Ken at the beach

It has been confirmed. Also regarding tje lobster. They are switching from warm water lobsters to cold water Maine Lobsters so that is a big difference.

Only before final unfortunately. After final it is whatever penalty stage you are in.

From what we were told on hje Allurecsailing is that they are releasing them on thf first of every month so Dec 1 all of Jan will open.

Thanks. The only one I've checked lately is my Christmas sailing on Wonder and it's not added to that.

Correct.

When did they start allowing cruise planner purchases on the app

While you do have 12 months to pick a date before you lose your deposit you only have 60 days to pick a date in order to get the OBC.

Last night on board and Kelsea Ballerini was playing an invite only event in the aquatheatre. They were prepared, we tried the doors to the deck 7 balcony an hour early and they already had people posted there. We went up to 15 and were going to see what we could looking over the side of the boardwalk, the theater was half empty. We left there about ten minutes before the show started and decided to see if they were going to open it up for all. By the time we made it to the boardwalk the doors were wide open. Ended up getting great seats and it was a great show. Now it's time for DSB...Journey tribute band. Great way to end the cruise although not looking forward to the cold front that has moved into Texas.

Yes 3 per person, 6 for a couple Yes every room gets the $100pp deposit (excluding suites) and $100 obc (varies by stateroom category)

All cabin doors on every ship are metal

Night 2. That's it.

We skipped that.

That part is up to Royals discretion and since it's not a family member, not prolonged contact and how far back it was I would not count on that getting approved.

They are asking for documented proof through a supervised test facility.

You are just like Vikki. She rarely uses her 5 daily vouchers (I'm certainly not complaining )

Voyager this summer was also horrible...I blamed that on supply chain issues in Europe. You would think NV would be similar in consistency to the rest of the NA ships.

A few bottles of water would have been smart to mix into the drinks but we weren't that smart.will definitely check out the airborne pills. Somewhat related to the drinking Sorrentos was doing a fine job with their pies....both sober and slightly intoxicated.

Sarah said this is training for our Christmas cruise. 4 Diamond drinks for her first full cruise over 21 were not enough so she had to have her package so I will have her "buy" me drinks on her vouchers

The young one kept up with tje old guy for the most part but the difference was the next day....rookies. Thanks for another new drink will add that to tonight's list.

So the problem with keeping up to date on posting the different drinks us that at some point in time the drinks win. We had a great start to the first day and we kept pretty good track. Unfortunately neither Sarah or I remember going back to our room and thr next day the first drink wasn't happening until 5pm. Here's our scorecard from day 1. Topped out at 15 or so and I drank a couple of Sarahs that she didn't like. work kind of got in tje way for a bit and we did get sn invite to Coastal Kitchen last night for dinner...nice meal and much calmer than the MDR. lazy day today in Cozumel, off the ship to buy a silver chain, a 1 litter bottle of Vanilla as a consolation prize for Vikki and SarH bought 2 bottles of Vodka. Because everyone on board has the drink package they just let us carry the booze on board. For the Flowriders out there...golden unicorn sailing...never more than 2 or 3 riders and sometimes no one is there. Apologies to all whose posts I've missed.

I broke my rule about not having the same drink twice and this was the one I broke it with.

Sorry to hear this Greg, hope you are feeling OK. So hard to keep up on this thread while at sea

Added. 7 before dinner. Off to a fine start.

I already asked my account manager if they had to ho looking for a Captain with a Southern accent. Pretty different hearing him refer to guests as Y'all

#5 was a Mai Tai. Have to modify on yhe go today with Texas liquor laws. Starting to pace ourselves, chilling in one of those round bed things on deck.
