I dont think people book because of Halloween. It's not a school holiday. Thanksgiving week is more, not Halloween.

Izumi hibachi for dinner full priced on my ships is 59.99. This is what they would charge me onboard. I can book direct 15% off before I board right now. I've never seen it cheaper onboard unless someone discounts it for you.

That would be my worry, I gamble to get offers and all my offers are in ports I have to fly to

I only remember a tiny discount if I also bought wifi. I wanted a discount on excursions, never happened. This is a rcl thing, not a carnival thing.

Yes 4 posters in this thread have that color with some really beautiful furniture. Turned out my painter just painted the walls that color, ceiling white. For such a big price I assumed he was painting everything, but I'm not so sure what it needed, havent been there yet. Brownish grey, it goes with everything. Lol it's very agreeable.

There is a data center opening every 3 days, needs the power of 80 homes to run. Blame A1 gearing up.

Ok I just asked for the name, since I read you werent there yet, but thanks anyway if you dont want to share the name, it's ok.

What hotel in rome. I'm doing a TA may 2025 and looking at rome hotels, maybe for more than 1 night.

If I was there I'd have done it.. .that's a really good price for sure.

Did you book the wonder deal? What kind of price did you find last minute?

A solo inside for 15 days would cost less than a JS for 10 days solo. Same points. Cheapest would probably be new orleans or one of the older ships out of tampa. Grandeur cheap usually. The TA might be cheaper mentioned above if you dont count airfare.

Hahaha. Did I mention him bragging about punching out his hc grandson. They hadnt moved in a month and 6 or so police cars were there neighbors told me. Yes the kid has a mouth. He has flippers for hands and had a leg amputated. Son of my bil favorite who is the one I mentioned taking my stuff to sell in her store. Yes I'm sure the kid has issues, but so does my sister. He called his mom the B word and others, so big shot bil punched him, 3 times. Kid called 911 and police came. Bil had to go to court and pay a fine and was on probation 6 months last year. So brave punching a kid with amputated leg and no hands. I think there but for Karen's money goes my sister. She can be mouthy too. I told him to stop. He said if the kids mom his daughter just would punch him out that would solve the respect problem. He doesnt listen to me. He wanted to fly to maine and I said I can book it. Oh we want to fly in and just drive around. He wouldnt hear of booking hotels ahead. He wants to drive around looking for a vacancy sign. Finally they gave up. Now they want to plan a trip to ireland and just go. He keeps saying stop in a pub like tv movies and share a pint. None of them drink. No planned hotels, just go and play it by ear. I'm refusing to rise to the bait. Let them do what they will. To homestead the house karen my sister needs a ID with the address on it. Last year he said he did it. Not done. House isnt home steaded. He promised to do it yesterday. I'm paying the property taxes, they dont care. He makes promises he doesnt keep. Homesteading the house is the last thing before I move. She doesnt drive so no drivers license, but texas issues a texas ID and address has to match. 3 days ago I got the rejection letter from dallas property appraisal district. He told me last year he did update her ID but didnt. His bad memory always used as a excuse. One more thing then I'm free of here.

I had serious anger issues last year. Somehow buying the new florida condo helped and now I no longer wake up so angry I cant sleep. Yes I dont want to live near them. I admit it. He snuck I to the safe 2 days after moms funeral. Even after I explained the house was in my name only, not my sisters he went right back and cleaned out the house. 9 days after moms funeral they had a garage sale. I went over to check the mail and like a bunch of hillbillies they piled up stuff on the tree lawn. They cleaned out MY bedroom. They had my HS year books out in the pile in the rain. Top of the pile was my parents wedding photo books. She runs a 2nd hand store and took whatever she wanted without asking me. I asked her what gave her to think it was ok to throw out stuff. She said oh I asked your sister. My sister has a 80 IQ and would agree to anything. She had no authority to decide what I got to keep. I was pretty angry last year. Probably miserable to be around. I woke up at 3 am so angry I coukdnt sleep. The doll my mom kept in a tiny rocking chair in her living room was my doll I got at age 3 moms tells me when I agreed to stop sucking my thumb and I quit as promised. Gone. They were there when my cousin at the funeral said she was collecting pictures of my moms family. How could they not know to keep pictures.... and took off with quilts some of which I got back recently when even now she remembers I said I wanted the quilts and relish tray. I said how could I decide what I want if you guys took it and I didnt see it was there? I said you coukdnt tell I was pissed when I asked why my stuff was sitting out in a pile in the rain. She said wel, she didnt know why I was angry, maybe I had a bad day. I was livid both times I confronted them. It's like dealing with Larry Curley and Moe. I called his pastor even and called him a thief. Like there was a rolling tool cart really nice in the garage he asked to give to someone at his church. I said no I'm not ready to decide. He gave it away anyway. I told my gp doctor I had anger issues and he right away starts defending my hc sister. I'm sick and tired all my life no one is ever on my side. I'm always supposed to be ok with her misbehaving. And his family is greedy imo I dont care what he says. Hes broken every promise to us the whole marriage dealing with money. This is who is picking up mail for the taxes I filed .. I gave them the house. So mail still goes there. We talked it out recently. He says I need to get over it and move on. I said both sides of the family agree even a moron knows you dont go into someone elses safe without asking. And we dropped it. I'm moving to florida and it's a blessing how well that is working out. It was meant to be. I want my life back. Last year I was a very unhappy individual. Taxes got filed thursday. Missing a few papers I'm afraid, but best I could gather. Filed 5 taxes. The cpa and ubs are keepers. I couldnt find a cpa who would file trusts. Many cpa will not. My fix it guy evidently is muslim though idk but the cpa he uses I am sure they are. The women wear those head scarves. So when they were closed Wednesday I tried to tell myself it was something Muslim..whew it was. Very nice folks. So glad I found them. Yes I'm coming out the other end. You are so right. I cant wait. I've been generously giving them checks. I for sure want him happy, dont want my sister moving in with me. If money helps, heres more money. My sister does nothing but get her hair done and nails done. She does no work. No cleaning, cooking, or any housework. He is a ball of energy. I'm willing to pay him off as my mom did. We paid off their mortgage and gave them a monthly check before she died. I want my freedom. It's my turn. He sold their house to move into moms is why probably the first time in his life he had a pile of cash. Hence him going crazy and buying the pick up. Give it to your daughter, buy a family car. I see a light at the end of this tunnel. My anger disappeared finally. Sorry if my anger spilled out on cc.

