We had some of this my last time on harmony. Kids probably made a xmas decoration into a swastika, clearly inappropriate. I went to guest services who said to me I couldn't report something on someone elses door, only my own door.

This was out months ago, last November? I forget when the allure became able to be booked april 2026. I reread your link and cant find a date. For sure it had to be written before royal dropped cruises end of last year. I kept reading rumors before that too. Made no sense wonder would come here if harmony not selling better.

I'm in the cant part with stuff. That's why I needed the extra space in a condo, to store boxes of what I'm saving. I'm planning on using the formal dining room for storage. I admit I'm a pack rat.

Wow congrats to Brandon and sorry you were sick. I am from ohio and my BS and then MBA were from BGSU. So of course its special to me. Wow on her job. Try and relax on your cruise

We got rid of multiple sets of china I knew I'd never use. Agree breaks my heart but trying to par down. Right now I'm pondering a very old dictionary my mom always used, even has tabs inset for the letters I havent been able to throw away but no use for. Got a few little bags ready to give to my sister with some stuffed animals. I have trouble throwing stuff away.

We had some who called royal. The gi issue was on friday at dinner time. Some had doctors test and one lady went into the hospital for test. Those who called said royal really seemed to not care, if it was not covid, yawn, we dont want to know. No one who called said that rcl took their report seriously and cared. I was on a b2b is the only reason I tried to report it. Guest who supposedly was in charge yelled youc got it in cozumel. I didnt get off the ship in cozumel. He yelled cant be our food. Its inspected. My doctor treated me for e coli. I couldn't get rid of it without seeing a doctor. I've never seen over 50 people post on 1 roll call before they were all sick with the runs. Royal for sure doesnt want to hear. One of several reasons since covid I dont have much trust in royal, but I like to cruise. Imo you are on your own if you get sick from something on their ship.

We had over 50 on my roll call who all had gi issues onboard. Royal refused to take the report onboard and actually yelled at me it's impossible it's our food. It was something onboard, I got it too. If they dont take the report, then it didnt happen is royals way to handle from my experience.

No last year I pushed to 340 pts to get the solo discount. It's a loyalty perk. Its 1 of the perks and why I said for me royal has the best perks. I'm going to push to pinnacle by the end of next year. Right now I get 2 days free wifi. At pinnacle the whole cruise is free wifi. The 4 free drinks a day dont start until diamond on rcl. 80 pts. At 2 pts per night i pushed up fast on rcl since covid. I do group rates thru a TA not the advertised rates, minus D+ balcony discount, minus solo discount is why for me as a solo royal is cheaper than carnival, but I pushed for points last year when cruises were cheap.

While those are ok, I have to say love carnival pizza made from scratch where I can special order my white pizza with pepperoni. I had BLT 3 times at their deli. The deli on royal doesnt special order and make sandwiches .. except beef and I've had trouble with finding beef cooked enough. And I love guys burgers, not the free ones on royal. We had free Mongolian bbq, not free on royal. Mexican about equal for free. Carnival cut my salad bowl so for me no longer a edge. Oh and free BBQ and all the sides there my last cruise. I still give carnival the nod. I posted over on carnival where the points guy gave the nod to carnival due to all the included fast food. For me carnival wins for free included food too. I make up for it on royal with my free drinks and 2 days of wifi and solo discount.

I'm diamond on carnival and sure never felt spoiled. Royal has much better loyalty perks just saying. Also only royal gives solos a discount, sure not carnival. At 340 pts 25% off. It's hard to compare since royal gives me lots of perks, carnival pretty much nothing. Carnival has more fast food, I'll be honest. Royal better shows. I find the 2 more similar than not except I get 5 free drinks a day on royal, 1 drink on carnival the whole cruise Royal you can bring 12 cans or bottles of soda, carnival only cans. Each adult can bring 1 bottle of wine. To clarify, if solo yes that's only 1 bottle of wine. 3 adults in the cabin, 3 bottles. Its per adult. Carnivals fast food is what I miss. Not free on royal. Either mdr is not top notch imo. Similar.

What kind of restrictions. I've never booked a friends and family rate, honest question.

The surcharge is for izumi hibachi if you have a dinner pkg. There isnt a extra charge for the sushi side. I've only done the set price dinner, not the ala carte. Idk but you maybe can get a credit like above for ala carte or set price, not sure. I just do the dinner. No extra for the sushi side of the restaurant.

Stay across from new orleans, not in the heart of the city? Same thing for one of her concerts in miami going on. I am sure I could find a hotel under $1300 that would work for me.

I am one who agrees with you. That's why we book ahead to lock in the price. When I objected the loyal to royal attacked me and said do you expect royal to just eat the new taxes. .. well yes, that's why i locked in the prices. I agree with you but it's not worth cancelled over a $20 extra charge. Didnt you know royal can do no wrong?

