Freestyle is eat when you want.

No fancy dress night.

Great now that the airlines charge so much for your bags.

Try it you might like them.

Why worry about RCL.

Between San Pedro and Long Beach you can sail everyday somewhere with HAL, Princes,

NCl, Disney, Celebrity and yes sometime Cunard.

Thanks everyone for the Harwich information.

That's so great about CC you always get the right information.

Don't touch the menu in the MDR.

Make the waiter lay it down and give him the order.

Menus are used over and over.

Go to the buffet as soon as it opens before many have touched the spoons.

Never been sick but been on many sick ships.

Anyone know the distant from the Hook of Holland ferry that arrive in Harwich ,to the cruise ship terminal?

Years ago on a TA a large group never got their bags, till we hit the first port in Europe.

Great back to the old days of sailing.

When blue jeans stayed on the farm.

The way its reported that in the SI you don't get double points.

Choice air is the best for one way when you go on a TA.

To book one way with a US airline is so expensive.

But you can maybe go cheaper if you go Air Berlin to Dusseldorf Germany spend a night in hotel.

The next day take the train to Hoek of Holland in the Netherlands and the night boot to Harwich.

The night boot arrive in Harwich early in the morning the terminal is the same place as where the TA leaves.

But you need to leave here 2 days before your TA. But a nice trip that way.

There is nothing wrong with inside cabins.

They are the greatest when cruising with everyday a port.

Been sailing for 60 years and what did the balcony snobs did years ago?

Most ships did not have balconies.

I feel the cruise lines should go back to 1st class and tourist class then you don't have to put up with cruise snobs.

Just in case you wonder, yes I have been in all the type of cabins but love the inside the best.

By the way on the TA ,Alaska. North Europe and the East coast of US the balcony are usually to cold to have your breakfast.

Gonzo 70, I never had any problems getting of in any EU country.

Maybe because I am of a certain age and have enough income to stay in the EU as long as I want.

In Europe you can disembark in any city.

Just let the cruise line know so they want think you missed the ship.

Europe in not under the law as here in the US.

What the cabin steward has to do with the dining room waiters?

The tip is charges to your sail pass 12 dollar per day.

Still you can give extra to crew who went out of their way to serve you.

See how fast you get the dining time you wish, if you tell them you want book that cruise.

Happen when I booked Oct. 2015 soon as it opened.

Got my wish.

I just returned from a 4 day CCL out of Long Beach.

Was tired off flying and waiting for RCL to get back to California.

I am very happy how great the crew was and the food.......

When was the last time on RCL ,you had lobster, snails, fried calamari,

frog legs all in a 4 day cruise.

I am still with RCL booked for April 1 Panama from San Diego

and Oct 2015 snow bird migration cruise on the Serenade from Quebec City.

But I am sure will go often now on those 4days no flying.

Got one also.

Long way from CA to NY for a 2 hour get together.

Got one also and I am not sailing that day.

Sailing out of Long Beach.

Since RCL left us, I have been on many 4 days with Carnival and enjoyed the food and the crew.

I am tired of flying to Europe or Florida to take Rcl.

Yes, I still have 2 cruises booked but other lines are now also on my book.

But I am also very senior so all the fancy stuff on the new ships are not for me to enjoy.

After my Panama cruise in April ,I am short for 340 only 50 points.

I asked the question if you get double points.

The report is no on the studios.

Well I am booked for Alaska if I change to a inside which is larger and get double points its only 147 dollar more.

clarea, this don't seem fair to me.

I am booked for 22 aug. Alaska and the studio cost me 1260.93.

If I book a inside as a single it would be only 147.19 more and get double points.

If the studio is for solo PAX, do you get double points?

I blew my top.

The April Panama which is paid for shows I own 2030.77.

Also can't print cruise papers which supposed to been ready all week.

My Alaska August cruise which I still own 1080 on is paid in full.

Rcl really need to hire someone who can keep the site running.

Waiting for the Jewel booking 2015 from Los Angeles.

Anyone has that secret?
