Perhaps cabin 9062 on Brilliance of the seas. You may recall that was the cabin of George Smith who met his untimely death on Brilliance in 2005. Perhaps the ghost is drinking Jager Meister. m

On Harmony now. There is some sort of body wash or shampoo/conditioner in a container on the wall. So weird, sometimes it is labeled as body wash, and some as shampoo/conditioner. I don’t know if it is a different product. But, it is one single product. They also provide a soap for the shower as well as the sink.. There is a shelf in the shower so you can leave your own products there all week. Glasses are provided in the bathroom. Tissues are provided as well. A month or so ago tissues were scarce, but now it seems to be no problem. m

Creative and clever. I hope you wear it to the pinnacle luncheon. m

Very nice. I guess that’s the difference in loyalty ambassadors/ Hotel directors. Or maybe, you are “well-connected”. Our three night on enchantment was NOTHING. As I mentioned previously, we were offered a photo op. Thank goodness, the celebration was not important to me, honestly at that point I just wanted to get to 700. m

We made pinnacle on a three day Enchantment. They do not have a top tier event or any kind of celebration but offered to do a staged photo opportunity for us. We were also booked on the following four night cruise so they acknowledged us during the captains welcome that was held in the centrum. Basically just an acknowledgment, no other type of celebration, like we’ve seen others receive. No problem -We have our photo and that is really all we wanted. we never considered any specific ship for when we reached pinnacle nor do we consider it for our milestones. M

I sell harmony B2B in January. I think they offered us lunch in the solarium bistro. It was also open to the public so nothing special for back to back cruisers. If they offered a “real” luncheon in the main dining room, it was not on my sailing. m

No. Columbus the Musial had not returned. m

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. m

Some ships provide a nice back to back luncheon. Mariner (May/June ) had a nice lunch. Harmony does not provide any back to back lunch. M

My husband used to purchase a bud vase from the flower cart. Then the cart disappeared. Now we make a stop on every cruise and pick up a bunch of flowers. I have a pliable plastic vase that is no thicker than a piece of paper. Here are some flower examples. This week I have daisies, sorry no picture. Edited to add a sample of the vase

This week, they did not put you into your respective lines at the terminal till after 10. The terminal doors opened about 10:15. Full suites/pinnacle/key were allowed into the building first We checked in, and sat in our respective areas till about 11. Then of course boarding begins by categories. Pinnacle/ suites diamond plus diamond key and so on down. Enjoy.

Probably best to seek the advice of your Financial Consultant. m

Fine line is being performed this week on harmony. We saw it last night. m

Yesterday, here was the boarding order for Harmony/Port Canaveral Suites/pinnacles diamond plus diamond key. I thought I recalled key sometimes going before diamond plus and diamond, but yesterday out of port Canaveral, it was definitely after. m

Yes, we’ve used one to get a can of soda. m

Nice gesture. Definitely the on board credit. Many don’t need another tote or want to select a style/design that they like. Same with the lanyard, if they even wear one. The luggage tags are a good idea m

Teatime on Royal Caribbean was more like afternoon snacks. They tried to make it classy by including scones But I agree, a nice teatime is fun. m

Better book a full suite. Some ships don’t allow suite lounge access for pinnacle members. They may use the Diamond lounge along with Diamond and Diamond Plus. m

They do not ask. You need to call to make a request. Preferences were removed from the website a few years ago when the website was “enhanced”. m

Glad you had a positive experience. Be aware that many of the gifts are not available on board. Supply issues. If what you chose is not available, they offer a substitute. M

Is that directed to me? Not sure what it means. I haven’t been on Harmony since late April. m

Yes, Johnny Rockets has a cover charge. What are the ages of your children? Unless they are very young toddlers, they cannot simply eat off your plate. You may need to pay the cover for everyone in the family. It is in the $11-$12 range. m

Ask someone in the Windjammer to get you a tray. They will. Keep it with you or ask every time you go. Either one is fine I hope everything works out for you. m

No I wasn’t there, that’s why I asked. I’ve been lucky, as I haven’t experienced what you described. Except, for the limited drink selections. m

Royal can't add the tips to the cruise fare, unless EVERY cruise line did the same. People price ship. In my opinion, guests should NOT be allowed to remove auto gratuities. It is the cost of cruising, like port fees. M
