Many thanks everyone. Your comments are very helpful. Some of the staff, of course, gave more individualized services and will benefit accordingly.

Currently on an 11 night Divinia cruise and it was so quick. Dialed the number, 881and done!

I'm doing my very first MSC cruise, on Divina, and we're in the YC. We're Pinnacle on RC so we've cruised a lot. My question is how does one tip aboard? We've multiple butlers taking care of us, but one main one assigned to us. We also have multiple waiters in the restaurant and all are great. A fantastic maitre'd too.How do you tip them all? Individually? Separately? As a group? Thanks for your advice.

I agree; their broadway shows and Ice shows are amazing 😊

Interesting variety of viewpoints. Thanks all for responding.

My beds were separated on a recent cruise and when the room steward introduced himself, it was as simple as asking him to move them together. Went to dinner and upon return to our cabin, it was changed. 😉

I like peanut butter on a toasted bagel occasionally and have never had an issue. I see trays of white bread and whole wheat there also but never had them myself. I've seen jelly too so as someone stated, speak to a manager in Windjammer and you should be set to go. Happy sailing.

Recently, I did Wonder OTS and a Celebrity Reflection cruise both this month, 03/2024. I was amazed at the different variety of acts on Celebrity, namely "The Boy Band Project" (of which I was truly never a fan) and "Leslie McDonel" who belted out powerful women's rock band ballads. However, while on RC, I get bored with the same old magicians and comedians. The production shows by the singers and dancers were both fantastic and I'm not addressing them; just the "other" acts presented. Does anyone feel that RC needs to update it's lineup?

Greatly photos, Thanks 😊 🙏

Thank you all for your quick answers.

Alright, so I just watched the presentation about the new PUP but didn't see any questions to answer afterwards; did I miss something? 🤔

It was my first experience on a cruise ship too. Loved it and certainly do miss it but the memories will be with me forever. 😎🙏🥰

Any updates to this question regarding the Pinnacle Lounge location? This is my "free" Pinnacle cruise and as I get up super early, I just want to get some coffee. Not a drinker at all so the lounge in the evening doesn't interest me. Thanks for any updates.

Just off Indy yesterday and yes, it is still there and working great.

Not for me tbh. Granted it was sometimes the machine but more-so, there were no coffee beans (not filled the previous night), out of milk (again not filled at night and not replaced until 7am) or it was in "cleaning mode" which sometimes started at 6:30 am. Very frustrating.

We just finished up an Arctic Cruise on RC Jewel and we did a Northern Lights excursion through Viator. Amazing!!! We met up at 10pm outside the ship (we had an overnight) and maybe 30 of us took vans to different areas to view the lights. Back on-board at around 2am but well worth it.

I see that; thanks.

I'll be taking the TA Adventure OTS 12 night sailing from Port Canaveral to Lisbon, Portugal on 10/25/2024. It will then be undergoing a 3 week refurbishment and resume her sailing, which I am on too, with another TA from Barcelona, Spain on 11/24/2024 13 night sailing back to Port Canaveral, Florida. My question is where can I find out what the "actual refurbishment" will consist of? I'm assuming carpeting, mattress replacements, deep cleanings etc but can they do major construction in that short amount of time; say cutting the ship in half and adding staterooms or removing the sauna and steam rooms and adding inside cabins? Adding a restaurant and deleting others? I just can't seem to find out anything on Royal's site. Thank you in advance.

Many thanks. 😎🙏

That sounds amazing actually; good for you.

Was just off the Edge from Rome to Dubai and yes, we got a bag of laundry and pressed items. Problem was, and I kid you not, it took 4 days to get it back. They picked it up on a Monday, before 9am as suggested, and we didn't get it until late Thursday afternoon around 5pm. No explanation. I was not happy!!!!!

I see the restaurants but they're not giving me times for my upcoming Adventure OTS sailing in 5 days this coming Friday. Where did you find this?????? Thanks.

I did the Arctic Circle cruise on Jewel this past October and we had the UDP. No Chops for lunch on embarkation day. Was quite disappointed in that.

Nicely put; I agree. I'm not going to sweat the small stuff; lord knows I'm not 100% anymore LOL.

We are booked for the 10/25/2024 cruise from Port Canaveral to Lisbon, Portugal and then again for the return voyage on 11/24/2024 from Barcelona, Spain back to Port Canaveral. 3 weeks to get into trouble in Europe 😂!!! It will be interesting to compare and see what's been taken care of and what hasn't. I'll try and keep you posted.
