Hope you didn't miss "Velvet Band" on the Royal Prominade. They could sing anything

What do you expect them to do? They offered full refund as well as other options

I didn't stop to see him, but there was never an empty seat. I guess it's just you

Just got off Sunday also. Production shows are all reruns for a decade or more. Used to not mind so much because of new performers doing them. Tired is an understatement for sure. Newer ships have actual musicals and are excellent. Ice show, the same. Just another rerun. The last day comedian was one of the best we've seen on the sea. Saw both of his shows. Drinks were hit and miss. Some great in one bar and poor in another. Solarium drinks were the best. Karaoke was about the worst ever. I remember cruising the Explorer out of Bayone where singers were mostly awesome. Balcony glass was caked in spray. No washy washy there. Cleaned it myself and could see through it again. Ports were all good and liked. Came home Sunday and tested positive. Oh great! I guess I'll write more. Great cruise overall, probably easily in our top 8 or 9

Where did you ever get that idea? Totally false!

Do the daily free drinks reset at midnight?

Group dept at Royal has nothing to do with this. The TA is running the show. Contact them. That person organizing the group has the option to give perks or get a free fare for themselves

I know, another tip thread. As you know tips are up AGAIN! $18 per day per person and even more for suites Looked for a breakdown on where the auto tips go and could only find the breakdown before the newest hike. Apparently Royal's new little secret. Stateroom attendant $3.55 Dining room $5.95 This is the tip breakdown in 2004 and I was shocked. "RCI recommends: a minimum of $3.50 per day per person to the cabin attendant, $3.50 per day per person to the waiter and $2.00 per day per person to the assistant waiter", $9 per day per person Almost the same as today as 20 years ago? How can that be right? The big difference in total cost now is the extra $6.50+ pp per day that Royal charges and calls "Other Hotel Services" I assume that those tips are for behind the scenes workers that you can't personally tip. I did some research and found in a couple places stating that these employees are hired for a set salary and that Royal offsets that amount with these tips. If the contract is for more than the tips received, then Royal makes up the difference. These workers would make the same regardless the amount of tips collected unless they exceeded the contracted salary. Wonder if it ever happens.

Bumped at the pier? NO! Happened very few times that I've ever seen Where are your sources for all this info that only you can find?

No way it would be repriced at ck in. Ck in people could care less what you paid or who shows up or not

Read here that you can see menus for each night on future cruise on the app. Can't find

How would that happen on a sold out cruise?

Don't know why anyone would keep buying flip phones when it's time for new. Smart phones can be had for little if any more money. My 84 yr old mother finally got one and she's never been happier with it. She doesn't use a fraction of the features but the larger size and a few things that she does use has made her life easier.

Didn't get declined because of that. Royal doesn't care who pays them

I've always submitted our self taken passport pictures

rediculous

we would need seperate accounts to text on board for example?

do we both sign in using same info? Maybe we both need seperate sign ins for each crown and anchor number? Just installed on other phone and my name pops up on top

On the Explorer soon and wondering if MTD is still on a dedicated floor. Am assigned early and am wondering if I could be on any floor

what's on the questionnaire now days What happens if you say you're sick?

When they say bridging, they mean having a document thay proves a name change. I have never heard of anyone being denied boarding because the name on their BC didn't match that of their license in the case of marraige. Tons of people have been denied boarding because the name on the cruise documents did not match anything at all that they could provide with a picture ID such as drivers license and passport. Happens when the bride books under new married name but has nothing as far as government ID in that name

There was only one and had nothing to do with your dismissed at the time "idea"

Thought I read somewhere that you can buy their used cards?

you do know that the 40% voucher is for 1 bottle for the whole cruise don't you?
