Yes, I had to create a new password yesterday. Haven't tried to get back into yet this morning.

Just like everyone else, I had a problem also.  I create new password today on my desk top computer and then went to app and it worked.  😂 Oh, as soon as I created new password, I received email saying I could now log in using new password.

You will receive whatever the C&A points your cruise is supposed earn on casino comped cruises regardless whether you spend any money onboard. Furthermore whatever benefits come with your existing C&A loyalty level you will receive. So if you're Diamond Plus you will get your daily 5 drinks allowance, laundry, access to the lounge,etc. 

Thank you for your response.

Going on a free cruise from casino and wondering if I get C&A points if I don't spend any money on ship.  I have been told I have to buy something in order to get points but also told I don't have to spend anything. Help please.

I found out I was over watering....especially orchids. Till I read 3 ice cubes once a week and now they are doing OK.

Talking of orchids, haven't heard from ReneeFLL, the orchid (and Mary Francis) authority....Renee I was going to abbreviate Mary Francis, but thought otherwise. Hope you guys are on a wonderful cruise.

I had a potted orchid for about 6 years and gave it 5 ice cubes a week.  I guess it would depend on the size and container.

They have the roof open on the Solarium . . . I don't think ever seen a retractable roof open on a Royal ship.

When we were on the Vision in Nov. & Dec., they opened the roof several times. 

Just got off her on the 19th.  Have a wonderful cruise and Merry Christmas.

With an android, you need to get a barcode reader.  On an iphone, once your setsail pass is available, you put it in your Apple wallet and below the bar code is a number and the last digits are your cabin number.  If your cabin is not assigned yet, the last digits are GTY.

Thank you.

. You should find out your assignment (via the barcode trick) at 45 days out when you check in. 

 

I have tried the search but did not have luck.  How do you do the barcode trick??

Also, can it be done with android phone? Thank you.

We stay at the Radisson at the Port.  They offer secure parking and a shuttle.

We have stayed there quite a few times. Even did B2B cruises and no problem with car being left there.

I prefer checking in online, but I have no issues chalking in using the app either. I've never taken our pictures or scanned our passports pre cruise. I still print and show our boarding passes. I don't use my phone.

I wish I could have checked in on line, but could not.  Had to use the app on phone.  Never had that problem before, but times change. 

Still cannot print our boarding passes from my phone and of course royals site says

I only bought the DDP when it was $18... 
I used to get the refreshment package but the value for that is not there anymore. 

We had two 12 night cruises booked when that IT blunder happened.😃 

Besides all the above, we love the pool.  Swim up bar and music.

Looking forward to your review.

Glad to hear someone got to! 😁

We got to use it also on a 12 night. 😄🍹

Thanks for the review.  Looking forward to cruising on her in Nov.

4 cruises booked and they all show. I have one in Feb and it allows me to plan.

Double check the safe, a upside down DL pushed to the back could be hard to see.

Tried to delete but too much time had lapsed, I see that OP is already home. Glad everything worked out for you.

I have never thought those tables were for eating.  There are many more tables out on the pool deck.  The Solarium tables are used for crafts, reading, cards, eating, talking, knitting.  All the stuff people do to relax and enjoy the sea view.

Tables used to have signs on them saying for patrons of Park Cafe. I guess they got tired of people ignoring them. I think those signs were on the same side as Park Cafe but people ignored them anyway.

I submitted my online renewal on Feb. 6.  Today I received an email letting me know it was shipped.

 

We never received any email even though we submitted our email. Had just check last week and showed still being processed. That's ok, was surprised and wondered what was in those priority envelopes.😄

FYI

Sent our passports in to the Phila. Pa. office on Feb. 27. Tracking showed picked up for processing on Mar 3. We did not use expedited only normal fees.  Just got new passports today, April 20.  Total of 7 weeks.

We mailed our passports for renewal Feb. 27.  Status showed picked up at Phila. Pa. office Mar. 3rd.

We paid normal fees, No expedited service. Just received new passports today.

Seven weeks total.

Loving all your photos. Looks like you had an amazing cruise.
