  1. This happened to me on a Princess cruise but it could happen on a RCL cruise also. I connected to a WiFi hot spot in Nassau, Bahamas to check e-mails. I disconnected that WiFi and when I got home I noticed a large charge on my phone that I had connected to the ships WiFi. I never tried to connect in the ship. But I was told by ATT that the ships signal for its WiFi sometimes connects automatically when you get very close to boarding.

  2. The only reason these people who abuse the service dog program is so they do not have to put the dog in a kennel on vacation. I saw a woman at an outdoor festival that did not allow pets; carry this small dog wearing all kinds of service dog signs. She said it was a comfort dog. Every dog is a comfort dog unless the dog is for protection. Stop abusing the real needs of those people that need help.

  3. It depends on which stateroom. I have an obstructed balcony booked on Adventure but it's 7688 - the perfect "obstruction".:D

     

    Most travel agents will ask me why I want to book an obstructed room and I don't even tell them - don't need this information to be too well known.;)

     

    what do you mean by perfect obstruction?

  4. To follow up and comments about cruise pizza. Here is the real issue. Ships are not designed to make real Neapolitan pizza. Real Neapolitan pizza has a very thin crust, the dough is prepared fresh every day. The pizza uses fresh mozzarella cheese, no other type of cheese is acceptable. The pizza is cooked in wood fired brick oven and served piping hot and not allowed to sit around. When you eat great pizza it should almost burn the roof of your mouth when you first bite into it. The pizza on a cruise ship is there for a cheap or free snack. Do not compare it to real freshly made pizza you would get in an old Italian town such as the one I grew up in. Electric ovens dry out the crust quickly and having it sit around and get warmed up when you order it is just not the way to eat great pizza. Unless the cruise ship is willing to cook this way you will never get great or even good pizza.

  5. yep, kids are allowed. Our kids love watching the shows. We wouldn't take them to the adult comedy show or the quest. Our boys are really looking forward to Cats on Oasis.

     

    I will be amazed if your kids like the musical "Cats". It is a very different type of production. I they do; good for them. My last cruise had 1/2 the people walk out during the intermission. The production was superb almost equal to Broadway. Explain to your kids what the show is about before you go and they will enjoy it more.
