Just off Adventure. They wouldn’t bring two apps or entrees at once. We like to order an app each and share the escargots in the middle at the same time. Been doing that for many years. They would not bring the escargots until the other apps were done. Said Royal wanted the food to be served at the “correct temperature” (which was ironic considering the poached eggs on the Benedict in the morning were stone cold). A table next to us ordered spaghetti as a second entree later in the week. She really just wanted a side of spaghetti with her dish - not a whole entree. Waiter brought it out on the tray with the rest of the entrees but would not serve it until the first was done. So much for “correct temperature”. The new rule is just causing anger amongst the cruisers and more work for the waitstaff.

That’s what I was thinking. Somewhere near where they did their checkin. Under a laptop or folder on a desk or something like that.

Dang! I’m sorry, but IMO, no water park is worth that! 😮

I just checked for our sailing and the water park is $96.99. Are you looking at the water park or the Beach Club?

Where did you do your online checkin? Did you use your passport to do your checkin?

And as there appear to be no ships scheduled tomorrow (or again until the 10th…), my original statement still stands.

Sad they couldn't at least substitute with Coco instead.

It seems to be a guessing game anymore. When I booked mine, it specified liter bottles with a picture of Evian. So, I didn’t mind paying the higher price. They have since changed the picture to a splash of water and don’t note the size in the description. I’m going to ask the folks on the sailing before mine what they had delivered and judge from there whether or not to keep my package. It’s irritating to pay $30 for 12 bottles of generic purified water when it was advertised as something else.

Well, that’s irritating….we're scheduled for one of those sailings. I hope they break the news sooner rather than later to give us the opportunity to plan for something different…

I wonder if the Special Needs folks could help me with that because I have back issues. That will probably be the only time I ever get to sail in a full suite. We typically do Jr Suites now and don’t have access to the concierge. Worth a shot, right?

We sailed in an Owner’s Suite on Allure in October and it was just as horrible as the balcony and interior beds we’ve had.

I think Panos is his first name.

Except for they weren’t rebooked into their original room and instead got an obstructed view. Had they been restored to their original room, I’d agree with you.

Can’t wait to read your review. We’re debating between Capt. Morgan and the vodka tour. Have fun!

They are still offering it. It is offered on our upcoming sailing, but it didn’t show up for some time. Keep checking.

Seems like the most appropriate day of the year.

Same with me! Not on all the ships, but some. Allure is the worst for me. Ever since I figured it out, I’ve been getting the water package. Not worth trying the tap for a few days for me.

So, I had saved mine to my Apple Wallet when I checked in last week. It didn’t say Suite. I just checked the Wallet again. No Suite. Went into the App. No Suite. Went back into the Wallet and it suddenly says Suite. All in the matter of three minutes. Very strange.

I have a theory they took away the online to discourage people from switching. I know I put off calling. Maybe they found a lot of people switched (not that it should matter) when it was online and not so much now. Seems silly IMO.

Thanks for reminding me! I kept forgetting to call and choose ours because I kept dreading it thinking I’d be on hold for a while. Got right through and was off the call in 4 minutes from the time I dialed. Easy peasy though I’d much prefer logging into my account online to do it myself…

I’ve told my parents I don’t want or expect their money. I want them to live their life the best they can and not to worry about me.

I’m torn, too, actually. We have an aft Jr. Suite and I love it back there. I love the space of the balcony and how quiet it is. The Royal Suite’s balcony is skinny and I’m worried about shade. So, I’m torn and that’s probably why he won’t “let” me bod. Because he thinks I’ll ultimately be unhappy. 😂

Very much aware.

I want to put the minimum bid on the Royal Suite from our Jr. Suite. Minimum’s only $110. DH won’t let me bid because he thinks it won’t be accepted. Not sure where his sense of adventure is.

Saw one on Mariner in December. He was fabulous!
