But ... best BANG for your buck ! Cheers

I'm gonna be the first to answer this differently. To me , not a chance ! However , the fact that OP is asking is reason to believe they can afford the extra if they choose to , so why not follow your heart . That said , in any case , doing it for the faster climb to Diamond would be silly... Clearly not "WORTH" that ! Cheers !

2800 C&A members on Harmony in October ... Seems pretty consistent on those 2 at least .That's a LOT of new blood !

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Exactly This ! , And that's not excusing the practice by hotels and airlines Cheers

I disagree totally. (Most cruisers and the general public) as you state are upset , yes , at Royal's shortage of rooms . However the true outrage is and should be at the paltry attempt at compensation to those affected for such devastating news. I don't know what would constitute Proper compensation ,but I do feel they haven't even scratched the surface !! Billion dollar profits and treating your customers like that is Disgraceful !

I hear ya. With retirement closing in on us , I can see the opportunity for more frequent bookings , but not sure if it will ever lead to those kinda numbers . The only way I could realistically see a major increase in days at sea would be if moving were on the taqble Cheers .... enjoy every minute of it!

LOL Only 93 points you say ... As it has taken us 16 years to reach 88 ! Cheers

By your thread title this is helpful... By your post content this is not. Most memorable excursion we have ever taken was Mad max dune buggy tour in St. Kitts. Travelled On road/Off road , 1 end of the island to the other with excellent stops for viewing along the way Cheers

Have you ever spent anytime after lunch near the main bar at Oasis lagoon ? I don't think you could create more of a loud party atmosphere than is already available there ! Because of this , I'm surprised they are implying the adult only will be made to be a party area of any kind . Cheers

If you think anyone at that bar is gonna settle for 1 drink an hour , you are sadly mistaken. Cheers,cheers , and cheers again

Plenty of rich Daddies that think sending their daughters on an "innocent" senior trip is a great idea . Cheers

Congrats Sounds like an exciting and significant life change ahead Hope you enjoy the next phase to the fullest ! Cheers

OP asked about spot most suitable for motion sickness as well. Outside balconies are not the best option for this . The closer to the center of the ship and lower the deck the better . I personally would go with CP deck 9 , that way if there were times when this became an issue , at least you can come out for air , but still not be facing ocean . The other option as I think Biker stated is a very low inside cabin . Definitely the least movement you can possibly find , but , If you ever were to find yourself not feeling so great , you are confined to a very small space with no open air . Most likely either way you would be fine as these Megaships are extremely stable on the water Cheers

Or maybe also between the 8 of you , you could pool together a specialty dining night for them ..?! OOps , sorry , just saw above post

Huh ?

So tell him that . Problem solved Cheers

I can only imagine what it must have been like to try to walk the boardwalk that night ..?!

Agreed

Unless of course , you are denied access to the the lounge as some are stating

To clarify ...So nobody else boarded before 12:15 ? Or Others were boarding way ahead of you ? If it's the latter I would be truly P!$$#D Cheers

4 drinks per person per day Is your Spouse Diamond ? If so that is why you will be showing Diamond Cheers

You mentioned tipping in a thread that was not about tipping ...You've been around long enough to know what that means

That is also a sign you need a new one . A good one is definitely not limited to office hours Cheers

This is the description off the web . More Specific Routes are at Arubus.com . You should be able to find everything there , but they cover most of the island I believe "The busses on the island belong to Arubus, the major public transportation company owned by the Government of Aruba. Aruba bus routes cover almost the entire island and stop at all hotels. If you want to see the exact routes or the full Aruba bus map, check out the website of Arubus. There is bus service every 15 minutes from 5:45 a.m. until 6 p.m.; buses then run every 40 minutes until 11:30 p.m. The central bus station in downtown Oranjestad is located adjacent to the cruise terminal and next to Royal Plaza. Would you like to know what time the bus pays your stop a visit? The website of Arubus shows you the route and the Aruba bus schedule for each route. The Aruba bus stops are easy to find. There is a visible sign on the side of the bus. For instance the stop at your hotel will display the hotel and town that each individual bus is in route too " Cheers

I call B.S. Why would they ban him from sailing ? Maybe banned from the casino would make sense ... What's he gonna do , count the baloons in the drop and try to win a bet against some unsuspecting Pinnacle ?
