I have done several both Spring and Fall, and the weather has been good on both. I prefer the fall due to I take an overnight flight over to Europe and sleep on the plane. When I arrive early morning, I am ready to go. You are adding time due to time changes and no jet lag when I get back to the US.

Try using another browser. I could not complete mine using Google. Ended up using Mozilla and not problem.

We were on the Jewel TA in November. The two freestyle machines were very poorly maintained or did not operate the majority of the cruise.

Recently returned from a TA in November on the Jewel. The Windjammer food was good. There were a lot of Indian dishes...a lot of curries.

I was not over the top with the menus in the MDR. I was usually able to select something from the menu. If you let the waiter know you have preferences they are usually very eager to please.

Did not see it on my last cruise on the Jewel. One of my favorites!

Real ice cream has been available every evening in the Windjammer on every RCI ship I have sailed.

Did not have it on the Jewel last month.

The last few RCCL excursions we have taken were poor. I have decided they are my last resort.

I always check the cruise line flights and also have used The Best Travel Store (google it).

Have never experienced a problem. At the most have waited a few minutes.

My SIL's dad is a dentist. They mentioned that he contracted for some cruises to provide dental work. I am not sure which cruise line.

WalMart is the equivalent of ASDA.

Recommend take Leonardo Express from FCO Airport to Roma Termini . Then taxi to Hotel Campo de Fiori (at Campo de Fiori). Within walking distance of Piazza Farnesse, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Castel de St Angelo, Church of St Andrea de Valle, St Peters and Vatican Museums .

 

Then taxi to Termini and train to Civitavecchia .

I stayed at Hotel Campo de Fiori on my last visit to Rome. Nice accommodations and staff was wonderful. We enjoyed the location as well. I would not hesitate on returning there.

No, has not left...we are booked on Majesty in February 2017

This isn't a problem on the Radiance class...but ok if you don't want to book those wonderful tru afts..many of us will ;)

Almost always book aft cabins...if you prefer under the Windjammer that is your preference. I prefer to have a good night sleep to enjoy my cruise. I make sure there are cabins above me after that experience. To each their own.

Will never do the aft under the Windjammer again. All of us along the aft complained about the noise. They would wake you up very early morning dragging tables & chairs across the floor. Complaints did not help. Love the aft but never in that location again.

I think you get 20kg on Virgin.

 

Have to take my CPAP machine, then there is my Computer, Tablet and Camera Gear. That will account for most of my luggage allowance. SWMBO will take the toiletries and her clothes. I will wear mine over and have a few other things used as padding around the important stuff.

CPAP is medical device...I have never been charged for it and was not counted against the limit of baggage.

Came home from last TA with the same thing. Went to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis. Doctor said this is common with cruisers.

I had an aft cabin under the Windjammer on another ship. Very early (about 4 AM) daily we heard staff moving what sounded like tables and chairs around. We never had a good night of sleep. We spoke with several others in cabins in same area and everyone was experiencing the same thing. We spoke with guest relations and it was better for one night. Now I always check to be sure what is above or below my cabin. I enjoyed my cruise but it would have been better if I had been well rested.

My late husband had a pituitary tumor and was a very tall and large man. He loved cruising and RCCL was always happy to make sure he was comfortable. They had an armless chair for him in the MDR. There are seating options in the theater. There is also some seating at the top of the skating rinks that are not stadium seats that work fine.

Go enjoy your cruise and congratulations on your journey and success with your weight loss!

Had this happen to me too several years ago. Booked at D1 aft cabin. They later moved me to another cabin. I called and had to be very adamant that I wanted to be changed back. Luckily it has never happened again.

Peanut M &Ms

We ordered these from Amazon and used on our last cruise. They were great...worth the purchase!

Decorated our door on our last TA. You can find lots of ideas at teaching supply stores.

My first cruise was on the Splendour several years ago. I have liked all the ships so far. I prefer the smaller size.
