I am on Gabapentin for my cervical spine issues.  I never knew that it is used as an anxiety med.  It certainly doesn't help me in that regard.🙅‍♀️

I have been on gabapentin for my back issues now for 10 days and unfortunately so far it does not seem to be working in any ways, no release of pain or anxiety (one or the other would have been nice).  I am scheduled for surgery on October 16

great start and love the beans story, at least now you could be gone for months and he will have food.

just caught up with your great review, and happy anniversary.

looking forward to your trip, thanks for taking us along

looking forward to following you and hear how the Marriott works out for you

What I wonderful review, just discovered it and enjoyed every words,  I give you so much credit for booking such a trip for 7.

looking forward to following your adventures and reading about the celebrity and Oceania

Yes, I was charged for the 5th person when I made the booking over the phone, and all 5 were refunded.

I am really sorry that must have been so disappointing on your anniversary; the least they could have done was give you dinner at a restaurant of your choice

I am curious when you booked the 5th person did you pay for the dinner then?  and did you get your money back for the 4 of you that had booked?

I've never purchased the Wi-Fi package but may do so for my upcoming trip for various reasons.

 

1) Is $20.99 a good price? It's "on-sale" (haha) @ 25% off.

 

2) Will I be able to access NetFlix and my DVR recordings (Comcast Xfinity) from my laptop? I know while in the USA I can but I seem to remember people having difficulties when out of the country.  Not sure if that is still a "thing".

 

Normally I don't watch TV or movies while on vacation. Even the cabin TV is hardly on except to watch the cruise director's show. But this trip may be different so I'm trying to be prepared.

 

it is not a great price but not that bad either,  and yes you will be able to stream Netflix, we have done zoom meetings with it,

what a great start thanks for sharing

Lucy is doing Lucy things tonight. 
 

I love your cushions where did you find them?  I need new one for my chairs but only find very skinny one,   and Lucy showcases them very well

Just booked a boat tour of Cinque Terre for the last day. Everyone says it is a bucket list item to see but didn't want to fight trains, hot/humid weather and overcrowding on the last day of the cruise. It goes by all the towns, stops for an hour or so at one and swimming. Small boat-up to 8 people. $128 a person. With the train pass being like $37.00 plus all the hassle, decided to enjoy the last day without fighting the heat and crowds as much.

Which tour did you book, that looks like a great way to see the villages

All those grandkids are growing up too fast.   We wonder how long it will be before they don’t want to spend time with the old folks anymore.  
 

with the relationship that you have with your grandkids I don't think that will ever happen, too many amazing memories with you, they will want to keep going on vacation with you,

How upscale is 150?  I bring cocktail type dresses, mid-calf not formal and my husband brings slacks with a dress shirt.  Not sure he would want to dress up more then that and I really don't want to have to find a formal.  

You will be fine, it is a very nice restaurant but certainly not formal.  

really looking forward to your B2B2B and the different suites, what a fun trip

what a great start, looking forward to following you, Rome is a gorgeous city.

We've never been to Maya Chan. We watched some videos and the facilities look great, but the water looks brown and murky in all the videos we watched.  What did the water look like when you were there?

we were there in January and loved it but the water was very murky, they were constantly cleaning and getting rid of the sargassum but did not help much, that being said I would still go back,

Sounds like an outdated version of the app, or just a logoff/log  back in issue. Do you have the Celebrity app as well? If so, try that one instead (login is identical to the RCL app login). If all else fails, remove the RCL app and re-install it.

Too bad. However, you might try removing the Royal app, then reloading it.

I think that you are both right, I do have a really old I-phone and need to update it, I did reinstall the App but that did not work, and I could not download the latest version of the App, thanks for your help.

You have to add silver sea. OK, here is what I did, step by step:

Click your Royal app and see your page for your next cruise.

Swipe left to see your loyalty status, not the bonus one.

Click on the loyalty status square.

Click on Loyalty Match to see your Royal and Celebrity matches.

There should be the info right there below those 2 matches to add Silver Sea.

 

If that still doesn't work for you, I guess you'll just have to visit the Loyalty Ambassador on your next cruise to get Silver Sea added. Hope that works for you! Happy cruising!

 

it seems that my app has not upgraded to the new tiers when I look at it it shows that the match to Celebrity from Diamond to pinnacle is all elite on celebrity so not showing the new matches, and there is no silver sea available.  Oh well Royal IT at its best.

Did you read post #449 with success or do you need further explanation?

Still don't see it, I already had matching status with celebrity and when I go to my loyalty I see both Royal and celebrity but no silver sea

1 hour ago, orville99 said:

Not yet. If you go into your RCL app and swipe right to bring up your personal info, there is a link to the match program. Just click on that to add Silversea membership.

I do not have anything about silver sea in my profile just shows Royal and celebrity.

Good for you. I am still a lowly Diamond/Elite. Trying hard to get to D+ but it’s going to take a while unless they offer another double points promotion which I doubt we will ever see again.

We should be Diamond Plus by next march which I am excited about as we have a transatlantic in October.

t will be nice to match to elite plus even though it seems that the Royal benefits are better for the way we cruise I do like the 4 soon to be 5 drinks anywhere at anytime.
