Changeover Day on Back to Back Cruise
RFerrington replied to KerryJTaylor's topic in Royal Caribbean International
One thing to keep in mind...but it doesn't sound like it will apply to you....once you get off the ship, you will not be able to get back on until the ship begins reboarding. IOW, you cannot get off and get right back on. Sounds like you will be spending some time away from the ship, so this shouldn't affect you....just something to keep in mind. -
Congratulations on making D ! It's a great hurdle to surpass. If you are talking about the self-service coffee machines in the Crown Lounge, yes, it is all self service. No one to tip unless you just want to tip the folks who come and go during the day, servicing the machine and food area. Access to the Crown Lounge (and therefore, to the coffee machine) is 24 hours. It's never "closed"...however, please note that the machine is NOT serviced during the late/early hours and is often out of service due to needing to have the grounds dumped and/or needing to have beans added or needing milk. All of those supplies are locked up so once the machine goes "down" for whatever reason, it will stay down until staff come in the next morning to get it all up and running again.

This was my interpretation as well.

You can definitely request the same Genie. I feel that if they gave that Genie all 3 of those rooms, this would probably be his/her only SC guests but who knows....

We were in the GPS on OA a few years ago. It is an awesome suite ! ...the nicest one we have ever stayed in...realizing that we have never stayed in any Royal suite, much less a RLS. The GPS is HUGE. The balcony is a bit disappointing - it's very narrow - but it was more than adequate for us. One caution - it can get VERY noisy out on the balcony as the noise from the pool deck seems to drive straight up to that suite. Other than that.....enjoy it !

Thanks. I meant to erase my question (since I saw that you are on OA when I re-read your post) so apologize.

Genies are just people....so you get some good ones and a few that may not meet your expectations. Which ship will you be on, @theycallmedp ? I think you will find that the vast majority will be in your category #1 - overachievers. I have never personally heard anyone say that their Genie was "hard to find"....not saying it hasn't happened, of course. I do think that the Genies are relying more, these days, on the WhatsApp and that this can make the service seem a bit more impersonal but frankly, it is pretty rare for anyone to have a request denied by a Genie. They go out of their way to make their passengers happy so it's rare for them to say "no". Have some of the "rules" changed over the years ? Yes. Currently Oasis has some of the best Genies in the fleet. I don't think you will have any issues at all.

Do all balcony rooms have sofa beds?
RFerrington replied to Tin can's topic in Royal Caribbean International
...and some non-connecting cabins have love-sea size sofas/hideabeds. We were recently on Radiance in a 1D balcony room. Not only did it have a loveseat-sized sofa (which would have pulled out for a single bed if we had needed it) but it also had an obstructed view. We were not at all happy with this room. -

IMO the best part of this letter is the part where they claim they will advise Pinns 48 hours prior to embarkation if there are going to be any restrictions to the SL. They have never given any advance notice up until now. It would be nice if they begin doing that. At least you’d have some “hint” that you may be excluded. This does seem to be a puzzling change, with the recent emphasis on DE-crowding (I know that’s not a real word) the SL/CK. It just seems to unnecessarily complicate an existing problem.
