Twin Dad

We cruised on the 3/31 sailing. Roatan is the only port that the time is different- one hour behind ship (Galveston) time. All others match Galveston time.

Just off Harmony where we did this. Our 16 year old twins in one room, my wife and I in the connecting balcony. Always gave our room number and no issue. Had same package you’re considering. Dan

@zanydoc with Royal’s pricing, sometimes it’s the thrill of the chase.

I usually go online, into order history for that cruise(upper right corner). Then you will see the option to cancel. Refund takes 1 day - 10 days to hit your form of payment.

Your magnets will work. Just be willing to part with whatever you put up there. Items have been known to disappear. Especially during break week cruises! Dan

I’ve been type 1 for 45 years. Not saying it’s right or wrong or medically recommended but the only time I refrigerate my insulin is at home, and that’s for everything except my in-use vial and a new unopened one I keep in my backpack. Doctor told me it wasn’t necessary to refrigerate for shorter periods like a week or two. Being on a pump I may use a vial every two weeks. I do use a Frio for excursions. It cools using evaporation. Have them check with their endocrinologist for their best practices. Good luck. Dan

Definitely do the two connecting rooms. We have done that on our last 4-5 cruises and the 3 upcoming cruises with our now 16 year old twin girls. One of the main reasons we did that was for the extra bathroom and certainly the privacy. I’ve always found two connecting ocean view balconies cost much less than suites. I have found the website can be screwy when listing connecting rooms so check frequently. good luck Dan

We have done both sushi and cupcake classes but on different ships. Both were a lot of fun. Everyone makes the same sushi rolls and if I remember correctly from our class last year, the California roll was the only vegetarian roll out of the 4-5 rolls made. Depending on the age of your granddaughter, cupcake class may be a better option.

Love Mr. Sanchos. Headed there for our 3rd time in April. They also have horseback riding there with a ride on the beach. Girls loved it.

I’ve worn both my CGM and insulin pump for many years on many cruises; no issues. Not even a chirp. Enjoy your cruise!

@Dolby1000 Not only do I have the G6, but also use the Tandem t:slim X2 which is tied to my G6. No need for internet at all. I’ve also used the Omnipod 5 with my G6 without issue. Started with G4 , then G5 all without issue. side note - have Dexcom troubleshoot your wife’s connection issues. I’ve only had issues when phone or app needed updating, when transmitter battery on sensor needed replacing, or the occasional phone rich environment. Moving phone to that side of body always fixed it.

thanks for that @Jumping Cruiser . I wish they would go ahead and release the July 2025 bookings!

Don’t focus so much on discount or other “sale” monikers. Look at total cost, including tip/tax to determine if it’s a bargain that fits your budget. Prices vary from ship to ship and even within same ship and different sailing dates. We have sailings booked where price is between $77.99 & $83.99 pp. you can always cancel a package purchase if price goes lower. As of now, Royal doesn’t limit the number or frequency of drinks. Depending on bartender/server, you maybe be able to order more than one at a time using same card. Dan

I just went back to check and as usual @Ourusualbeach was correct (pun intended). It was $39.95 pp to IAH and $31.95 pp to HOU - my wife had to go to Sacramento to pick up our girls and it was much easier from Hobby. Dan

I thought we paid about $75 per person (one way) to IAH after Presidents cruise. Dan
