ONECRUISER

Had one disappear in evening the day it was due, only option to get it back next day was pay current rates. Then one in 2019 wasn't going after Family Emergency, when 15days before sailing got notice to pay or loose it and reservation was still on the site. Things changed by then and paid off/went on Cruise

NCL use to put everyone together at Breakfast and Lunch when Freestyle started 23+ yrs ago, always sitting with someone new.

If was my Table I'd walk on by...even Pre-CV no way I'd sit here. Few Cruises ago I checked out my Table after Boarding, Kool was what/where I requested. At Dinner as we all filed in to our Tables watched as couple at another Table was quickly switching number's, theirs for Mine. Grabbed the Head Waiter to let him deal with moving them. Sad is this isn't first time happened...

Same here. Last yr on 9 Cruises might have had Cabin cleaned 5 times twice a day at most. I get up at 6, run 3 miles, shower, eat Breakfast and by time Attendant would be cleaning I'm back sitting on my Balcony Reading or online in the Cabin talking to Grand Daughters. Been making own bed on Cruises last 5+ yrs anyway

Going there on 3 different upcoming Cruises, traveling SOLO, so I'll get off walk around and take pictures one of the Days. Other Days I'll enjoy an Empty Ship...

Was either 2015 or 16 I did it twice, Card/Cell same pocket and had reactivate Card on Serenade. Since then no issues

Cruises after April 2025 will be on a 2025-2026 Thread, have start that one in a few Months. Time is Flying!

Always got my Double Points for No-Shows. Had a weird one before CV where it was more expensive for a SOLO passenger then for 2 in my Cabin. This even with my SOLO 340+ points. Didn't say anything, got Fees/Port back for my make believe partner and Double Points received after Cruise.

Interesting. Had one from 2019 on X, they applied it to my Royal Cruise last yr. But you know R.C.I.- Royal Constantly Inconsistent. Though mine was used with other Royal FCC to pay off Royal Cruises, not a Deposit

Happens more then you realize. I Booked a Repo for this Fall just 6 months ago. 3rd one like this that less then a yr in my resent memory. Has advantages, can Book Flights and Hotels right away which Beats my other usual Fall Cruises that when Booked had 560 or more Days to go until my Ship's Sailed. Had lot of the 1.5-2yrs out Bookings changed/Canceled, less likely with less then a yr

True, though Little Stirrup Cay was Correct Name of the Originally Royal Leased Island itself. Was first at LSC/Coco Cay myself about 30yrs ago, at Labadee 35yrs ago. Seen alot of Changes. From an Article over a Decade ago: "Carnival Cruise Lines has announced on select five-night sailings of its Carnival Fascination will swap out a stop at Key West for the private island of Little Stirrup Cay, which is better known to Royal Caribbean fans as Coco Cay.

Few yrs ago Labadee had 3 Ships stopping there multiple times. Think one would Tender in. Can't remember all the Lines that stopped at Royals 2 Islands but Carnival was one of them

Ate Dinners in WJ on Serenade and Jewel last Fall, if hasn't changed there was many Gluten Free choices in there, lot more then in Main Dining. My Daughter's Diet so always watching

Agree, doesn't happen from Ships Water

Celebrity and even 1-2 other lines have stopped at Royal Private Islands in the past

Weather Warnings there had ended for a while before Ship sailed. Not knowing what they did at time sometimes popup events are unavoidable.

Agree, having a Chief Meteorologist same situation would have happened.

Muster after 12:15am and at 3:10am MSC finally leaving

Well if leaving after midnight assume its am as he said. Ship, along with Carnival's are still sitting there. Me, I'd already be in bed after that long of a day. Have set an alarm I guess

Well 11:20pm and first Ship(NCL) is pulling out. What a long day

Still there, watching live cam. Carnival didnt park until after 5pm EST and at that time had hundreds(1000's?) on her Balconies so no Cleaning even started yet

Deal when offered(not short Cruises) $35 small bag, no reg clothes, only sox, undies, T-shirts, swimsuits, PJ's, Gym Clothes. No Pants, Button up shirts, ect. Seen people Billed separate item full price if an item not authorized. Also washed in Hot with other peoples clothes in separate mess bags(Some have issue with that) also fading can happened & gotten few T-shirts back with pin holes

Agree. Doubt get bill after leaving Ship. Our experiences, Sick Calls since CV, all were Colds with Neg CV Testing my Family & Friends recieved no Bill. A Sprain falling on Ice, was no Bill.

Still a longer Day for many. Carnival Ship is just turning around in Basin. See hundreds on their Balcony's, at least they got stay in Cabin's but all will need be cleaned before new Passengers Board

This was 4 Decades ago when they and every Hotel changed Sheets, Towels Daily. As said they had to strip the Beds Daily to convert them back to Couches. Only reason Royal started their Environmental programs was not that they cared. Originally they were busted for Illegally dumping Photo Chemicals doing this with hidden pipes leading direct to the Ocean. They were caught, Twice! That and not replacing sheets/Towels saves them money with a touch of publicity. That said yes I might use a Towel second time onboard but never a washcloth ever, yuck!
