I will be checking under Sink and bed now
Thisguylikestocruise replied to link99's topic in Royal Caribbean International
It’s not just individuals. I worked for a company that had cameras and microphones in the break room to monitor conversations. -

Thisguylikestocruise replied to link99's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Noticed on my recent cruise there’s a lot of parents that let kids roam around unsupervised. They need to realize it’s not a daycare where everyone gets background checks, there’s thousands of strangers onboard. Parents normally wouldn’t let small children walk alone in a city, so why do they trust a cruise ship so much. -

If it’s anything like horror movies, there would be a trap door underneath the bed he could use to enter and escape from. -

Maybe he was caught but claimed he was cleaning under the bed and got stuck. The passengers were probably thinking their stateroom attendant was extra thorough cleaning their room. I don’t understand the logistics of it otherwise. -

This is going to give me nightmares -
We were told three weeks ago on Wonder MTD without reservations started at 8:15pm. They gave us a business card with 8:15 written on it, and were told to come back then. It didn’t really make a difference if you had reservations or not. Both lines got mixed together and were sent to deck 3 for overflow tables. Johnny Rockets staff were filling in as MDR waiters since it was overcrowded and the line was out to the elevators. Your only option is the 5pm table or 8:15pm-9pm. Anytime in between that you won’t just wait in line, in my experience you get turned away.

Trenitalia Revises Luggage Policy on High-Speed Trains
Thisguylikestocruise replied to Girr's topic in Italy Ports
I looked on there website and googled it. There was nothing mentioned about a baggage policy update. Forcing you to leave luggage at the next station seems really harsh. Anywhere to see this policy update? -

Starting my Wonder research
Thisguylikestocruise replied to BillOh's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My wife and I just got off Wonder and had a 1 week thermal suite pass. When you go to the spa it’s downstairs to the deck below. We really enjoyed it overall, most times there were never more than 2 people. There’s 8 heated loungers, 2 tropical rain showers(one shower is much larger than the other). 1 wet sauna which was really intense, I had to cover my head with a towel to tolerate it. 1 dry sauna. Locker rooms next to the thermal suite and a room with fruit infused water. Only negative thing was the wet sauna wasn’t cleaned during our cruise, there was water on the floor that accumulated debris from people’s sandals and after a few days it was floating around. Also we were charged $260, and refunded $256, nobody at the spa could explain what this was for. Everything was booked months in advance from the cruise planner, including tips. -
I’ve stayed at Marcella Royal Hotel 2 weeks on my honeymoon and am booked there again this fall, 13 years later. It’s a 4 star hotel with fair prices and a beautiful rooftop bar, which includes breakfast overlooking the city each morning. Only con, and this is why it’s less money, is it’s an extra 10-15 minute walk compared to more centrally located hotels. We personally had no issue with this, but if you have limited mobility it’s something to consider.

Passport stolen on the way to the cruise port
Thisguylikestocruise replied to Silent Penguin's topic in Italy Ports
Not many situations I’d fight someone but if they steal my passport it’s going to be an all out brawl. -

What would a 9 night Greek Isles cruise from Civitavecchia in late September be like? Already have it booked, wish I would’ve picked Celebrity for this itinerary instead.

It’s not about expecting adults only. I think it’s reasonable to expect parents not to abandon really young children for lengthy timeframes. I have no problem with kids unless they’re grabbing food with bare hands, running into people, or purposely trying to disrupt other passengers vacation. It’s hard to predict when schools are out around the world, many of the kids are not from the U.S.

Same floating daycare I experienced on Wonder recently. February 2023 it was relaxing. Not sure what happened on the cruise two weeks ago. Mainly on sea days. It was taken over by unsupervised kids under 10. Sprinting barefoot on deck 15, came full speed around a corner outside the WJ and knocked a drink from my hand. Kept running. Elevators had all buttons pushed and kids ran off laughing.

Hideaway beach... Never again..

The free beds near the pool were available by 2pm when some people started to head back to the ship. -

Love the heated pool. Best one I’ve been in. It’s actually heated unlike some pools that are advertised as heated yet feel cold(Disney resorts) -
Itinerary for 5 nights in Rome?
Thisguylikestocruise replied to NCteacherlovescruising's topic in Italy Ports
RomeInLimo is quoting me €240 cash for 2 transfers(FCO-hotel, hotel-cruise port), and I’m not sure if the city tourist tax in Rome and Florence are cash or credit. I was hoping not to carry a lot of cash, but looks like that may not work. Taxi at the airport looks like the best option. Hotel in Rome is a 20 minute walk to the train station. Still trying to decide if I want to take the train to the cruise port or use private transfer.
