  1. So they are creating a lounge which they canceled some time ago completely?
  2. Some people think that cruising is for people for whom money is no object. It is all about priorities. We are interested in it, we like longer cruises and do not have kids, but bookings are going pretty well.

    We took a bus to to Arashi beach where we swam, snorkeled and even walked to California lighthouse

    Aruba Excursions?

    There is a section Ports Of Call with lots of information.
  5. Exactly. One parent can travel with a child. Especially if child has passport. (Passport can only be received if both parents agree)
  6. I cannot remember exactly which company, but we did London via Salisbury, Stonehenge & Windsor. Prior to delivering us to London center they dropped people in several terminals of Heathrow.
  7. I never been there, but I thought it was a beach club? Have fun!!! We LOVE renting a car and driving around Cozumel.
  8. Adventure is pretty close to Freedom. Just a little bit smaller, but it does not feel much smaller. Very similar design and feel.
  9. Bermuda also has subtropical (colder) climate than Bahamas and Caribbeans which are tropical islands.
  10. We sail to Bahamas, Caribbeans and Bermuda all the time from NJ. You cannot predict the weather, but I would not say that one direction is more stormy that another. Storms are rare, but waves do happen from time to time..
  11. We usually do 1 out of 5 cruises a year out of Bayonne on Vision class. 12 dayers to S Caribbeans. Others are Oasis, Quantum, Voyager/Freedom classes … Last two years it was Enchantment. We enjoyed it a lot! We love Centrum with tons of music daily! Boleros is a nice addition. Shows are nice. We love all windows in Centrum! Enchantment also has tons of paintings around Centrum.. makes fun to explore them.
  12. 39 10 days cruises in suite = 780 points… doable.
  13. We used Lyft right near terminal entrance.
  14. Yes.. we became more loyal… Not only because of perks, Royal offers great value … and the best collection of cruises out of Northeast year around, but perks are nice.
  15. Amazing ship and right size. It is smaller than Oasis class, but pretty much second after that. 5 day cruise features amazing entertainment! The best ice show. Encore Broadway show - Saturday night fever Circus de Soleil type of show: In the air We enjoyed every second of it in May even though weather was meh for most days
  16. We do not cruise in suites. We do cruise 5 times a year. We even cruise around holidays to maximize vacation. Disembarkation day is always my work day if not a weekend (work remotely while driving).
  17. We made it to D in May 2018 (cruised since 2003, but with 8 lines till 2021). Made to D+ in 2022. Next cruise we will have 283. I think with at pace we will make it in another 8-10 years well before retirement.
  18. Well.. this is not entirely true. People buy those balconies. We bought obstructed balconies for example. People who buy GTY only assigned those if others did not buy them. And they pay less. fair deal.
  19. Israel pretty often becomes a war zone. Don’t get me wrong I have family and friends there, but… Loans are fine.
  20. No, it’s not free usually. Loans are provided. As much as we want it to be free.. if we expect government to evacuate us from dangerous places.. government will oversee where we are going. Do you want this?
  21. We had 3 NYE on Royal ships and two on Princess. All were amazing. Big celebrations, balloon(s) drop, musing, dancing before and after New Year… fun fun.
  22. I have other information. Also even cargo handlers have are paid based on education (in some reason).
  23. No. Amount is fine... I am talking about tipping.
  24. Why? They are paid very low and this is a good source of income.
