  1. Mine is a profit sharing plan. Based on how I do in the Casino🤣
  2. Remember, there are 2 versions. The free one is on port days and a charge of $25 (?) for the sea days version as it is longer and goes over the water from side to side. Reservations on the App It's such a pain. They tell you that reservations open on about 8 AM each day, but in my last 3 cruises I have not been successful. I get a notification that it's all booked up. I must be the slowest typist on the ship.😆 Never got a proper explanation from staff. This past February sail, I basically went and stood by if cancellations. Was successful. On my April Easter sail, I was raving about it to my family and could not wait to have them up on high and look out on both ship and port. Not a chance. Finally got so frustrated as the last port was Nasau that I had the D lounge concierge get me reservations for 4. Beautiful sight of the ship and Nassau. Ps. My understanding is only once per cruise.
  3. What made the launch more amazing at one point one can see a speck (rocket) side by side with an almost full moon. Would have loved to be high on the North Star and seen the launch.🚀
  4. We were in PC on our Anthem February 5 sail and the launch was postponed from 5:32 to 8:32 due to windy conditions. it was a marvelous sight watching the launch from the 15th deck
  5. Remember the major reason why in the USA it ranges between 15-20% of the bill as compared to other countries is that you must take into consideration the hourly wage being paid. What I find troubling sometimes is when the restaurant breaks down the tipping amount by % on bill, they do not exclude the sales tax or in some cases the CC charge. I know it's minor amount, but it irks me.😊
  6. The offset a reasonable wage is that prices would go up and the wait staff would still expect a gratuity. You are not being pressured to leave a tip but expect something of your action on social media.🤣
  7. On my December 4 Oasis sail there was a large table of at least 16+ diners set up. Early traditional dining on the 4th deck dining room and set up as you enter the restaurant. You could not miss it as you enter or exit.
  8. Maybe you can become a chef with Royal. You certainly know how to master a good dish.😊
  9. Maybe those posters that are super clean, make their own beds, clean out the trash, use a ratty towel multiple times or days, should place their magnetic sign with "Sleepint it off" and take it off when they want cabin service. I had a passenger adjoining my cabin on Anthem, that had the sleeping sign on for at a minimum 85% of the time. The only reason that I knew the cabin was occupied I heard her loud voice one day when my balcony door was open. Maybe she was a member of the test group.🤣
  10. I don't have to worry about it as my Entertaiment/Vacation $ is spent mostly on cruising and Atlantic City.
  11. Those are the folks that usually respond to request.
  12. What I found odd, I sailed on Anthem recently and MTD was listed at 6:45-9. I was seated in one of the 4 restaurants at a table for 8, but only attended by 5 in total. About 3 days into our cruise, a couple in MTD dining was seated at our table at 5:45. Just wondering if one goes earlier than the listed MTD time, is/are accommodated.
  13. If it's in their amenities description, then it's on me.
  14. Is that in the description before making reservations. So, what you are saying that in a week's stay, your room is cleaned, and towels replaced only once. Must be a flea bag.😊 I would stay as far away from them as far as possible.
  15. Do we know that the little guy gets stiffed. IMO, it's Royal that makes up for the difference int the overall pool, if any. Maybe someone with better understanding of the cruise line grats procedures and allocation can chime in. Ps. Talking about the normal grats and not the extra that a Pax will give based on performance.
  16. Unfortunately, the cutbacks will provide further support to those that remove the auto grats.😟
  17. Big improvement they got rid of those old and rusted loungers. Now they have the same as at Coco Cay all laid out and with umbrellas.
  18. Or $29.99 towards on board internet plan price.
  19. There was a "Pax on Lunch with Officers" event that was telling us that she got her old one reprogrammed on Anthem without a fee. I have an old one from Quantum and wondering if they will reprogram when I sail her again.
  20. I'm very familiar as to owns most of the stock. Was merely jesting, however, the company reputation may be damaged as more Paxs go the route of the social media by complaining and affect my investment. Not worried about the $100 OBC, that is a side perk and would not be heartbroken if they got rid of it.
  21. Speak to the Casino Host. The folks that apply the discount are the VOOM technicians and they go by the Sea Pass designation.
