Heard from my old Emirates colleagues about terrible flooding in Dubai causing havoc at the airports and the city. Feel for my friends dealing with massive disruptions. Been there too many times ...... Talking about weather in the UK we had all four seasons yesterday with rain and winds, sunshine and a hailstorm with big chips of ice.

Totally agree about the prices. I quite like Captain Morgan Spiced Gold 0.0, hubby has it with coke and I like it with ginger ale, but its very close to the normal price for a bottle of rum in the supermarket. BTW Tescos own NA gin and tonic mini cans are IMO better than Gordon's version

When can we begin booking on-board activites and shows?
sgmn replied to wrg's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Which ship? Vision and Radiance class of ship don't have pre bookable shows. No reservations required. Though there will be some onboard activities such as cupcake decorating or ships tour that you can book in advance. -
There are some great NA beers around including Guinness 0.0 which apparently is very good, but I've yet to taste a good NA wine. NA liquors (Gin, Rum lookalikes etc) are widely available in supermarkets and pubs now and great with tonic water or coke, so I really don't understand why Royal Caribbean is so slow to include more NA choice.

There's now a big choice in the shops and pubs of non alcoholic drinks, beers and wines. Unfortunately I haven't noticed much from Royal Caribbean apart from one or two choice of beer and the non alcoholic cocktails (which are usually too sweet for me). Hoping in the future more will be offered

And with Bonnie's in laws @BonTexasNY I pray for peace in the region and for our poor world

Revamp of C&A tiers? Cruises getting expensive!
sgmn replied to nolegirl01's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Well they're more expensive than my local pub, though agree similar to a city centre restaurant or sporting arena. The difference being you may only spend a couple of hours at that football or musical event, or occasionally visit a city centre bar. On board you're a captive audience for maybe several weeks with no other choice apart from port stops. Personally if I didn't have my diamond drinks I would pay per drink. No way could I bring myself to pay so much hard earned money on an alcohol package, especially on the longer cruises with long port days that I prefer. Oh for the days pre covid when a) prices were more reasonable B) they had wine and beer packages C) they had the 10 drink cards which were shareable and at a discount
