We are 2 weeks out and still no cabin #, on Enchantment.

I believe no bottled water but the Coke Freestyle machine has water in it.

I got my email at 70 days and bid right away. My minimum bid was accepted 2 out of 4 times.

I was lucky then! My daughter applied on Jan 3rd at the post office regular processing time and we just got it today, so 7 weeks. @mandyleighflies do your kids' passports look totally different than yours? My 18 yo just applied for her 1st adult passport and got it in October 2022. Hers looks like mine which is pretty old. My younger daughter's that arrived today is a totally different look! Wondered if they changed minor passports or just updated all passport features recently?
Our passports that came in the last 2 weeks look different.

I have a b2b from 2009 that had to be cancelled because a tree fell on me. The cruises still show but no points attached.

Same situation. If the renewed passport does not arrive, will RCCL let us board with only a birth certificate and government ID?
Our renewed passport just took a little short of 8 weeks.

Use the app to get a check in time (no passport info needed). Fill in the passport info when you get it.
That's what I just did. No problems.

It took 7 weeks to get our renewed passport.

I don't think so.

For this excursion, it says " guests must be able to access the tour transportation on their own". What exactly does this mean? I have never seen that.

Does anyone have any very recent passport renewal times?

Onboard!
The ride back to the empty Baltimore airport was uneventful and I quickly found the long line of taxis sitting there waiting for somebody to come along. The ride to the cruise port took about 15 minutes and cost a little over $40 in cab fare, plus tip.My giant, somewhat intimidating driver never asked me which cruise line or ship I was on, so I assumed we were the only ship in Port today and I was right about that. It is a cold grey day so everybody is inside wearing their coats.
boarding was easy. I arrived at five minutes after 11 and I was on board by 1130. Just as I was stepping onto the ship the smell of sewage hit me. It hit me so powerfully I thought for a moment the guy in front of me had an accident in his pants. It was quite bad. It's faded inside but it's very prevalent in the centrum area. I'm hoping that will pass once we get out to sea.
it didn't take long to explore the ship. Yes, she is small and dated as I knew she would be, but she is in very nice condition and has beautiful touches and lovely art all throughout.
I did muster drill, then got sandwiches and coffee at Café latitudes, but discovered that all of the sandwiches have mayonnaise on them, which I am allergic to. I came up to the solarium for a salad and pizza and pretty soon this place filled up. There's not a single table available in sight. Just for kicks I did take a peek in Windjammer and my goodness. What a zoo. There was literally not one single seat to be had, not even the single seats barstool style facing the windows. And even though all of the tables were full there was tons and tons of people wandering around filling up their plates so I have no idea where they intended to sit.
The pools are currently empty and being scrubbed or worked on in someway by several crewmembers down in their depths working with some sort of tools. There is one hot tub on deck bubbling away just daring anyone to get in it but it's awfully cold out there and nobody is jumping in. Down here in the solarium, the two indoor hot tubs are chock full of people.
My lunchtime salad was crisp and fresh and made to order, and the pizza is hot and delicious. If you like your pizza extra cheesey and extra greasy, this is the place for you.
Rooms are ready (1 pm!) but I'm in no hurry to get down there and start the unpacking process. We have a full schedule of events today, including shopping, free gaming lessons in the casino, trivia, a comedian this evening, and of course tons of live music. I saw the Schooner bar and it is beautiful, though it was occupied by two parties of three women each and they were all just shrieking at the top of their lungs and slamming down the drinks.
So far the most beautiful place on ship is the spotlight lounge on deck six. It is just gorgeous and it's right at the end of the ship so you have lovely views looking out.
A year ago we were on Enchantment and there were 3 or 4 big wigs walking through the Spotlight Lounge looking at the carpet. They were saying they needed to replace it because of some bad spots. I didn't notice these areas until they pointed to them.

We have cruised in interiors before, but we've always been able to walk around the sides of the bed. Neither the desk nor the little couch have ever touched the bed in our experience, and we've never had to crawl into bed from the bottom.
What category of inside cabin did you book?
Exactly, we always book insides on different ships and have never had the desk or couch up against the bed.

The only time we decided to eat in the Windjammer for dinner, there was a large multinational group onboard. The sold some sort of nutritional product. Most ate in the Windjammer every night. Lines were long and tables hard to come by. You could tell they were from the group because they wore matching t shirts almost every night.

Is this free? We were on Independence a month ago and there was a board next to the restaurant with prices on it.

My husband was told no on Allure.

Just an FYI for others, I saw some more explanations on another board, and “new” means within the past 30 days, and “redeemed” means attached to the reservation. Now I’m wondering if we reprice a cruise from one with the OBC attached through myvegas, will we lose it or be able to move it along with the next one.....I’m assuming lose it.....but doesn’t hurt to ask!
You can reprice and keep the OBC. We have done it many times.

HOLY COW I forgot about MyVegas! I did this a lot a long time ago for a trip to Vegas and realized I don't need to go back, so I stopped.....
Booked my first cruise with RCL last Sunday for May 2022.....so I look at the rules, and it says "new bookings only" and "must be redeemed by Oct, 5 2021"........
Would that mean that I would have to redeem before I book? And I would have to sail before Oct 5? If I can make this work, I will be super excited.....
You have to redeem within 30 days, not sail. Cruise cannot be more than a year out.

Just go to almost any bar when you get on. Show them your card and they will give you the cup. I know the bar in front of the Windjammer does, that is where I get mine when I have prepurchased it.

As long as they leave more than one set of towels per person, I have no issue with this.
I don't use one towel just once, usually change about every 4th day at home, so why would I need a different towel each day on the cruise.

I just got off the phone with Royal. Called the C&A # and it was answered in about 2 minutes.
That's been my experience 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Now the secret is out.

I used to call C&A number but not anymore. Now I would call 866-562-7625 early in the morning or around 7-8 in the evening .I was calling the other night to get the price reduction for our cruise and only have to wait 1 minute.
I have only had to wait less than a minute when calling C & A #.

Sprite zero at bars, I'm not aware of the others you are asking about.
