I am 75 and have diabetes.  The way I read the form is says I can not cruise. My Doctor agrees by the way. The form does not say any thing abut being well controlled  It just says diabetes.  .  Therefore I have canceled my cruise for 15 family members in July. 

You may have to buy three packages. You can link family members in separate cabins for a price.

you will be provided a copyright release so you can get them printer anywhere.   

I am booked on the July 26 sailing with a family of 15 From 18 months to 76. RCCI website leaves a lot to be desired.  Call them direct .  There people are very good.

Certain entrées are extra eg.  porterhouse, lobster, and one more.  Sides desert etc are included. I usually eat two appetizers (no extra charge) 

My family and I sailed with RC in July. Some of us purchased the drink package and others (in the same cabin) did not purchase anything. We were told that RC no longer required all adults in the same stateroom to purchase the drink package if anyone purchases a package.

Disney ships do not have casinos.

Yes. Just do not leave the ship with it

There is no charge for room service in a "Grand Suite".

I'm not sure woat a grand suite is.

Every flat screen TV has a USB connection that can be used as a charger.

My wife & I will be taking this cruise going downstream in late August. I appreciate the trip review.

We have taken two cruises on the American Queen, which is much larger paddle boat, and the HOHO buses are great. There is usually two buses following the AQ, one for HOHO and one for extra cost tours.

We will be looking forward to more tour reviews.

Has any one taken the Fly Fishing RCCI tour in Costa Maya?

Has anyone taken the RCI fly fishing tour at Casa Maya?

Book early enough to get the same cabin. Moving is a hassle

AQ breaks down often and offers a paltry amount for compensation!

Careful read the reviews in CC.

AQ will simply remove the shaft in Pittsburg If it is repairable, they will weld it , machine it, and then stress relieve it. This will take at least a few days if they can find a repair shop that can take it immediately..then they will still have to install it and reassemble the wheel. Then this will happen again unless they fix the design. In the meantime they may be able to sail downstream and make their ports on time, but they will not have enough power to up stream and meet their posted ports, in my opinion.

Yes AQ did offer are turn trip Cincinnati It did not cost thim much because there was not many passengers scheduled on the return voyage. It only cost them a little food. I heard that about twenty-five people took them up on the offer.they also offered free booze but if you don't drink a lot and you could not take another week off, it did not mean much.

The point is that without the paddle wheel, they did not have enough speed to make the ports they sold us on, :mad:even if they did not have any other problems.

Paddle wheel was brocen when we boarded and they did not tell us.

Then generator problems and Z-drive problems. We missed 75 % of our ports. It turned out to be maintenance cruise with no money back, only $100 on board credit an 25% credit for a future cruise. Like I am going to spend more money on on AQ cruise. In the past couple of years they have had two paddle wheel failures and four generator failures. This is the first Z-drive problem I have read about. Very little is offered in compensation. I feel cheated!

Full review to follow.

Great review. Did you stop at Cocoa Cay?

We did the cruise both ways last year onHAL. They call it Voyage of the Vikings.

We missed Greenland, Red Bay, and Prince Christian Sound going across because of weather and icebergs. Fog and icebergs is not good for cruise ships in these waters, remember Titanic? HAL added a port in Norway to compensate and we picked them up on the way back.

Prince Christian Sound is great. Think about a six hour cruise through a fiord that in places it seems only about as wide as the ship is long! There are many glaciers along the way. HAL charters a helicopter to fly through first to check on icebergs.

Iceland is great with hot springs, glaciers, and waterfalls. For me though Norway is better with all that plus mountains and trees.

Either though will be a great trip.

I have read that guest use the inflatable pool on the balcony.

We sail on Freedon class nd they have a pool for babies in swim diapers.

I have been on 14 cruises and have done this on one time.
