Booked and paid in full Harmony of the Seas out of Rome on July 22nd 2021. Four of us traveling from the USA to Europe ( fully vaccinated ) is still a bit of a challenge. The AirBnB we booked pre-cruise already canceled on us and refunded our money. 
No airfare has been booked yet and the prices are steadily rising. 
Guess this is more of a rant then anything else. 
Royal Caribbean if you’re monitoring these boards how about giving cruises some definitive information! 
 

Rant over!

I laughed out loud on this one. 
Royal found a way to bring in some extra revenue. Can’t fault them for that.

They do some times. It really just depends on how many people have booked excursions through excursions desk. If numbers are low they start offering discounts.

I had the same rash and was also at Labadee. I honestly thought I picked it up from San Juan the day after though. I applied antibiotic ointment and it went away in a few days. 

Thanks everyone.

Last Year we sailed Serenade of the Seas. Have they added a coke freestyle soda machine yet?

TIA

Small cash tips generally stays with the person you give to. If you write a tip on the receipt it likely gets pooled.

Right next to the ketchup and mayo.

When I first read this I said too myself.How many posts will it take to get this reply......lol

The only restrictions I can recall are in the Adventure Ocean / teen areas.

How about medical?

-I was expecting the poolside ice cream machine and freestyle soda machines to always be broken based on reports on these boards but they were always in working order on our trip

Yes... I totally understand how you had that impression. If they shut down a freestyle machine or ice cream some people lose there minds.

We use AT&T as a carrier. You can buy service in Canada by the day. It was $5 I believe. In Maine You won’t need it.

But at home he is quite an omnivorous and prolific eater.

I had to look this one up!

Happy Cruising

It’s not as bad as it sounds. Maybe a mile or so. It’s over a bridge and I don’t think it’s safe to walk. Take a taxi

Thank you so much for posting pictures. I’ve sailed Oasis recently but always forget to take pics, I just start digging in. Hope everything else was as great as the food.

I try to avoid scales on vacation. When I get home my doctor sends me to the zoo to get weighed in.

We sailed on Serenade last Fall. New England/ Canada cruise. Enjoyed the ship and crew. I consider this a small to medium size ship. If you enjoy interacting with staff and guests this is a great ship. Loved the piano bar at night. We are booked for a 10 day end of February into March. Can’t wait!

Happy Cruising

If you are star class your Genie will take care of all this stuff. There’s no such thing as sold out.

I prefer to call myself a Pinnacle in training.

What's pineapple?

Pineapple is a long standing joke on this board. It’s between Diamond + and pinnacle.

It does seem that suites pricing has gone up. Seems just basic supply and demand. If ships are selling out quickly it just seems prices would increase. Keep in mind if people stopped cruising prices would go back down. Not that people have shown any sign of stopping.

As for the non refundable deposit. That is a RCI policy they rolled out about 6 months ago.

Hope this helps.

Happy cruising

Casino's always takes & takes & takes US $.:( You also may need $ for grats : buying drinks, room service and any other tippable services.

I laughed out loud when I read this.

I good Lord give’ith and the Casino takes it away!

This thread is hilarious..... My faith in humanity has been restored. Vacations are supposed to be about fun and relaxing.

I would enjoy traveling with every poster on this board.

Happy Cruising

We live in the Northeast and Coke freestyle machines are in the grocery store chain Wegmans. My DS enjoys making vanilla strawberry sprite. Way off topic. Sorry

Happy Cruising

Hello,

My DW and S are both gluten free. We sailed on Serenade last week. Service was fantastic. The MDR will take great care of you. Windjammer has a limited gluten free section. A word of advise is to be careful in any buffet type setting. Cross contamination is very real. If you have any concerns always ask one of the staff dressed like officers. They have the answers and can get you anything you need.

Finally, it's nowhere near as difficult to get feed as it was ten years ago.

Happy Cruising!

Thanks
