  1. Where does the shuttle pickup passengers for the cruise terminal on embarkation day? I’m on Odyssey out of Civitivecchia and want to know where to walk to that morning. Largo Della Pace or by Fort Michelangelo?
  2. Yes every route online to cancel is frozen due to a glitch.
  3. Doesn’t matter what time or day. You select anytime or date you want. It’s merely a formality for the outdated computer system software they use. Once onboard you are given a sticker for your sea pass card. You can go whenever you want during the cruise with the 7 day pass.
  4. I’m 4 months out from my massage and neither the app or cruise planner allow me to cancel. We’ve decided to get the massage since we can’t cancel it. I don’t feel like calling.
  5. Going on Odyssey in 4 months, thanks for the trip report. Did you like the solarium on Odyssey? Were the street scammers in Rome easy to avoid? I heard the bracelet guys outside the colosseum can get aggressive.
  6. Doing a Greek Isles cruise on Odyssey in September. Looking forward to this blog!
  7. Yeah it was mess, there was 2 lines, we were in the reservation line. They gave us a card with a time written on it saying come back before closing. When we returned the line grew longer to the elevators.They took us downstairs where Johnny Rockets staff were trying to figure out how to help. I remained calm but others were clearly frustrated and hungry as it was getting late. This was Super Bowl cruise with a lot of families onboard from Brazil, and a lot of children overall. It was the complete opposite experience the year before, where they took us immediately to a table each night.
  8. Been on Wonder twice. First time MTD was great, second cruise line was to the elevator and long wait times. Not sure why there was such a difference.
  9. Now that I have a new password the cruise planner is still not working. Constant error messages. I’ve never experienced so many and such frequent glitches with any large company like this before. During Black Friday sales it took 2 months to get cruise planner refunds, and a portion of the refund was taken from the paid off cruise balance, causing overdue balance notices for a paid on full cruise, which risked cancellation.
  10. My password quit working. It was saved on my Apple keychain so I know it’s correct. Had to make a new one, now I can log in.
  11. Don’t know if it would fit well in the elevator, through hallways, doorways or under the bed. If he’s small enough and has some upper body strength maybe you could use the wooden slide boards that amputees use to transfer.
  12. Cruise planner purchases are all frozen. It won’t allow me to cancel anything.
  13. Hopefully Haiti gets a stable government and citizens can live a safer life. I’m sure cruise ships will return once the gang situation is under control.
  14. Steam room is more tolerable if you put a towel over your head when you walk into it. The hot steam hitting the face and eyes makes it more intense.
  15. I’ll be on Odyssey in September. Royal Caribbean usually sends an email a couple weeks before the cruise with terminal information and directions. I’m assuming it’ll make it more clear what to do.
  16. Wow that’s where I originally was planning on going, which is very convenient next to our hotel. It’s confusing because the port website and google maps say the shuttle is at Largo Della Pace. The YouTube video I watched recently showed it was by the fort, and google maps also says it’s by the fort. Maybe both locations have free shuttles to the terminal.
  17. Looks like you’re correct, the official port website says Largo Della Pace. https://civitavecchia.portmobility.it/en/largo-della-pace-service-center-port-civitavecchia
  18. I was under the impression cruise shuttle pick up and drop off was near the fort, where the small kissing statue is. I watched a recent YouTube video where they boarded a bus there that took them to the terminal. Is it in Largo Della Pace instead?

  20. Same, I’m booked for February and was a little nervous reading the overwhelming many negative reviews. I expect it to be smaller and older than ships I’ve been on, but I’ll still enjoying staring at the ocean sunsets like always regardless of the ship.
  21. We just did a couples aroma hot stone massage on Wonder 3 weeks ago. First massage on a ship. Have had several on land previously, with mixed results. Day 1 at 2:30pm was $271 including tips for 50 minutes. It was the perfect amount of time. Wife and I agreed it was the best massage we’ve ever experienced. Head to toe massage and very relaxing. I have chronic back pain so the heat from the stones felt amazing. I told them medium pressure and that’s what I got. The spa employees left the room after the massage and came back a couple minutes later for the sales pitch. I simply said no thank you, no product sales today. And that was it.
  22. Not unique to Roatan. Wait times in the U.S. are just as bad sometimes. A person can wait hours in an ER waiting room or for ambulance transport.
  23. He’ll have plenty of time to hide under beds in prison
  24. It’s not just individuals. I worked for a company that had cameras and microphones in the break room to monitor conversations.
