email for customer service on Explorer of the Seas

Isn't that the guestrelations@rci.com? -
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. -
Crown Lounge - Diamond Entrance During Happy Hour
mo&fran replied to Orange jeep's topic in Royal Caribbean International
From reading this thread, it seems the only erosion of benefits is the about the access to the lounges and the coffee machine in the morning. I don't drink coffee , and since we have the vouchers, we rarely go in the lounge anyway unless we need to see the concierge, access is no big deal. Since we turned Pinn about a year and a half ago, I have loved the faster boarding, breakfast in Chops, and free internet. We still get a bunch of wine and water, which we got as D+ anyway. I often do not even use up my extra free drink. -
New 3rd dining time for traditional dining
mo&fran replied to cruiseboy89130's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I like MTD, we can usually get a time to our liking, and since the restart, since I use a rollator, they have been seating us near the entrance. And we keep the same table the entire cruise. If I had traditional, I don't know if there is a way to make that fact known so they can use that information to choose a table. OR even if they would bother. Curious, we have a bunch of cruises booked on Freedom this coming October. As soon as they appeared on the website, i went to book my time, and MTD didn't start till 715, which I thought strange. We prefer 630 - 645. Now that they are talking about adding another shift , it fits in with what's happening. I did have to laugh about people showing up late and having other people seated at their assigned table. We almots had that happen to use, the early diners shows up late to their assigned table If we had just gotten there a little earlier or they were just a little later. I told the waiter that our early cruises, if your time to eat was 6:00 . and you weren't there by 615 ,you didn't eat because the doors were closed and locked. -
When I got my current TV, a 72 inch Sony, the deal was the would deliver the TV and take the old one away. As I was paying, the guy asked if my old tv was larger than 45 in, I said yes, it is 55. Out of curiosity, I asked what difference does that make. He replied that he had to send a big guy. I said, "if he can carry a 72 in, taking the 55 out shouldn't be a problem". Apparently, the TV's have become lighter, so my 55in Samsung weighed more than my new TV. BTW , Sony and Samsung , for that size were the same price.

mo&fran replied to Phamer55's topic in Royal Caribbean International
East coast ships goto Coco Cay where they siphon money out of cruisers wallets, without burning a lot of fuel doing it. they have to figure out how to more Oasis class ships with the existing terminals. THis year they had freedom class doing them -
Hideaway beach... Never again..
mo&fran replied to colesc15's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Are you sure it has a heater. Looks shallow, and the sun would heat it pretty quickly. Plus a lot of people in it.
