  1. The entrance to the cabin corridor is from the elevator lobbies, noise from the Casino will not be an issue. You will not be hearing the machines at all. Deck 3 isn't bad as there are lots of venues on deck 3, 4 and 5. We have sailed Anthem and Quantum which are the same class as Ovation and we love that class. We did Quantum in Alaska and it is a great ship for that itinerary. Yes, it is a large ship but it is really easy to get around. Two70 is a gorgeous venue at the aft of the ship with huge windows to watch the scenery if there is weather, otherwise, we prefer to be up on the outer decks so we can go from one side to the other to see animals, whales, ice, waterfalls, etc. You will love Alaska!
  2. With the bedroom on the second floor, they would have to try to get the accessible crown loft suite that has the elevator in the suite.
  3. Concierge can make reservations for you but that does not get you an assigned seat. You will get in the line for people with reservations and then it is open seating once you enter a venue. Handicap seating is typically in the back with space for a walker beside you. Some venues, like the Comedy Club do not have stairs so you will have access to more seating and can put walker off to the side.
  4. The OP is on Anthem and there is a plug above the nightstand on one side of the bed. They have made the outlets by the bed much more accessible on the newer ships.
  5. Layers are the best bet. We have sailed Alaska in May a few times and have had warm port days that we could wear shorts but cooler visits to glaciers that we had long pants, long sleeved shirt, fleece 3/4 zip and a waterproof shell on. Others were dressed for the arctic with heavy coats. You could end up with rain, so a waterproof, not water resistant, outer layer can make a difference between a miserable excursion and one that is wet but tolerable.
  6. Definitely have as much done before you move in, especially painting bedrooms. Pain to move furniture to paint later. I would change out any flooring I want replaced too. Kitchen I would do all at once, not piecemeal, but that is just me.
  7. I wouldn't be able to pick out a paint color without knowing color of countertop, backsplash and cabinets. If you are just painting for the sake of painting and then going to overhaul the kitchen, then I would go with whatever, probably pure white or leave it what it is now and not waste money on painting to just repaint.
  8. You originally posted this in the Ask A Cruise Question forum and that can be a tough crowd. Your post was moved to the Royal Caribbean forum, so you should be able to get cruise specific information here. Your cabin steward doesn't care who sleeps where, you can get extra keys onboard and have people move to where you want them. 🙂
  9. Spectrum will have a full size sofabed that has a trundle that pulls out. The trundle can be left at a lower level to make two sleeping areas or set up at the level of the main part to make one large bed. Many leave the trundle lower if they have someone young sleeping in it.
  10. The deck plans used to specifically say if there was a sofabed or pullman but now they are more generic and say they can sleep 3 or 4 people. What ship are you sailing? That will help you get correct answers.
  11. Everyone reacts differently to pain and rehab, he might do just fine with it. Some tears are left to heal on their own and don't require surgery. The MRI will tell you what is up.
  12. Reality TV has evolved and many have now made it their career. Boston Rob, Johnny Bananas, CT, Kate Chastain, Cirie Fields, Cody Calafiore, etc have all been on multiple shows including Survivor, Big Brother, The Traitors, Deal or No Deal Island, The Challenge, Below Deck, and many more. Boston Rob has even had two of his own shows and also does a lot of celebrity gambling events. I have no issues with Boston Rob, he knows how to work the charm and manipulate people without them even realizing it. If it works for him and supports his family, go for it. He has the most adorable four girls that look just like their mother.
  13. Minimum bid on an upcoming cruise for upgrade from balcony to JS is $200. Have seen much higher minimum bids in the past.
  14. There is organic chicken sold in supermarket that show that it is non-gmo, antibiotic free, etc. It costs more, but I find that it tastes better than the cheaper, supermarket non-branded chicken. I just looked at a couple of brands I buy but neither is sold in Texas, which is where your location says you are located. I would check out what is available where you shop. 🙂
  15. We have sailed in a GS on Oasis a few times but not in the Med, so not sure about how embarkation will be there. As far as disembarking and queuing for hours, that is not going to happen with you in a GS. You will receive suite luggage tags and information from the suite concierge about the disembarking procedures. In our experience, they will have you meet in Coastal Kitchen and/or the Suite Lounge and then they will escort you to a dedicated elevator. Once you get off the elevator, one of the concierges will either escort you off the ship or at a minimum, to the front of the line of people waiting to get off the ship. Really depends on port and current procedures.
  16. I was surprised to see a purple hyacinth up in my yard. We have had such a bizarre winter, plants seem to be starting early. I have other bulbs just starting to break through but the hyacinth is flowering.
  17. If you end up on Jardiance, they have a coupon program that you can apply for which has saved us a lot. CVS pharmacy actually suggested it to us and my DH filled out the online form and got the coupon immediately. It works for an entire year and then you just reapply. It took a $200 prescription down to $50 on our old insurance and has it at $25 on our current insurance.
  18. The Walking Dead second season is going to be filmed in Boston and the surrounding area starting in April. They are holding a casting call, looking for people with "weathered faces" and tall, thin people to be "walkers". They are paying roles but do not include transportation or food. Anyone looking for work? 🤪
  19. Question from a black thumb gardener, why pull the bulb up too? I leave them in for the next year, though the chipmunks and squirrels eat them or relocate them. They don't touch daffodils though.
  20. This article has both the negatives and positives of berberine. The more I read about this, the more I know I wouldn't take it. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/berberine-supplements-what-to-know-benefits-risks-side-effects-rcna87065
