Cupcake Decorating?
Luv2teachandcruise replied to USERBOYD66's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My daughter and I did it on our cruise in April. It was fun, we did three different cupcakes...one with fondant, and two with buttercream. -
Quantum Beds, Any Good?
Luv2teachandcruise replied to christydore's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We had two JS rooms on Anthem earlier this month and I can tell you the mattresses were the worst we have ever had on any RC ship...no pillow top whatsoever. -
I can't answer the types of tea bags, but they do have sweet n low (pink packets, right). As for gluten free, i am not sure about that exactly, but I have a lot of allergies and if you speak to your waiter about your gluten free diet, they will have someone higher (head waiter, etc), about what they can offer you. I did notice quite a few desserts that were GF.

The wifi calling was terrible. The wifi was terrible. We were kicked off multiple times, I couldn't check on my son at home, (who got sick and ended up in the ER) because the internet was so bad. We did end up getting 40% off our internet package, but should have gotten 80-90 % off as it was only usable 10-20% of the time.

See, you are not reading what I am saying, you just want to argue amd make your point. I'm so proud of your younger than 20 year old child who owned his first home, so did I, but thats not the point. My son loves cruising but you keep spewing out your opinions and trying to make them facts. Anyway, have a great life.

It has nothing to do with drinking. I merely mentioned that because at the singles get together that is what people were doing and they were all so much older than him, that it was uncomfortable. He did go to every one, every night hoping to seem someone his age, but he didnt. I love when people want to say "dont take them" etc. We were used to seeing activities for 18-20, which they obviously had not started back up, unfortunately. My observation had nothing to do with "babysitting" the fun. It had everything to do with my son and his experience. He has extreme social anxiety and will not go up to a group of people and introduce himself. I'm glad if you are a person who can meet anyone anywhere, he is not. He doesn't "hate just about anything" as you put it, he had a blast in the casino, won two raffles there and walked away with mire than he put in. 18 is a teenager...it is in the name...eight-TEEN, but he is also an "adult". I completely get not mixing 18 in with the other teens, but you need to know...there are a lot of HIGH SCHOOL kids who turn 18 while they are still in high school...and mix all day long.

He has always had fun meeting people in the teen area. He has social anxiety and isn't one to go up to a group of people to introduce himself. It has nothing to do with drinking. He just said that when they had the mingles for singles, everyone was drinking and that was awkward for him. He enjoyed the casino and won a couple of raffles! But, he was lonely in the evening and I felt bad for him. That was my point.

So, I know this will sound like a first world problem, but...In June we took our first cruise post-covid and my sons were 16 and a recent 18. My 18 year old was MISERABLE! He will tell anyone who listens that he "grew up" on Royal Caribbean and how much he loves cruising, but he said he won't go again until he is over 21, if ever. There was NOTHING...NADA, ZIP, ZILCH...for him to do. Too old for the teen group (crazy), too young for drinking. All of the people at the "Singles mixers" were in their late 20s to their 40s. Not one thing was in the cruise planner for 18-20. I sent a LONG letter to Royal and, of course heard nothing back. I know pre-covid I would see activities for"18-20", but I promise you nothing was happening on our ship. I was talking about it in the elevator one afternoon and another couple heard and said their 19 year old hated it as well. So, I hope that I wasn't the only person to complain and Royal realized that by alienating this group, they could ultimately lose a big group of future passengers. I hope that they bring back the 18-20 activities! As I said, my son grew up on Royal we are just a few points away from Diamond Plus and I hope that he will give Royal a chance again someday.

Kids Birthday during cruise
Luv2teachandcruise replied to AKCollins's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We often moved my younger son up to be with his brother when they were younger. We just had to sign a waiver. I also think it depends on how busy they think AO might be. It's worth just asking for her to be put in with the older kids when you first register. Good luck!
