Good advice, i did the same on the Harmony after i got a couple of pizza slices at Sorrentos . It was relatively empty too.

Yes there are some changes as noted , but overall , it will be fine. Enjoy your cruise .

A friend asked to see our cruise pictures . I never took any , lol .🙂 Never got my free diamond picture either as we never had one taken. We dont do pictures . And i dont want to see others vacation pictures either . 🤣

You can get pizza on deck 5 and then check if the hot dog place is serving on the boardwalk on deck 6 . By then maybe the lines are gone in the windjammer and you can get a seat there.

Symphony of the Seas Oct 5th to 12th, 2023
loman replied to dmrrn73's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Nice pics, thanks for sharing. -
I know the Symphony is in Bayonne in September . The ships are very easy to navigate with the Promenade going down the middle of the ship on deck 5 . Boardwalk on 6 and Central Park on 8 . Lots of activities and entertainment and plenty of places to eat. Check out some youtube videos on Oasis class to get a feel for it and see if you might like it. You should prebook shows before you go , and some pax dont like that. Or just show up and you can typically get in after the prebooked pax enter for most shows. ( comedy club maybe not ) Whatever you choose , enjoy your cruises !

We had 645 MTD on Harmony. We would show up at around 6 and the gatekeeper would check for empty tables on any of the 3 floors. No other pax were around and no lines. We needed a two top and were seated within 5 minutes. You will get different waiters every time , but we dont mind as they were all great.

Allure of the Seas Nov 6 trip report with pictures
loman replied to CruisinCrow's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You captured the ship beautifully through your photography . Well done ! -
We are not messy , there is nothing left out and about, the few pieces of paper go in the trash along with a couple of water bottles and we pull up the sheets on the bed so it looks tidy. We dont consume any food in the cabin either. So late room cleaning works well for us. OTOH there are some rooms we go by and look in , and it looks like a crime scene . Only thing missing is a body.😂

Have you tried a travel agent , they sometimes have group rates and could save you some $$

I book direct with RC and never have any problems . I think its because i know what i want and then dont make any changes. Only thing i call in for is price drops and that was always handled well. I used a TA the first couple of cruises and would never get a response from emails or voice mails i left. They cost me a lot regarding price drops. I will check out a particular TA the next cruise though. He seems like he would do a good job by the responses he gives on various questions.

Me, i just do without for the week i am on the ship , and eat other free stuff included in the fare.

We fly in , and would only go to Miami or Fort Lauderdale . We prefer the latter.

Who else dresses up their towel animals?
loman replied to emeraldcity's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I wouldnt worry about it. RC isnt going to put anyone at risk . I would think everything is put through scalding hot water in those industrial washing machines. Not much bacteria would survive that. -

loman replied to emeraldcity's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Im going to put my trust in RC to provide clean towels whether they came out of a bag or off a cart in the hallway. They may be replacing the towels in your bathroom that they got from the bag also . How would you ever know ? -

Are you saying they use dirty pre-used towels to make the towel animals ? -
Yes, as long as you board after about 1:30 pm when the cabins open up .

I Lost Ten Pounds on a Transatlantic
loman replied to Ride-The-Waves's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Sounds like the OP picked the wrong ship and cruise line to their liking. RC is no longer meeting their needs. RC seems to be catering to a younger demographic anyway. Fortunately, there are many other lines to chose from. -

I dont do anything to them , i just like the extra towel aspect when i disassemble them . -
Sofa bed and once a day cleaning
loman replied to coolio111's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I would just close it myself in the morning and get late service while at dinner and have the attendant set it up for sleeping at that time. We are not in the cabin at all from when we go to dinner until its time to go to bed. -
good one lol 😂
