Just received an email from Andrea Juhasz for a sailing on Serenade next week for Suite Concierge.

Is it normal for RoyalUp to still be available 1 week before sailing?  I just rec'd an email for our Apr 1 sailing on IOS.  Last time we were booked on IOS, we rec'd confirmation of RoyalUp 12 days out from sailing.  I put in some bids on suite categories just for shiggles...

Anyone convince RCI to allow only one person in a stateroom to purchase the package?  My wife is an insulin dependent diabetic and doesn't drink as it throws off her blood glucose levels but I enjoy beer and bourbon/whiskey.  Right now forcing 2 packages for 1 drinker on a 7-day, 2 port cruise (Coco Cay is a sea day in my eyes since benefits carry over there) is a lot more than I would be able to consume to make the math work.  

I concur - usually changes are locked when something is in process of being worked / completed - if you are "in process" since 11/3, you are at that 7 week mark, pretty much in the sweet spot of the current turn-around times of 5-11 weeks.  I wouldn't sweat it, I bet your passports are in hand by EOY.

You realize that this was last posted in nearly 10 years ago, right?

I know a guy so cheap, he'd pack a roll of duct tape and use another to "close" his luggage up because the zipper broke and he didn't want to pay to fix it or to buy a new bag. Did this for years but then TSA kept opening his bag.

The last straw was his bag coming off the belt but contents were gone and never were to be recovered.

They forced his hand...but he had a good run. :D

MCO airport has put restrictions on Uber to protect the long-time bus and cab company in the area, Mears.

Taking an Uber from MCO will only be via black car (aka limo) service and will be pricey. Made that mistake after moving here... ride from my house to the airport, about $23. Airport to home (at 111:30P), $118.

Now I live close to Disney and not near the port but Uber service from the airport can be pricey.

Just as a FYI:

sales tax rates for FL ports

Miami - 7%

Ft Lauderdale - 6%

Tampa - 7%

Port Canaveral - 6.5%

I've bought vanilla in the pharmacia in town on the strip - big, cheap, plastic bottles, no coumarin

If you buy it duty free in the airport and are taking a flight in the same airport, they seal the purchase in a special way that meets regualtions.

If you buy it outside the airport, you will HAVE to check it...no way around it.

You might...I don't know though. I know buying duty free before leaving requires you to show them your ticket but I don't know how it works arriving

Just as an FYI...Puerto Rico is a US Territory so technically, you are in the US when in San Juan.

They do have a duty free shop and some things have good prices, others are ehhh. No where near St Thomas on some things but if you are looking for more without worrying about your limits, it's a good spot to pick up a couple more.

It's funny to see the pilots hitting the duty free shops on their change overs. Makes sense if they can shop duty free in US going to another US city.

And yes, no restaurants. The news stand with snacks is about all you are going to find!

Are there any on the Valor? If not, I'll try to get one in there on 5/15

There are log books on the cruise ships???

Patti, Thank you!!!