I'm throwing out the spices and not moving any food. Buying new. And yea on the painters. Only would paint with sherwin William's. But at least it's all clean and ready for me. 10 or 20 years ago I would have done more myself. Like jimbo I hope this is my last move ever. Someone told me i complain too much about prices. I admit i feel shocked almost every time i go to krogers. No krogers where I'm moving through, publix. But I do feel like I spend money like water since covid.

And I would say the 12 month targets are higher than pre covid when they had a lot less debt, though prices sure are higher. Some of these beats on earnings I hear from various companies are beating top and bottom line, then you listen and it's because they raised prices, not because they sold more widgets, or whatever, it's based on higher prices which people are now pushing back against. I personally know these rcl price hikes cant continue at this rate, so they year over year and growth will die back as comparisons become harder year over year and yes I do look at year over year.

I dont watch that closely. Tbh I wait for sales like lunches were mostly 40% off and I book lunches and as a D+ I book that instead of the 3 day. Last black friday I booked lunches for cruises in 2024 and excursions at 30% off. I'd keep watching and maybe the 3 day will come back. I'm cheap and do lunches just because they cost so much less. But keep watching, maybe it will come back. I'm sure they have a certain amount allocated and do sell out, but not sure I see ourusualbeach says yes they sell out on pkgs.

I guess I should have packed myself but I'm paying someone to pack my stuff not yet boxed. I've packed some. Which is I'm sure why its costing extra. I'm back where I'm allowed to bend over from eye surgery, but I just decided to pay, but didnt realize how much extra it will cost. I'd kinda fooled around estimating it from google links .. it just cost more when I called to nail it down. He probably has a standard amount for a family, and as it's just me I doubt I have as much left for them to pack as a family would. All the drawers are packed, just hanging, bathrooms and kitchen to pack. And pictures and tv need to be boxed. And mattress needs a cover they said. I told him allow 4 boxes for kitchen, who knows. And the really fragile stuff in the kitchen I'm packing into my car to drive there myself.

I've only seen 3 day dining pkg, never a 4 day. At diamond there isnt a complimentary pay restaurant so if you have it probably a gift from your TA? Diamond plus has BOGO but not diamond.

Called my buyer yesterday and reminded her not to schedule her appraiser during my vacation. Of course she forgot, but I have a cruise 7 days on mariner may 6 and I dont want anyone in while I'm gone. Today googled movers and they really like one mover over others, ranked #1 so I booked with them though as always surprised at the price. Isnt that a sign you are getting old you think everything cost much less you remember. I havent moved cross country in over 20 years. For some reason I thought about 6k would move me. Tops. I dont even have a lot to move, lots of boxes. For another $1500 I could get a dedicated truck and a specific move in date. And he took off another $1300 I think as a partial pack. But I have framed pictures each needs a box. The tvs have to be boxed, and closets and bathrooms. The date can be anywhere from 2 to 12 days from friday may 17. Depends which stop of the moving truck I am. I plan to drive and stop a lot probably and get a hotel until they get there. Gave them a deposit. One step closer. Another case of sticker shock. Am I the only one always surprised how much stuff now costs?

The one on radiance they assigned to me with my inside gty was 104 sf, and only had a twin bed. Some newer ships I think might have a full bed idk. In fact I have the list of which have which beds.

Thank you for this. I have always wondered if we missed the right test. She was still alive when they started on me to pull the plug. Inspected her visually and said nonresponsive, looks like a stroke. I said I want to know what happened, not just what it looks like visually before I decide. Luckynana thank you for the wishes for my sister. Yes all my mom wanted was for her children to be happy. Some trusts are because families have lots of money, this one is because my sibling cant manage money .. or anything else. I take it as a directive handed to me to make karen as happy as I can with the money they left. Happiness.

Typically they have a meeting place and expect you to get to where the shuttle meets, they dont meet you personally and walk you over.

Like I said I think they want fares from the airports, not 3 miles or less. I had a uber driver tell me same thing, that many uber drivers dont click on the short fares from Galveston hotels,, they wait for fares from the airports,, they want the longer trips. I know you stay in texas city so further away so they want ones like yours.

I took a taxi back after my cruise and had mentioned high rollers had a stand with their cards on the hotel desk. They said this is in violation of whatever and also reported them for violating Galveston codes. And the taxi driver removed their box and cards. If every shuttle was allowed to do this, would overflow, not allowed, so they are kinda aggressive. If it was a range, then they should have said this when I booked. Another miss. I texted so when will you be here, and they didnt know. And like i said already 15 minutes late. Clearly it didnt matter to them.