We had a gun incident at a school here. Might only be local news because whomever the kid shot didnt die, hospitalized. School has clear backpacks and metal detectors. I'd like to know how he got the gun into the school. Listened to supevervisor of the school say we all need to work together. Emergency responded perfectly. Theh showed how fire trucks parked to line up from the school outward to give cops shelter approaching the school. Id never seen it from above how they park for shootings. Lucky no one died. Id still like to know how the gun got past metal detectors. .

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. I can see why tv is so important to you. I havent yet learned to stream but it's on my list. Lol when I move next month I'm giving up my land line. No one but me uses a landline. The ads for her show make it look fun to me. Idk.

6. Izumi hibachi was a $15 surcharge. They seem to want to discourage bookings. Might have gone up but you pay extra to eat there with a pkg.

I got a email from rcl saying up to $13 pp ... and one from TA for more. I dont remember maybe $18 but more than the top of the range rcl email said. Not until oct and xmas cruise affected. Oct was more than rcl range. I'll wait and just be surprised.

I got posts on my October harmony they called and got price drops. October prices seem to have dropped. Maybe I should check mine but I doubt if I see a lower price. But doesnt hurt to check. Mine is a special 8 day to coco cay so I also got a email from my TA about adding Bahamas taxes since I booked.

I wouldn't say this list is what is full priced. Other than auto tips, none of this is necessary imo. I do get obc from owning 100 shares of rcl and from booking. .. and I spend some of that on excursions, pay restaurants and wifi and maybe excursions. You dont mention wifi so I'm guessing not important to you. The app has a chat feature for free. Dont need wifi for it. But for me I love my wifi best. For you not important.

Yours must not have been after final payment sounds like yours is different than OPs.

I cant sign in online so it's not just a app problem. I'm waiting for rcl to fix the sign in problem.

This ... the set price is for one labelled smaller, 2 large and a dessert. Dinner is not the same as ala carte menu. 2 different choices. Set dinner they bring the endame beans salted and the one soup choice is free. I prefer the wonton a small choice. Many of the large choices are a LOT of food. I never can finish. You can ask for hot tea too included.

Oil green today and iran still a worry. As a interesting sidenote, this last unemployment numbers showed number of foreign born who got new jobs. Never seen this emphasized before. Twice as many foreign born got jobs as nationals who lost jobs. The fed keeps citing how tight the labor market is when they are debating rate cuts. Adding in "foreign born" who took new jobs is kinda like "hey dummies... of course the labor market is tight and going to stay that way with new workers coming in. I think the fed might have to change its thought process a bit. Inflation isnt tamed is also echoing thru the market. Higher oil and higher interest rates weigh on rcl. Yes I've read rcl hedges oil out 6 months, dont know if still true... but people trade on emotions. Risks. One other bit is they made drilling in the Yukon or wherever it's called more expensive by a LOT. Huge jump in price to drill and they have to pay royalties, not sure who to, but oil under pressure from this news.

Really? News to me. As a matter of fact I went to a banana plantation on a excursion in Panama that was some name like train to the jungle. Was a banana plantation at the end., not a jungle. Port colon panama.

Thanks for replying to my question. Seems lots onboard are hearing the dock was broken. Still posts asking if it's fixed on my may 6th mariner. Hopefully a one day fix. Anyone else have any information if the dock is fixed today?
