True. We live in the northeast so weather, ocean, and suite amenities are our top priorities.

On Oasis 2 weeks ago we received a call and a letter in our stateroom to make a reservation by calling Chops. We stopped by instead of calling and made the reservation there.

Never thought it was too noisy but we're not people watchers so we didn't enjoy the view as much as the ocean facing.

We had another large group on board...literally. https://www.cruisingatlarge.com/

Mine must have fixed itself. It was missing a couple of days ago and didn't have time to bother with it. Now it's back.

Royal hasn't carried Don Julio for a while and it's not listed as available on the package but they had plenty of Crown Royal on Oasis last week. In our experience not every bar is fully stocked on the first night so if you don't find something in one bar you may find it elsewhere. Usually the second or third night they're ready to rock.

In the OP's defense, there were the same complaints on Oasis that week. In all of our years cruising we've never seen that many kids on a ship. I wouldn't put the kid complaints on any one group because it was also a kids sail free cruise. We managed to stay above the fray being on Deck 17 in a suite but there was a lot of grumbling going on especially on that sailing's Facebook page. People felt they should have been told the Solarium Bistro would be closed. The one time time we went to the Jammer we watched a guy berate 2 white shirts about how crowded it was. At one point the Facebook admin shutdown complaints. We've sailed Oasis Class multiple times and had another great cruise but I might be hesitant to book it again for that week. Never thought to Google group cruises but I might start.

Saw several people on a similar thread saying expedited postal mail is faster than renewing it on-line. You can fill out the application here (Application) and then print it to mail. You must have Adobe Acrobat on your computer or other device.

To be fair you probably wouldn't want them to do much of your laundry beyond underwear and socks anyway.

I think he's referring to the discounted package deal.

Just like the Rising Tide except the Rising Tide lasts 7 minutes.

Just one cruise??? 🤣🤣😇

Are you booked into 2025 yet?

I'm sure there are some that don't bother to call.

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems Jazz on 4 would be a smaller venue. It will be interesting to see the patronage numbers between the two. I'm sure Royal will be watching it closely.

Apologies ahead of time to postal workers everywhere but I wouldn't depend on the PO for any time sensitive payments. We were still getting Christmas cards a month or more after they were mailed.

Pre-Covid, first sign of Noro was wet cabin door handles and hall railings.

Noro threads are just another sign we're getting back to normal.

Allure pluses: - No slides 🤣🤣😇 - Better Suite Lounge/Coastal Kitchen layout - Better Diamond Lounge - Cheaper Harmony pluses: - Newer

We took that into consideration and having hit the 50 cruises milestone without personal incident or injury we decided if we had to take advantage of that benefit, we would just purchase additional insurance a la carte for the remaining cruises. Short answer, your thinking is not wrong.

We didn't buy it when we were younger but as our parents began to age we started buying it mostly because of them. Over the past 5 years we've had 3 claims for cancelled cruises because they were hospitalized. Now we just buy it for ourselves. In fact we just bought an annual from Allianz because I got a little crazy booking cruises over the next year. The biggest concern for me is not cancellation so much as medical evacuation for an injury or illness.

Michaels Club on Reflection is my favorite Retreat lounge to date. Hopefully they only give it a nip and tuck when they update it and not a total makeover.

It should be listed on your invoice if you booked direct.

Do they refund to the original credit card or give you OBC?

..and having done both, we preferred the OTW over the beach.
