Couldn’t do a room charge. Might have picked a bad machine though.

This didn’t work on Grandeur

I experimented with lower sugar mocktails on Serenade. A good one was Pellegrino with a bit of passion fruit syrup and limes. Also sampled Pellegrino with a splash of mango or strawberry daiquiri mix and limes. The best was the mango. Ginger Beer is delicious too - not low in sugar.

Led Zeppagain was on Oasis early 2022. They performed in the Aqua Theater as well as indoor venues

I bring collagen peptides on every cruise without any issue. I can’t imagine anyone saying anything about a supplement for health reasons. I also bring on my own salad dressing and almond/oat milk. It all goes in checked bags. 25+ cruises since the restart, no questions asked

@poocher look in the app “welcome aboard! Hints and tips” it’s the blue bar 99% sure you will be at Terminal G. Was on Explorer for a month and each time we departed from G

Grandeur is the only Vision class ship I’ve sailed on, did the Barbados to Galveston repo this spring. Booked Enchantment but it got swapped for Brilliance. We are sailing on Vision in December. I remember going to the Windjammer and seeing the front of the ship and how exposed the bridge wings are.

Grandeur???

Explorer still has the hot tub, although I heard it wasn’t very hot

Explorer?

I had the exact same issue with a cruise on Explorer. I booked in February using FCC from cancelled Jewel on 1-9. Funny (yet not so funny at the time) was that Royal answered the phone much sooner than I anticipated. I dialed before I gathered all my info and a customer service rep answered immediately, 10:45 am on a Saturday. Once I found all my info they were able to apply the points correctly. I had to call one other time with point issues from a Jewel cancellation. Fingers crossed I won’t need to make any additional calls. Although I fully expect to call in January for our Vision Dec 26 that was cancelled twice. Hopefully cruise cancellations are a thing of the past.

I have a Yeti tumbler with my CC name. I leave that on the table along with silverware. This has always worked for me (so far) Always get a table first, walking around with a plate of food looking for a spot to land reminds me of not so great school experiences

Our flight was Miami to Barbados, then Galveston back to Miami (repo cruise) Looking at all your individual flights, wow so many and so long. I’ll get to visit all those places without flying 😁 A 4 hour drive to Miami then spending 9 months on Serenade

Have a friend who was tested on board because next cruise was Bermuda. Unfortunately, he was positive and had to debark Mariner. The Bermuda cruise was his pinnacle cruise too😩

If I had to fly every cruise I sure as hell wouldn’t be cruising as much. 23 since restart and only flew to one

We got a second home in Florida, which opened up so much more cruising opportunities for me. If all goes as planned I’ll reach Pinnacle in October, only hit D+ February 2020. All the FL ports are between 1.5 to 4.5 hours away

This was back in 2018, we sailed in a GS and wasn’t yet diamond. I wasn’t expecting the CL to look so icky after being on Radiance the previous summer. The CL concierge said our key would also work the DL and it did. We enjoyed the D lounge on sea days for quiet spots with a good view

Will you be doing the TA in a suite?

Cruised early February on Oasis, reduced capacity. We ate at Chops and Giovanni’s and was able to get the Urban Garden Martini at both. It was possible for us. None of the restaurants were busy when we were dining.

Haven’t brought on a 12-pack before. Have brought on 3-4 bottles of soda in Cozumel without issue.

I don’t do sportsball. I only remember enjoying the pool deck with glorious weather and a great book then BOOM the NFL loudly appeared on the TV. I begrudgingly went to the solarium

Free WiFi is going to be my favorite perk! I am not one of those people who can “put the phone in the safe”

Last fall Sunday games were shown poolside.

I dive but can’t handle cold water, total wimp. I’ve seen some fabulous photos of Californian kelp forests. My mom loved Carmel so much it’s my middle name. I’d love to visit one day I have been to Alcatraz, such a cool experience

I have mine on display in our FL condo. They can be backlit and look nice. We don’t have much in the way of nick-nacks or decorative pieces there. Since it’s a smaller space everything needs to have a purpose besides collecting dust. The exception is these and I love them Also missing Odyssey from February. I did receive Jewel from March in May
