I do the same - only $1.00 at Walmart - even has an ocean scene on bottle!

I upgraded for $8.99 (mainly wanted better wines at dinner). I got Elite status from diamond +. What is the Elite discount that I see mentioned??

Good to hear. The agent I deal with always says that she doesn't get paid until the "ding" that I just boarded the ship!

What is the name of the agency? What travel company?

Agreed! Even before boarding people want to remove tips????

I will miss the bottle of wine. water and soft drink that I get on RCI! Equal to Elite on Celebrity status.

In Canada there has been warnings about how serious rhinovirus is for seniors. However the vaccine is about $150.

In Canada strip ranks above sirloin' However sirloin is considered a good oven roast.

I read the menus date 2023 and they seem good - the old classics are still there They have been removed from RCI. Have they been changed?

You will be Diamond 4 drinks up to $14 or Diamond Plus - 5 drinks up to $14 dollars - any place any time!

I have a no fee TD American card (issued with my CDN credit card). Use for ships purchases and tips etc. Bill comes to me and I pay with my AM money account. No fees. If you pay with CDN card - you pay fees at clearing bank in US and with your home bank.

Canadians have to pay (years ago now but it was $5.00 at that time. they just stop you as you are leaving the pick up luggage area.

On RCI - the 5 drinks for Diamond plus (Elite on Celebrity) are available at any bar, dining room for the entire day. It's a nice perk.

I book a group rate if possible. Do so in CDN dollars/.Travel agent doesn't seem to have a problem doing so.

I agree - also love that "scream"!

Been there! Have at least a jacket that is somewhat warm that you can wear home - the new light less bulky down meant for "in between weather". Wear when you board to leave home.

At bottom of old menu could request, mashed, baked or fries. Has that gone?

There are tables for 6 ask for one for your group.

I did it once. I felt staff didn't want a "one". Yet have found even a table for two in MDR no problem and neighbors friendly and staff efficient and pleasant.

Same for 2022 cruise to Hawaii. Too soon after lockdown - excursions weren't as good as in previous sailings and late posting. Sept 2023 Pacific Coastal - few excursions and expensive eg $448 CDN for one in Los Angeles (substitute port for San Barbara). Excursions generally ho hum.

I like Santa Barbara - be sure to walk out to end of boardwalk. If you have a rental car the Danish village (forgot name is nearby) My cruise for Sept Pacific Coastal on Radiance dropped SB and gave us LA. Am not happy about it and may cancel. Monterey is also a bit of a ? mark. City seems to be wanting to limit ships.

Thought I read recently that the soda has been replaced with water!

The Radiance cruise leaving Vancouver Sept - cancelled the stop in Santa Barbara. I was not happy with that and the replacement of LA.

Not all solos book like that.

On Radiance took option to have it shipped to Canada - big mistake! It was stopped in Cdn customs - Tried to find my address in that city - not where I live! Called Royal who had it shipped back to Florida and tried again - got a call from customs who wanted my account #? Called Royal who fixed something and - Mid Feb - sailed in late Sept. I finally got my block. Some delay was because they changed supplies of block. Advice - take your block when onboard.
