My parents started in the 80's and dad died on a ship in 2008. They loved cruising. They stopped at diamond plus! My first royal cruise was with them In 2005. I had a celebrity before that. After new system I got 8 points for a 5 night in room with nephew and on serenade in 2011 as a solo traveler I only got 7. Doesn't make sense, but since then it is almost right for each cruise!

@blackwing I agree, just figured it would be cheaper than dealing with media circus!

At this point if I were ncl. I would refund there money and fly the. 1st class where ever they want to go and have them sign a release and that they will never travel ncl ever again....

I would hope the same way! They can't wait for those with no respect for the time of others. The fear of being left has to be real!

The more I read the less sorry I get. And they insinuate that ncl has abandoned them. That said, there is video of them on a boat that is not regularly for passengers, no guard rails, heading somewhere. They sure are getting plenty of video!

That is for harbor pilot and quick trip to bridge. How high above water is door we use at ports? Some ships a low as 10 feet.above water line. Think how high the harbor pilot ship usually is snd then how high rope ladder is and realize how far above the door we come and go from at ports!

That is a choice you make. My.brother does too. I chose to not have to worry and pay a few dollars more, I'm on vacation!

One of the news reports say the local coast guard was bringing them to shop and NCL said they had to get to Next port.....

Yes, with royal math price can be lower and fees go up! Therefore, lower initial cost higher final price! All part of the fun!

Best advice as royal math is fun to watch. Only way to get real price is in your cart and divide it out.

I saw that, maybe need a younger ta!

Through my usual group travel agency, we are scheduled on Celestyal Journey around June 13th. We stop at mykinos, Santorini and Ephesus with another short one. I've read that journey is now discovery, but TA says he hasn't heard yet....anybody know anything?

One of my non royal cruise had one od those lap pools with flowing water. By the time I figured it out, cruise.was over!

You have no idea!

Warm enough to relax, for me close to 104. I should want out in 15 min. Not worried about bugs.

I am probably wrong person to respond. I refuse hand sanitizer and always prefer washing hands. I avoid antibiotics and believe our bodies learn to fight what they are exposed to. So with that, I don't just jump in a hot tub if it doesnt look or smell clean or temp high enough. I don't take baths because I don't understand how you can be clean after you sit in dirt you just washed off. I swim in lakes and oceans and decide to live life with as few phobias as possible. If I'm tired and hot tub us really hot, I get in, of not a hot shower it is.

Take seapass to c&a desk and they can add it back in.

To be clear, I wad booked as a solo traveler. My brother wanted a ocean view balcony. While on phone with royal caribbean their agent suggested I move up to same part of ship, add $800 to my cost and it would not affect solo status. It was kids sail free. I.spent 800 more, my brother paid the same and I even ended up paying for his sofa package. If I had been told,.wouldn't havr given up points

POINTS make much more sense than days. So for my 2011 cruise that was before double points but after switch so I'm just sort of sol on that one. They refused my double points on another cruise because for booking purposes, on a kids sail free cruise my nephew was in my room. Never even walked in. And they used that to deny. So they gave me emerald early! Whoopy! Thanks for clearing that part up!

So, I have a 5 night Bermuda from NJ in 2007. I got 8 points as that is only one before change! Their math is always been a mystery to.me.

Challenge accepted!

Yup. Done that a few times!

Wow thanks, I'll keep looking, 11 night long enough? This is my longest RCI cruise to date, lots of 7 and one 8. I have a 13 day princess, but that was totally different!

I had just talked myself out of getting this on my 11 night Jewel OTS Southern Caribbean cruise when I logged in to find it at $66.99. Subtract $9.99 from that because if I don't get that, I get soda package and that is a really good deal compared to what they usually charge. I am paying just a bit more for this package then I did for 7 nights a few weeks ago on Harmony! Now wondering if I should get a dining package!

Just got it for $66.99 for 11 night Jewel OTS. Was able to get that on last cruise also.
