3,000+ Club

3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. Many years ago, I called Royal Caribbean and asked: "Do we get 1 or 2 crystal blocks?" She said: "Just 1." I asked: "What if we divorce?" She said: "You can discuss that with your attorney." She added: "You'll probably get the crystal block...your wife will want your money." *True story.
  2. Try the IFly...incredible adrenaline rush. Two70 has breathtaking views of the aft. Bumper cars will bring back childhood memories. You'll love the 4 diamond vouchers you can use almost anywhere, anytime. Yes! As previously stated, doing the muster is easy peasy. * We are currently onboard the Ovation sailing to Vancouver then Alaska.
  3. A bit early but congratulations! Welcome to the Pinnacle Club.
  4. Will we be able to get perks or discounts at All-Inclusive Hard Rock hotels in Cancun or Cabo? Thanks.
  5. No worries...announcements will be be read in English. All crew members know how to speak English. Happy sailing.
  6. Mother Nature is unpredictable. We are currently onboard the Ovation...transpacific. We sailed around New Zealand the first of B4B. The weather was cold and we encountered rough seas...our stop in Picton was cancelled. From Sydney, the weather's been relatively mild...rain in the morning in Raiatea...but it has been warm/hot and sunny the past 14 days. Wonderful weather in Tahiti and Moorea. Expecting more beautiful days sailing into Honolulu.
  7. Currently on Ovation. There's one by the bed, and a set of oulets by the vanity. Happy sailing!
  8. @kwokpotlf you have the Royal Caribbean App, the menu is there. * Food and service at CK (Ovation) outstanding...the menu repeated last night and the filet was absolurely sublime. 6:45pm reservation for us and many open tables.
  9. Boats from below Fira to Oia drops you off the dock below Oia and you have to take a bus up to Oia. I'm guessing this may be the bus they are referring to. * Local buses to and from Fira and Oia cost us €1.60 per person each way (current price may be higher now, but it's still cheap). The bus ride takes about 1/2 hour with 5 stops. Most of the passengers on the bus goes straight to Oia or back to Fira...so it can even be faster. Happy sailing!
  10. We received emails from RCCL informing us that BOTH sailings were cancelled. Are you booked on the Dubai-Singapore leg?
  11. In Oia, there's a nice restroom across the street fron where the local bus stops. Happy sailing!
  12. @Tlbecker1@sandebeach@gumshoe958@wdwkings@alfaericAgree with everyone...all spot on. Curently onboard the Ovation. Current sailing (ending this morning, in a few hours), had 76 Pinnacles...a number of them weren't able to eat at CK. 2 families staying in JS's asked the AMD if they can reserve all 10 nights on Day 1...the AMD said: "Come back again tomorrow, I'll see what I can do." We said hello to both families dining at CK when we were there. We spoke to them 7 out of 10 nights. * The access restriction for CK became relaxed after about 4 days...it was relatively empty most nights. * The next sailing is Sydney to Honolulu...and expecting over 100 Pinnacles.
  13. Agree with @TeeRickhe is spot on. Love the Suite Sun Deck on the Symphony. I had the hot tub for myself pretty much every day...the best bartenders (strong drinks)...bags of chips to munch on...comfy lounges in the shade...and of course a shower and loads of towels...a quiet respite from the crowds.
  14. Our experience out of Vancouver. We had a JS and showed up at 11:30 am...no problem. Our SetSail pass showed "Suite"...and used the Suite queue. Happy sailing.
