ONECRUISER

What do you mean, Solarium Roof? Almost every sailing on Radiance Class I've see the Roof open at least once, inc 8 out of 9 Cruises in last yr

Been couple threads on this. Those that don't know requests by email are supposed be sent only 2-3wks from Sailing. Unfortunately this is now typical response now, guess better to call for special requests

Agree, no set time. Seen same myself where one well over 1 yr available to Book and one at 6 Months from Sailing and not all online/on app options available

Wasn't 2 when my Sister was newborn. Mom would get call I was 2 houses down at my Aunts. Or from corner store 2 blocks away at the Grocery Store where I'd parked my Trike at the loading docks with the trucks and was in store pushing around one the small kid carts. Was tied to a tree with a 6ft leash and at times to my Bed. Stuff that wouldn't fly now

Same here, like plan and Control all. Except for the same Royal PVP I had 2015-2018 haven't used a TA in 25yrs

Did 6 Cruises out of Miami last yr, on 3 of them Self Assist didnt even start until 725-750. Even Cruises out of Port Everglades on non-Oasis Class have had similar experiences many times, then getting to FLL around Holidays multiple times Lines out the Door. Last time was Dec 23 and they were telling some that missed Flight they "might" be home by Xmas. If Booking Early Flights as said above have a plan B like make sure Airline your on has additional later Flights in day just in case, likely cost you $$$ but hopefully they are not Full if needed. I don't mind wait at Airport and normally Fly out between 1:50-2:30

Was very fortunate, 3 Kids and not a one would run away from us or act up while out. Now at home...thats where the Fun began and they made up for lost time

Though it Depends, 10% are now Year round where even my Kids and now Grands always get 2 weeks off. Lived/Stationed all around the Country where some always got first week April off, others different same week and then some more always closer or over the ever moving Easter Date. Teacher's Union's control this quite a bit. Also we now have highest amount ever Home Schooled they can take Vacations when and as long as want

If you are sick and Quarantined Royal gives Credit for those Days. Seen this for CV and Noro related. Even when tests for CV are all Negative

Yes, Boarded Cruises after they have done deep cleaning and Delay get to Cabins. I never worry, compared to another Cruise I feel safer onboard here with any additional Protocols

And that's the problem here. Fellow passengers can make the Cruise. Use to Cruise Peak Months every yr. Last 21yrs have only done longer Sailings, off Season on older Radiance Class Ships(use to be Vision). Usually about 80% Capacity, no Family/Kids running around and no fighting over my Favorite Seats around the Ship. I let my Kids/Grands enjoy the Summer Cruises on newer ships without Papa joining. Though do feel for those don't have this option

Depends. Shoot I booked a 2bd/2Ba SOLO, same with a3 and 4 person. Some Ships restrict when Dates released others it's available from day one

Use to Cruise over 4th every year, American Meal Menu like they do every week one nite of almost all Cruises

Same, 2 my Royal Cruises are more then Double from what I Booked 560 days before Sailing. But even the other ones I have Booked, Double from 2022. High Demand, High prices

That you are aware of. Common issue, most time you don't know there is Noro on your Cruise. Then when hits certain level cases they add extra cleaning, unless they have that number cases onboard you are never aware. Someone brought it on, no way to stop it from happening. Sorry for you, make sure you got credit for your downtime if you didn't. My Daughter had Cold last Fall, quarantine until 2 neg CV Tests and she received $$$ for those 2 days.

Was on 5 Brand New Royal Ships back 22-35yrs ago, Ken was on 4 of them along with same Capt.(forget his name) Back then they were like the start up Team for new builds. Along with them they'd take Top 10% best of Crew from other Ships to Train up new hires

Correct. On Both Oct 2023 and 2024 Radiance PC Sailings myself

Agree, on my first Holland America this Thanksgiving. Doing 18nite with 6 stops 5 are HI Islands(6days) and is RT to/from San Diego. Best part was only $25 down. Wish Royal did similar Cruises like other lines.

Great Option

Same here. Except couple 6 & 8 niters part of B4B last yr it 's been 22yrs since last time I did a Cruise less then 10+ nites. But even back in 90's Royal did lot of 3, 4, and 5 nite Cruises. Once did a 5 nite Bahama Cruise out of Port Canaveral. Would be putting along at 3kts during day and one nite we were at a dead stop. It woke me up as weren't tipping but whole Ship rocked side to side.

Pacific Princess. Tonnage 20,636 GT

$6-10(tax & Shipping inc) Walmart or Amazon. Single Father I Raised 3 girls now with 4 Grand Daughters that's all I've done last 32yrs is Buy young Girl Clothes. This at least once a Month if now weekly

Agree, Sovereign was the first "Mega" Cruise Ship and Largest Cruise Ship at the time. Was on her then in 1988 looking down on the Tiny Carnival, NCL and Princess Love Boat sized Ships. All these holding about 1/4 passengers what Sovereign was. She was Huge compared to others. Funny thing is most my Caribbean Stops then through 90's were Tender ports when most(might been all) Royal Ships inc Voyager Class were carrying their own Tenders. Now with Island stops having these can't remember now last time I was on a Royal Tender.

I stay onboard most Port days. Doesn't effect me, don't Smoke but those that do sit in Casino Smoking all day. Issue is they Ban it as said there is nowhere onboard to Smoke on Fuel days

To go with my Long Sleeve Tank Top and Thigh High Boots 😁
