There is still someone at each muster station (at least as of December 2023) and you can go up and ask. I had to go up as neither the TV nor my app would record that I had watched the video for some reason. After sitting through that video four times, I went to the station to see if someone was there and they could help. They were and they somehow checked me off manually (after watching me watch the video yet again.)

We did when we sailed out of Sydney because we had been in Australia several days early. It worked very well. Easily found an available washer and dryer.

He was on the December 2nd sailing of the Royal Princess out of Sydney, Australia. I loved when he would play the ukulele and sing.

Mornings usually work. Also, if one laundry is in use, try one on another deck.

I also have some food allergies (not egg). I strongly recommend speaking with the head of the dining room at the first meal and alerting him or her. Don't just use the waitstaff especially if their English is not very good. At the buffet, there should be someone who can put you in touch with the person in charge as you likely will need to ask questions. I learned all of this from a fellow passenger with serious diabetes needs and it works well. Ellen

Yup. I assumed that an IT glitch had struck because otherwise the site and app push those options and he would have had no trouble at all.

First, you should be able to add plus or premium now. If for any reason you can't do that, you add plus or premium when you board. Second, just know that the $24.99 is correct but it is for one device AT A TIME, not just for one device. Last cruise, we used that option and switched on and off which device between my phone, my husband's phone, and my husband's iPad. It worked easily and with no problem.

For my recent cruise, I paid off 10 days before I had to so I could make the reservations I wanted. The early times were all there. You might try that.

I don't know if you will be happier, but it is a pain to have the berths on the wall. We once got moved to a cabin with a queen and berths on the wall--it bothered my back (which was in bad shape that cruise for other reasons) every time I got in or out of bed.

We have had them both in a balcony cabin and in an interior.

Ah, been there! Love when I have the little faces around here, but I love it more at 7:30 am than 6:00 am. Have fun!

@Fogie_Knight would love this.

Be very careful with Thermacare. I stopped using them after having one burn me.

I hurt my shoulder when our plane landed, just before our New Zealand cruise on the Royal Princess. I ended up buying a hot water bottle at one of the ports and it worked very, very well. The sink water was hot enough to fill it. I will be bringing one on my next cruise, just in case.

I called one, didn’t think much of that person, thanked her and hung up. Called a few weeks later, got a better one and now use her exclusively.
