I'm on the May 19th Rhapsody cruise from San Juan...God willing. Maybe Royal will redeploy the affected cruises to San Juan as well. Lots of logistics to be sure.

My wife and I are early 60s. We sailed on Harmony in February. We didn't love it. Too many kids and all that goes along with that. However, all the shows were fantastic! Definitely book ahead. I can offer one tip, bring a towel to sit on at the aqua show. The seats all had soot and stained our clothes.

It would be great if Royal designated specific ships and/or itineraries as adult-only, like P&O does.

I noticed that, which is why I was asking. Thanks. Stupid covid!

Does anyone know when Royal's Antigua beach club is schedule to be completed? I am scheduled to stop in Antigua in May 2024 and I'm wondering if it will be ready by then. Thanks.

Yes, I know. 🍔

Yeah...I think I'll do that.

Radiance oceanview = $2,200 with tips and insurance. Legend extended balcony = $2,350 with tips.

I'm looking at a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise in Dec. 2024 from Tampa. My two choices are Dec. 7 on Radiance of the Seas or Dec. 8 on Carnival Legend. Both have the same ports. I've never sailed on either ship before. How similar or different are these ships? Thanks.

Any guess which Carnival ship will be in Europe for 2025...maybe Venezia?

Good morning. I will be traveling from Mass. via Amtrak for a Bermuda cruise leaving from Cape Liberty, NJ. Planning to stay the night before at either: #1: Embassy Suites by Hilton Newark Airport or #2: Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan/Penn Station. The latter is attractive because I can just walk from Moynihan Train Hall to the hotel. Are both hotels about the same travel time to Cape Liberty? Thanks!

I also checked HAL's website. Each ship's itinerary matches what I found on cruisemapper.

I took a screen grab of the wrong date. This is the correct one, although it still shows 4 ships:

You're right. I didn't notice that. I just looked up the HMC schedule for that date and freaked out when I saw so many ships.

Topless Tuesday

What makes Carnival more fun? It's difficult to quantify, but here are a few: Dining room menu is not pretentious Dancing waiters Guy's Burgers for free! Friendly passengers (mostly) Just regular people having a good time

I recently booked a 6-day cruise from Miami on Magic. Good price, good itinerary, including my favorite beach Half Moon Cay. However, once I checked port schedules (on CruiseMapper) I realized that Half Moon Cay has 4 ships in port on the same day! No thanks. I need to start checking port schedules before booking.

If it's like other Carnival ships, there may be a euro plug under the head of the bed too.

Today I called Royal's automated assistant and requested a new cruise confirmation. The new one says "my time dining". Problem solved!

Your math only works if you factor in that each person will drink two cocktails per day...and that's just to break even! Last October My wife and I were on Royal's Jewel of the Seas for 10 nights in Greece. My total bar tab was $161.79. 🤑

Wrong. You just pay for the individual drinks without buying the drink package. Not a difficult concept to grasp.

I think the point is that RC cruisers can buy a drink if they don't have the drink package.

It's very possible with a port-intensive itinerary. Having 1 or 2 drinks in the evening doesn't add up to much.

I'm on the 1/29 cruise. My second time on Celebrity and Summit. I think (hope) you'll enjoy it.
