You would think by now all Royal's ship would be using that, when they started this 4 years ago........If not why isn't it fleetwide by now,

Be careful with that camera, there could be some of these out there. Good Luck on your crossing!

Jewel?

Also, don't forget Voodoo Donuts in Portland !!

Over Night in Portland would be cool while they make repairs. Could check out places where Twilight was filmed.

Lots of older people on these kind of cruises. It's bound to happen. Better to happen now then 4 or 5 days from now when you are half way. Are you heading back to Bermuda? If they get behind time wise, just have to cancel one of your ports later at the end of your cruise to make up the time.

But I'm sure the cruises you come home with a bag full of $$$$ are a lot more fun !!

Did you check your wallet, most likely it's much lighter now then when you got on Icon?

There is ALOT of "Loyal to Royal" crowd here so be prepared to get blasted as you will learn to know Royal does no Wrong !

A1C was 7.1 in March 2024, started on the Meds in March 2024 was 6.3 in September 2023

Do however have a cheat night every now and then. Made homemade Pizza the other night on our outside grill. Heats up to about 550 degrees, cooks the pizza super fast, in just under 5 minutes.

Thanks for asking.........Doing pretty good I think lost about 12 pounds. My Doctor put me on meds. Metformin HCL 500 MG Tablets, twice a day. Been cutting out just about all sugar and carbs. It's amazing how much better I feel.........except for some pants falling off me. lol I go back for a blood test in late June to see where I'm at compared to last time.

So have you all figured out the Visa Issue? Will he be allowed to board the ship? Are you boarding in Singapore with him?

I like pretty much all of them. 🙂

For laughs and giggles ever wander over to the roulette wheel trying to double up your money(winnings) with letting it ride on a color? red or black ? They way your luck is, I would be very tempted to try it a least a few times.

What ever the count is reported, you have to know that there are many more cases onboard that are not reported. Some people just don't let the cruise line know because they don't want to be quarantined to their cabins.

Are there really any fans of Royal's food since the restart/cut backs etc.?

@Teeara You said you weren't feeling well. Do you think you may have caught noro, since it has been reported on your sailing.

Can't be ? what were you thinking with all the food porn you have been seeing you just have to know you aren't seeing that on a Royal Cruise Ship.

So true! Who knows,there may be a time Royal comes back and says one day,you know that price on a cabin you booked when prices just came out that you booked? Well we messed up and started prices to low so now we are going to charge your credit card on file an additional $500 for your cabin Is everyone okay with that? Never know that time may be coming sooner then we all think. Everyone okay with that?

Sorry I asked.
