I should have specified, I am in my 30s. 

Then why does Royal think you're under 21?  Check your confirmation.

 Check in for my family's cruise opens soon. When I click check in for my reservation, it says I need to be 21. I called Royal and they said it's because check in isn't open yet. But when other people in my group click check in, they get a message about it not being ready quite yet. I'm worried that when its actually time, mine is still going to be telling me I'm not old enough.
 

Are you sailing alone?  That might be a problem.

Just wondering if bed sheets are changed during longer cruises than 7 days?

Yes, usually.  I think they work on a 7 day schedule. Of course fresh linens on turnover day.

I posted because I thought it was amusing.  Not complaining and not serious.  Sorry if you took me seriously.  We bid once with no luck. Did gty once and got something totally unacceptable,  so no more gty.  What's most important is we get to cruise.  Have had all kinds of cabins starting in 1971 on the Oceanic, porthole and 2 beds each attached to the wall.  An inside in 1988 before tvs showed you what the weather was.  And a grand suite we didn't even ask for on a Baltic cruise.  The 2 bdrm gs on the Navigator is only because they accidentally (?) priced it below the spacious ocean balcony (fixed the pricing the day after we booked), my normal choice.  As I said, the most important thing is that we're on a cruise.

I guess if you got the Royal Up to the Royal Suite, your granddaughter could sleep on the piano…. 😉

Yep!

I always put in lowball bids. The only way I can justify the terrible deal is if somehow the 4,000-5,000 other cruisers are too smart to fall for it. Never won a RoyalUP once. 🤭

But any bid in this instance would be crazy.

Not a chance I'd give up a 2BR suite for either. But as mentioned, technically a higher category, so that's why you see them.

I know but really no extra benefits and 1 less bedroom.

The algorithm just offers you the next six or so categories immediately above yours. Logic doesn’t come into it.

We just had a offer to bid on an upgrade for MSC for a YC deluxe suite for $1000.  We are currently in a YC deluxe suite.  🤨🤔

 

Just delete email.  You have a great room.  I guarantee there are those out there who, in the same room as you and got the same email, would come on here and all over social media complaining because they lost their great room if they received the upgrade.

Agree.  Just funny.  No bid from me.

Dh, granddaughter and I are booked in a 2 bdrm grand suite on the Navigator in July.  They are suggesting we do a Royal Up bid to a Royal Suite, 1 bdrm, or a Owner's suite, also 1 bdrm.  Admittedly they are both very nice but why would I give up a bedroom?  I know, it's an automated process but still strange.

We bring flowers every cruise since they stopped the flower cart.   

Lovely.

It's always the right time to go to Rome.

Yes but.... I was answering about hotel prices.  Was also wondering about extra crowds, etc.

Thank you so much for the "heads Up"! I just checked our preferred hotel for April 2025 and No Vacancy!!! And the same for some others.

 

I wonder if it's because of the Jubilee Year celebrations.  Haven't done anything about this cruise yet (4 cruises to deal with first) but was wondering if it was the right time to go to Rome.

We bought flowers at PP as well. No problem getting a vase from room steward. Enjoy!!

 

Here's mine.  The vase, when empty, is flat.  From a company called MODGY.

We're D+ and in our balcony  cabins there are always several bottles of water when we arrive.  

We were supposed to be on a TA leaving on Passover and I contacted Royal, Mbayley@rcci.com. someone contacted me, gave me a number to call and they were very helpfu. l made reservations for the seder that they were doing.  No I don't think it was going to be very kosher but they are trying.  Heading to family in Wisconsin for the seders.  Not quite the same but nice.

We sailed into Tampa in October onnthe Radiance after a Canal transit.  I slept.  But on the Brilliance December 29, 2018, we wentvto muster, the old one, and the captain did his usual announcements and then said the coast guard had closed the port and we wouldn't sail forca while because of fog!  We all were confused as it looked sunny to us.  Well while it was clear at the port the bridge was fogged in.  Didn't sail until after 12 noon the next day!. Got to the bridge around 3:30 the next day.  And since we couldn't leave the 3 ships to enter the next morning didn’t start sailing in until we and the Rhapsody sailed under the bridge.  

Missed a port but captain sailed along Cancun at midnight so we could watch the fireworks from the hotels at midnight new years eve.  Really nice show.

I read the thread... no time mentioned,   just that they were eating dinner and it happened.

 

I'm trying to avoid that, and hoping someone can help me out and has an idea of the timing.

 

Thanks though

I thought someone said 5 pm.  Captain announced.

Going on Icon this weekend.  Traveling with a couple that is celebrating their wedding anniversary and it’s their first cruise.  
Can the MDR arrange for a cake with happy anniversary on it?  How do I request?  Just tell the head waiter on night 1?

 

Thanks! 

We've done that.  Talk to your waiter or head waiter a day or more 8n advance.   They'll be happy to help.

Sailing out of Tampa for the first time... and booking dinner for the first night.    I don't want to miss us sailing under the bridge.   What time does the ship usually arrive at the bridge.

Look at the postings for the current Radiance Panama Canal sailing.  They just discussed that.

99% the time I've always done Aft Corner(Vision/Radiance Class), but picked lower Deck 7 last Fall to get closer look while going threw the Canal... Sea Sick Bags out for 2 days, usually tell by that if expecting a rocky ride though really isnt bad at all, was worse last Fall's Radiance PC Cruise. That was 6 straight Sea Days steering around the Hurricane.

Gosh didn't think the weather was that bad going around the hurricanes!
