Based on my experience with the last increase they were protected by having them added onto your reservation at booking or added prior to any increase.

Nice!! I should start harvesting tomatoes, peppers and zucchini this weekend. Eggplant and cucumbers are a tad slower, hopefully ready by mid July. We are picking a couple dozen peaches every couple of days. I have to gather all my peach recipes and get to work on them this weekend.

Sending our thoughts and prayers for your treatment plan to be a success with minimal side effects. 🙏🦋

Sorry for those that dislike the holiday and the fireworks, but we had a nice day. Started off with a nice 2 hr local town parade. Hot and muggy day in the 90s as it usually is on the 4th. Eric's Brother came over for a mini BBQ and to watch the local fireworks. The town did a 40 minute firework display, that was really nice. Then homeowners began their own displays. They are legal to buy in PA. Always amazed at how much they spend on fireworks. Traffic was insane, as usual. Town carnival began Monday night and runs thru Saturday night. We plan on going on spaghetti night that ends with a pie eating contest. Always fun to watch. Besides the heat and humidity it was a really nice Holiday. Back to work today, ugghhh!

That's Great! Sounds like you had a nice time 😊

Definitely want to check out black Friday sales for internet, dining pkg, etc etc.

Yes, you can link all 3 reservations. Should be able to do on the Royal app. Best to have all linked, If you want a large table for dinner in the main dining room. You want to email rcldining@rccl.com 3 to 4 weeks before your cruise. Then once you board go to the MDR and confirm your request.

You may want to consider booking a lunch at a specialty restaurant as the cost is about 1/2 the price but basically the same menu. As for refreshment package, if you enjoy fresh squeezed juices, specialty coffee, soda and bottled waters then it would probably be worth it. Otherwise, regular juice, coffee/tea, ice tea and some other juices in the Windjammer are included in your cruise fare. As for items on the cruise planner, you can purchase items such as internet, drink packages, dining packages, etc. now then when you see a sale (Hopefully Black Friday sales will be good again this year) you can cancel the item and rebook at the sale price. Or chance it and see what the pricing is for the Black Friday sale.

I have heard that Norwegian and Carnival have reduced their cabin cleaning to once a day. Are cruise lines still having staffing issues in 2023? Is this part of the reason for reducing to once a day cabin service?

We just returned from a local parade. Greg, I thought of you when I saw this but I was a little too late in getting my phone out of my pocket for a frontal photo.

+1. Happy Birthday Mimi. Enjoy to the fullest🍹💐

+1. Happy birthday to Shelagh. I hope she has a wonderful day and fun at your pool party.

So sorry to hear Susan is still not well. Did they confirm it is Lyme disease or still unknown?

Sofa beds and Pullman can be put away by room steward in the morning and made in the evening, if you want, just ask them.

I had no idea you could make these requests on royals app. Where did you do this?

We like once a day. We have asked for evening. We ask for 530ish if they could and enjoyed having everything done along with our nightly towel animal and paper compass being in the cabin when we returned from dinner for bathrooms. For the last couple of years we usually ask for once a day anyway.

Walking off the ship slightly hung over in that heat hit us like a brick but we drank tons of water and powered thru. Glad we did as it is an unique city and port.

So sorry to hear about your Brothers dog. He was probably so sad and scared while lost. Hopefully he lived a full and happy life after his surgery.

Thank you. Same to you and your family💕

Plenty of shade. I'm going to say Chill island with loungers near palm trees would be best for you.

If you don't want to be bothered by street vendors then go the port shopping area with the bird sanctuary, flamingos, etc. and other animals, monkeys, etc wandering around. Can also buy some good coffee there.

In 2020 when we sailed Serenade to Cartagena we did the Rcl tour of the Old Walled City that included a Harbour tour. Loved touring this area. Beautiful buildings but the street vendors are really annoying. Worst I've ever experienced. Be prepared for the heat and humidity. We were there end of January and it was high 90s with humidity near 100%. The bird sanctuary, free, at the port is a must. If a coffee drinker. Try to buy some coffee in one of the small cafes. We bought several different kinds and Boy they were all the best coffee. Wish I could buy those online.

I would ask the RV company for the bedding info.
