Serenade: JJ on vacation 9/18, no returning contract yet.

Mario will move to CL, Andres to DL, then they will rotate monthly.

 

Carla

Does anyone know when Mario will be leaving for vacation?

Karen

Just off of the Adventure a week ago and the Concierge in the Suite/Concierge Lounge is Sucel Anderson. Leroy D'souza is the Concierge in the Diamond Lounge.

Does anyone know if Reyno Strapp will be back on Adventure?

Thanks..Karen

We are doing our first B2B on the AOS April 2016...great itinerary...

Karen

Can anyone confirm that Mario is back onboard Serenade?

I spoke with Mario last week, he will be onboard the Serenade until the end of January.

Karen

enjoying your posts from the Oasis...

I understand that. However we just sailed in 11330 and from what I was told by senior officers on the ship is that the crew does and has always identified these rooms as Aqua suites. Corporate on the other hand decided to list the as a grand suite. There was a plaque on the door of 11330 that said "330 Aqua Suite". I even pulled up my booking (which was for a GS) to share with the officers on the ship and they were confused as well why corp was selling these as a GS.

So if they are saying a "Aqua Suite", did you still have the "gold" seapass card?

Wow. Not what we expected to see. We have 11730 booked for next November, but may reconsider. These rooms were billed as being MUCH larger than a standard GS, but people in these rooms say not so much? While I think we would LOVE the aft balcony the lack of shaded seating concerns me a bit. We will hold on for now, but a LS might be in our future.

We have 11730 booked for April 2015, and have decided to stay with this room (fingers xx), we usually book a GS when we cruise..so will see how this compares..

Karen

Looking forward to see how these rooms look..Since the room is going to be much bigger, I can't believe they would reduce the size of the bathroom. In any event, got a great deal on the room and since booking a few weeks ago, had a $1,200 price reduction...looking forward to seeing pictures..

Karen

CaribSailor,

 

Were you able to see any pics yet of cabin 11330? It appears that 11330 and 11730 are the biggest of the six new aft suites, especially the balconies. That's based on what I've read as well as the new specs that are listed on the RCI website, but I'm still curious to see some recent pics. I have 11330 booked, but not until early 2016.

 

Enjoy your upcoming cruise!

Curious to see pics also, we are in 11730 in April 2015, and based on the RC specs..the bathroom now has only one sink?:confused:...The original GS have 2 sinks..can't imagine they would make the bathrooms smaller in these new bigger GS...any info would be welcomed...

Karen

Where did you read that they accept cash only now? No one has reported that cash is now required for the parking.

I had read it on one of the Royal Caribbean Face Book Group pages..but good to hear as posted above that credit card was still accepted.

We always park at the pier at Cape Liberty and have used our credit card for payment...I recently have been reading that they will only accept cash now. Can anyone confirm this change to cash only payment is correct....

Karen

What you should know...is you are sailing on a great ship, with the best crew! Have a great time..will be sailing Oct 23rd!..will be our 8th time.

Karen

Just curious if anyone knows, the Quantum does the TA leaving 11/2/14..arrives in Bayonne on 11/10/14, but the next scheduled sailing that shows online is not until 11/18/14..so, what is happening between the Nov 10th - Nov 18th.

Karen

recently cruised on the Oasis on 5/10..always book a GS when we sail..this time I decided to change preferences on our account to we would accept an upgrade, not thinking it would happen. Got to the Ft. Lauderdale to check in at the port..luggage tags on luggage to GS...go to check in..the guy who was checking us in looked confused..goes over to get sea pass card..couldn't find it..goes back to computer..then back to get sea pass card..says our room has been changed..told us our room #, but I said what deck??...he was not sure..I said is this your first day on the job..he said no!..had to ask one of the agents next to him...he said, oh you have been upgraded to a crown loft suite!!..quite a surprise to us..very nice upgrade. But our luggage didn't find its way to our new cabin until 8PM...but that was ok:) I am sure we won't have an upgrade like that again.

Karen

Yes I will tell Denzil when I see him on Thursday about your post and the spare room key.

Please ask Denzil if he will be onboard for the October 23rd sailing..

Karen

OK, so now you have me looking forward to meeting Mario. :) I will still miss Francios. :(

 

Gina

You will love Mario, the best concierge we have had, and have stayed friends eventhough he left the Explorer..tell him Karen & Russ said hello:)

Karen

Meg..

Will be sailing on the EOS 11/4..staying at the Country Inn & Suites..what is your suggestion on route to the pier, we will be driving and leaving our car at the pier. I know the NYC Marathon is that day..didn't know what route they use or what roads/bridges are closed that day. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Karen

I see there will be a change to Mario Reyes on the Explorer..anyone have any experience with Mario? We have always had Francis, when Carlos goes on vacation...

Karen

Tell me about it. I know it, you know it, but my wallet doesn't want to hear it! lol :p

Explorer is our favorite also,have made alot of friends on the ship over the last year. by the time we get to the November 4th sailing we will also be on our 6th. We will be on in May again. I see you will be on in November also..We will have to meet, I have read alot of your posts.

Karen

PC2 Francis is there. We have been talking with him.

Barbara

Hi Barb..

when is your next cruise?? I am sure you remember us (Karen & Russ - close to Unadilla, NY). How is everything?

Karen

Radio..

If you get a chance, stop by the Aquarium Bar on deck 3 (I think) and say hi to St. Hill & Henry if they are still bartending there. Tell them Russ & Karen from NY said hello. We sailed with them in October to Bermuda..they did a great job at keeping our glasses full!! Have a great time, we care considering sailing the Explorer in October for the New England/Canada cruise. We set sail on the Oasis on May 22..can't wait.:)

Will be reading all your posts.......
