To add some humour...
TravelerThom replied to Ourusualbeach's topic in Royal Caribbean International
But I hope you’re not claiming all of your posts were new to this thread (even if they were new to you) Just yesterday your post #14714 was precisely identical to post #14696 which had been posted less than a day before. And you are far from the leading duplicate poster. Some people duplicate their own posts, sometimes on the same page. But whether duplicates or not, this is still a favorite thread 😄 -

And would be under 5k if the duplicates were removed. Not talking about posts that are similar to others, but precisely the same post. Some that were funny the first 3 or 4 times, start to get a little old, but they are an escape from contemplating Covid or politics. -

Great! You have dug out your car which is still surrounded by 5 feet of snow in every direction. How are you going anywhere? -

Voyager and Explorer used to be considered mega ships. They were the largest cruise ships in the world when built, almost twice the size of Grandeur 138k GRT vs 74 GRT. That said she is a fine ship. There is a whole thread you should read:

Packing light for cruise
TravelerThom replied to Iplayslots's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I usually bring a sport coat for exactly the reason mentioned by the OP - I find many places on the ship to be too cool for me to be comfortable sitting. And a secondary benefit: it makes me a little dressier. I used to bring a tux, but no longer even bring a tie. -

I found out on my first ocean cruise that salt air shrinks your clothes. Then I discovered river cruising and found out that air off of fresh water does the same thing. 🙄

The bank I used in Arlington (not in a government building) had pens chained to their writing tables, so you could not walk off with them. And, you guessed it, the pens said U.S. Government. The bank didn’t want anyone to steal the pens they had stolen. One time in India I was offered a pack of 2 dozen incense sticks for one lousy black US Government pen. They never checked if it actually wrote (probably did), but did make sure retracting spring worked.

Drink prices on Cococay
TravelerThom replied to vacationlover_mn's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I’m confused how Pacífico named for the Pacific Ocean, brewed in Mazatlán on the shores of the Pacific and now owned by a Belgian-Brazilian company got to be a Caribbean beer. Mexican okay, but just because you can get it in Cozumel and Cancun doesn’t make it Caribbean. -
