ONECRUISER

Lucky so far Airfare same or Cheaper for my Cruises couple months ago and my Flights this Sept, Oct, Nov

Two Decades ago Royal had 3/4/5 nite Cruises and I did the 5 nite with Coco Cay, Nassau, Key West and a SLOOOOW Sea Day. Paid $59ea for OV, total $118 for the 2 of us Even cost get there, 20hrs each way in Full Size Vehicle was less then $100 Gas RT with price less then $1 a Gallon. Cost for Cruise and Gas paid for with rolled coins from my Change Jar.

Agree, Buffet Food the Taste and Selection goes to Royal over NCL

Yes like the Casino, The House always Wins

Though have seen Cruisers stopped walking together trying to Carry 12each instead of per Cabin. This in April out of Miami and 2.5yrs ago out of Boston trying it with 2each Bottles of Wine, this where they even counted my 12 Pop Bottles

Ha, yeah! Can remember first time as a Single Father took my Wee Ones on Cruise. Was sitting at a table in WJ with my 4yr old, my 7yr old walked with a Tray when the heavy china plates shifted, SMASH! Tiny pieces everywhere... Interesting Trip, Kids got Noro, we were at Nassau as Straw Market Burned down and got home early am on 9/11/01.

Windjammer had Trays for Decades, funny thing is they had China not Plastic plates/Bowls back then.

In April the Doors were Closed in evenings on Jewel. Daughter/SIL said Food there was Fantastic. She's been Cruising Royal for 25+ yrs since she was 6. Just asked her, 9:30pm Meal sitting middle of room and no noticeable noise

Can see it now, if used another Extra Charge. Just grateful haven't been on a Royal Ship in 20+ yrs that had more then 1750-2050 Passengers with me and only once in 35yrs wasn't one first 10-100 onboard

4000-6000+ Tests in 5 hrs, sounds like a nightmare to me

We always want to assume its their IT but when it's me I'm also one to start to worry

Been 4+ yrs now last time saw someone turned away from Main Dining for way they Dressed, and then was only on Formal Nite.

Agree, coming soon for all...and about time!

Done 8 Halloweens on Royal since 2010 about 1/4+ dress up. Fun nite!

Multiple articles on it floating around: "A couple of weeks earlier, it was known that the Royal Caribbean Group applied for a license to use Starlink internet dishes on its ships. A letter was written to the FCC asking license to operate the internet dishes. Earlier this week, Royal Caribbean announced that its ship ‘Freedom of the Seas’ now has Starlink dish antennas outfitted onboard" ... The Weekend Cruiser 6.56K subscribers Starlink was installed last weekend and has been operational on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas for the last two cruises. To go where no Cruise Ship...

Thanks, good to know

Wasn't sure when Pre-Cv would with Shutdown. Month ago was lucky applying a 2019 FCC to my Oct2022 PC Serenade Cruise. Original Exp was Oct2020. Applied to a Fall2020 Cruise that was canceled, refunded Deposit from that Cruise and the FCC was never reissued. Royal had it as already used FCC, email to them applied all to my next Cruise.

Miss the Old Cups from yrs ago that held Hot + Cold and didnt leak when tipped

Glass Bottles first Cruise of B4B, Cruises after were Cans

Nope, as I get older hear less. But I have Selective Hearing

My first Cruise I got to Shoot a Shotgun off an open deck...

Should have. Fight started in back, out into MD, Dishes were smashing in Both. Physical Fight ended 2 Tables away so I had great seat to watch. Start to finish only 30 seconds but Wow!

Once saw 2 Waiters Fighting in Main Dining. Now that was a Floor Show!

Yes. 4 weeks ago had 3 issues 2 which were complicated. After I emailed Sat nite his assistant and I responded back/forth Monday. She even offered do extra work for me, all completed from my first email in less then 48hrs.

Yes even with 1 Port Change they may need to update some or all the Stops, Dates, Times
