The aft penthouse suites on Royal class have the huge wraparound balconies. We generally avoid Royal class but if we love the itinerary then these are the cabins we book

Totally agree dealing with the casino is a pain let your CVP give you advice

The journey portion on the app will not have data for quite some time. I am sailing April 14 on the Ruby and nothing shows except for excursions. Don’t panic you will not starve

Which ship ? The deck plans should give you some indication

There are a few things that have an added cost as far as a 2nd entree. If there is the price will be noted on the menu

There are others like deals only good for people who live close to a port or 50% discount for plus in the UK

When you order it will say $10 but when it ships the invoice says $0 and you are not charged. This has been going on for several years with the apps

There are many deals that only apply to certain people, different areas or even countries and many are just for limited times. I travel on casino deals which means I usually get free balconies with casino free play and can upgrade to full suites for not much money. The worst deal I ever get is a minimum of a 30% discount

They never had to swipe it just plug it in. The medallion is best for unlocking your door otherwise it pretty much acts like the cruise card did although it is smaller takes up less room in you pocket and at the slot machines you don’t have to keep anything in the machine Many people confuse the medallion with the app which is the real game changer since it lets you check your folio, look at MDR dinner menus in the morning and find the location of your traveling companions to mention just a few

The pasta portions are so large I just skip the mains to have room for the great desserts

Still love the carbonara pasta in Sabatini’s. Always have it on embarkation night

2 party times have been the norm for several years as the amount of elites has skyrocketed especially with people doing 4-5 day cruises

With all the MDR issues we hear about on every ship we are glad too always be in Reserve Dining. Since the restart we have never waited more than 2 minutes

Not all couples are together all the time we are often doing different things We hate having to constantly check our folio to see where the drinks are being charged to and how many each has left. That is why we insist that they put one on each account when we are together any bartenders who won’t do it will see their end of cruise tip envelope empty. Waiters in the specialty restaurants also have a bad habit of charging both meals to the man’s account same with bottles of wine. We operate our lives with 2 checking accounts and different credit cards so these things do make a difference

We did not start it. Somebody posted pictures suggesting it and I for one want to warn people because for us if was very traumatic

I was on the Crown January and into February and loved our mattress

In my opinion it is close to being a scam. There have been many reports about limitations on the hotel portions making it almost unusable

I think that it is a glitch to show O’Malley’s. Casual venues usually don’t take reservations even on board

Why would I want to book in advance and have to pay in advance when I have always been able to book when on board

I was on the Crown last month and you could only see the current days menu

Likewise

Washing is cheap paper waste with food on it cannot or at least should not be recycled but thrown in garbage. Spoken as a person who recycled as possible

There have never been future menus on the app. If you want paper napkins bring your own they belong at McDonalds not a cruise ship. If you use a paper making it cannot be washed and reused. Talk about real waste Specialty restaurants are never booked fully on line. We always eat several meals in them and never make arrangements until on board As far as putting bags out the tell you in writing when they need to be put out. There is no real starting time

Believe me you will still get fed

We travel on long sea cruises. Like 16 day cruises with only 4 ports. River cruises do not interest us nothing to do at night
