I stand corrected. Sounds like it may vary a bit from port to port though. I just pulled this up from Royal’s website:

 

 Thank you so much for being polite - instead of griping that someone corrected you - accept it and go on!  Totally not related to this thread but I felt the need to say there are polite ways to dealing with this kind of thing!

Going on one in December!  My very generous FIL is treating us all.  He used a big box TA and was able to get quite a few perks.  I think the plan is to do our own thing during the day and get together for dinners.  We're really looking forward to it!

We went on one a couple of years ago.  Mostly we did our own thing although several of us might pick the same excursion. My husband likes to see sunrise and I don't so he enjoyed being able to get up early and meet up with brothers/sisters for breakfast.  And then have another breakfast with me later!  I never had to worry about keeping the kids busy either - although they were young adults at the time, they could do their own thing as well.  Dinner was when we all got together and shared our day's activities and planned for the next day.  We moved around a lot as well but the wait staff handled it wonderfully!

I'm looking forward to our next one coming up.  Hope you enjoy yours!

I'm cruising to Alaska in August and am very impressed by your work!  Looking forward to seeing the next one on packing!

I'm using Chrome on my regular desk top computer at work

Mine is there - but I only have one!

Loving this topic and definitely following.  We are booked on Norwegian Jewel in August 2019.  When I first booked it I thought it was pretty far ahead - now I'm thinking booking 18 months in advance is just right!  Working on putting together excursions and such now.  Appreciate all of the ideas and planning tips.

 Would his owner be considered a table hog or table dog.

I prefer this to the owner sitting at the table while the dog gets the food. 

I just want to say I'm glad these boards have "like" buttons now - you guys are funny!
