Be careful you don’t accidentally by mistake check yes to any questions if it should be a no answer.

Wearing my sunglasses 🕶️

Funny thing is on every cruise I tell the room steward that we don’t want towel animals and yet we still get them.

If that happens…we’re abandoning ship!

We’ve been to Venice so we don’t plan to stay there pre cruise, so we can’t depend on the royal transfer from there.

We’ll be cruising from Ravenna and wondering from those with much more experience than me in this area, which is the best (for ease of getting to the port) and least expensive airport to fly into from the US. If you can add ways to get to the port from these airports that would also be helpful. Thanks!

The last cruise we were on I went to put a cookie on my plate and a young boy no older than 7 walked up and took a chunk of watermelon off the fruit tray WITH HIS HANDS. I nicely said we’re not supposed to touch the food, but he can use the tongs….and at the same time a crew member had seen what he did and came and took the whole tray of fruit away…to probably be thrown out. At the same time the boy’s dad appeared from nowhere, and started to yell at me, and said not to talk to his son….I have no right to tell him what to do….. poor kid.

The TAs we’ve done there were areas in the Atlantic that had spotty wifi. On the Voyager Arctic TA last September on the way back to Boston, we had a couple of days with terrible service. The only way I got any type of connection was in the promenade in one particular seat. When at sea, everyone is using wifi, and that seems to slow it down.

I guess the cruises I looked at didn’t include it, glad other cruises are stopping there. We did the Hawaii TA twice, first on Legend many years ago, and in 2019 on Radiance and it was 7 days on the islands. Brilliance is our favorite ship, have a wonderful time!

I see that you do still have 1 day in Kauai, which is really a beautiful island and one reason I like to visit Hawaii. I agree that royal should offer something to you all because this is a cruise to “Hawaii” and 1 stop isn’t enough. In the past we had 7 days in all the islands of Hawaii. I’m so sorry for what’s happened in Maui, it’s unbelievable and so tragic , but I understand how you feel too.

I 100% agree Ken. We’ve done two Hawaii cruises on Royal in the past, and I’ve wanted to book another Hawaiian TA for the past couple of years, but Royal doesn’t stop at Kauai at all now and even the Hawaii ports are just ok….except for Lahaina. Now, there’s no way I’ll book another cruise to Hawaii in the near future. Royal should be ashamed to make this change without any compensation. I’m sorry but Seattle or Vancouver are nothing like Hawaii. Shame on Royal.

I don’t have real claustrophobia, but I like fresh air and I love the sound of the ocean. For those two reasons we almost always get at least a balcony room. Yes we can see and hear the ocean from many areas on the ship, but rarely are they as quiet as our balcony. You my find that you’ll spend mornings enjoying your coffee out there, or an afternoon break from all the noise and activity to just relax and take a quick nap, or have a glass of wine before going to dinner and the evening activities.

That’s happened to us more than once. One time we had never even checked out any towels.

I could absolutely live on a ship I love the ocean, I wouldn’t have to cook or clean, I could still eat a healthy diet, I could still exercise, would have much more entertainment than I get at home….. what’s not to love about that 😁

Yes…. Spellcheck must have changed the name I typed. 😁

Same thing happened at Disney….they hired a new guy and he was all about money, and was so bad that he got fired and Bob Igor had to come back from retirement to fix the mess.

Which lines are charging for main dining?

Please let us know if this works for you and on which ship. Enjoy!

Thanks! I will definitely do that on B2B cruises!

On B2B, do you mean we can book a reservation for the 2nd cruise using that cruises upcoming BOGOs while we’re still on the first cruise after we used those BOGOs? If so, I never knew that.

How did this taste? Ive never had one of these

Thanks!!!!

He’s so close to 21 and frankly, I don’t think the servers would ask him for ID if they even noticed he’s having a drink, especially if she gives them a tip

Thanks, that’s what I plan to do now…..we’ll probably also use our D+ BOGOs for lunches on days that we don’t like the MDR menus and skip dinner

No
