Springhill Suites, Dania Beach.

 

Thank you.

Which hotel has a free shuttle to the port?

When is the Spring Break 2017 in Florida? We are booked on Harmony at the end of February. Thank you in advance.

I had OBC from my TA on my last 2 cruises, both shown on my payment confirmation from TA agency only, not on Royal website. Unfortunately, I had to make a few trips to Guest Services on board to get it posted to my account (starting from day 3 of my cruise). Guest Services allowed me to make a free call to my TA. Finally, I got my OBC on one cruise, but never on my last cruise. So, no more bookings from me with this big online agency.

I also called Corporate Guest Services a few hours ago with no success. The rep explained me that other cruises got their compensations for "service failure", and we did not have any. Change of itinerary was done for "our safety". But as I remember, they said that itinerary changed according to passengers vote, not safety. May be we can write to Christopher Elliott, who writes the Travel Troubleshooter column and often helps people get refunds (or tells them why they can't). His website is http://elliott.org/, and you can write him at elliottc@gmail.com.

I do not want to return too early, this is the reason to use a taxi.

We are thinking about booking day pass directly with the resort. It is located in Rose Hall. How we can arrange a taxi back to the ship? Will resort front desk call it for us? How much it can cost and how safe it is? Thank you in advance.

We will be in Roatan in February on RCCL Anthem of the Seas. Which terminal we will dock - Mahogany Bay’s Terminal or Coxen Hole Port of Roatan Terminal? How far is LFK from the Terminal?

Hi all!

 

According to our TA, obc offered by the TA's are applicable for the service charge. Or does anybody have other experiences?

 

DJ

 

I never had a problem with our TA OBC - always applied to daily service charge.

Please post new MDR menus for 7 days. We will sail to Bahamas on GEM on 8/29/15.

Thank you so much for your review. Please share your experience in the Puzzle Break Room.

Someone posted these dailies from their July 4 cruise:

Can you please send a menu over to us as well? saragsilverman@yahoo.ca

 

Thank you!

 

I have emailed you copies of the menu. Good luck!

Thank you for the info!

Thank you very much!

Hi,

 

We have booked a small cabana on GSC. Is the ocean floor rocky in that area? Do we need our water shoes?

 

Thank you in advance

Derek, I watched ALL your Quantum videos and really enjoyed them! So informative and professional. I am relatively new to Royal, and I will cruise on Quantum in 3 weeks. Thank you so much for your great job!

Please post breakfast menu. Thank you.:)

I emailed you copies of the menu that i was given on the breakaway. I hope that it is legible.

 

As far as your sister:

My husband and I adhere to the highest standards of kashrus - Glatt Kosher, Cholov Yisroel and Pas Yisroel only. We had not problems on the cruise. We took along a peeler and a vegetable knife. We made our own salads. The maitre D was understanding. He brought us whole, uncut fruits and vegetables, whatever we wanted. They brought us paper goods. The food has a good hashgacha, and was brought double wrapped. We did, however, bring along our own milk and sour cream. We've done 5 cruises.

 

Best of luck.

 

I got your files, thank you so much! Will be on Gem on January 30, may be next time with my sister...

We sailed the NCL Breakaway out of NYC in November. I'm assuming that the food is the same on the gem. (OUr 5th cruise, and yes, I do think that NCL does kosher food best.)

 

Sterling is a huge upgrade over Webermans. The food was really good, with rare exceptions, such as all the breakfast omelets which tasted frozen. Each dish is individually wrapped, which helps tremendously. We found that the webermans tv dinners had all the flavors melded together!

 

Send me your email and i'll send over a pdf of their menu items.

Some of our favorites.

mashed potatoes

steamed green beans

minted peas

stewed carrots

grilled vegetables

brisket

beef bourguinione

snapper francaise

Thank you very much for your info. My dream is to have my sister's family with me onboard. But they are but they are "very" kosher, and doubt about food on the ship. Please email me the menus at inna61 at hotmail dot com. Thank you.

I emailed RCI customer service on 11/14/14 about E1 and received the following reply today:

...We appreciate your concern. Our Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms with Balconies (category E1) on our Quantum-class ships currently include a sofa or loveseat. We apologize for any confusion you may have experienced...:confused:

Our family of 7 was seated with strangers. No one asked us where we wanted to sit.

How long in advance you have to stay online to get a good seat?

Try asking at the sushi bar or a Chinese restaurant, if your ship has one.

 

Thank you!:)

Agree. The MDR had the tea box with choices. We were happy to even see decaffeinated tea as a choice.

 

But plain green tea does not exist on NCL ships. I like to drink not flavoured teas. I asked about plain green one everywhere - buffet, MDR, M&G on Gem and Breakaway - no success.

Is honey available? I drink my tea with honey. TIA! :)

Yes, it was always available on the Gem buffet for us this April.
