  1. SeaSpray, there is pm service if that is what you want. Haven't seen chocolates anywhere for years.
  2. I see things like this on the "Confiscated Items" table at the end of every cruise, along with a number of "cruise approved" irons and other appliances.
  3. Essential: required documents, toothbrush, hairbrush, undies. Fun: nice outfits for every evening. We have a lot of "things" at home. On a cruise, it's wonderful to have nothing visible in the cabin except the furniture that's already there.
  4. Or not use anything, and let the cabin lights turn off when we are not there. (Why should lights stay on when we're out??) As Chief Engineer confirms, not inserting a card does NOT turn off the cabin AC.
  5. Does your booking show your dining assignment? There could be Early, Late, or My Time. If you have Early or Late, the exact time will be on your ship card, along with the table number. If you have My Time (or whatever name HAL uses), you can just show up, or you can reserve times in advance.
  6. See the post "what are light cards?" Chief Engineer confirms that not using anything like this will NOT turn off the AC. In other words, just another unneeded product.
  7. .....and apparently, lots of people are falling for it. I see posts (mostly elsewhere!) mentioning Amazon's "Royal Caribbean Cruise Essentials". Then I see posts such as "Is everyone in my family required to buy and wear this lanyard?", "Do I need to worry about my luggage if I don't buy these luggage tag holders?" "I'm putting aside some $$ every month so I can buy the extras that RC requires." I understand there are dozens of items on the "essential" list...and growing. Appliances, electronics, bedding...
  8. In Mexico, yes. In Canada, I have yet to meet anyone who prefers US dollars. Why would they?
  9. We have done the spring TA three times. We always find it quite cool out on deck, due to the wind. I almost always wore two or three light layers on sea days if I was going to be on an upper deck.
  10. Vision was RC's Ship of the Year, 2023. She had the highest passenger reviews in the fleet. One of the things we like is the views of the sea from all over the ship, including a real Promenade Deck (as opposed to a Royal Promenade, aka inward-facing shopping mall).
  11. One more Amazon "must buy for a cruise" thing?
  12. Vision of the Seas, from Baltimore, does a nice 9-night C/NE cruise several times each season.
