ONECRUISER

Though "Whole Party" is not Policy. What one was lucky to get isn't norm, I know. My Daughter got her part, rest of Family(for a negative CV)Nope!

Agree, though this is an exception as in normal times we are now spoiled. I remember Decades ago when dates came out less then a yr before my sailing was normal. Last one of mine sails 540+ days from Date I Booked it

True, was my sailing but fortunately wasnt my Luggage. Might been Miami but think happened at Port Everglades where most my Cruises back then were out of

Agree, last one happened like this fixed itself in 2-3wks

Few yrs back that happened at a Florida Cruise Port also, Oops!

Sorry, Nope was Miami

Yes, Depends on Actors. Couple these I went to the Group was always at end of Contract and after 6 months they did a Good Job. My Kids/Grands enjoyed it, but yes agree a one and done for me

As said Varies. I did B4B 2months ago and each week was different. We had Plastic Bottles, Cans and one week we even had large Glass Bottles

Whats old is new again. When I started Cruising Royal in 80's they were in the Cabin. Though Door Key then was a plastic hole Swiss cheese looking like Hotel Doors used back then. Room Charge was a laminated flexible card with Name/Info on it.

Though I had great time with my Kids, youngest turned 3 on my first Cruise as a Single Parent. The two older Kids in Adventure Ocean at nite while the Wee One went with me. After Dinner in Main Dining some Nites I'd get her in PJ's and we'd sit off to the side Balcony watching the Main Shows and at times went to Karaoke. Worked out great she went into Dance, doing her own choreography. At 12yrs old Won 3rd Place in Regional Competition. Was lucky with all 3 being 100% Toilet Trained before 18 months, definitely helps not having bring Diapers on Cruises. Back then if you had one Kid 5 or under Royal gave Pager out that they'd use for all your Kids in AO if any needed me

Funny! We did that few times, nice having Mommy/Daddy time alone. We did take GMA/Papa with us on Kids first Cruise, definitely helped at time Impossible get a 5 passenger Cabin. We had 1 kid assigned to their Cabin but all 5 of us were in an OV, with 2 Pullmans set up as 2 Bunk Beds and 2yr old sleeping with Mommy. After my Wife passed I just took the 3 Kids ages 3, 5, 9 on Cruises with me, just the 4 of us no issues and did it many times after...

At least since 90's, been on CC myself since 1997 but think B2B name/reference is older

Agree, I even did B4B same Ship where one week was Glass Bottles, another reg Plastic then 3rd was Cans

Under outside area of WJ I had multiple "Aft facing" Deck 10 Cabins. Around 7am will be intermittent chair Dragging and around same time or earlier when workers clean and set up before opening. I'm an early bird so no issues. Rest of WJ with Cabins under less issues

25-35yrs ago might only see HW 1-2 times a Cruise, usually second to last nite before last/Tip nite telling us all he did for us behind the scenes. 20 yrs ago was Father raising 3 young Kids, those Cruises Head Waiter was around and attentive to our needs doing lot extra things for us. Then PreCV there was 6 Head Waiters just for Deck 4 Main Dining for Radiance Class Ships. Was lucky got to know one and he took care of me VERY WELL for 3 yrs on my Fall Cruises. Since then might meet HW on 1/3 my Cruises, just did B4B and didnt have any of them stop by my Table...

Might be wrong but I thought Royal and other Lines Pay guaranteed Min, paid more by them if Tips are not certain level. That's what heard directly from Multiple Workers

True, No problem...

What Oasis has is not same/"Standard Fleet Wide" was our Point. Shoot Sovereign Class had DATA Links, think Vision Class also but havent been on them in over 20yrs. Some Ships Plug by Bed or MultiPlugs others no... Now if was possible add Plugs multi USB's to all Cabins on all Ships that would take care most of our needs

Agree, 10 older Royal Ships I been on do not

5 Cruises this yr so far, no issues. Great Food, Service and Ship is cleaner!

Over 12yrs was on a 13nite when had enough Points by second Day to be Diamond Plus. Loyalty called my Cabin see if I was going be at Upper Tier, I was. The Captain called me up Awarded me D+ and presented the Certificate at this gathering. She sent me down that nite to Change my Card/Status, all this not normal and supposed be next Cruise or Leg if B2B...

☠️ Ha! Feel it on some days!

Not quite there but funny thing is I got them on my April/May Cruises but my Daughter and Grand Daughter Cabin did not...

Funny thing my first 2 Royal Cruises was common to see a couple Topless Passengers laying out on Pool Deck or in the Pool. They were not from USA, but the Guys staring were
