I called on Sunday and got an agent in less than 5 min. They were very good answered all my questions.

Thanks for the info we will be in a suite next month on the Grandeur.

If you sailing to Bermuda can you post a daily compass or two?

Nice photos sailing on the Grandeur in Sept. We booked a GS looking forward to seeing what that looks like.

I was there last year on Carnival and loved the place going back next year again going to Bermuda this year.

Yes would be nice to see a current copy of a compass from the Grandeur.

We have used the card for years. No interest when you pay the balance off every month. We have a special savings account and every time we use the credit card we transfer the money over to the separate savings account when the bill comes in just pay it off. We buy groceries, gas, pay every RCCL on it and lot's of other things. We go on every cruise with on board cash so that our final bill at the end of the cruise is close to nothing. Our last cruise was 8 nights and our final bill was $133.00 that included $400.00 for two next cruise certificates. We came back and have on board credit already accrued for our next cruise. Of course you have to be regimented and make sure every time you charge something you transfer the funds to the credit card savings account. It works great for us. I always tell people the card works for us not us working for the card.

That sounds like a great way to do use the credit card when you would other wise be using your Mac card to pay for something and than just move move around in your account.

One other thing must these points must the value be included in you taxes?

What is the interest rate? I am paying less than 7% now any chance they have one close to that?

Yes I agree about deck 4 my wife and I did what you sat there and watched the sea go by.

Was on the Explorer two years ago and loved it. Lots to do good entertainment. If you like cigars there in room to smoke. Have fun.

We are sailing on the Grandeur in Sept. Hoping all goes well we were on the Explorer two years ago and the service was top notch with RCI. We heard bad reviews on the Carnival Pride also but we sailed on her last year and had a great time service their was top notch also.

We had a balcony on he Explorer on the bump. Its good for the view as you are sticking out further. Loved the Explorer by the way had a blast on her.

Anything with alcohol in it :)).

Been on both and liked each. Depends on the person I guess each has their advantages.

Just realize it will be real slow like dial up. Cloud cover could also effect it since it will from a sat.

Some really good information here we are sailing on the Grandeur in September in GS. Looking forward to going back to Bermuda.

Thank you for the reply my wife and I are new to cruising. We really wish we would have started years ago instead of flying to where we wanted to go. This is only our 3rd cruise first one on the Explorer in a balcony room next we got a suite on the Pride and the one coming up a GS on the Grandeur. We have been to Bermuda 3 times already once on a cruise and flew there twice. Now we are cruising there again and can't wait. Need to plan our next cruise after this one. :).

The perks on the Pride were not that great but the suite was large with a nice balcony. We tell all our our friends cruising is the way to go.

You will love the Explorer. Get yourself up to the front of the ship for sail away. There is one spot that's high and going under the bridge is cool from there.

I agree the Explorer is a really nice ship we did not even know we were on the ocean. The deck with all the shops is really grand. If I recall there are 5 pools in all. I want to sail on her again. We had a balcony room on the hump that was nice.

I have gone out of Baltimore last September and it was smooth as glass. I have gone out of New Jersey also and the same thing but you never know when you are talking about the open seas.

Yes get to the port early because the earlier you get on the ship the earlier you vacation can begin plus you will get to the food faster :D.
