Changeover Day on Back to Back Cruise
mo&fran replied to KerryJTaylor's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You can get your new seapass at GS the night before and will receive an IN TRANSIT card to facilitate reboarding. Then you can exit before the B2B group if you want. Remember, you will have to do muster again. BTW Ron Jon's surf shop is close by. A popular place to visit. -
Changeover Day on Back to Back Cruise

Customs normally uses facial recognition. You just walk up to a video screen , look at it, and it should recognize you from your passport photo, and you are on your way. You will be given instructions before, and will get your new seapass before getting off. But, you should have your passport, just in case, but also reboarding. Facial recognition gets everyone processed very quickly, no long lines. -

Oasis late in leaving Miami today 3/17/24

You ever notice that many people do not shut up and pay attention when the captain makes an announcement. Sometimes after those announcements I have the urge so exclaim loudly "Did you hear that , I wonder where we are going now". -
What essentials and fun items do you bring?
mo&fran replied to Love2cruise-71's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My carryon item I must have is a sweater. Stateroom attendants must be trained to always turn the thermostat to the coldest temperature. Too dam cold for me. I have had to call maintenance to fix the heat, it doesn't always work. -

When I was between wives, I had to learn, couldn't survive on the alternative. The only joy was having something to eat. Little story though. In those days, there was a little pizza place, where the guy made his own sauce and I loved it. So I usually drove up there about once a week for pizza and beer. The place was County Line pizza. As the name implies, it is on the county line with neighboring Martin county. The town in our county is Jupiter, in Martin is Tequesta. The pizza place had one waitress. Her husband was a Tequesta police officer. Must have been 1980 when the restaurant closed and the owner retired. During the restart we were booked on Odyssey. We got to chatting with , he probably noticed her Boston accent, and he had lived there at some point. Then he said he now living in Florida, and he is a Tequesta policemen. So , as we talked he said he had moved there in 1978. 2 years after I had moved down, I knew then he would know about county line pizza. When i mentioned the waitress, he just grinned. The waitress's husband was his boss when he first joined the force.

Lets face it, you move up a lot faster when to get the more expensive suites. That makes sense. It took us 5 long cruises all but 1 was in a suite to get the 10 cruises for elite. When they changed. we would probably made it in 3, we were mostly in a sky suite. The kicker point for a suite counts for every day. they changed the system after we came to RCI.

Using money onboard the ship (using credits)
mo&fran replied to Minuet888's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I have an RCI credit card. I charge all cruise expenses and do not carry a balance, so I pay no interest, and get points that I can use for OBC. But you can use a debit card, just put the info in when you checkin.
