I am sailing in April and I have already booked the new $48 day one.

I buy it, and it includes soda, bottled water, specialty coffee plus all your drinks. 4-5 drinks a day, plus soda/water etc pay for it easily. Buy now before they remove the sale price. You could always change you mind and get a refund.

I agree! When I saw the price I jumped on it . Wasn't the old price around $65 or so just for the alcoholic drink?

My daughter just came back from an Alaskan cruise on Celebrity. They ate in the "Blue" room and there were on 2 top tables. I wouldn't like that as I prefer larger tables and meeting new people. Dinners were a big part of the cruise and lots of fun. I

Brilliance the Seas

Deck: 7'Starboard

Stateroom: 7612 -Accessible state room. Great room- met all our needs and then some .oversized balcony. Balcony has obstructed view when looking straight down. Otherwise, view great. Very quiet room, not connecting,

Another note, on brilliance, they closed the fire doors to the Centrum at 10pm - until 6am,

Sounds great? What is the name? :)

ChocoVine Comes in regular and Rasberry.m I like the regular.

I've fallen in love with it too. It's red wine and Dutch chocolate. Yummyyyyyy[emoji57]. Can't buy it on the ship, but I'm bringing a bottle with me. It makes a wonderful little nightcap sitting on the balcony. Can't drink much of it though as it's very rich!!! [emoji7]

5 long days[emoji23] [emoji23]

I saw the review you referenced and called the Access department at Royal Caribbean. They have assured me that everything has been worked out with the port of Tampa and that it was an issue that has been resolved.

Above is a reply from my TA that I wanted to pass along.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! I won't have to crawl up the ramp now!! But I would if I had too as I'm going on this cruise "come hell or high water".

I too just got off Vision Saturday. I also have trouble walking any distance. At the check-in window, the agent asked if I needed assistance. I declined. That was the wrong choice as I required 2 stops along the route due to pain. The tender to Belize was difficult for me to board. There were no steps, just a box placed down. The tender back to the ship was larger and I had no trouble. At debarkation I was not offered any assistance. I do hope you hear back from Special Services. By the way, Vision is a terrific ship. We had a wonderful time. enjoy your cruise.

I've emailed my TA about the situation and am waiting to here back from him. I haven't written Special Services again yet as they never responded to my original request. However once I hear what he's been able to find out I may try them again. I'm gonna get on that ship if I have to crawl!!!!!!

I've heard Vision is a great ship, I actually had a cruise planned on it, but my friend dropped out. I'm hoping I can schedule another trip on her nexr year.

Thanks for replying, Anne

We just returned from our cruise on Saturday. Sailed on Vision of the Seas out of Tampa and we embarked at pier 2. Unlike our last trip, we had NO HELP with my wheelchair from anyone at the actual port. Not until after we got through check in. My husband had to push me every step of the way.

 

Once we got to actually boarding the ship - the Royal Caribbean staff stepped right up and helped me up the ramps - hubby just followed along behind. They got me safely aboard in no time.

 

We also had help getting off and on the ship at every port. Cozumel was an easy ride off of the ship - and the RCI staff pushed the wheelchair up and down all ramps.

 

Upon return, anyone needing wheelchair assistance waits in the main dining room , where the RCI staff got my wheelchair and helped me get off of the ship and took me to the baggage claim area, where hubby was on his own again.

.

Hope this helps. Have a great cruise.

Thanks for your reply. My only problem now is that I don't have a wheelchair. I only use them at airports and ship ports as I can't walk long distances or sharpe inclines. Did the RC people seem to have available wheelchairs for people like me as I can walk through checkin (I think 😟). If not, I am literally "up a creek without a paddle"! Wish me luck, Anne

I just read a disturbing comment on Ship Mate that there was a dispute going on about this service. Luckily, I can walk, but only for short distances and definitely not up steep ramps. My TA requested this when he made the reservation, but I am afraid this isn't going to help. Also, I wrote Special Services over a month ago about assistance on the pier at Cozumel, but they never responded then. So, don't know if another email about this will get any attention either. I, honestly, don't know what to do - I refuse to cancel my cruise!!! Any on else have this problem?

Thanks yuvraj, I wrote to special needs yesterday, so I 'll wait and see what they say. If I don't have any luck them I'll do exactly as did. Are there any benches or anything to sit on, which would help. I'll pass on what they say - that is, if I hear back from them., Anne

Thanks everyone. You've all been so helpful. I'll send an email to special needs right away. I, honestly, can"t imagine we are the only two people that need assistance. I already have wheelchair assistance set up for on and off the ship. Thank goodness for that as we'd never make it without help. We'll both be fine once we are on the ship - we just have difficulty with walking long distances. We'll be find at Nachi Concom too. Thanks again, Anne

Yes, I would like to know if you can do it on Brilliance?

Does anyone know just how long the pier is to get out to the taxis. We want to go to Nachi Comcom (?) but 2 of us can't walk long distances. Does anyone know if they have any kind of shuttle or cart? Don't want to book an excursion that we can't get to!![emoji3] Thanks, Anne

I used TC's on my cruise last March. I only needed cash for tips and in the casino. I had no problem cashing them at Guest Services for no charge. The ATM's cost you a lot, both on the ship and by your bank. TC's are free. And you don't have to carry a lot of cash around. Think they are great!

There is a cabin type PV, for panoramic view that is larger (193 sq ft). They also have a full picture 7 x7 window. They are on decks 7 & 8. I've got one booked in February.

I was on Jewel in March and had CC and ginger ale at the MDR dinner meal every night. And also in the bars as that's all I drink.

Would like to email he oasis bar manager to asks question

Try Googling it. Just put in door decor for cruise ships or something like that. I can't remember the sites but there are quite a few out there. I even found one site that I could have something custom made. Good Luck.

...because I love the sea!

My reason too!! Sit at the widow at night and watch the waves. Puts me to sleep every time![emoji17]

Me too!

thought this would be a fun topic:
