Thanks @JazzyV for the cool days info. Will pack appropriately now! I hope your pain subsides soon. It must have felt like it flared up after weaning off ibuprofen. Wishing you pain-free days.

Thanks! That’s great to hear.

Thanks, @rafinmd ! Wishing you health and much energy for your wonderful set of cruises coming up! Looking forward to your sunsets !

I didn’t even think of that! Thanks for the advice. I’ll remember that going forward. . I was lucky!

Thanks for the Daily and all looking forward to all Dailyite contributions. Love our Days, but will pass on mini golf. Need to pack today. Leaving Sunday for Vancouver, for Royal Princess cruise repo cruise to Hawaii. Booked it for a song after final payment, and happily notified yesterday bid upgrade to Minisuite accepted. Happy. 2 days in Honolulu before flying back. I’ve never sailed across the Pacific. Excited and curious at the same time. Weather? Waves? Enjoy Lots of Sea Days? Guess I’ll find out soon! Thoughts and prayers for all in need. Wishing you all wonderful Thursday.

Yesterday, I bid on a mini suite from balcony for next week’s Royal Princess to Hawaii. I held off bidding until almost last day to bid. I kept mock booking until I was sure Minis under Lido deck we’re gone. Then I put in bid. 24 hours later upgraded - from BE to MB. Great location. Very happy with the process. But I didn’t bid until I was content that any of the Minis I saw left in Inventory would be good. If not, I would not have bid.

Sincere Hugs and prayers to @smitty34877

Geeze, Bee. Your family Seriously deserves to enjoy Alaska sights and scenery . As do the other passengers. Glad you are making lemonade out of lemons. Enjoy the train trip!

I have no idea under what Passenger circumstances this has to be paid. Just posted what was in my cruise contract today. Like I ended my post above, I wonder if Royal in good faith asked to have it waived for the Passengers under a Medical waiver? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Hope OP takes the suggestion to write Bayley’s office I would expect it to be waived under the circumstances.

Yes, I just checked in for my coming cruise, and looked in the cruise ticket contract: (9. H) 9. PASSENGER’S OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH AGREEMENT, APPLICABLE LAWS, AND RULES OF CARRIER; QUARANTINE; INDEMNIFICATION: … h. Passenger acknowledges that for certain voyages, such as a round-trip voyage commencing in a United States port, the Passenger must complete the entire voyage and that failure to do so may result in a fine or other penalty being assessed by one or more governmental agencies. Passenger hereby agrees to pay any such fine or penalty imposed because Passenger failed to complete the entire voyage and to reimburse Carrier in the event it pays such fine or penalty. so - not signing the form does not make the charge invalid. Still, I wonder if Royal in good faith asked to have it waived for the Passengers under a Medical waiver?

Thats disappointing, wasn’t yesterday’s test negative? . hope you are feeling well. Glad that at least you can go out and enjoy with a mask.

Happy Saturday, and thanks to all for today’s Daily and info wishing all is well and safe for @kazu and Ivan, and everyone who may be touched by Lee’s wind or rain. prayers to all in need. Have a safe, blessed day.

@StLouisCruisers, I especially love the photo of the boots lined up with flowers in them! The menu photo was interesting- yet I don’t think I could make myself eat reindeer meat. Prayers for this group who need well wishes and prayers. & peace for the families. Thank you all for the Daily contributions & have a nice Friday.

Bon Voyage! 🛳 🗻🏝 Looking forward to reading along

Yep! my.Usual.TA just made it affordable for me to book my first Panama Canal cruise, Radiance EB, next April. A great TA makes all the difference. .

Thank you for the Daily and all contributions. Nice way to start the day - coffee☕️ with the Daily. Hoping and praying all in the path of Idalia are in a safe place.

Wishing you all a safe and wonderful Monday. Thank you for all the Daily facts, photos, and contributions ! Thoughts and prayers to all in need .

NCL actually implemented the Room Service charge in 2015. I was reading NCL boards then as I had a Getaway cruise booked. Here’s an external article I found with the 2015 date https://www.theluxurycruisereview.com/ncl-room-service-charge-defended/ edit found CC post from 2015

Very enjoyable, and lots of good information. Safe travels home.

Looking forward to reading along!

Hope your sweet dog heals soon! Thank goodness you were home. One of our dogs had bladder surgery before he was two. It ended up being hereditary bladder stones, and has had to be on a special diet since then, to keep the stones at bay. He’s healthy and happy 8 years later. Oh, and have fun cruise shopping for a replacement

@VMax1700, Congrats on having this thread recognized! We’ve all been enjoying your comments and good info.

Thanks for your HaL comments!

Good morning! Thank you for today’s Daily, and thanks to all the contributors for your inputs to this caring community, I like the 2nd option in today’s Einstein quote. I’ve been to today’s port once - 20 years ago on my very first cruise. I loved the colors of the Island. @StLouisCruisers, your night time departure photos are gorgeous! Prayers for all in need, and cheers and smiles for those celebrating.

@Cruise Raider, thank you for the Ocean now activation screen shot, info and photos! It’s really nice of you to take time out of your cruise to give us first hand info! Have a wonderful cruise!
