Drink Stations On Radiance?
dolphingirl47 replied to dolphingirl47's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks for this. That is what I was hoping for. Corinna -
We will cruise Radiance next month. This will be our second of the smaller Royal Caribbean ships. As much as we loved Splendour of the Seas, we found it surprising that the only drink station for included drinks like ice tea, lemonade, etc. was inside the Windjammer. Is this the same on Radiance or are there other drink stations available? Corinna

Rita’s Cantina on Jewel
dolphingirl47 replied to captainannoyed!'s topic in Royal Caribbean International
Ironically prior to the recent dry dock, Rita’s was not listed under the bars on Radiance, but when I was looking for a bar menu on the app today, it was suddenly showing. Corinna -
Deployment 2025-26 booking season begins
dolphingirl47 replied to SummmerInKefalonia's topic in Royal Caribbean International
And Quantum for that matter. After the 2025 Alaska season, only Anthem appears to be doing a transpacific to Australia. I wonder if Quantum is heading back to Singapore. Corinna -
I think that baker may have moved to Symphony for the summer and then Navigator for the winter. The desserts were actually edible. I was shocked when to Pistachio Pound Cake on Navigator actually tasted of Pistachio. Now, Ovation on the other hand, as much as I love this ship, the desserts should win a “special award” for how somebody can create something that bad. Corinna

Speculation for Los Angeles in 2025
dolphingirl47 replied to fac429's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I would much prefer San Pedro. We live in the U.K., but have some very dear friends in Long Beach and Orange County. There also is the pull of Disneyland. However, if San Diego made things easier to bring a Quantum class ship to California, I would make it work somehow. If Ovation is coming to California (or Quantum for that matter), I intend to book for May 2025 on opening day. Corinna -

According to the Royal Caribbean website, Odyssey, Wonder and Icon do as well. Corinna -

Would San Diego be an option? Corinna -
Speculation for Los Angeles in 2025
dolphingirl47 replied to fac429's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Europe 2025 has already been confirmed and does not feature either Quantum or Ovation. The fact that Ovation is doing a Transpacific indicates that she is destined to spend at least the summer on the west coast. We also know Quantum and Anthem are heading for Alaska. Regarding the winter season, I had heard that Quantum was heading to Sydney and Voyager to Brisbane. It now looks it is Anthem that is heading to Sydney. That probably means that Quantum is heading back to Singapore. Both ships had dry docks since they were pulled out of Asia. Ovation had all the Chinese signage removed, Quantum had not. Corinna -

It was supposed to be the week of February 12th, but it changed to February 19th a week or so ago. Corinna -

Unless it gets changed again, it should be the week commencing February 19th. Corinna -
Speculation for Los Angeles in 2025
dolphingirl47 replied to fac429's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Quantum class ships visit a wide range of tender ports. I have tendered in Phuket on Quantum and in Santorini on Odyssey and it was a surprisingly smooth process. For a big chunk of last year’s Alaska season, Quantum had to tender in Skagway and that port is not really set up for tendering. Corinna -

Ever since it was announced that Anthem and Quantum will be sailing out of Seattle during the summer, I had the strong feeling that Ovation is heading for LA. It also looks like that Quantum is replacing Ovation in Sydney with Voyager taking over from Quantum in Brisbane. It would not make sense sending Ovation to Florida with three new ships there. I suppose Ovation could head back to Asia, but that just does not sit right with me. I suppose time will tell. Corinna -
Katie Knowles on Anthem of the Seas
dolphingirl47 replied to Norwich Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Katie is a superstar. We first met her on Ovation in 2018 when she was cruise director’s staff. We then bumped into her again on Explorer in 2019 when she was activities manager. She is full of energy and a genuinely nice person. I hope we get to cruise with her again soon. Corinna -
Current Captains Continued
dolphingirl47 replied to CCHelp 's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We were on the June 18th sailing and we had Captain Rick. Corinna -
Yes, AquaNation was shown twice in the afternoon of the last day. I did not go to see this. Corinna

We got off Symphony on Sunday. Iskate 2.0 was shown twice on the last day. I went to the earlier show and there were still spare seats. I got there about 20 minutes before show time and had my pick of front row seats. Corinna

Royal Caribbean Diamond Vouchers
dolphingirl47 replied to dolphingirl47's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Thanks for this. We occasionally had to pay a Dollar or two extra for a glass of wine if it went over the allowance. However, there were alternatives available that would have been included. Corinna -
Does anybody have any firsthand experience on how the diamond vouchers work on cruises from Australia? We are sailing on Ovation in February and I just had a look at the drinks menus. I noticed that all cocktails are $15. As per the rules, the vouchers cover drinks up to $14. Are they actually charging the additional $1 per drink? I am absolutely fine if they do, but I am just curious what to expect. Corinna
