If you got your coffee from the Starbucks kiosk and it was included in the either the DBP or RP that would be very strange. It has been reported extensively across all ships for years now on CC that this is not possible. Most likely you got specialty coffee at Cafe Promenade which serves Starbucks products and even has a Starbuck logo on the posted menu.

He's doing well... Is he still rotating between Fly half and Fullback?

This sounds like a great trip... I'll enjoy following along.

There are no suite vouchers. In the suite lounge during HH there is no charge. if you are on an Oasis class, beer and wine, is free between 11 and 11. There are no vouchers used in either case.

That's bizarre... when they punch your room number into the POS terminal your picture comes up... That should have been caught immediately.

I'll be looking forward to you posting updates on Owens progress. Even though I'm a few years removed from being active, I'm still passionate about the sport and love to hear about new players embracing it.

Last Sept we got a inside promenade view for 149 no Navigator. I think regular insides were 99 pppd.

They told me 48-72 hours too but that didn't work. I tried again on day 6 after my initial withdrawal was day 2. I thought about going to the Casino Host again and seeing about getting it sorted but I didn't care enough. I was just doing it for the CC points. I still had money left from my initial withdrawal.

I actually didn't need the money but I get 2x points on my Royal Caribbean BOA visa for all things purchased as Royal. Cash at the Casino as a room charge gets me that. I redeposit all remaining funds immediately upon getting off the ship. It's just a way to get a little extra cash.

I hope things work out...

Great stuff, I hope he continues to enjoy the experience. A lack of a professional league has kept Rugby as a fringe sport but that is starting to change. North America has a long way to go in developing a profession game but Major League Rugby seems to have found it's footing and a professional league this side of both oceans will only improve the quality of play locally. With the Rugby World Cup being held in the USA 2031 I expect that that will continue to grow exponentially.

Wow, great day at the pitch. That was smart support play on his try. It was hard for me to tell right at the end how it went down but it looked like he made a smart cut inside either prior to or just after being passed to. Good vision. I'm curious about his kicking experience. Since he is new, did he have background of kicking in football? A drop kick isn't a typical football skill even if you were a kicker.

I am sure there are exceptions... Just as overall I would think USD would be the easiest.

I would think what is written on the invoice would trump what it says on the website. No where in the new contract is there any language about passports.

I've had aft and corner aft cabins on Adventure, Mariner, Navigator and Liberty. When booking those are my go to cabins. I love the corner afts the most!

"Dollar General" of the seas 🙂

I have been on deck 10 right under the Windjammer many times on Voyager and Freedom class ships and have never had problem with noise from above.

Yes, ours did...

Just got caught back up Wayne... Great review as usual!

I got them at the English pub. They might be available elsewhere but I never asked.

If we lived in the Bay Area I might too. There are just such crappy flights out Fresno. It American or United. Alaska, my preferred airline on the coast has stopped doing Fresno to LA direct since covid. I will not fly United. Every time I have tried it has been a gong show so that leaves me with American. Driving just as easy. I can do it in 4 1/2 hours and this way my car is waiting for in the parking lot after debarkation. EDIT: Sorry for tangent on your live thread @twangster

Interesting, that didn't work for me on Oasis. I made a $500 room charge on day 2. I was locked out for the remainder of the cruise. I always intended to pull $1000 out but figured I start with $500. I never did get the second $500 out. I tried at various times over the cruise right up until the 6th day. Never tried again and the last day.

One benefit of the onboard charge is that it shows up as a Royal Caribbean purchase so if you are using the Royal Caribbean branded BOA Visa you get double points for it.
