Wake up late. Have breakfast in your room with a mimosa or two (or three). Find a quiet lounge - read a book with a glass of wine. Have lunch and another glass of wine. Take a short nap. Read a little more. Grab a umbrella drink at the pool bar. Grab another one. Watch for wildlife (you'll see whales if you have a 3rd umbrella drink) Find a bar with a piano player and have a martini. Have dinner. Have a after dinner scotch. Next day, repeat.

Dont know if it was a typo in your post or not, but instead of rcck.com it's most likely rccl.com. Otherwise sorry for your loss and hopefully someone will reply.

It's not about having a set time every night, it's about pre-selecting your choice. We have some reservations at 6:30, some at 7:00, some nights no reservation. We like the flexibility of picking our own time each night where we want. The two "fixed" options are indeed "fixed" and may be either too early or too late.

This is a great thread - I thought it was still 2 bottles per cabin so very good to know & thankful to have been informed that it's 2 per guest. 😃

yep same here...only saw cans, no plastic at all.

Well I don’t see a prob with transparency but under your scenario they should either not allow reservations for MTD or require reservations from everyone. Personally I like the 2 lines or separate entrances. Keeps things easy.

Understand - be safe driving & enjoy your trip.

Lubricious? 🙄

Google DOHM NOISE MACHINE.....can't sleep without it and take it everywhere.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Lao Tzu

that's the way it should be. Maybe it varies ship-x-ship (although it shouldn't)

Galveston is getting better & with the larger ships coming in RCL should be able to offer longer cruise so you have options other than just Cozumel / Yucatan. However doubt Celebrity will come to Galveston - why compete with yourself in a relatively small market..... Did you look at taking Amtrak to LOS vs driving?

Took a cruise in June and had reservations every night for My Time Dining. Problem was there was only one line for MTD so reservations & non-reservations were lined up together. What was the point of making a reservations? It use to be one line for folks w/reservations & one line for those w/out reservations. Worked much better - the new 1-line system does not work (at least not for those with a reservation).

thanks

I apologize if this has been asked/answered but search was not helpful. In completing the documents, the health question wants the date of last vaccination. I presume this indeed the last "VAX" date and not the date of any "BOOSTER" received, but curious if anyone knows for sure. TIA

I personally prefer cotton thread but do appreciate the finer threads now and then. 🙃

I love dress code threads.......................

If you book the cruise on the 3rd Thursday of the month between the hours of 0100 and 0101, when the moon is full and Venus & Mars align, and if the rate drops under the exact same conditions, X might refund the difference. However they reserve the right to charge you a fee equal to or greater than the difference as a refund service charge.

Not really taking money from the crew, just not giving the crew the same amount as someone who pays on board. In general (not responding to you directly) We have PPD tips but will give additional in cash. Others will give more than us, others will give less. Either way does not bother me and is really none of my business. Everyone should give what they want to whomever they want and not be judged. If you want to give the cabin steward nothing, so be it. If you want to give them $20 pd, so be it. What someone tips or doesn't tip does not impact any other guest - so don't worry about it. As another said, you be you.

Agree which is why I always book my own flts

Correct - prepay it vs having it billed on board daily.

From the email, I believe you are correct. If you prepay, it's at the lower rate. If you don't prepay, your on board account will be charged the new rate. If you’d like to pre-pray your gratuities at the current rate before your sailing, we’re happy to extend this opportunity to you. If you’d prefer to pay onboard, your gratuity charge will be applied to your onboard account at the new rate.

The good thing about using the line's (any) air is if there are flight delays & you miss the sailing the line has to find a solution to get you to the boat. Having said that, we normally book our own flight and always arrive 1-2 days early and leave 1 day after the cruise ends.

thats my understanding as well, but things are changing fast. Stay tuned

and how did that start? I'm seeing ducks everywhere on RCL.................
