Ocean Boy

Must have closed the foreign call center. RCI has a lot of debt to pay off.

Wait until the next recession or pandemic hits. Customer service will be stellar.

I really like the blocks. I visit the LA on every cruise that I am supposed to get one on to be sure I'm on the list.

Lint is not flammable on Princess?

I always specify when I order whether to use a voucher or not especially at the beginning of a cruise when the bartenders don't know me yet. I don't like surprises that then have to be fixed.

Phone calls from customers can be so annoying. Apparently RCI has fixed that problem.😇

Other than suites, you can still get refundable deposits. However, lately I have found the amount to be rather eye popping. RCI is definitely trying to push people into booking non-refundable. I wouldn't really mind non-refundable as I figure that another cruise is always in my future. However, I'd don't agree with them then charging a "change fee" if something comes up and you need to make a change before final payment is due. RCI wants to get people to book early and they also want the customer to assume all the risk of that early booking.

Invitation to Dance is probably my most disliked show on RCI. I think the show has been on the ship since it went into service... 23 years ago.

It is an amazing view of the Vatican and Rome.

Did you go up to the top of the dome?

Hopefully, you are taking a lot of pictures around the ship for future posting at your convenience. None of us, I think, has any idea what this ship looks like.

Thanks! I always enjoy seeing that particular one.🙂

Glad to hear the news about your daughter.

How did you like the renovated port area? I seem to be in the minority in that I really like Nassau.

Hmm, I'm not sure if that is good or bad news.
