But yes, on the honest side, Royal 100% did a nice job with this area. Just turn the dang water temp down a tad bit lol 

No way, that's the main reason I booked it, I hate cold water, best vacation ever was Paradise Island in July, the water was phenomenal felt no temperature change walking into, I judge all vacations against that ocean temperature.

I never go without conditioner, my hair would scream even without saltwater and sun. I wash my hair with conditioner, only use shampoo when it really needs it which isn't often, that said it gets washed at the salon when I get the color done every 4 weeks. It's funny how different everyone is and what is important to them. Hope you enjoyed your cruise, we go in 5 weeks can't wait for it to get here.

I am so sorry.

I am originally from another country. I believe if you are US citizen you need to leave and enter US with US passport. (if you are natural born here you can board with Birth Certificate + DL)

If you are not and have a Green Card then you can use GC + other passport.

 

 

I don't believe you do, my dad got the the port and couldn't find his green card so he was also denied boarding. Worst part of the story was it was in his wallet the whole time, hadn't had it out in years and it was stuck to another card in there. UGH!

Just compared their price vs RC, balcony cabin is $63 cheaper for the May 6 Alaska cruise I compared.

Forward is green, midship blue-ish, aft darker blue

 

Is this true of all RC ships? If it is I never knew, maybe that is why I always get lost. 🤣 

I read somewhere 5 Icon Class with the first 2 being very similar then the next ones being a second generation Icon Class. We will see if that actually happens.

My wife has said if we ever fall into some money we will book a GS at least once. A side note we was in Jamaica on a excursion at a planation in line for a 5 course meal when 2 women in front of us were talking. One said I wonder what all the poor people are doing today. I said we are right here behind you.

There are eight of us who cruise together, we say that all the time when we are on a cruise. Joking around of course. 🤣

you need to take an adapter with you to use the UK plug... I am from the UK and I take my GHD straightener and GHD Hairdryer - use the 220 volts plug so it works best. ive not had any issues 

Thank you so much, I wanted to use it as an extra plug, I have a plug that has four usb ports I should be ok with that.

I am only getting one point a night on the cruise I am currently on.  😉 

And it is a great cruise, following your posts there and loving all the photos and info. Hope it keeps going after you get off in LA.

I read earlier today Micheal Bailey made a cryptic reference it may be based in Galveston. So we shall see if that is really what happens.

They are just the result of some extremely poor choices made by the design team. 

Ot they are an awesome pop of color to others!

Ear plugs and white noise block everything, even the kids running up and down the halls.  On the smaller ships like Radiance class, I baffle the bathroom and closet doors so I don’t hear anything from the hall.

We swear by white noise, my husband had to work overnight for years, so we got to the point where we can't sleep without it. If the power goes out we wake up as soon as the noise stops. But it really helps block outside noises.

I grew up in Southampton, Burgundy Hills.   What area are you?

County Line and Gravel Hill Rd. My Sister-in-law is on Shallcross in Burgundy Hills. Where do you live now?

And I even remember back on my first cruise (1980-Sitmar), there was no internet…hahaha

You couldn’t come to a message board and ask a million questions. It was all a surprise and you learned as you went. And somehow, us oldie but goodies survived.

1998 Sovereign of the Seas 3 night out of Miami, I couldn't believe a ship could be that big, loved it and cruise as often as we can, retired now so hoping we can up the frequency.

My neighbor was running the snowblower wearing shorts.

Where are you in SE PA, our friends were up from the shore and he was out doing my driveway in shorts, DH has rotator cuff issues, I was shoveling around his truck so they didn't have to walk in the snow to get to it. We are in Southampton so it could be my house. He wears shorts so much it's weird to see him in long pants. I was shocked when we went to the yucky Eagles game on NYE that he was wearing long pants, but since we were going to be outside for 7 hours I get it.

We'll have #9179 interior in November, 2025. Sigh, it seems like a fairly long wait but trying to have patience.

We are September 2025, sorry but I'm glad someone has longer to wait than me.  🤣 I hope the time goes quickly.

TIA 🙏🏻 

Have a great time Guys & Gals

Ooh me too we have that same cabin booked.

My DH and I sailed out of PC last year specifically so he could do the Kennedy Space Center, we arrived at 9am when it opened and were there until 4, it is an amazing day. Only you can decide if it's worth the cost for a few hours but you definitely won't see everything. I went only because my husband wanted to do it, but I loved everything it was a great day.

Originally we were supposed to do it as an excursion of off Oasis, but the time of arrival in PC changed, so if you decide to book it keep an eye on your arrival  time in PC.

Also, when you are on your way to the port you can do the safety briefing, it's the life preserver in the app, then when you board go to your muster station to check in and get that out of the way.

I like the name LEGEND OF THE SEAS, but Royal has no history of recycling names from old ships. So, I doubt that will be the name of Icon 3. 

A search of trademarks registered by Royal Caribbean revealed some interesting options. Keep in mind that cruise lines often register possible future ship names that are never ultimately used. Here's a list of both "Live" and "Dead" (expired) trademarks registered by Royal Caribbean. The live names are potential Icon 3 names, the dead names are not. (All names below are "____ of the Seas." 

LIVE TRADEMARKS

Hero

Nova

Idol

Sun

Fun

Marquee

DEAD TRADEMARKS

Passion

Joy

Apex

Pulse

Valhalla

Endeavor

Vibrance

Aria

Intrigue

Melody

Emblem

Phenom

Eon

Aura

Awe

Illumination

Grace

Unity

Nirvana

Divine

Eternity

Paradise

Spectrum

Journey

Given this list, I'd put my $ on Icon 3 being named IDOL OF THE SEAS. 

One last intriguing detail. Royal has allowed the trademarks for their former ships' names to expire. However, they have kept the trademark for "Legend of the Seas" alive. Hmm... 

I vote for Nova!

Why anyone would pay that is beyond me. You could rent a 9 bedroom private beach front luxury villa in the Cayman Islands for half that... I guess some people don't get out much.

Who is doing the cooking and cleanup in the 9 bedroom villa everyday?

Thanks!  Yes, I will rejoin the posts once again in Barcelona.  Though for some reason if this thread has gone "poof" by then (which I don't think it will).... I will restart.  😉 

I hope it won't go poof.

Tomorrow she will be in Coco Cay with Wonder I hope someone posts a photo of them side by side, it will be interesting to see the difference in size.
