The port of Galveston is closed to all marine traffic.

The Port of Galveston is closed to all marine traffic.

We are "older" and now have trouble with stairs. We contact Special Needs ahead of time and are put on the list to stay inside where the first part of the Muster is held (usually the theater). They come around and check your name and cabin number. Makes it so much easier.

I think it is the Bluetooth speakers.

Wondered this myself as I couldn't find an obit. Here's a link to what I would consider a pretty reliable source.

Yes sadly it is true. He passed on Monday, June 26th. He is missed by his family and friends.

We also did a cruisetour through Princess two years ago. We were on Grand Princess out of Vancouver....7 day cruise and then 5 days on land. Princess has their own lodges that you stay in and it was a wonderful trip.

PS....you don't have to feel bad not going on Carnival. Carnival owns Princess.

I know what the new rules say, so please don't be critical. I have always decorated our door. Last cruise on Elation, I received the "naughty letter" under our door and I promptly took down the door sign. Others ignored the letter and left theirs up.

Evidently it is not strictly enforced from ship to ship and I will be going on Magic in March and wondered if any of you have recently decorated your door on Magic.

Also, if you have found flame retardant paper.....please let me know where you found it.

Thanks!:)

Does anyone decorate their cabin doors? Let's see some of your decor. Need to be inspired for our cruise in December!

Well as of 10/31/16 all door decorations must be flame retardant and must be hung up with either magnets or Command Strips. It's really hard to find flame retardant decorations.:confused:

Just got off on 9/1 and the box was in our cabin, M191. However I barely knew it was there. We had the king bed and upper pullman set up. We pushed the king against the window to have more floor room and we used the box like a shelf to hold stuff. It really wasn't a big deal at all.

How was the location for 191...we have it booked for January.:)

Been there done that:)

....and the banana splits!!!

Room service!

Does anyone know what this divider is?:confused:

I was in 2302 & my friend in 2306 no noise issues at all. My cabin was just under lobby reckon 2306 wasn't quite under galley, you'll be fine. Your cabin is the first one on right with white cage on top

Thank you so much!:)

Can anyone tell me if cabin 2306 is noisy? I can't tell if it is under the Lobby or the Galley.:confused:

It's my understanding that there is no fee involved. I haven' researched it completely. I do know you can communicate with fellow passengers on the ship. So easier to keep up with family:)

If you are going to use it to keep in touch with family on the ship, it is $5 for the cruise. You each get a pin number and that's how you communicate.

It is free to use the ship map and what's going on, etc.

If you are going to use Wi-Fi there is a charge by how much you want to do....I used it for FB and Messenger and it was $5/day.

Technically prohibited, but usually allowed.

Thank you. I would buy their water if it was reasonable, but $40+ for 12 bottles is a little steep.

I Always used to take water on board with me. Carnival no longer allows you to bring "bottles" on board, so I wondered if Royal was doing the same.

Yes, the Purex sheets have softener in them.

We are going to Alaska in May. I think I have the rain gear taken care of but I need to know what to pack for Formal nights.

Men....what are you wearing? Do I have to pack hubby's sports jacket?

There is nothing like a messy "debark" to put a bit of a dark cloud on a wonderful cruise.

We just returned from Splendor and suggest that it wasn't the worst debark, but it was far from the best. Of our 33 cruises, each debark has been different.

For this one, all diamond, platinum, and faster to the fun who were doing "self-debark" were positioned in the same dining room. The cruise director announced that each group would be taken off in turn in 20 minutes. Not five minutes later, a crew member came to the room and called "platinum" and everyone rushed the door. So much for organization.

My real purpose is to tell you about our absolutely best and most fair debark. This was on a RCCL ship. They used a dining room. A crew member was checking the sign & sale cards at the door. The dining room had two entrances, like most. We were directed toward one entrance and walked around the matre'd's station and toward the other door. We were then told to place our luggage in line, in the order we came in. The end result was a big horseshoe shape line of luggage, single file around the main desk.

When it came time to leave the ship, a crew member came and stood next to the line of luggage and each person, in order of luggage got up, got their bag, and got off.

CLASSICS... $8.75 plus tip

Lambie....I would figure you would know the names of the six drinks.....lol. Thought you liked "Duck Farts"

We are booked for next May on the Grand. Can't wait to read your posts!:)

We just got off Liberty yesterday......

Charger plates and table cloths were still used:)

The only penalty to Early Saver is $50 pp. Not a big deal. We change all the time.

On Magic it is open every day for lunch, including embarkation. I assume it is the same for Breeze.
