Freedom has already had her Amp.

Laughing at myself... not you.  Guess that's why I couldn't find anything.  Thanks lol

Sorry if this was already discussed.  I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.  Has Royal said that the amplification of Freedom will still happen? Thinking of L&S our Indy to the Southern Caribbean next year.  But don't really want to sail on Freedom if she isn't updated.

Thanks!

You get them on a CD or Thumb drive and walk off the ship with them..  You can alaso download them directly yo your email account..   It's rare that people order prints any more

 

If you buy the thumbdrive or CD on the ship, then yes.  If you pre-purchase the package like this post is talking about they email you a link to your photos within 10 business days of your cruise ending, which is 2-3 weeks all in.

Just as an FYI you won't get the pictures until 2-3 weeks after you sail

Going to see your picture in the Post Office for sure......................

With a nice mask tan to boot!

Wonder what happens if I book a 7 day cheap cruise on the empress or something for next month, then ask them to move it to Symphony next year

However, I have just spent 2+ hours....that's hours not minutes....and the most I could get out of the rep was "I'll put you on hold until the Next Cruise dept. is free.....I kid you not, 2 hrs +  Finally, my home phone ran out of battery so I had to hang up!  I am so frustrated right now I could spit nails.  I'm now on hold on the line for new bookings, hoping someone somewhere can help me.  I want to cx my Oct. Liberty purchased with a Next Cruise as long as I get it back.  The statement implies that is the case and they'll just give me another Next Cruise

Honestly, I am shocked... that you have a home phone

I was on the call.  It was yes for guests and probably for guests.  The6 did also mention that this was most likely until a vaccine was available

This is about as clear as the directions that my wife gives me for just about everything.

Just now, Ourusualbeach said:

My “guess” is that it will be required in places where social distancing is not practical...standing in line at a bar, walking to your room etc.  If you are sitting in a lounger or eating it won’t be required. 

Herein lies the problem... What if you are always eating?  In line at a bar... walking to my room... walking to dinner... I have found all of these things are made better with a slice of pizza.

It isn’t very hard to remove a mask to eat or drink.  I don’t have a problem with it if I can cruise.  
 

I spend a lot of time on my balcony anyway and I doubt due to distance I would have to wear one in the cabin or on the balcony.

They'll be using drones to enforce stateroom and balcony mask wearing

Not my idea of a vacation

You're talking to yourself again...

Who announced it ?

Read the post.  "Just" did.

So how are we going to eat and drink??

Masks will likely be edible and picked up from the first station at the WJ.  You'll put it on while getting your food then will serve as the appetizer to your meal.

The September 1st date has never changed. "Cruise with Confidence" only protects cruises that sail prior to September 1st.

That's not true.  It was June or July when they first rolled it out.

With the probability that cruises will not re-start (at least in any meaningful way) this summer, it would be helpful if RCL extended its "Cruise with Confidence" program beyond September 1st. Otherwise every booking becomes a "Cruise with NO Confidence" gamble.

As long as cruises continue to be cancelled they will continue to push that back

So many experts here.  No reason for me to read news anywhere else.

How does the pricing on one of these compare to the other Star Suites

Following now!  Super cool!  Thanks for the tip

Without watching the video, I think it is garbage.  I personally think cruises will sail in 2020, but surely 2021.

Granted I don't know anything more than anyone else, but that's just my opinion.

I was bored so looked up positions of ships.  Pretty crazy to see them all out just roaming around.  The circled ship is Symphony.  Dark green are princess ships, orange is NCL, light green is RCI, pink is Carnival, and they all seem to be within a few miles of each other.  Anyway, I found it interesting, thought maybe you would too!  Source is cruisemapper

Where did you get that info? That max passenger count for Odyssey seems way off, should be less than 5K.

There's several sites out there with port schedules.  That one was crew-center.  I checked a couple others and they don't all agree... so who knows.  I am probably fake news!

Navigator will be there on Saturday the 28th.

Not doubting you... multiple port schedule sites show the 29th, but that could be wrong.  Another one I checked is now showing 3 ships on the 13th of November, so who knows what is right anymore.
