How to help Mom with mobility concerns?
firefly333 replied to tigervixxxen's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Our friend used one of those walkers that gives you support to walk and has a seat you can sit on anytime you feel fatigued. We choose cabins near elevators when I cruise with my sister. -
Should have never read reviews!
firefly333 replied to KEG21552's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I was also on allure in dec 2022. Did you ask at the food bar area. I was able to order omelettes or eggs to order. I'm not talking about the ones set out, they will cook one for you too. -
RCCL Allure vs. MSC Seaside
firefly333 replied to RachLovesSteak's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Did you think the pizza was better on MSC. Sorry to ask about pizza, but I have read it's good on msc. Carnival so far has the best pizza, but I'd try msc pizza. Carnival makes their own dough, for each individual pizza. Each sauced or not as you wish. I cant get rcl pizza no sauce. Carnival does a awesome white pizza. -
RCCL Allure vs. MSC Seaside
firefly333 replied to RachLovesSteak's topic in Royal Caribbean International
$1000 difference for how many. Imo flying adds a level of stress. Eventually msc will go from Galveston, I think it's already approved, but lacks infrastructure in Galveston. I'd wait on msc and drive. I've flown for royal, celebrity, princess, and ncl. I will not fly for msc or carnival .. it would need to be free. I'm not a italian food fan so maybe this doesnt apply to me. I passed on a almost free carnival cruise to alaska msc is even lower imo. -
I wanted to try the funnel cake and freshly made chicken sandwiches. So for me I headed there. Find the shuttle and worse comes to worse ride around and look. Oasis beach or some name seems like where I was. There is also a buffet I never saw so hard to compare. Soft serve ice cream is here. The funnel cake was as good as I've read though.

Bahamas port fees and tax increase
firefly333 replied to Ken at the beach's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You dont mention that you cant just accept or not accept without usually incurring a penalty. If the non refundable deposit was refundable would make sense. So far I've seen a $11 and $16 increase. I'm not taking a up to $500 loss on the deposit to avoid $16. And yes I prefer how carnival does it. Obc for any overage once onboard. Little slivers of obc always welcome. I've only done 3 on ncl so not that familiar -

Allure also has a omelette station in the solarium. Less crowded. -
Wizard of Oz coming to Icon
firefly333 replied to lovesthebeach2's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I saw hair spray twice on oasis back when oasis was new. .. to me that counts. Flew to florida twice from dallas and loved it. ... but I love musicals. -
Wizard of Oz coming to Icon
firefly333 replied to lovesthebeach2's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Saw this a few months ago or so. I'd book just for this show. Cant wait to see it. Not that hair spray and cats and mama mia arent good but I especially want to see wizard of oz. Booked utopia and wonder but not icon .. after I move I'll look at dates. -
2025-2026 Sailings Open from Galveston
firefly333 replied to talkorpi's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I looked yesterday when I saw John's post. When rcl cruises are first released, often they are cheaper and everyone rushes to book. I was hoping for a under $1k jubilee lol. Nope. No bargains and nothing to rush to book. -
Block alcoholic beverage purchases

I think it's all or nothing. I have a hc sister who I dont give charging privileges. -
PAYING for Pizza in Sorrento’s
firefly333 replied to Slidell_Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Echo echo ... its posted a page ago. Same exact words. Same post quoted... echo echo echo . . Most of us read this hours ago and I guess you just saw it. .. we already know ... and most of us knew it wouldnt happen. No other free food at night to take its place. Echo echo echo. -
PAYING for Pizza in Sorrento’s
firefly333 replied to Slidell_Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
It's never been free on rcl. It was free on carnival but I think they started to charge because of the mess popcorn makes. -
PAYING for Pizza in Sorrento’s
firefly333 replied to Slidell_Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
And maybe as usual there were some people not affected who never eat the pizza. I rarely ate it, and then often mostly the topping of cheese and pepperoni, not all the bread. Imo if someone isnt affected they dont care if rcl charges you for pizza. Not their problem. Always going to be some who dont care if something is taken away. Unrealistic to think everyone will agree. -
Beverage and Internet package
firefly333 replied to jenny8512's topic in Royal Caribbean International
No telling when stuff shows up in your planner. I have more things I can buy for dec 2024 than for may 2024. Seems random to me what they offer and when. I'd keep watching the next year. By next summer april 2025 should be filled out more. -

Cancelling and re-booking VOOM package
firefly333 replied to Abbabug's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Maybe you havent bought anything? Sorry idk. -
There is no new rule to take effect. Its said this as long as most of us have cruised rcl. Also I posted about 3rd or 4th and answered your question, it just wasnt the answer you wanted so you asked again. Yes I've booked recently and yes I have asked for stock obc since june 1st of this year and I've also used some of it and had no issues. In this group if something had changed way back june 1st it would have been discussed and re discussed. It's not new. .. in fact I put in for at least 10 bookings for obc. Got them all back as usual. Earliest of the 10 new ones with stock obc applied is may 6 2024. I bought a meal. Acted the same. Looks the same. If it was going to be treated different than obc pre june 1st, wouldnt it have to be kept somewhere different, not combined with older obc? I know you seem to keep asking but the answer has been the same, this isnt new language. Stock obc is not being treated differently since june 1st from stock obc.

Cancelling and re-booking VOOM package
firefly333 replied to Abbabug's topic in Royal Caribbean International
When I'm online and click on my planner... go up to upper right, your initials. Mine are JK, so I click and get a drop down . Click on order history, click on whatever you bought, click cancel. -
Cancelling and re-booking VOOM package
firefly333 replied to Abbabug's topic in Royal Caribbean International
As your title says have to cancel and rebuy to change the number of devices. Cant semi modify. Rcl IT is not up to charging the difference, its all or nothing. -
Move Up accepted - JS to OS on Mariner
firefly333 replied to shellunderwater's topic in Royal Caribbean International
If there are 2 of you in the cabin, 1 for regular, 1 for suite .. 3 possible, solo in a suite. No mathematical way to get to 3 doubling, new math. 3 is not double anything. There are solos who cruise. There is a suite lounge and a suite ambassador who will help you if you run in issues onboard. Free mixed drinks 3 hours during dinner and finger snacks. At breakfast donuts and pastries and fruit and a coffee machine. -
Panama Canal Cruise "Adjusted"
firefly333 replied to cruisetorelax44's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I think that's the issue, there arent other sailings doing similar still going you can transfer to. It's either take it or figure out how hard it is to cancel your air and hotel you booked ahead. Take the refund or just go and make the most of the new stops? -
R U Punished for buying Sushi in a package?
firefly333 replied to Happytime22's topic in Royal Caribbean International
If it's a pkg you know its 4 pieces. What's to argue about? You can try but if it doesnt get anywhere, I'd give it up. I'll be there in about 4 and 5 weeks both. Booked twice. -
PAYING for Pizza in Sorrento’s
firefly333 replied to Slidell_Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Maybe because I'm solo, and have all the obc to spend by myself I feel differently. When I did carnival vista, I did pay venues 6 of 7 nights (did Mdr lobster night). And it doesnt bother me to treat myself to a meal here or there. Celebrity I feel like I'm paying for extras for 2 people so rcl pay for everything still is my overall cheapest line. No other line discounts for solos. I too find myself booking more pay venues where pre covid I wouldn't have considered it. Do a bogo or some decent deal and figure it out. Might still be cheaper than other lines? Your shell dress needs to be worn to some more Mdr dinners.
