My husband and I used the chat feature. No cost. Of course dh had to remember to turn his phone on and check it!

I also recommend Chef's Table on ship with private rooms, which means Quantum class, where there is a private room in Chops, and on Radiance, which uses the old card room, also a private venue. Never had chicken in Chef's Table. Also they limit group to 16. During covid limit was 8, or 9 once.

We should all have that problem!

We're not star class but have eaten at Chef's table on Anthem, as well as other ships. Love it, though once a cruise is fine. And yes we speak to someone at Chops, at least 1 day before, to pass on our food issues. We always confirm when we arrive that evening I don’t eat anything that comes from the water. Dh doesn't eat shellfish or meat. They are always very gracious about accommodating our issues. Remember this is a set menu, 6 courses including dessert with wine pairings. New Year's Eve on the Jewel 2021-2022, with only 9 of us, spent 4 hrs there, told it's not the record for longest evening. Great evening. Most evenings run 2-3 hours. Enjoy.

Would someone please explain how these compression bags away from home. Do you just push the air out or what?

We bring this one.

Yes. Have done it in the past and never found it so bad. Baggage handlers were totally disorganized.

The line to get to the pier was backed up to the main road! Unreal. There was a ferry in port also. Leaving for the airport 9 days later was a little better.

Airport to La Concha in Condado via Uber in early January was about $16. But to Pier on onna Friday was tons of traffic was $32!

I didn't put in cost but my experience was the quote was for the trip.

I have a friend who used Blackberry and I got a bid from them. Was a little high. The reason I chose Meadway was how much prompter they were in responding to my emails. My friend's family had also used them for years and highly recommended them.

I don't think I pack much more than I do for a 7nt. I send out undies and some of DH's washable shirts for wash and dry. Hand wash some other things. Drip them in shower and then hang elsewhere to dry,,i.e. balcony. I have magnetic hooks to use for hangars to attach to walls.

As indicated elsewhere we used Meadway. Very responsive. Always answered my emails promptly. Pick up was on-time.

This past October used Meadway car service from London hotel to the port. We were 4 people so reasonable. Was told no dedicated luggage space on the train, which could be crowded as it's a commuter train. Used them also from Heathrow to our hotel. Worked well for us.

You should be ok but print out the email confirmation and bring it with you in case any problems. Also there will be IT people who will assist if you have trouble logging in.

Yes. And the same goes if for some reason you land at terminal A and need to get to a gate at B or C. Don't leave the secured area. Just ask a gate person how to get to your next flight.

If you are connecting from a United flt to another United flt most likely both are in terminal C. No problem. If you have to change terminals then United usually has a bus to get you there and you never leave secured area. No additional TSA review.

We're 6 on the first cruise with outspoken individuals. Waiters want to please.

So you want to reach out to food & beverage manager to do what? He's following directions. I'm not saying you shouldn't let management know about your feelings but I think your complaints should be directed to Miami. I'm also concerned about the new rules. Will board Radiance in September for 2 cruises. We have traditional dining, 2nd seating. I plan on telling our waiter 1st night to slow downn the service, expect that we want extras, etc.

My choice also.

Any specific reason you need this? If you have special needs contact special needs at rccl.com. Someone may have the correct email for special needs.

Yes! Done it 2x and recall the stress, especially when the wedding was 3000 miles away!

Understand your problem but still think there must be somewhere else. Most important, enjoy the celebration. Weddings are always special.

I think i would work out something else. A private area in the mdr, or some other venue that would be more accomodating. We don't eat in Chops very often but have found service there has been slow, though not as slow as described.

Yes it should be your cabin but it can still be changed.
