Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. From the yt videos I have watched, they either show a brief trip thru or discuss the process went quickly. This may or may not be true, but I can say the Aruba trip had many people with the same experience I did when I went. So I hope is fine no matter what.
  2. I don't take anything in a forum acutely. I do all my stressing before the cruise or vacation. Once it starts, I lean on prep for fun. I actually like knowing and doing and getting the edge.
  3. Not worried about carrying space. On none Alaskan cruises I generally hang out in various spots around the ship if not on my balcony. I wish there were more hammocks on ships, I would love to dangle. I wanted to mainly get them as gifts for the others in our party. I am hoping for good weather but wouldn't mind it to be on the colder side of good. Just less wet.
  4. Look I get it. On our last cruise to Aruba out of ft lauderdale or Miami I don't remember but it was terrible. Nobody knew where to go or what line to be in. And to make it worse, 3-4 different royal employees came out and gave 5-6 different set of instructions. We were waiting in line and yet others just walked up and got in an they were not suite or key. After 30 minutes others from our line just walked in. Other ports have been run better. We still just try and follow the rules. Which includes trying to get the early boarding, and then arrive at that time. I can't effect rcl as well as the crowd.
  5. Thanks for the advice. To each his/her own. I like to follow the rules and I like to be prepared. Ship time is what I thought. Royals app/online systems are always wonky. I will schedule accordingly. Ty
  6. This is what I am asking about. So the questions are. Anyone have 1 in the room? Anyone get 1 to use upon request? Or did they have to buy it?
  7. This is my first west coast cruise. I normally set my calendar for the day before at or before midnight to check in and get the early slot. Watching a suggestion video i heard checkin was midnight in the time zone of the host city. Does that mean it's 3am eastern? It's a Seattle cruise.
  8. Or is it balcony or suit or upon request? The blankets for sale in the precruise section including birthday stuff and chocolate cover strawberries. It's like 39$. I remember seeing some people report 1 was in the room when they arrived and others said they had to purchase. We have 10 people going in may on ovation but some are inside rooms and some balconies.
  9. Yes ty all. I will email in the hopes that it works and verify as soon as I board. My family is familar with my board go places routine. I usually do whatever shows ( before they started allowing the app and even the app at the port) and food reservation. I also try to go to the spa and get my name in the raffle. We won once.
  10. 2 questions, first are tables of 10 possible and also how difficult are they to get? It wouldn't ruin my life if you all told me 8 was the max. I know it would make my wife happier.
  11. ty all, yes we are gty, so not across the hall, unless we get lucky. i will wait until onboard to discuss with the guest services. ty all
  12. We are a family of 4. We have usually booked 1 room and crammed ourselves in. Honestly wasn't an issue, even when we got COVID last oct. But we have decided for our upcoming Alaskan cruise, to get an inside room for my son (19) and daughter (12). And a balcony for the 2 people paying for the trip. My son will actually almost be 21 for the trip. Rcl limits the age to 21 for the primary person, so for the booking we put the boys in the 1 room and the girls in the other ( I secretly stuck my wife and daughter in the side......hehehe). So my question is if it's possible to go to guest services on board and get them to issue room keys for the correct orientation? I know that we can just switch door keys or wow bands, but then boarding and purchases and such will be off. I know if we wanted to rearrange things we could spring for 2 balcony's or 2 other similar rooms and maybe even connecting rooms, but we are to cheap to pay more for them. And besides I am kind of hoping our gty's ( like I said cheap.....) Would put us on as far away rooms as possible. I am jk, I honestly was fine with them in the room. Thanks in advance for the info.
