  1. Royal Caribbean is a cruise line geared to families and so are their ships. They will never have any adult only ships under the RC brand. You are cruising on the the wrong cruise line if you expect more than the adults only Solarium.
  2. There is no way they could pull off a Bermuda Fish Sandwich. Those are unique. They should not even try. Dark and Stormys or Rum Swizzles are doable.
  3. Seems logical if they have the same menu two nights there would be less people at the buffet.
  4. It does not seem like a two night worthy menu to me either.
  5. The beverages are British and a few of the menu items are Bermudian or British. Not British Bermuda but British or Bermudian. Pretty much a mish mash.
  6. What do they serve that is British Bermuda? I was on a Insignia Bermuda Bliss sailing a few years ago and don't recall having that.
  7. Better shops in Hamilton. The Dockyard is a tourist trap geared to cruise passengers and there will be 6000 so there.
  8. Some UPS and Fedex stores here in the US also have notaries for a small fee.
  9. App was discontinued a few years ago. The app worked well on a phone. Take your iPad if you want to access CC. . While I have the largest iPhone and can use the CC website on my iPhone in landscape mode in a pinch, it is a miserable experience. I only use my iPad or computer normally. I don't take my computer on a cruise so I bring my 11 inch iPad. Reasonably portable solution. Other solution is don't use CC on s cruise. Then you won't need to bring a tablet. My reason for bringing an iPad is to watch a few videos on flights. I could actually make do on my iPhones 6.7 inch screen but I am used to bringing the tablet.
  10. The chef at Cafe Ole who had a very highly rated fish sandwich is behind Mama Mias. The Caves thought they were too popular, using too many parking spaces, and he had to move on last March. He announced he would be opening Mama Mias. Yoiur post confirms he has opened the new restaurant.
  11. I seem to recall He might have retired. His contact info that I have is 441-335-4689. email: quianreu@logic.bm
  12. The email explains what the charge was so file a claim with you insurence and attach the final statement and the email communication.
  13. No chance at all. You only get the category upgrade when you make your booking. You can't get it after booking. So too late now. The upgrade if the category is eligible is getting charged at the next lower category price. So in effect that would be a $20 to $50 lower fare.
  14. I would add to what you say that the Select benefits are not any big deal. Pretty minimal in my opinion.
  15. Very good advice. Many people embellish their claims or go on rants. That will sink their them.
  16. iMessage does require internet. At one time passengers on some cruise lines were able to use iMessage, WhatsApp and FaceTime on some ships because the ships server was allowing those apps to connect to the internet over their WiFi even without a plan. In simple terms they were getting through because of the way the server was configured. The port they used had been left open. I don’t think it was on purpose but apparently it was not simple to close that port because other traffic used it. All the ships I have been on in recent times those apps don’t work. You can try iMessage or WhatsApp over the ships WiFi without a plan but they probably won’t work.
  17. I was not a police officer but we used speaker microphones like the one he is using.
  18. Listening to the squelch on walkie talkies through headphones can cause hearing loss. I had to carry a radio at work and they offered earphones but we researched it and found out they can cause hearing loss. As we always had to have the radio on while on duty we did not wear the earphones. We never had problem connecting like happens on ships because we had repeaters so that di minimize the squelch.
  19. They certainly are not necessary and from overhearing people trying to using them they don't seem to be having an easy time connecting. Some are oblivious or don't care about being annoying. They only think about themselves. I feel the same about people using speakerphones in public. Why?
  20. Walkie Talkies have that annoying squelch. The constant hiss. No way to make that discreet.
  21. Walkie Talkies are definitly audible. Personally I don't like bother other people but to each their own.
  22. It could be anything from smooth to rough. It depends on weather fronts the can't be predicted in advance. Sea conditions can change from week to week. Even day to day. Best to pack some bonine or Dramamine just in case. By the way If your cruise travels from Bermuda to San Juan you will be in the notorius Bermuda Triangle....
