Is Royal Caribbean building any small ships?
Lady Hudson replied to latebuyer's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We do not need the “amusement park at sea” experience but we don’t mind sailing on them. I would think that all cruise lines will continue to need a few smaller ships to continue sailing to ports that can’t handle the “big girls”. I also am questioning —maybe it’s rumor — that some ports that may be closing to ships (think Bar Harbor, Key West) because of the increased size of ships. Hope any new build will have retractable stacks for ports with lower bridges. My two cents. Katherine -

Good morning. Thanks to all who contribute. Weather today is a high of 74 degrees. We can smell the smoke from Canada and air quality is poor. Cleaning folks coming today after illness and a car accident. Woman with accident spent two days in hospital. That is bad but glad she is ok because she has 3 small children. Have to pay remaining balance today on September trip to Greenland and Canada. Yikes — fares are very high now. Prayers for all in need. Katherine- 68 replies

Anyone enjoying the new menu selections?
Lady Hudson replied to dleahy4444's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Haven’t had it yet but I will soon. Just know that is new to the MDR menu. -

Anyone enjoying the new menu selections?
Lady Hudson replied to dleahy4444's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I would have to go back to check specifically. I think the Mexican night is gone, variety night has been added, a few different salmon options, lobster Mac and cheese one night, chicken parmigiana can be had without the breading. Again, some changes that suggest to me that Royal is listening to guest surveys about MDR food. I sail again in August and will check it out. But definitely some changes to the “new” menus. -

Looking at the app for a cruise this week. There are some changes on the menus — positives in my opinion. Hopefully Royal has gotten the message that more than a few are not happy with the new menus. -
Offers received from Club Royale (Royal Caribbean)

My sister said there was a list of names that was referred to. She is going on another ship on June 8 and is going to try to figure it out. -

So, my sister just got off Oasis and she was told she is now VIP in the casino. Anyone else hear of this? No one could really tell her what it means but a lot of things were comped on her bill. Just wondering. -
Sister getting off Oasis today. Said Ante Cavala was captain. No other verification.

Thank you for the information — indeed close to us. So sorry to hear of your loss. Both DH and I still miss our pets who are gone but know that, like you with Fluff, we gave them a great life. As a friend once said “If I am ever reincarnated as a dog I want to be a member of your family!” Katherine- 78 replies

Good morning all. Prayers for those in need. Sorry to read that so many on our thread are experiencing medical issues. DH is having a virtual appointment with his endocrinologist today. Won’t be a great appointment—blood work came back with a high A1C. I can’t get him to stop drinking sugared drinks and no amount of medications can counteract that. We shall see what the doctor says today. Our next cruise is 8/17 on Vision of the Seas. DH would like to go on a trip sooner than that but there does not seem to be anything available without paying an arm and a leg - even if an accessible became available. But I will keep looking. Cruise vacations are really the only way DH gets to go anywhere these days. We are also scheduled for a 14 day cruise to Greenland and Canada in September. I decorated our front yard yesterday with mini flags for the upcoming holiday. Looks like the weather will be great for a barbecue on Monday. Regarding escargot - love it. My twin put a large can of escargot in my Christmas stocking this past year. After “doctoring” it up with butter and garlic it was quite good. Thought we were on a cruise! Have a great day.

Good morning. Prayers for all in need and prayers for wisdom for political leaders here and around the world. Not much going on lately. DH needed to get blood drawn yesterday so that meant a trip in the car. Always an adventure. BIL getting gel injections in both of his knees on Thursday. We are all hoping for this procedure will help with both mobility and pain management. Cleaning people coming today and have to get DH ready for his excursion with his caretaker — grocery shopping — his favorite thing! Best wishes all and have a great day. Katherine- 108 replies

Good morning to everyone. Lovely day here in PA. Sun is shining and temperature is moderate. Monthly card club today - pinnacle. One member - the one who invited me to join in 1980 - is turning 80 so I am bringing a cake. It is lovely now that we go to a local restaurant to play. They give us a room and all we have to do is buy lunch. No one has to host at their home which is nice. Thanks to all who contribute to this thread. Such a nice way to start my morning.

Good morning. Prayers for Cruzin Terri’s DH surgery today. Lovely day yesterday for the holiday. Kids were here — DS Brian picked up our take out dinner so that was nice. DH said to me at about 11:00 pm “I didn’t get any of the lasagna”. Of course he did and I had to tell him he didn’t remember because he was too busy “sharing” with DD’s dog! During the day DH said to me that he wanted to go on a cruise this summer. He was last on a ship in February and besides weekly grocery shopping he rarely leaves the house. So I head to the phone and the Royal Caribbean call center. Lo and behold I actually find an accessible cabin on a ship out of Baltimore on 8/17. Success! Left overs today, weather will be nice. Have a great day. Katherine- 106 replies

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there. My kids, my sister and her family coming today for dinner. Take out from Olive Garden is ordered. My sister and I have decided that we are through preparing huge meals on holidays so catering/take out it is. Welcome home, Rich. Though you had a wonderful trip it must be nice to be home. Prayers for all in need today. Safe travels to all visiting their Moms. Katherine- 91 replies

Have a paper copy of your masters benefit for priority access at terminal to show at port. You can print it from the website. Go to the suites/pinaccle entrance. My sister had that problem recently but was able to “prove” her benefit. The people at the port, as well as on the ship, do not always understand casino levels/benefits. If “masters” is not on your seapass take an old seapass card that shows your level. I doubt on any booking there are enough masters level folks to warrant their own entrance. Katherine

Ivan does look wonderful. Moscato is about the only wine I can tolerate. My sweet tooth keeps me from drinking other wines. But having said that I probably have not had any for about two years. I am not much of a drinker. Katherine- 86 replies

Good morning everyone. Thanks to all who keep this thread going. Such a treat each day. Dentist today for a cleaning. Ugh! But I am a baby with a low pain threshold and pay for the “laughing gas”. It helps somewhat. Will stop on the way home for takeout. Should be a beautiful day and I am waiting patiently for my roses to bloom. Seeing a lot of buds presently. Safe travels to those on the road or on a ship. Finally I feel like things are getting back to normal. Enjoy your day. Katherine- 88 replies
