Does travel insurance help at all in situations such as this?

Next time you're in the Windjammer, take a look around and see if you can notice the dozens of passengers coughing and hacking into their hand, and then touching all of the serving spoons. It's an ongoing problem. The most vile part of the entire ship is right there on that serving spoon.  

And the most disturbing and disgusting thing I've seen on multiple cruises is the handle of the serving spoon actually sitting in the food itself.  I don't understand why they don't have a dedicated place next to the food for the serving utensil.

Thank you cruisingsince94!

What email address do you use for table requests?

Does anyone know what they have been charging for cabanas lately?  I believe it may vary, but just looking for a ballpark.  We will be on Anthem 11/17/18 sailing.

Is the YC embarkation tent hard to find? Is it after the normal drop off?

Bob,

Were there any tables for two in the YC dining room?

Does anyone know the gym hours?

Great review - thank you. I read about a non-YC cabin having a built-in soap dispenser next to the sink for liquid soap. Did your YC cabin have this?

jelayne - We never tried ordering MDR through room service. We did ask the Michael's concierge and our butler and I thought both said we could not order off the MDR menu through room service, but now I wonder if they though we were asking about Luminae... I'll be back on in December and give it another shot. Thanks for all the info.

I'm interested in this as well. We were in a Celebrity Suite on Silhouette this past February and told we could NOT order the MDR menu via room service. But I've seen other posts that seem to imply this was possible.

Where is the Diamond lounge on Grandeur?

Hi Andymattmom,

Would it be possible to get Fritz's contact info? cruising @ narrowsbeach.com

We have a 3:30 stop in San Juan in about two weeks. Is 3:30 local time? Does the ship stay on EST for an Eastern Caribbean itinerary (San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Maarten) or switch to AST?

We were in a suite on Silhouette and we had to be out of our cabins by 8AM today. We had a nice breakfast in Luminae and then the Michael's Club Concierge escorted us off the ship. It was really great!

TeeRick - what time were you escorted off the ship?

Tribute Bands - Two of the tribute bands that were supposed be on the sailing were not there. Apparently, Royal quietly cancelled them starting on the cruise prior to ours.

Did you happen to hear who the two cancelled tribute bands were?

We have done a food tour in Nassau, and it was excellent. Met up by the Pirate Museum, and went to 5 or 6 different restaurants, shops, chocolate store etc. Besides the food, learned a lot of history of the area.

We found it on Tripadvisor.

 

Gail :)

We really enjoyed the food tour too. Went last November.

We had 11240 and it had a pole, but I don't recall it being a problem. Please see below.

Thanks Bob - very nice!

What does it gain you at Port Everglades? We have it, but when we went through last week after an Oasis cruise they said it wasn't open (we don't know if they meant it was open for the day as we were off pretty early, or not implemented at the terminal yet).

Hi blue_water,

I'm not really into snorkeling either and am interested in a day trip from STT to JVD. I was looking at Daydreamers website and the JVD trip seems to include snorkeling. Did you do one where there was no snorkeling?

Can someone explain the "protected" rates to me?

Does this mean I move to the same category I'm currently booked on Summit to Silhouette or Reflection for the same date for the same price?

What is the earliest you can board?

Thank you staggr and karmacats for the pictures - very helpful.
