That’s about right. With gratuities, mixed drinks run about $15 per.

Does chapstick contain one of the restricted ingredients? Check the label! Make sure your sunscreen does not contain the following harmful substances on the "HEL list: Oxybenzone Octinoxate Octocrylene Homosalate 4-methylbenzylidene camphor PABA Parabens Triclosan Any nanoparticles or “nano-sized” zinc or titanium (if it doesn’t explicitly say “micro-sized” or “non-nano” and it can rub in, it’s probably nano-sized) Any form of microplastic, such as “exfoliating beads”

Not sure how to respond to that so maybe I shouldn’t. 🫢

The point is to protect the eco system not “if nobody looks, I can get away with it”

Just ordered zinc oxide sticks for our ABC cruise. Seems to be the only actual reef friendly sunscreen. Every other type has one of the reef damaging “O” ingredients in it. We’ll be snorkeling in Bonaire so I felt it was important to have the right product.

We are on Explorer in 27 days for the same “get to Diamond” reason. My rule is nothing without a Royal Promenade.

If all you want is water and an occasional soda, I wouldn’t buy a package at all. The water they serve tastes fine & you can pay as you go for soda. Unless you are interested in specialty coffees, mock tails or smoothies, the Refreshment package is not worth the money. You will have access to ice water, lemonade, iced tea, milk, coffee probably a few juices at no additional cost.

True but since you specifically referenced cholesterol as the reason you were looking for seafood, I wanted to be sure you knew your desire to “mainly look for Maine lobster & steak” would not be the best choice.

FYI shell fish like lobster is high in cholesterol so I would avoid that if lowering cholesterol is the goal. It’s fish with high omega 3 like salmon that help with cholesterol issues. Neither the steak nor the lobster you are looking for will help.

You have chosen Traditional Dining, late seating. Your dining room assignment and table number will be on your seapass card. You don’t get to choose which dining room. If you don’t like your table assignment, speak to the maitre’d on board. If you have a specific table request, email rcldining@rccl.com two weeks prior to sailing.

I would be praying to the porcelain gods every night if I tried to down 15 drinks in one day! Holy Crap Batman, that’s a lot of drinking!

We have been fortunate our last 3 cruises. Chose MTD with reservations approximately the same time each night and every time have gotten the same table and wait staff for the whole cruise. After night 2, they’d just wave us in when they saw us in line. Never asked for this and was actually a little surprised that this does not seem to be the norm 🤷‍♀️

Please report back with their response.

Did this Wednesday, got an email back yesterday that the request was forwarded to the ship and to email again at 14 days out for the table assignment. Sounds good, we’ll see if it works!

I have my “travel” wallet. I take DL, CC, AAA card for hotel discounts, Medicare/ins cards. The rest of my stuff stays in my regular wallet at home. We use passports for identification purposes.

Then it should not have been promised. Honesty in communication goes a long way.

Us too! Diamond after our 8 day ABC next month! Gold to Diamond in 2 cruises!

If you look at my profile, you’ll see I’ve been here for over 20 years. Smokeybandit gave the correct answer. Don’t want OP to be confused.

OP was asking if he got points for both JSs he booked, not about the pandemic Double Points promotion.

I never suggested that the person be allowed to cut only that a manager be the one to make that decision not a crew member who would make such a rude comment.

The crew member’s job is to keep the line moving. When someone holds it up by arguing with said crew member, it is a managers job to deal with the disruption so the crew can continue to keep the line moving. You see this as a black and white situation. As a customer service manager, I know it’s all shades of gray. You may not know the whole story. That’s what a manager determines. The crew member was out of line telling the passenger she should have gotten up earlier. Maybe you enjoyed hearing it but it is not how one speaks to a customer. It could have turned into a very ugly situation requiring more than one manager to de-escalate.

Actually that is EXACTLY what a manager is supposed to do, handle escalated customer service issues, freeing the CSR to keep the line moving. It’s not a lot of people, just those who refuse to comply after repeated polite instructions. Most people will argue/grumble for a few minutes then do as asked.

Spent 25 years as a customer service manager for Macys and 10 in a municipal tax department. You can THINK “should have got your butt out of bed earlier “. You can’t SAY it. The proper course of action from a CS standpoint would have been to pass the person off to a supervisor/manager & let them have the conversation and make a decision.

Just tried to edit mine and yes, I get an error message too.
