Do you recall the various theme nights?

Submitted my request via email yesterday at 4:47 PM, received automatic reply back at 4:48 to allow up to 21 days. Went to the Princess app to look at excursions 20 minutes later and the OBC was added for my cruise in October.

Thank you for taking us along...6 more voyages before we embark.

This morning we are docked in San Martín, Peru, on the Paracas Peninsula surrounded by desert dunes. This is the port for visiting Pisco.
Princess is providing a free shuttle to the town of Paracas, about 20 minutes away. Pisco is another 30 minutes away from Paracas.
We are planning on taking the shuttle to Paracas and then hiring a taxi to visit Pisco.
This is also the starting point for passengers doing the Macchu Pichu excursion from the ship. They will return in 3 days when we are in Lima.
Thanks for taking us along. Those windmill blades are huge.

What if this robotic arm is inside the Pearl? RCI may have one of the most immersive ride experiences at sea if that's the case.
Hmmm...aren't the moveable panels in Two70 on the Quantum powered by robotic arms like this?

I wouldn't recommend that you try a different cruise line but rather a different class of ship. Based on your signature you've sailed on older ships in the past. I recommend trying the newer classes of ships such as Oasis or Quantum, you may have a different experience.

I'm not sure about a recent uptick in fights on cruise ships, I did view the two more recent large fights that took place on Carnival and Royal. I've seen videos of fights going back years ago and on different cruise lines. I believe the two more recent videos are receiving the attention they're receiving due to the size of the fight and the many people involved.
I do agree with you with repercussions, I feel the cruise companies should start making an example and publicly placing these people on "do not cruise" lists in addition to expelling them from the ship at the next port.
In the two viral videos it appears that the security response was slow. I'm not sure if this can be attributed to the crew shortage that the cruise lines are experiencing.

I didn't say that .... someone else did. Go back and reread.
My apologies I clicked on the wrong thread.

Thanks for posting the photos of the booze, I never remember to write down what it would cost at home. A couple of comparisons to totalwine in Cherry Hill (per their website):
Woodford Reserve 750 ml $34 (TW) vs ship 1liter 2/$60 (I think it says $34.99 for one)
Tanqueray 1l $33 (TW) vs ship 1l 2/$50 (guessing $30 for one)
Kentucky Owl Confiscated 750ml $130 (TW) vs ship $100 (looks like same size)
But on some of the other stuff like grey goose, it didn't look like a particularly special deal.
Cherry Hill TW...sounds like we're neighbors...TW is in my rotation😁

We sail the end of next month and the Labadee cabana rentals didn't show up until a few weeks ago. You have plenty of time.

If you get a chance do you mind surveying the Bourbon/Whiskey offerings in the Duty Free shop on board?

You have piqued Mrs. S, is Snack Shake onboard or was that on the Island? She heard Funnel Cake and said let’s go at 5:30 am 😆Snack Shack is on CocoCay...in addition to the funnel cake there's the secret sandwich that you have to ask for since it's not on the menu😄

Were in glocester county in Wenonah, about 10 miles south east of philly. Cape Liberty is just a hop skip and jump, so nice not having to fly.
I'm at exit 5 literally about 3 minutes away. Had I read earlier I would've made a "Have a great cruise" sign and stood on the overpass as you were driving by...lol...😄😁...maybe on your way back a "Sorry your cruise ended" sign...😁😁.
Thanks for taking us along...always enjoy your reports.
Enjoy!

This is the 2nd email I got. It says nothing about exceptions for the transatlantic
ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING TRAVELS
Dear Guest,
Please be sure your vaccination documentation reflects your first and second dose (or single dose for Johnson and Johnson), in addition to your booster information if you are up to date. To learn more about our health protocols, please visit RoyalCaribbean.com/Health.
Is RCCL requiring the booster shot as well for TA's?

In November we purposely booked a 9:30 PM flight from Miami after our cruise on Freedom so we can enjoy the beach and the city. We booked a room at a resort on Miami Beach via Hotels By Day hotelsbyday.com. We spent about $100 and was able to check in around 8:30 AM after disembarking from the ship. Our check out time was 6:00 PM which was a great time to get to the airport and relax before our flight. We had access to all of the hotel amenities including room, spa, gym, pool, beach chairs and umbrellas. I'm sure they have similar resorts/locations in Ft. Lauderdale.

Thanks again @Radio. On Thursday evening my wife and I were heading to DC from NJ for a meeting Friday morning. I asked her to look for a restaurant in the White Marsh area somewhere easy hop on/off of Interstate 95. She read reviews and found "Libs Grill" in Perry Hall, a few minutes out of the way, but okay...I can get a steak.
We turned into the shopping center and directly in front of us was "Liberatore" which we both thought "Libs" was short for...oh were we wrong...lol. I enjoy bourbon and noticed a liquor on the other side of the street. I figured I would check out the selection while waiting for our food. What did I see across the street from the liquor store..."Libs Grill"...hahaha. We were in the wrong place but we enjoyed "Liberatore". I told my wife, I've heard of Perry Hall before but I couldn't figure out from where until I came back here to read the conclusion of your report...lol.
Perry Hall looks like a wonderful place to live.

Thanks for taking us along. I was nearby in DC for business and stayed at the Marriott Courtyard in Silver Springs Thursday night. The downtown area looks busy at night with the restaurants and nightclubs.

Thanks for taking us along...great report.
Transatlantic… how much wine????
in Royal Caribbean International

You can buy wine and liquor pre-boarding and have delivered to your room. I purchased Bombay Sapphire for my cruise on Jewel this past January.
