We are on Oasis & Allure Nov 2020.

Hoping that will be a go? 

Sort of thinking things may get worse do to all the people protesting and not social distancing. 

Only time will tell. 

Again,  HOW can that possibly happen.  That’s when the virus will surge again.  Please stop dreaming and face reality

We visited Vietnam a few years ago. Found the people to be friendly, kind and generous.  For a poor country the people are very respectful of those visiting their country.  i can see how they easily adapted and were able to fight off covid. 

The world can learn from them. They just go with the flow. and they got it right: We as a country are too good to listen to better judgement.  We will have to go back into lockdown again.  

No, the only casualty most likely will be NCL. they had cash flow issues prior to this outbreak.  They probably will be bought out in a hostile takeover.  Everyone else has the cash to keep every third light on for 12-18 months.  

With Cunards press release today.  It does not look for ANY summer cruise to happen.  
Will the other follow?  Or do you think Aug 1st will still be the relaunch date of most lines?

Not too sure if anyone has any official word.  Im thinking the CDC would make that determination,  then the governor’s Cuomo & Murphy would be the final say in their respective states.  Who really knows,  Still cant get a hair cut in NJ.

According to a press conference held on Thursday in NYC. A spokesperson for the port authority was taking questions from reporters.  A question was asked about when non commercial ports will reopen and someone from the PA standing  by the podium said no passenger ships until 2021 from NY & NJ. 😡

According to the text on the description it says “for you and 6 of your friends or family“

Then it says you only get 6 park passes.  Anyone know which is correct. We are a party of 7.
And for whatever reason I cant get a reply from Royal directly.

on the RCCL app when looking up the dinner menu from the main restaurant it only shows early or my time... strange?

This thread makes about as much sense as VP Pence not wanting to wear a face mask because he wanted to be able to look people in the eye when he talks to them.

Let me get this straight, your traveling with the person who booked your cruise. And is a TA but you would rather ask a bunch of strangers instead of asking the obvious person how they may have screwed up the reservation.

Just ask her... 

I think eliminating the WJ is long over due.  Those that have been cruising for more than 20 years will remember the elimination of the midnight buffet and we all survived and kept on cruising.

Royal’s WJ in the past several years have become quantity over quality.  Also, self serve venues are a great waste. As so many people become gluttonous, ravenous food hoarders and leave so much over just to be thrown away.  
 

I think it will be turned a bistro like concept, akin to a fast service restaurant concept.

in the long run it may even lower the bottom line and become a new cruise  Favorite concept if executed correctly. 

This is one of the most narcissistic threads ive see in a LONG time.

You became a TA, Most people in this industry are part timers looking to earn money and have some fun while doing it.  The other, have made this there full time career.  They get into travel because they like it and they can receive nice perks in return.

Now you really have to work your butts off because of this “VIRUS” Well,  you chose this career path.  NOW ITS WORK, and for the last two month its mostly been Pro bono. 
Do we feel sorry for you, NO. We are all equally screwed.  I can post 100 different reasons  why your post is falling on deaf ears.  However, its should be obvious.  Just in case its not here is one for you.  Almost all the cruise lines have protected your commissions.  there are very few charge backs in the industry as a result  of this pandemic. 
 

Its like my Attorney telling me not to drop the law suit because his Mercedes payment is due. C’mon really??? 
 

“Just read that Cape Liberty will NOT reopen for passenger vessels until sometime in 2021.”

Is this true?

Hello, can anyone please provide recent dining room menus and cruise compass for Harmony Of The Seas 7 Night Western Caribbean Cruise? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Why do people need to look at this stuff in advance?

 

Do you really need to plan every minute of activity & meal before your trip even starts.

 

Scour every website, pictures, and video of the ship to learn everything.

 

It kind of takes the fun out of vacation if you over-plan everything.

 

Leave a little surprise for when you get on the ship.

 

For me, I do zero planning(except book all the shows on the oasis ships, but never go).

 

I don't look at a menu until I sit down...

 

 

 

Did you think for a second, maybe someone in thier party may have a food alergy.  Or maybe someone has autism?  Any with that you need to have structure and advanced planning anytime you go away under certain circumstances or severity.  

Or perhaps they are not spur of the moment people who like to plan ahead. Because they are excited.  Sorry to inform you but the sun does nit rise and set on your terms.  

God bless...

Your phone has a browser, what’s wrong with using that?

I find your reply to be ignorant.  proprietary apps are meant to integrate with the user in a more user freindly interface.  Apps when designed and coded for a specific purpose often make the user experience a lot more productive.  

That being said, I found the CC mobile app to be easier to use on my Mobile devices compaired to using the mobile browser when not at my computer. I would no be surprised if most users feel the same way.

I believe that as long as the food is factory sealed, non perishable your fine.  I bring my cliff bars for after workout snacks, and my drink base powder (individually packaged) no problem with those.

 This is pretty funny considering you act as though people that print plane boarding passes are ridiculous. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2557845-plane-ticket-printouts/?tab=comments#comment-55223080

There was absolutely no malace intened in my post that you referenced.  You really went swinging for the fences at this one, just looking to disparage me. Well, you failed...

And unless you are “RIDICULOUS” you would not find my post as anything other than friendly advice.  However, your friend Tree skier was extremely rude on his reply to drummer70. NICE TRY...

HERE IS MY ORIGINAL TEXT, PLEASE JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES.

“Who prints out tickets anymore. Use your smartphone or simply use a kiosk at the airport. Why worry about something that is not needed.”

Thats what she said!!!

We are boarding Liberty on Saturday.  I can't believe that it is finally here !! I was wonder about printing my set sail pass.  Is it necessary or can you just save a pdf on my phone and have them scan that?  My set sail pass includes myself and DW.  We don't have separate passes... if that makes any difference to your suggestion.

Why are to trying to complicate something as simple as printing a couple pieces of paper.  And NO,  they cant scan your phone.  Print the freakin paper, show up and stop being such a baby...🤯

Its a subjective question.  It depends on what is most important to you. For example,

1) A family may want a high deck-forward to be closer to the teen center.

2). Some want to be close to the lido

3) some want to be lower near the entertainment.

the list goes on and on.  So, if anyone were to answer your question with any value to you. Please provide more info. This will greatly improve your chances of receiving valuable info.

It would be logistically impossible from a man power standpoint.  Photoshoping pictures is not a 123 done procedure,  they must take thousands of pic during an average 7 day voyage. Unless they hire Oompa-Loompas to do the work below deck.

I called RCCL last week about this.  Was told they online waivers were removed from the web site for the  “foreseeable future”.  Now, i was specificly inquiring about my upcoming Anthem cruise. 

No explanation was offered as to the genesis of this decision by RCCL.

I’ve read several posts about using a travel router onboard.  Is thier a brand/model # that seems to work best?

and is the setup easy enough for a techophobe like me?

thanks

OH, DEAR.... YOUNG WILLIAM.....

I think it was our very first cruise, on the Sovereign of the Seas. I thought I'd be cool and test my language skills to tell our suite's room stewardess what a great job she did and thank you for making our bed. I apparently told her we wanted to take her to bed, which led to a really awkward conversation with the Hotel Director and a security guard and trying to explain it was a misunderstanding and that we were both gay. That led to the security guard asking us, numerous times, "then why did you ask this nice lady to go to bed with you!"
