Explorer of the Seas Cabin question
mo&fran replied to travelberlin's topic in Royal Caribbean International
i Have never ever heard an elevator from any stateroom on any RC ship. And yes, 7311 is a promenade view room, and there is a hallway separating you from the elevator bank. I would call that a good spot. -
Yesterday marked the last Chemo treatment that was scheduled. The radiation treatment is 35 treatments, 5 days a week. The first 25 are full treatments, based on a cat scan of the affected area, Those 25 have been completed, along with a new cat scan to determine how the last 10 treatments will be handled. The tumor has pretty much disappeared, but I am having considerable difficulty swallowing, so primary nutrition is by feeding tube. I have had minimal weight loss, so the feeding tube is working. Still shooting for a sail date of Oct 7. I have never mentioned this before, but my favorite Pinnacle benefit is breakfast in Chops. Don't usually eat breakfast at home, but just to walk in, have a waiter at your table to bring some French Toast, sausage, potatoes , some bacon. And a glass of iced tea. Yumm. did not have to fix it, or clean up after

Unless it is a military ship, or a private yacht, I would say never. -

Better than having the emergency alarm go off BY MISTAKE in the middle of the night. -
Royal Changes Next Week b/c of Lee?
mo&fran replied to vision14k's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The forecast I looked at was NWS. I just looked at the local forecast the show the spaghetti plots, and all models predict a turn to the North well off the Fl coast. They seem very certain of the turn. -

The forecasts are getting better , but not that much better. -
I have watched this channel, pretty much bing-watched the first year , till the put the boat in dry dock to complete the restoration. As an engineer I was impressed with his approach to the project down to spread sheets detailingwhat we need to do, and like to do but cannot afford. They got to a point where they needed more money, and were going to stop working on the boat to go do work the get paid for doing. At that point, the joind the Patreon program, which allows people to become patrons of the channel. I then skipped forward to the segment where the boat took a lightening strike. As he analyzed what needed to be replaced, When Colin said he was going to put his Amazon order. That set the tone where financially they had come.

We were on our third cruise in 2003 , I said I want to go to Europe and cruise back. That was on Connie. From England. The next 2 years on Millennium from BCN, then Century again BCN, the we switched from Celebrity to Navigator for our first B2B , eastern Med plus TA to Fl. Stayed with Royal after that.

I really like westbound TA's , but the ones that go there usually are going to the Northeast for the fall leaf season. The Connie cruise left Dover, UK for NYC. We were living in Ct at the time, so it was handy for us. Not so much now. But, never say never. WE did our first eastbound in 2019. DW said I want to go on a cruise. I said "Hey look, how about TPA to AMS", only a month or so before the cruise. No planning, just go. Had a great time.
