I am renewing mine this coming spring, during one of the only windows I have available. It does not expire until a year later, but indeed....the river cruise we are taking next fall is requiring the 6 month minimum, which squeaks over that at the end of the trip. They were quite explicate on that.

Cruise Wizard's favorite donut place!! Our go to is "Two Fat Cats" for blueberry pie. 😉

Plus indeed poocher is right. You choose an arrival time to check in at the port, nothing to do with boarding time.

Only due to being over 9 days. Even if leaving the states on a 10 day plus...need testing.

Nice thing about Wonder ending her TA in our home port of PC. I can easily haul any left over wine with me for the 20 minute trip home. 😉 😄

Cheers to us!! 🍷 For now anyway...not sure how long that will last either. 😬

LOL...yeah...that sounds about right. Go with the flow! 😄 😄

I am too lazy to repack and move. This last time, once I was already on the ship, already in our originally booked cabin, and unpacked....I cancelled our bid since I had heard nothing from Royal UP. 😉

Oh no...that's worse!! 😬

Guys...think about it....does this look familiar?

They probably don't drink wine? And if they can get us to accept that crap...it's good for their budget/bottom since it is give away wine. 😉

Yuck...worse than "plonk". I would not even cook with that stuff. 😝

On sea days, we enjoy a glass of wine or a beer...or both...sitting on our balcony mid afternoon. 🙂 Playing self bartender is rather enjoyable to just chill out on our own.

Me guesses the "Ace in the hole" is pulling your chain. 😉

Why don't you email and ask RCI?

You got it bro...hi back at 'cha!! 🙂

Now why didn't I think of that....would be a great cruise for Anthem...love to see the Tower of London from on board that ship!!! 🤗

Pretty much after you have unpacked, had dinner, went to the show, and then had gone to bed that first night on board. That was when I got my denial email. 😖

Yes...they were.

I want to know why my TA does not stop in Cozumel!!! 😉

This exactly ^. So simple to just print those boarding passes. I hand over my passport case that has Covid Vax cards in the window section, my passport, and the set sail pass (trimmed down) tucked behind it. Easy peasy...done. No fumbling with the phone to find it. 😉

Coco Cay can only support two ships at a time. The regularly scheduled east/west itineraries probably have schedules to be there for that day. IMHO it does not matter if you are going east or west out of Florida...all ships seem to HAVE to stop at Coco Cay on either direction. 🤔 Highly booked up stop. Nassau can accommodate more ships than Coco Cay and is not that far from the other Bahamian island. Does not bother me at all that we are stopping at Nassau versus Coco Cay on our Wonder west bound TA.

Oh yes...the dart board that beverage dept. and housekeeping uses for selections!! 😄

OMG yes. All the new "improvements" they made to the website some years ago, just made it more difficult for us to do selections....and more work for the CS phone reps, and LAs. 😕 Now if they can just get our wine that is delivered to the room as correct. It's always messed up now. They seem to toss anything at us they want to get rid of I guess. Ughh... Yet another trip to the LA. 😖

And if you happen to be on a cruise soon...go to the LA on board...they can change selections for you. That is what I do, but bear in mind...the change does not happen until the following cruise.
