Bob what's a bollard, that you say you see, so I can get it closer next time. So those metal things up higher on the ropes on icon are to keep grats off the ship. Is this a common problem that rats try and get up the ropes? I just see those metal things on icon ropes, didnt see them on adventure. Each icon rope had a metal thing up a ways you can kinda see in my first 2 pictures. Well hot and muggy and sunny has returned. I was happy with cool and rainy and windy.

Hi I always see pictures of the ropes holding the ships. Is there a rule of thumb what people want in the picture. Close up of the rope? I took some far away of icon so the ship name shows. Some close ups of adventure. What should I take in the shot that makes it a good rope picture. Icon had some kind of plastic things up higher toward the ship I took in one picture though it's not good of the ropes. But never saw the blue plastic things. I could use some pro pointers what it is people like in rope pics. Coco cay, 2 icon, 2 adventure to compare.

Ham and bacon and scrambled eggs to me is a real breakfast, more than what I would have expected. I was thinking just bread or pastries when you all kept saying not a full breakfast. Juice? Or just coffee, though I'm good with coffee if there is cream. Cant drink it black. Sounds filling to me. What is a big breakfast to you? Sounds great to me. Thanks so much.

I've done celebrity and it was different, a change. The bathroom seemed bigger, better amenities at the time. Furniture nicer and more wood. I'm still in the idk category. I'll do it again but wasnt so thrilled I said boy this is my vibe. Cant wait to do celebrity again. I'm still deciding if it's worth more money from me. Being solo i felt like I'm paying for amenities for 2. Royal at DP340 is better priced.

Bahamas is rainy. We did nassau today and it rained again. Some guy said this just isnt the cruise to see stuff. .. though if it's me I just go and do what I want. But not good beach days ok. Nice and cool for a lovely change. Tomorrow is coco cay. I dont think the rain missed us even one day but I love storms. Just saying the Bahamas arent exactly where it's better perhaps weather wise. A bit rainy.

I'm solo so I assume in 4 days less? You say we used 300 euros... how many is we.

Could one of you tell me what they offered for breakfast. Is it brought to your room, not a buffet. Both of you say it was great, but neither says a word about what the food was. Coffee juice, bread... what else? Anything pastries? Give me a hint please. I am booked next may and have a excursion I meet at 9 am. Will I get enough to last me until a late lunch. Thanks. I've never been and so I really do not have any idea what to expect.

I did a 14 day journey cruise and we had 11 kids onboard. More fast food and a awesome country band, we were out of texas. The longer not only fewer kids but imo more seniors. Market was cornered on scooters and walkers on my very senior cruise. The 14 day journey cruises I think younger people cant take so much time off and in a hurry. Nice cruise but i didnt see the partying side but lots got up to dance when the favorite band played. We followed them from venue to venue, sorry for that younger band. People want good music not a girl in a short mini skirt at a certain age. Turned out the country band was from south africa, so funny to talk to them and hear them talk. They learned 800 country songs and sounded like the real thing then that almost British twang when they spoke. Hahahaha.

Oh please. This whole thread is a joke imo. As I first posted everyone likes freebies. More more everyone in america says. My wishes were joking and besides I'll be pinnacle myself by the end of next year so I was being smart alecky.

Also ask if any obc different. I think I usually get a $50 obc for booking early. If you are within I think 6 months can lose this when repricing. When I hit 340 pts i couldn't reprice close in. Group rates were withdrawn about 4 months out. Cant reprice of course within final payment. Though they finally kicked in took longer than I hoped. Had to wait first for pts to add. So 4 months since I do group rates mostly plus the days for my pts to post. Got there in sept, couldnt reprice last week of January.

I second this. They did have excursions on good sale 30% off last time 35% the year before. Lunches 40% off. 3 or 4 person wifi on sale ... but didnt see drinks on particular sale. People advising you maybe dont remember that drinks werent on sale last 2 years on black Friday in particular. Nothing special sale. Agree with philly fan on this .. dont expect everything to be on sale.

I agree up to a point. Book when you see a price you can live with. But imo royals pricing power is eroding. There are signs the economy is softening and royal is running into a wall on ever increasing prices. You too have seen some better prices you posted as have i. If 6 other travel stocks all said bookings are slowing its naive to think royal is immune. ..though what will be popular to some degree is impossible to predict. So book ahead is good advice. But I believe there will be more good last minute deals too. I'm ready to pounce if only I had more free time. Prices are not going up like before from what I'm seeing though. Some like that Panama transit though if you wanted a balcony book asap. Or if you are picky about your cabin book sooner not later.

You cannot prebook shows on those smaller ships like adventure. I'm on adventure right now. The 2 tenors was a good show but who knows when you are on. I really enjoyed the finale of the adult karoke. Really good talent among the passengers onboard. Though the best imo didnt win. So I was glad I saw the top ten.

I'd sure love unlimited wifi at my level. I'd trade my drink vouchers if we are all sitting around wishing and hoping.

Usually around 5 and 830 pm. One a tad too early, one way too late for me.
