The Jewel is doing a 14 night to Canada and Greenland next fall from Cape Liberty.

Don't be upset but she's taking over for the Oasis and very likely sailing the same routes.

It works for Anthem, Oasis, and other ships. I use it all the time.

Thanks. I'm getting ready for the Symphony release this week and I know accessible rooms are at a premium.

Thanks. Score one for Royals I/T staff again. Can I assume the handicapped rooms would the the same as the Anthem and Oasis.

Nope...Neither are working

I'm trying to use the following link to get a list of accessible cabins for the Symphony and Odeessy and it's not working. What are the correct two digit codes? http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ports/accessibilityFeatures.do?pagename=accessible_staterooms_popup_an

Their ad said the week is 12/22, not specifically 12/12.

It's about 20 minutes versus 5 for the water taxi. It depends on how well you tolerate the heat and how much time you have.

That's not true. Most ships depart at 3 and pass under the bridge about 3:45 or so. The tides vary daily, it's not a constant.

Spoke to Mario last week on the Anthem. He said he's leaving mid January but didn't know who his replacement was.

Take an island tour that includes SMX airport and the French side of the island.

The new itinerary doesn't happen until 2024. Jan 2023 still has the old ones.

The timing is off. Liberty doesn't get to Bayonne until the early May (not sure of the exact date).

It also depends on the time of day. You'll see lower minimum bets during late morning and early afternoon when the casino isn't that busy to entice more people to play the table games.

On the Anthem now Got the sanitizer and mask in a standard balcony.

You could always sneak some 50ml of your favorites in your luggage. So I've been told.

Agreed, but many take it because of location. They don't want to go a few tables in where many tables are available. I've seen many people lay the accessible placard down, and then cover it with a napkin.

My wife is a stroke survivor and has used a wheelchair or scooter for the past seven years. There should be clearly marked areas in the WJ. Sorrento's and the cafes will not be an issue either. As for shows, the accessible area is usually the back row. It allows seating for the person in the wheelchair as well as their companion. If you see healthy people sitting in these areas, just point it out to the matre'd in a food area, or an activity member in a show area and they will ask the offender to move. Please do not flame me for the term "healthy people". Most people using an accessible area know exactly what I am saying.

I did a B2B on it in October. I didn't like the casino. I thought it was very tight and closed in. They didn't have a a clearly defined non smoking area , people smoked anywhere they wanted to and staff didn't enforce the the non smoking areas. I was not a fan of the pizza shop in the Royal Promenade. Pizza seemed to be burnt most of the time and service was so slow that people gave up and just walked away.

I've also been on ships where it hasn't happened until the Tuesday or Wednesday after Thanksgiving. There's no set pattern.

The ramp at Bar Harbor after you get off the tender can be very tricky. At high tide, it's not too steep and therefore manageable. But at low tide it's very steep . The trick is to get there at high tide. It doesn't matter as much when you're returning because it's downhill.

But is she staying there? Or will she then do a one-off one way to Florida or some other home port?

They usually have two ships during the summer and fall. This year was the Adventure and next year is the Liberty . Odyssey and Utopia have been rumored.

I saved over $2100 on three cruises. But my wait times were as bad as everyone mentioned.
