Rent a car with a gas engine to get to the port and back ?

We have worked our way up the RC fleet and liked the Oasis class the best . Now i dont even look at other class of ship . Makes it easy when looking for a cruise.🙂 Dont care where its going as we cruise for the ship .

I got a reminder email from RC , so i paid that day . It was about 2 weeks prior to final payment date . I also had a personal reminder about the same time to pay . I never rely on others to do their job properly , so i do it myself. Nobody can look after me better than myself.🙂

Its good practice to pay it off earlier than the final day , just in case something goes wrong with the payment and it doesnt go through. I do what you do also , why leave it until the last minute.

Oh , they added a floor lol . I was in a crown loft on the Allure recently, and that was on the 17th floor . Thanks for the info. 🙂

The smaller ones are crown loft suites

I had a TA that would totally ignore my calls . Lost many dollars on price drops on a particular cruise. After that i booked direct with RC , as they were responsive with price drop requests. Having said that , i will contact a TA with my next cruise , and inquire about group rates , response times , royal up , and what ever else i can think of.

I have gotten two emails this week a few days apart . im about 75 days out

I hope you are right with Icon taking customers away from other ships. Other ships are what i am interested in and hopefully prices will drop on them.

I previously referred to that orange thing looking like a freight elevator stuck on the side of that ship. Icon still wins it though as pure ugly . Just saw a video of it and now i am less inclined to sail on it.

For me also would be a cruise out of curiosity , no rush to sail on it yet with the inflated prices . We settled on Oasis class , after having sailed several of the other classes . It would be a one and done for us also .

I had a bad TA and started booking on my own several years ago . I go on the RC website , select cruise and cabin by doing a mock booking and then call RC and book direct with them. They will take your credit card info and then send you a confirmation via email shortly after you hang up the phone. You will get a reminder email to pay off the remaining balance when it becomes due. You can book all your activities yourself ( depending on the ship ) on the website. If there are price drops you can call RC direct and they will apply the credits and send you an email with new amounts owing. ( I check the cruise price i booked by doing a mock booking ). Having said that , i will try a travel agent next cruise as the pricing has gone up dramatically this year. I will inquire about group rates. Cheers !

Agreed , its ugly . lol 🤣

They were good a few years ago , i am not a fan anymore . Way overrated in my opinion. The salad bar was good though.

One and done for me too , i did the free one several years ago. Took a few pics , looked at them and then deleted them, nobody else wants to see them anyway.🙂

That would be a very good idea , provided they are unlimited free specialty coffees . Then they could use the diamond lounge space for some revenue generating venue. Maybe another smoke free casino ?

I like wearing shorts to dinner too.😁

I print my luggage tags so the porter can attach them to my luggage , a copy of my insurance , boarding pass, and the page with the set sail pass on it. If i could, i would print the whole internets , but i dont have that much paper.😂

Me likes, LOL A Canadian defending the NFL and an American showing some love for the CFL .😀

The field is so big in the CFL , its just a matter of time before the receiver gets open , and with no pass rush , the QB has all day to throw the ball. And dont get me started on the size of the end zone , lol . 😀 The CFL is truly a different game ,I didnt think anyone south of the border had any any interest in the CFL. Lots of NFL fans up here .

Run , pass , kick . Its tougher to get 10 yards in the NFL, hence ... 4 downs . 😄

Im Canadian and i can honestly say i have never watched a CFL game ever. I watch USA college and NFL games extensively though.

I got a reminder from RC about 3 weeks before final payment due date. I paid it a week later on line and got a confirmation email about an hour later. I booked direct with RC and didnt use a travel agent for this cruise.

the ability to shout down my drink order. LOL 🤣

We usually get two tops in MTD and have had solo cruisers several times next to us by themselves. We always end up chatting with them and have nice conversations if they are receptive.
