🥳  I like the way you think. RCL is going to need to do something to lure people back. That’s a mighty fine start. 

Wishful thinking!

Back to the title of this thread.  If the Florida Covid-19 cases keep rising, Florida will be lucky to open up in August 2021.

I really wish people would quit posting links that require a subscription.

 

And yes, even when they are supposedly free

Agree.  Most annoying to start reading an article, and you get cut off half way through it.

Probably about the same as the overall small % of the cruising population that is likely to read this thread. 

Most likely slightly higher than 1%.

Hi Just wondering if the Coastal Kitchen is available for Junior suite guests on Anthem

 

Thank You

Generally no.  If there are a lot of Pinnacles on the Anthem, they often limit the number of nights they can go to Coastal Kitchen.

figured nearing retirement years and the cruise must go on, we usually cruised 4-5 times a year and had planned to up that to monthly sailings so if RCL and other lines are not sailing we will be

inked a deal on a 72' Viking SF "hole in the water" has it all from an OS to GS to 2 JS's and lower inside cabins, sky lounge to alfresco mezzanine cockpit seating all with no wait to be seated due to chair hogs. Ashtrays aplenty, only lacks Club Royale but casinos galore at many of the ports we will be hailing. Thirsty diesels will pass any RCL ship afloat, a future Panama Canal cruise with a final destination of Costs Rica (Los Suenos) is being planned for 2021-22.

the motto we will have aboard is "Saltwater Rusts ~ Alcohol Preserves"...cheers

Sounds like a great plan.

"BOB" How can anyone forget Bob one of the best/helpful poster's & moderator's this board has had.

Moderator Clarea (cc name).  He (Bob) has over 156,000 posts.  Have not seen any of his posts the past 4/5 months.  Hope he is OK.

 Well fair is fair with the new point system, there's no more overcrowding in the DL/CL/SL lounges going forward.  Problem solved! 🤪

 

• Coal: 3-29 cruise points.
• Lead: 30-54 cruise points.
• Copper: 55-79 cruise points.
• Zinc: 80-174 cruise points.
• Gold: 175-699 cruise points.
• Platinum: 700+ cruise points.
• Diamond: 1000+ cruise points.
• Diamond Plus: 2000+ cruise points.
• Pinnacle: 100000+ cruise points. 

With this point system, not even super Mario would be Pinnacle.

From Wiki:

"Steerage is the lower deck of a ship, where the cargo is stored above the closed hold. In the late 19th and early 20th century, steamship steerage decks were used to provide the lowest cost and lowest class of travel, often for European and Chinese immigrants to North America. With limited privacy and security, inadequate sanitary conditions, and poor food, steerage was often decried as inhumane, and was eventually replaced on ocean liners with third-class cabins."

Thanks.  Was not familiar with the term. Learn something new every day.

Us non-diamond losers. 

So would a D+ and P also be included in this class?

Posters on the Pullmantur threads say Monarch is headed for the scrapyard, but she's having a rendezvous with X Infinity about 40 miles west of Aliaga.

Such a sad thing to hear.  We has many cruises on the Monarch, and had a great time on all of them.

I’ve got an option. On the theory that it’s better to give than receive, a new benefit is that you get to pick some looser in steerage class and give them three free drinks. 

What is the “steerage class?”

Come on man... we are on the tenth page of yet another diamond lounge thread. Is it really so bad if people take a few posts to offer helpful tips on how to buy booze cheap. 
 

Now we just need some advice on how to sneak it on the ship. Hmmm, no, that’s not booze, it’s my giant bottle of hand Sanitizer. 🙂 I’m kidding.

A 'handle' is a common term fot a 1.75, because they used to have handles on them.  You don't see it as much anymore.  

 

Tito's has a handle still😉

Thanks.  I was not familiar with the term “handle.”   Learn something new every day.

10,383 new cases in Florida on 7/10.

With those numbers of new Covid-19 cases, I am surprised that they opened up Disney in Orlando.

I think you would certainly get your money’s worth out of the drink package. 😇

True if you want that many drinks, and can not use DL, CL or SL.

I never realized “a handle” was an official metric unit of measurement 🙂

"A Handle"?

We love upscale all inclusive like sandals, better food than mdr, they include upscale drinks , no tipping.

Sounds great.  Never been there.  However the thought of getting in an airplane at the present time scares me.

Warning.  If you book a Junior Suite on the Grandeur, try to avoid staterooms 8036 and 8536.  Both staterooms have a pole (floor to ceiling) in front of the foot of the bed.  Makes it hard to pass if someone is sitting in the chair.

For me, I don't care about the free drinks, it's more about getting together with old friends and making new ones.

Such a positive thing to say.  Love your post.  I agree 100% with you.

Good one!  And Pinnacles will receive an official Royal Caribbean Face Shield!

I would not mind getting one of those face shields.

Perhaps the cruise line industry is about to go through a consolidation phase, same as the airlines did a few years back.  With this Covid-19 shutdown and for the strongest to survive,  anything is possible.

And that is why, on the 8th day, God created trailing stops.

I was hoping that RCCL would keep Grandeur.

After hour trading.  Good day for RCL.  RCL closed today at $51.77 per share.
