5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. I guess everyone believes what they believe. I was told by the Concierge in the Diamond Lounge last year on Quantum that the drinks through the voucher system have nothing in the way of tips going to the server or bartender. I also asked about room service and he said most room service runners do it voluntarily as a way to get extra cash tips. If the delivery is free there is no tip to anyone, if the service fee applies then there is a small amount that goes into the ship pool.
  2. If you miss the ship your passport is left with the port agent.
  3. Check your big box store if you are a member. They have it for three priced at $1320 for XB GTY. + a bonus store card.
  4. And location. In the multiple story dining rooms they frequently use the lower level. We always have a table on the second or third level and try to be along the railing. On Quantum class we always go for The Grande dining room, MTD rooms lack ambience.
  5. What ship. Oasis class can be ocean view or interior balcony. Quantum class can be a obstructed deck 6 balcony. GTY'S are best for those who would be happy with any location. If booked with a US travel agent it is possible to change cabins after you receive your cabin number. Would not be wort it for us to book a GTY for a balcony, we have done it for a Suite.
  6. About $4 from your local Walmart. +++ Several markets in Barcelona also sell it, pick some up on boarding day. happy cruising
  7. Yes it has the same outside seating. We sat out there several times on our Alaska cruise last Sep. Freezing A cold but a nice view with very little wind.
  8. This looking from the bridge wing on Symphony. If you have a hump cabin you will see nothing but water looking straight down
  9. Yes they accept SB gift cards, you earn points but you can not purchase by redeeming points if you are a SB member. Only works from free standing SB kiosks, which is what they have on Allure.
  10. Every morning, not on debarkation morning. I believe it stops at 11:00. Only on Oasis Class ships. happy cruising
  11. It is a Add On from Elon Musk. Any cruise line that has switched to Starlink can access his portal for instant point to point transport. Latest upgrade was to include Oasis Class and Icon. Shareholders should fear not, Royal is working on a way to add a slight charge to guests and add a 18% fee.
  12. Yes just go to one restaurant. We have always found the lines are much shorter at Izumi or Wonderland. Almost everyone seems to go to Chop's to make their reservations. If you are waiting in the terminal the App will sometimes let you make reservations.
