, with the new terminal, Barahona; a province where it has always dreamed of receiving cruise ships and we are already working on a plan, as well as in Samaná and Arroyo Barril, which will be carried out through Public Private Partnerships”, said Port Authority executive director Jean Luis Rodríguez.

Once complete, the Puerto Cabo Rojo cruise port will have a maximum capacity of over a million cruise ship passengers annually. The area will have four berths, entertainment, shopping, a spa, a beach area, and a water park. Set to be complete by the end of 2023, it will make the port one of the more prominent players in the Caribbean. The plans for building the port at Cabo Rojo are not surprising. The area is one of the most beautiful in the Dominican Republic and is famous for its stretched-out white sand beaches and wildlife; its turquoise waters are also home to some of the Caribbean Sea’s best-preserved coral reefs. While construction here began last month, the Dominican Republic is also expanding its cruise ship operations in the Samaná Bayport. Ground Breaking Ceremony For Expansion of Samaná Bayport Last week saw the groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of another popular cruise port in the Dominican Republic. The Samaná Bayport will be one of the biggest tourist destinations in the Dominican Republic, capable of handling 10,000 passengers per day, bringing it in line with Puerto Plata. Already a popular stopover port for Costa Cruises and AIDA Cruises, the groundbreaking ceremony for a new terminal building, restaurants, retail shops, piers for water transport and excursions, marina, information center, and recreation areas were attended to by officials from Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean. It makes clear the intense interest of the cruise industry to expand to new and newly developed destinations. The port, which will be completed in late 2023 or early 2024, will have space for one vessel at a new floating pier and several anchorage positions. Situated at the island’s Northern coastline, Samana is ideally located for cruises that visit the eastern Caribbean but also sailing from New York, Boston, and other homeports on the easter seaboard. The area is particularly popular because it is one of the best places in the world to watch Humpback whales which use the site each year for mating and giving birth. Between the two ports, the Dominican Republic expects to welcome more than 20,000 passengers per day more than what it is capable of handling currently.

Within a few days, if you submit it at the right time - no more than 2-3 weeks out.

All specialty coffee locations are supposed to have switched over.

The latter.

Except they have not done that with previous increases, so.......

You can't submit the test to RCI nor upload it to the app - you may have to show it at check in.

The only ship I see in Athens is Serenade on 5/27/24 which I assume is her World Cruise stop there. The attachment is from this site: olp.gr - Cruise Terminal Cruise_Schedulle_for_2024_5-7-2022.pdf

Gibraltar port schedule Schedules | Cruise | Gibraltar Port Authority There are no listing for RCI ships as of now that I can see. I assume others with better port schedule links (like @SummmerInKefalonia) can provide more info. Biker, who thinks this might be the most inaccurate early port schedule guessing thread yet.

The engine fix is supposed to start next week? The port changes have already been announced.

Yes, you just need to logout and login with the different credentials between sessions.

Think of the SL as a pre COVID DL - you do remember back that far, right?

No one has reported it from a ship, but the earliest sailing anyone would have seen this in their edocs would have been next week - this may be a slow moving train wreck.

Break up things into more manageable sized single posts.

Usually, you can't - you can ask in the Roll Call thread of the sailing you want for someone to tell you what the current price is.

Yes, vax card upload usually only works from the app.

Yeah, those are sorta the normal numbers (a bit low on download).

Updates to the app happens sometimes, including on the ship - sometimes even more up to date than the Compass.

$$$$ and/or other factors are making them shift ships, they just won't tell you about it ahead of time, they like to surprise folks.

The former.

The download/upload numbers are way better than normal (by 10x) and the ping is a bit worse than normal (by about 50%). In the end, overall performance is the key and if you can read CC and upload pics at a decent rate, that's all that matters.

You sure you are/were on wifi only and the Surf tier? The download speed for Surf is usually limited to about 500kbps. Even Stream is usually limited to 4Mbps. Yikes at the ping time (usually down to the 600ms range - lower is better). Biker, who is confused by the numbers.
