I'd be curious where you got this data?  My experience is that they only wear their tags to C&A events.

Exactly!

I wear mine and maybe 50% of the cruise.  Only when it might make a difference.

I was always told the linens under the bed were for the 3rd to 4th passenger in the cabin.

That said, if it's in the way it goes.

Only if Celebrity has a better itinerary.

Yes.  But it's only to their dock for a S2S.

Edit:sorry not correct.  I didn't see airport.

I think RCI agents know/use the prices before they are posted.

I called my TA; they looked it up and had better than the online price.  TA called RCI, and it was $4,000, $300 more than the online price.  

Guess what?  The next day it was $4,000.

Why not re-schedule?

Like everything else in RCI's product, passengers like or dislike, and new customers or Pinnacles are all different.

Wonderland and the Bionic Bar are gimmicks that rely on new customers to RCI. I would prefer to see them go away.  

Each passenger would get 14 points.

It doesn't matter who's paying.

If everyone is invited there will be no email.

Generally, the email arrives 48-72 hours before sailing.

I am just giving my honest opinion of being booked in a JS and wanting to dine at CK. While I have stayed in JS's and haven't had issue with dining in CK...sometimes for even the entire sailing, it does come at a bit of a price IMHO. First off your room key doesn't have access to the suite lounge of CK....both are located together....so you will have to stand there outside the door knocking waiting for someone to open it up for you. You will have to do this every time including if you have to go to the bathroom while dining. Some of the concierge's are welcoming for you to dine in CK, others have a bit of an attitude if you aren't in a full suite. Some will let you reserve the nights you want others will tell you stop by each evening and they will see if they can accommodate you. In all honesty I'm not overly impressed with CK...it's just a smaller main dining room venue with food being very similar to main dining quality. As much as some might want to pretend...it certainly isn't comparable to one of the specialty dining venues. With the all being said I sometimes find that seem to feel you are competing with the suite guests and the not haven't door access to Ck is very annoying and standing knocking on the doors feels awkward.

Only on Oasis class is access a problem. 

According to USFA, every year, clothes dryer fires account for over $100 million (USD) in property losses. A majority of dryer fires occur as a result of highly combustible lint getting caught in the dryer's vent and becoming heated to the point of ignition. The lint is combustible due to synthetics used in clothes.

RCI can't stop the chair hogs.  How will they stop passengers from leaving their laundry in machines all day?

We have done 13 on Anthem.  But that was with 3 children.

Usually, your luggage is on your bus, except for some excursion transfers.

If you have a morning flight, chances are you cannot use an RCI transfer.

Charging my P vouchers has happened every night on my cruise.  

Check your account.

The source is suspect.

Your confirmation invoice.  But don't count on it being exact.

RCI usually gets into port early, but those mysterious local authorities must have their say.

We cruised 7 times 2022, 4 times in 2023 and 2 times (so far) in 2024 and have yet to see a line or problem getting tags from the luggage handler taking our luggage. Lucky I guess.

 

Our choice to get tags this way...so far so good but each to their own.

We were on Oasis in Miami two months ago. There was a long, chaotic line at the terminal because a whole busload had no luggage tags.  Our bus pulled up behind them, and there was no room to get off the bus.  Our bus driver couldn't even start unloading luggage because there was no room on the traffic island.

You have been extremely lucky.

You definitely want medical coverage.

It depends on the ship.

There are no guarantees because if there is Noro or Covid on the ship, no go.

I finally sold.  300% increase!  I'll take a significant tax hit, but it was worth the ride.

I'll repurchase it seven days before my statement, get my OBC, and probably sell.

I do not see another long-term entry point.

YES

WI-FI calling and texting inbound is not 100% reliable. There have been plenty of times I didn't get messages until we returned to the US.

You can't use Wi-Fi Calling in China, Cuba, North Korea, India, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, or Vietnam.
