It’s free for Star class? Hmmm we may reconsider then. We had no desire to spend $48 per person but if free maybe. Thx!

Right. Makes sense. LAX would not close down due to a 4.8 but all structures out here have to be built to withstand earthquakes. Not so back east, especially with older buildings.

All checked in for my flight tomorrow!

Why? The earthquake?

Royal shuts down the ability to book anything two days before you cruise. You will be able to book onboard but the prices may not be discounted. Keep that in mind if you are waiting for prices to drop before booking dining, drinks or excursions.

We are having more cold RAIN here in Hermosa Beach, CA! Ugh. Glad I didn’t have to drive to work today. Our weather has been more east-coast like not the usual SoCal sunny warm weather we are used to. It is 48 degrees F outside RN not the usual 65-70 degrees. Crazy. Can’t wait for the warm Galveston temps!

So this just happened in my birth state! I grew up right outside of Princeton. Earthquakes are supposed to happen on CA not NJ! Did you feel it @Sailing12Away?

I think we can make that happen. 😏🥂🍾🎉

That is doable. It’s on my computer but happy to share when we get back. It was quite humorous at times. 😂 Glad you are following along. Once I retire anything is possible regarding future 🐭 cruises. 😎🥂

Work is done! Vacation has officially started! 🥳🥳 I’m headed over to my friends to go over trip dets and grab some dinner.

Wow! So I invited our Genie (and staff) to follow along here and, well.... WELCOME ABOARD WENDY and Harmony Crew!

Awesome! How easy is it to grab Uber/Lyft? Is one better than the other? Have you been to The Founder's Bar in the Grand Galvez? We will be staying at Home2Suites in Galveston.

Ok the website and App are working again. This is one reason why (tech issues) I always add my SeaPass to my Apple Wallet AND print everything out just in case. Murphy's Law seems to follow me around. I have learned to be prepared.

That is terrible - so sad. Prayers to all involved. 🙏 Safe travels home for you as well.

I think #1 is the larger one with the outside shower. It should be nice! We did not need a large one so booked the regular size. Plus we will only be there for a few hours as part of our Bar Crawl. Love your Avatar name BTW! 😂

Hmmm I hope it is not just me - I am unable to log into the App and the website.

Will do! I think we booked #7 which is close to where you enter the water to snorkel.

Which reminds me, you'd think at this day and age with AI what it is, these cruise company Apps and systems would know what type of cabin/services you have booked. I keep getting inundated with emails and pop-ups telling me to HURRY UP and book my drink package, specialty restaurants and Wifi before it is too late!! 😱 😱 Could it be a sales ploy to get the new-to-Royal pax to purchase things they don't need? I have no idea.

Just received this email from Royal Caribbean - ALMOST GO TIME!!:

Funny. 😆

My TA is onboard the Discovery Princess for the solar eclipse cruise. They will be sailing near Mazatlan during the eclipse where it will be at 100%! Lucky. I could have cancelled this cruise and gone on that one but…between Star Class or Eclipse? I’ll pick Star Class every day of the week! My TA and her group on Discovery:

First, @CreekHollowed THANKs for the Uber tip! @LuCruise We have booked a private car through Omega Royal SUV. The car will pick us up at the airport Marriott Hotel around 3:30 after everyone lands, grabs their luggage and gets over to the Marriott. Hopefully we will get to our hotel around 5. Thanks for following along. 😀

Interesting. It’s funny how some people get it and some don’t. As stated earlier by @mac_tlc I doubt they do much with it. I think it is fun just to answer the crazy questions! 😂

Great suggestions! Will do the laundry thing too!

Any other tips? Things not to miss?
