Where do you fasten the toilet paper?

We’re at our home in Florida..beaches just opened back up, we’re playing golf and enjoying as much of this new reality as possible.

i am optimistic life as we know it will return.

This is the fifth end of the world catastrophe I have lived thru

Looks like life as we know it over.

Bummer, I’m sending my new swim trunks back to Amazon 

Is there a list anywhere in English?

Staying in Rome prior to our embarkation on the Jade November 7th.

Can anyone suggest a transfer from Rome to the port?

Hotel can arrange for a private car for 150 Euros,

Thanks

Can anyone help with options from the city center to the port?

Booked our November cruise to celebrate our 50Th.

21 days on the Jade.

Leave from Rome, then Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Oman, UAE ending in Dubai including transit thru the Suez Canal.

Trip of a lifetime, tacking on a few days in Rome and Dubai.

Any experiences with this program, can they offer reduced fares?

Would appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Driving in for Sunday departure, which on site garage should we use for the Allure and is it well marked.

Thanks

Ok...thanks for the clarification

Sailed on the Allure last year, no charge to see Momma Mia, although we walked out at intermission with other folks.

Now we are planning our November Allure cruise and the cost for adults and children is $79 to see that show.

Looks like this could be the start of charging for all entertainment

An Allure passenger was killed on a ship sponsored “Extreme Caribe Zip Line” in Roatan

The honeymooning Isreali couple collided, killing the husband and seriously injuring the wife.

The report states it was raining and the tour operators were not equipped with radios.

Photos at the scene show a very rudimentary level care being provided by the first responders

We really prefer NCL..very lively ship, lots of great dance activities on SpiceH20 in the evening.

Pool is very very small, not for swimming, but, for standing shoulder to shoulder, crowded hot tubs

We really enjoyed the food, sometimes live entertainment at dinner

entertainment was fabulous,,Burn the Floor and Million Dollar Quartet

Of course these are my opinions, I'm sure many will disagree

Enjoy your cruise

offered on one of our Getaway cruises, not the others....the instructor must hold a current Zumba certification..not many at sea have that..instead they have "latin cardio", a program somewhat similar to Zumba....hope you luck out!!

Booked a cruise this past August for the Seaside sailing on Feb 3rd.

Enrolled in the loyalty match progam at that time, called MSC recently to ask a question.

Customer service rep told me no record of our signing up for the match program, told me enrollments are often not processed and we should re enroll and follow up in several weeks to confirm

When the messboy spilled hot coffee on the captain in the wardroom..that was ROUGH sailing

Neither are really "elegant".

They are functional eating spaces, tables are very close together, kept very clean.

More like a high end Cracker Barrel without the phony antiques hanging on the wall.

Getaway...entertainment and parties at Spice H2O

Burning Love by Elvis

We were at Cozumel twice on our Sept 3rd Allure cruise.

Water and beaches were very clean, Cozumel is a long ways from Harvey, Irma, Jose and Marie

Booked our cruise through MSC and rep did not clearly explain dining time options.

Then I was told that the original plan was scrapped.

Do we have a set time, can we request early or late seatings?

Thanks

Just off the Allure and often walked the boardwalk at different times.

Never saw more that two tables occupied at any one time.

RCCL should change the venue to something more popular and affordable.

Just my two cents.

just off the Allure, not aware of any special dessert nights..pie available in MDRs

On the last night, you could go to the Next Cruise office on the Promenade.

Two bedroom suites were available for $300, other staterooms cost less, a number of people opted to take advantage of this due to their home and travel circumstances

Sailed on the Allure on Sept 3rd.

Wednesday the Captain announces that due to hurricane Irma, we could not return to Ft Lauderdale on Sept 10th.

Each day he would make two announcements, one about 12:00 and the other at 6:00, the first night we were in the dining room when he came on the PA.

It was the first time on all my cruises that the dining room was completely silent, when informed we would not be returning on time, there were many cheers and a few groans.

Our stop after that was in Falmouth, many folks went out for excursions,many more left the ship to fly home, I was told that the last flight from Jamaica was $2,000 a seat (not sure it that;s true)

We got off to use our phone and call home and family and inform them we safe and enjoying life.

When made our second stop in Costa Maya, more people opted to leave the ship and endure a 6 hour $500 cab ride.

More travelers chose to leave when we arrived for our second time in Cozumel.

On Monday night we were texted by Delta that our planned Tuesday flight homewas cancelled.

We had no phone service or wifi on the ship, we went to guest services and they allowed us to use a ship's phone to try and call Delta, with a message saying it was a two hour hold.

We then were able to reach American Express and with our business plan, they booked a flight for us on Wednesday.

Royal would give ou 30 minutes of free wifi, but, we were unable to connect.

They did set up call centers with banks of wifi connected computers and phones allowing guests access to the outside world.

This was very helpful,with many desperate folks trying to check on the famillies, homes and make travel connections, at any time your could hear several languages being spoken.

In addition, Royal offered to allow guests to stay aboard the ship once we docked at a reduced cost.

They also notified us that they would assist any guest needing help getting home of finding lodging.

In my opinion, RCCL did everything they could to help us through these difficult circumstances.
