Do all the sofas turn into beds?

Get there early, the bar is beyond tiny and the barstools very uncomfortable. We watched the WS there & it was a madhouse.

Bonaire was our least favorite stop of the ABCs last month. A passing weather system cancelled out snorkeling trip and, as far as I could tell, there is nothing else to do there. We got talked into a bus tour of the island that was a nightmare. Crowded, stuffy, driver prattled on and on about I don’t know what. After 3 hours, we begged to be returned to the ship. He said anyone who wanted to stay on could go to a beach. I don’t think anyone took him up on it.

So then I need the legal argument explained. Isn’t the person stowing wine against policy the negligent party? Always wanted to go to Law School, was never able to.

How is this Royal’s fault? Someone, against policy and undoubtedly without Royal’s knowledge or permission, put wine in their checked bag. Clearly not protected properly, one or more bottles broke, soaking adjacent bags. How is Royal responsible?

I still can’t believe cross packing is a novel concept. To me, it is Packing 101. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Would love to hear from OP.

And for parties of 6 or more, automatically added gratuities are pretty common.

I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at any hotel that won’t hold our luggage early or keep it after check out if asked. Have you actually been refused? Have always been able to use hotel amenities as well.

So OP, when did this happen? Are you on board right now? What, if anything, has been done for you?

Do you know whose bottles they were? I might politely ask GS if they could help with some complementary laundry services. FWIW another reason I always have my clothes wrapped in plastic bags.

I always went with cost. Off site is cheaper so we did off site. Last PC cruise I just didn’t have what I call the “bandwidth” to deal with it so we parked at the terminal. OMG HALLELUJAH!!! What a breeze! More than worth the cost for the convenience.

It can be done through the CP but don’t know how. You could always call. I used the Crown & Anchor number this morning & only waited 5 minutes for a rep to answer the call.

$67.99 is the absolute lowest we’ve been offered. Really thought we were gonna have to take the $72.99. It’s not a ton, maybe $6 pp pd but it adds up.

After the initial price of $62.99 for the DBP disappeared early in the BLACK FRIDAY sale fiasco, it reverted to its normal $72.99 on sale $77.99 off sale pattern. I didn’t bite. Today, a new sale dropped as did my DBP, to $67.99. Grabbed it for all interested parties and was able to call C&A number (5 minute hold) & get my daughter the refreshment package only. Lowest I’ve seen since we booked and each cabin had a good amount of OBC so I think we did very well. Might be worth a look if you passed on the Black Friday sale.

We had written instructions in our cabin on Harmony in March, I made my son set everyone up 😁

You will be given instructions on how to set it up along with log in information. He can do this on his device, has nothing to do with whose account it was purchased through.

Just because you don’t SEE them, doesn’t mean they aren’t contributing to your cruise enjoyment.

Me too! Oh wait, that’s my purse 😄😄😄

Right, what OTHER reason could there be?

Curious, barring the content replacement referenced above, why would the bottle be unsealed?

And you will not have access to suite benefits. Don’t just switch keys, get an extra key for both you and your daughter at Guest Services.

Will you be drinking it on the way to the ship??

Tiny with very uncomfortable seating. Tried to watch the WS there & it was packed (actually met my first truly rude cruiser there. Sat right in front of us while we were watching the game, blocking the TV. Said he didn’t care if we could see & refused to move). We usually went back to our room because the bar was so crowded.

Yeah “fudging” is never a good plan. I imagine the insurance company will want some type of proof. I would have your friend go get a lab test showing he/she is positive. Don’t call RC, call the insurance provider.

I am so spoiled by that room! It was a fantastic deal that I’ll never get again.
