Just a short review and comments about the cruise. There were four of us and all had a great time. We had 10 night dining package and Chef's Table. The other 4 nights we ate in Windjammer. Lunch on sea days was either in MDR or Windjammer. Breakfast was usually room service. - Only bad item was the minestrone soup, everything else was good to excellent. Service was excellent. We met a large number of crew member that were getting off the ship either in LA or Vancouver for end of contract. They all said they were taking another contract. I was told there are about 50 that are going to the Serenade for the World cruise. We had zero complaints about service We did the all access tour and it was worth every penny. We have been on long cruises before, but never so many sea days. Usually our long cruises are Med and a lot of ports. (We had 2 TA's and one TP canceled due to Covid). I must say, we have never seen this many mobility challenged people on a cruise. I guess this was why the gym was empty. Usually no more than 4 or 5 people on the gym and we went every sea day. Our only complaint (other than the WiFi) was about other passengers. People using FaceTime with the speaker on, including in Specialty restaurants. Kids crying in restaurants and parents doing nothing. People walking slow (usually mobility challenged) in the middle of the hallway and get pissed if you say excuse me and try to get by. Sorry, but if you walk slow, move to the side. On 2 occasions I thought there was going to be fight in the Schooner Bar with people fighting about seats for Trivia. Our friends were in Next Cruise and a Pinnacle came in and demanded to talk to some one and that they were Pinnacle and should not wait - the Agent told them to make a reservation like every on else. I saw too many cases of passenger being ugly to crew

I agree - Assumed someone in our group would get it. I got it after our last cruise. Just a public service announcement if anyone not feeling well, and they care, they may want to test.

Just FYI to everyone on the ship, the couple we were on the ship with just tested positive.

The ship. is on Mountain time and so is PV.

We were told no UDP on cruises 15 nights and greater

We were at Giovannis last night as well and it was excellent, except for 2 things - The minestrone soup was very salty. Both people that had it only had a spoon full and could not eat it and second...Passengers. First half the meal there was a baby crying and parents not really doing anything to stop it and then a couple at another table get on FaceTime with the volume up loud and start a conversation that the entire restaurant could hear.

I went to the pool yesterday about 1 and no problem getting a chair, even if it wanted it by the pool. I went up a deck and plenty of chairs

Central still

Yes. And a small salad bar

I got this too, but not sure why. I still have the chocolate strawberries I’m not eating

Any good bar/bartender recommendations? The pour last night at the champagne bar was not great. Martini and was an inch from top of glass

The only cards that wait until the end of the cycle are the cards that give points for other travel (Marriott visa, American Air MC, etc). Cards that accumulate their own points post points as soon as charge posts.

My card gives the points about 3 days after spend. Paying the bill has nothing to do with it.

We were at Chops last night. Food and service was excellent. About half full. they said only 40 reservations last night, but over 100 for day 2. We were at Chops an 10:35 yesterday am and had no problem getting all the restaurants and times we wanted for our 10 nights.

We were on Radiance just before StarLink in a corner aft and had great internet in the cabin and everywhere on the ship. I probably did have to resign in once or twice a day. Interested to see if it is now better or worse.

Can you give details on this? We were going to get a cab and go to the walled city, but this may be better.

We are going the 10 nights as well. We were on Radiance in August and really enjoyed Samba Grill and wish other ships had it. Doing one night at Chef's Table and probably the rest at Windjammer. Have only eaten dinner at Windjammer one time, and only because an excursion came back very late

With really Bermuda shorts you are supposed to wear over the calf socks. I used to have Hong Kong in my sales territory and played golf at Royal Hong Kong. Was told by my host that after golf we would go to dinner and I could wear long pants or Shorts - but shorts required high socks.

Most medicare supplemental policies cover international travel as well. We buy a yearly policy for the medical and evacuation and also have the medigap

What are the colors for different C&A levels

Ours now say suite, but still all purple. As long as it gets us on ship, we are good

You mean like “shorts are welcomed in the MDR for breakfast and lunch “?

I never have, but we make ours first thing when we get on ship. I’ve heard some people have had issues, but seems usually on the larger ships

With the package, you have to wait until you are in the ship, unless you are in a suite

Kilts are usually worn with high socks
