We're going to try something new on our April Trans Atlantic - we bought small white boards for our doors (they're magnetic) to let our group know where we're at (there are 6 of us). We took one with us on our Christmas cruise but kept it inside (since it was just us) and left messages for our cabin steward and he in turn wrote us back. It was quite fun! :D

Note that the clothes you send to be washed/dried are washed in extremely HOT water so if your clothes haven't already been shrunk from at-home washing, they will shrink.

After 17 days in a JS on South Pacific relocation cruise, I have found it very hard to go back to a regular balcony cabin (which I've been in twice since South Pacific but only for 7 days cruises). Fortunately, we're back in a JS for our trans-Atlantic in April which will move us up to Diamond status! :)

TY! I just printed them out. If they come in the mail, wonderful. Otherwise, I will be prepared. They are much "smaller" than those from the other cruise lines I have been on - so I am definitely glad I can reinforce them before I go.
We ordered the cruise ship luggage tags from Amazon. Our printed luggage tags fit nicely in them! No need for tape or staples.

I did the exact same thing to surprise my DH on our Australia to Honolulu cruise. When we got to Sydney Harbor and went to the Junior Suite check in aisle he wondered why we did that. I told him it was because they waved us over since their line was so short and the other lines were so long. Then he noticed our cards were a different color and I explained that away by saying it was because we'd been on more cruises than everyone else. When we got to our cabin he didn't even notice the Junior Suite sign on the wall next to our door! When we went inside his first comment was "wow, they sure have started making these cabins bigger!" I had to take him out into the hall to show him the JS sign. He was totally shocked and very pleased since we'd be on the ship 17 days! :D

We buy small to medium water color paintings/drawings depicting that particular city/country from a local street artist. We bring it home, frame it, and hang it on the wall in our entry way. Every time somebody new comes to our home, we get to tell the story of where each of the framed paintings came from. Returning guests always check the wall to see if there's a new painting! It's such fun and our guests really enjoy the stories. :D

it never ceases to amaze me on how some people act when they are on cruises. It would be great if everyone would act normal and just enjoyed their week on a cruise. But some people drama seems to follow them everywhere you go.. Oddly my last cruise I remember seeing a guard outside a door, Next time I will know they were being bad
Totally agree! What are these people thinking anyway? Spend thousands of dollars on a vacation and turn into blithering idiots? But I don't think drama follows people - people make their own drama and it's totally unnecessary! Just sayin'! ;)

No you are not alone on this!
What happened to the policy that the TA owns the reservation and therefore has control?
This TA is not doing their job, the OP needs to be more aggressive and go to the top, meaning the manager or owner of the agency.

Totally agree with this. The TA owns the reservation and is the one to make amends. Once you go through a TA, you can't talk to RCI about your reservation or make any changes. That's one of the main reasons I don't use a TA ... I make all my own reservations and depend on no-one but myself. That way, if there's a screw up, it's mine and I can deal with RCI myself and not have to go through a third party. :)

Mayo mixed with ketchup to dip french fries in!!!
We ONLY eat in the Windjammer. The breakfasts are delish - the oatmeal (or porridge as the Aussies call it), is really good. The sweet rolls in the morning are also really good! Or mix yogurt with fruit and granola - also a good meal for the morning!

On the Legend, crossing east to west through the Panama Canal. It was a sea day from Costa Rica to Alcapulco, Mexico. At 8:00 a.m. the captain came on and told everyone to go to their cabins as we were in for very rough seas four the next 4 hours. The halls and stairs were lined with barf bags, everything outside was shut down, the Windjammer and MDR were closed. We slept through most of it and by 12:30 were back to smooth sailing.
On the Rhapsody, leaving Sydney, Australia heading to Hawaii. The first 3 days out of Sydney you wouldn't know there were people on the ship. The seas were rough and it was very hard walking down the halls, much less getting the food in your mouth during meals! Plus it was cold! By day 4, it was smooth sailing and lots of sun and warm weather!
Towel fee eliminated

I just got off the Serenade 3 days ago and we had to check out the pool towels with our Seapass card and if we didn't turn them back in by the last day, we'd be charged $25.
