ONECRUISER

Know you are kinda new here but this is how these Threads go. Talking about updates to Ships before New Released, what has been removed/replaced by then. I'm one the Original Members, been on Cruise Critic myself since 1997. Understand this is one the few online sites that has remained civil and there are Rules on here covering this. Please be nice

True. Hard to believe in few Months it will be 25yrs since first time I was on Voyager eating at JR. First Royal Ship to have Pay Restaurants and also my first Balcony Cabin.

My Fathers side the Family arrived in 1682, my other side was already here 😁

Funny you should say that. Was riding to our Cruise in Ft Lauderdale with couple Families from one European Countries, Can't remember which one's. They were getting worked up, scared, thought something had happened. Thy couldn't understand why so many Security/Cop Cars with lites Flashing. The Armed Security at the Port including some Automatic Machine Guns. Can understand if new them them. Told Them this is a Monday at Port Everglades, like every day... First time I went to Mexico, and many times after would see them carrying M-16's, same Weapon I used at the time

Thanks. At least 3 times in last 30yrs for unrest and even Civil War mine were Canceled. One year I was to stop there on a Cruise, canceled and my US Army Buddies were about to Land on Island

Unknown yet, some yrs better then other's. Soft Drinks at times have Deal if you Combine with Internet for whole Cruise get some off. Year before Covid Soft Drinks went up to $10.50 a Day and then there was Sale bringing cost back down. Otherwise no Sale on them. Cabin Sale, not usual/likely with Ship Cabin Sales so high

What Ship? Some are easier then others for Hammock. Cabin type and number if known also... Radio, had some yahoo trying listen to music and watching TV while we were going threw Panama Canal locks. I called Security, they had him turn it off

Understand, but for me at this Level Benefit and the Discounts last couple yrs savings I've averaged 1 out of 4 to 1 out of 3 my Cruises Free. During CV most my Cruises Booked there was no Single Supplement at all, though 3/4 those Booked Cruises ended up getting canceled anyway

Sadly pretty Common. Last Fall Cruises, 4 mine Changed, 3 with one less night, all price protected no Compensation. Happened yr before also on 2 others of Cruises, though were CV canceled anyway

Yeah the days of every night Midnight Buffets and all night Pizza, Hot Dog, Hamburger and Fries have ended. Years ago I'd run up Solarium at 5am and get some Pizza or Hamburger for Breakfast

Agree. Besides that where I'm at couldn't take Kids more then 3hrs away or out of State w/o Ex's permission. For Cruise might want ask your Attorney

True, but can't complain. For me still score pretty good deals with C&A Solo 340+ along with Military Disc about 1/3 the time. Only low level on multiple other lines so hard for them get close to prices I get on Royal

Later, no issues. Few Months ago Miami was checking times and Sectioning us off in Groups. Seen this at Tampa last Fall. Ship was delayed and they made new passengers wait outside the Fence for a while

On Radiance Class I observed more Gluten Free items choose from in WJ then Main Dining though they will have some there also. Hopefully someone else on here can update you on current selection for Adventure. Daughter eats 100% GF Diet and she Cruises twice a yr

True. Though long as they keep giving me generous FCC for onboard issues I'll keep sailing them 😁

Aft Radiance Class Deck 7 can be loud from Clubs til 10:30-11pm. Though have done above Theater on NCL and Below Theater on couple older Royal Ships with no issues

Know it's common issue for yrs Leaded or Unleaded Coffee getting mixed up by Employees, seen it many times even by my own workers

Reminds me issues had over Decade ago. Was taking Repo Open Circuit Cruise Boston to Florida. Traveled out of Country before but that was for Military, Cruises, Canada and Mexico and never had Passport, but had a Enhanced DL. At Check in multiple people said I would not be Cruising today. Was sitting with Group others that only had Reg DL. They didn't Board, I did

I've found at times that discounts 340DP cant be applied online first 1-2 days. Made it hard for me to decide what real price is and if should Book until know. This happened to me on longer PC and Repo Cruises the nite they opened in 2022 and 2023... Good Luck!

I'd bet many to most Restaurants that serve Crab Cakes call them that though they inc some or all Imitation, it's nothing new.

True though 39 as Grand Parent far off. My SGT in ARMY he became Grand Father at 32, now that's a Wow!

Though Jumping/Falling is really nothing new. "Total of 212 overboard incidents on Cruise Ships from 2009 to 2019. But of those hundreds who went into the water, only 48 were successfully rescued" ...I remember one from years ago, Senior Citizen on return leg of Cruise packed his Suitcase in his Cabin and jumped. Was a while before they even realized he was Missing.

True but they are not really Side by Side. On Serenade Starting in Tampa B4B ending in Boston THEN shoot to West Coast and Start a B3B on Radiance ending in Tampa

Sure, rub it in! No happy for you all. Can't do World Cruise but couple days ago counted it out and just on Serenade I've done 268nites(so far). Going on her for all of Sept inc Repo then moving over to Radiance for Oct... Going to enjoy this Class until it's gone

When North Star came out was lot complaints why have to be weighed, it's limits are also for possible for rescue. If breaks and you are stuck the equipment used to lift and lower you is reason for max weight of one person. To OP almost all Water Parks ans Amusement Parks have Height, age and weight limits, Disney, Universal, Six Flags, ect. Even NCL and Carnival have limits on their's and I'm sure Royal didn't pick a random number out of thin air without reason
