  1. Agree this is an awful situation, and I dread to think what the parents are currently feeling.

     

     

     

    I only mentioned convening at muster station as technically that is the convening point for emergencies, and is specicifically set up to take roll in an organized and quick manner. I also appreciate that going to cabins is less stressful for passengers, I just felt that it may be more time consuming.

     

     

     

    Whilst I am glad 2 of the 3 missing people have been accounted for, I still pray for the 16 year old.

     

     

    While you are at your muster station, they are systematically checking staterooms.

  2. Has Royal Caribbean changed recently about giving lanyards and pins to returning Crown and Anchor Members? They use to have them in the room upon your arrival. My daughter just came off the Allure of the Seas and this is her 4th cruise aboard Royal Caribbean and she said that they didn't have them in the room like previous cruises.

     

     

     

    No lanyard, no pin, no RCCL love either.

  3. Hi All,

     

     

     

    I just booked a cruise for November 9th on the Dream from New Orleans and need your help.

     

     

     

    Has anyone travelled out of New Orleans? Flying in the day before and not sure where to stay or how close the port is to the city. I'd like to visit the French Quarter - hotel and transportation suggestions to port the next day would be appreciated.

     

     

     

    Also wondering how to book the Cloud Spa as I am going solo and didn't have the money for anything but a regular room.

     

     

     

    Finally, has anyone done the Chefs Table on the Dream? Thinking of booking that too.

     

     

     

    Any other ideas and can't misses would be appreciated

     

     

     

    I am so excited I can't wait :D

     

     

    Stayed at Hampton Inn New Orleans Convention Center a couple of years ago. Very convenient. Close to the port. Easy access to Riverwalk and casino. New Orleans is fairly easy to get around.

  4. We usually only cruise balcony rooms or Family insides, but there is a great deal for next October for all 3 of us to cruise on Oasis in a JS for $3,400. I know they are not technically a suite, so what are the advantages?

     

    It's worth it just to avoid the tiny showers in the Balcony staterooms. We're in our mid 60's and we enjoyed the tub/shower.

  5. 1st time on RCCL. Just booked a family trip on Grandeur of the Seas out of Baltimore for summer 2015. 2 adults, 3 kids 14,12 and 8 at the time of sailing. What can I expect?

    The Grandeur is a good ship. The crew are nice and very friendly. We enjoyed the dining room but also did the specialty restaurants which were also nice. The ship is not large therefore it is easy to get around and find the things you like. We cruised on her last year and will be on her again in October. She is an older ship so don't expect the fancy things that are on the larger newer ships. Did not have children with us so I cannot comment on youth activities, but the adults should find it relaxing and enjoyable.

  6. Would you rather fly to FLL

    To take a newer ship? after rewarding about the fire etc and that it was built in mid 90's not sure how appealing it will be if we do LOS six months before.. Plus doesn't appear to have five nights anymore out of Baltimore and 8 is too long.

     

    The money we save on the airline tickets to Florida is used to upgrade our GOS experience from Baltimore.;)

  7. Making RSVP for the Allure.. Biggest we've been on is Voyager class and down... Concerned about crowds, chair hogs by pool, waiting in lines for food. Should we be, or am I overly concerned? We tend to have fun wherever we go, but this ship is HUGE!

     

    Please advise and let me know what we SHOULD worry about... thanks in advance!

     

    Don't worry. They really know how to handle all of these folks. The only concern would be if you have trouble walking - these ship are hugh!
