They added so many cabins to the Nav that this is probably pretty common.

So Mike Swajakowski is getting a chance net week to impress Bayley?

I booked everything as soon as reservations opened up. Not sure why you wouldn't see it. 

I do, Royal IT Department.  Nobody in our roll call has Ocean Aria showing up.

If I can't get a machine I hit the track and come back. Oasis Class have the best tracks for running.

We're giving the old girl a whirl. I'm planning on a nice laid back voyage.  Hopefully she delivers.  Read Twangster's reviews for some great input regarding the Empress.

It's a V6, but it switches back and forth to a V4

Does it switch smoothly? I remember when Cadillac had the 8-6-4 cylinder piece of garbage.

I recently had a Ford Escape rental. Stop more than 10 seconds the motor shuts of until you hit the gas.

Not longer than my old 70 Mercury Montego.

Were you able to book Ocean Aria online?   Our entertainment opened up today and Ocean Aria is not there.

Wrongo, we just got $200 obc for our 12 night cruise scheduled in January.

Maybe you applied for it before they changed the amounts.

How did the MyVegas OBC work? Did you have to book with their agent or could you add it after booking with your own TA? I have not had much luck with MyVegas.

I booked direct with Royal,  then redeemed the points and sent the email.  One $100 OBC in my name for one cruise,  and one $100 OBC in the wife's name for a different cruise.   I was using online agencies and never was able to get anything, so that's why I tried booking direct.

FYI You only receive OBC on any overage. Example. Lets say you are doing a 7 day cruise and you have OBC already of $50.00 you will only receive $50.00 more from the stock credit. If you already have $100.00 OBC you get nothing.

No, booked 4 cruises last month and got the full stock holder, MyVegas, and  Royal OBC.  Since it changed in June the agents are not fully aware of this.

I love Mike S. but think his fountains routine is gross and not really funny. Is he still doing it?

Maybe, I found this with Google

That looks like wishful thinking.   Their tour dates in November include the City Winery Boston, and a bunch of small towns in Florida.

They could have payed for two performances.

Hubby tried his best as an amateur ??

 

Speed II rings a bell.

If the service was great we'll give them an envelope at the end,  but if they constantly harp about good grades on the survey they get just the automatic tip.

What if I make 140 on a cruise and then my wife hits 140 on the next cruise, do we each get one on our separate cruises?

No

Just remember all communications about price changes, non Royal Ad upgrades, etc will have to be by the agent. Royal will not talk you.

I'm sure Lloyd will have something posted soon.

Lloyd - Is it possible that this is the one stack at the very aft near the Flowrider? Looking at the shape and form the profile is very similar. 

Old thread about the rear stack. It looks square.  Might be for kitchen exhaust.

I've found Alamo to be pretty quick from the PE  location. They have 3 or 4 shuttle buses working and are the closest and most convenient , being on Eller Drive.  The only knock is that the kiosk there doesn't work and you get the hard sell from the agents. It's a shame that the freeloaders killed the Alamo free shuttle between FLL and PE.

It appears that they are combining multiple funnels into one big one at the top.

The old stack.

I really hope they create a documentary on the refurbishment as I love seeing the whole process and what they accomplish in a relatively short amount of time. 
 

I am curious as to what the backup plan is IF something ever malfunctions with stacks where they can’t be lowered while on the way back to NJ and they can’t enter the harbour under the bridge? I am sure this has been discussed internally. 

I think the last one they did was the Sovereign.  They shifted to secret agent and Jenny McCarthy nonsense.

My question would be if you booked after the itinerary changed, the port fees would have been included in the price already. Royal would be losing nothing on those passengers, instead they would be making money.

I'm pretty sure it's in the contract that they have to refund the fees for missing a port. I wouldn't stress over it.  The per passenger fee was $10.75 in 2017. Don't know if it's higher in 2019.
