I was reading earlier this evening and found that every passenger on board an RCCL ship above the age of 18 years old automatically has between $2.00 to 100.00 dollars imbedded on their Sail Pass Card for the slot machines in the Casino.  This must be used during the first two days of the cruise.  I had never heard or read this before and found it interesting.  Just wondered if anyone else knew of this perk.

We are booked on this cruise for June, 2023!  Sounds like a great ship and route.  Enjoy your cruise and keep posting photos.

We were on the EOS March, 2022 and found the ship to be very clean and the food was great.  As usual by the third day of our cruise salt air made my clothing shrink.

After reading all the responses and comments, thank you.  I also have been researching different hotels on Trip Advisor were I frequently write and comment.  I think we're going to go with Spring Hill Suites a Marriott property.  Through my research I found the hotel RCCL is using for Air2Sea accommodations which received a number of terrible comments by RCCL cruisers.  If anyone has comments regarding this Spring Hill please share them.  We are ready to cruise!!!!

Just wondering if any of you take a converter to take advantage of the 220 outlets in the cabins.  Any recommendations?

There are no RC hotels.

Smoky, I could have stated that better.  Usually RCCL has hotels they contract with to book passengers going out of cruises.  If you're using RCCL Air they provide transport to the hotel and then transport to the ship in the morning.

Does anyone know which hotel(s) RCCL uses in Cape Liberty?  We're sailing on August 18th, 2022 on the Adventure of the Seas and thinking about using a RCCL hotel since we're also using RCCL air.

I had a zero wait time earlier today.

This evening we booked a 9 night cruise out of New Jersey on the Adventure of the Seas in August of 2022.  We got the 550 off and the 30% per person and over 700 dollars for our state of residence which is Kentucky.  I just thought I would mention this as it really helps with the bottom line.

We were on an Explorer of the Seas cruise which ended on March 6, 2022.  My passport expired on March 12th and Kathy's was still in her previous name.  I thought it was time to renew my passport and to get Kathy's in the right name.  The government website lists 8-11 weeks for new passports to be issued and received.  For 60 dollars you can get expedited service which lists 5-7 weeks which we chose not to use..  I got the needed forms and supporting documents together and mailed them to Philadelphia on March 22, 2022.  In about 10 days our passports showed up on the government website as received and being processed.  Today, April 8th, 2022 both of our new ports arrived by mail at our home.    A note included with the passports explained that my passport card would be sent in a separate package and our supporting documents would be returned in yet another package.  I don't know if this is a slow time, we just hit at a good time, we were just lucky or if this is the regular return time.  What ever the reason we are very impressed by the good service.

I don't relish the thought of this drill.

Thank you sir! I just came here to ask if they would ever be back in stock lol

No problem, glad to be of help.  I ordered our tests yesterday and they have already shipped showing a delivery date of tomorrow.  While our cruise is a month away I'd rather have the test on hand and not have to worry about getting them.
