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.

Definitely not!

Because he was rude? Maybe thought it was nervy of a single solo woman to make a request?

I realize that - I was just showing the contrast to new policy which will cause some complaints unless the lobster served is of good quality.

Can see a revolt coming! On my cruise in Sept I asked for two tails - got them with no comment from the waiter but a man at the table expressed his disapproval.

My TA books me with the group rate and Refundable. The deposit is larger however under the TA or at least is with the parent company she works for.

I usually look for a ship tour for that last day and then drops at airport.

Except for the "cloud" and smell

What I got on Radiance last fall were mutton chops with fat edge curling up over the edges.

Is there an added 18% added?

last cruise on Radiance I often ordered the salmon or steak. Not a pasta fan . The classics were more to my liking. No variety in salads. Sorry to see no savory bites in the bread basket - ho hum dinner rolls instead. Shortage of staff is the cause of too long dinner time not too many choices.

On Radiance in Sept and was told I had the choice of having it mailed.

Yet the time I visited I felt a non welcoming vibe but merchants were happy when overpriced souvenirs were purchased.

Had it on the Radiance and it was quite good.

I visited Portland on a Snowbird cruise 4 years ago and enjoyed my day there - however Bar Harbor merchants made it clear that they didn't like tourists but accepted payment for overpriced meals and souvenirs . One merchant actually said he was glad we were the last ship in.

On a North Eastern cruise I found the lobster dinner I had in PEI was far superior to the one I had in Maine.

People seem to take longer to order - maybe don't remember the procedure or new to cruising or to the line.

I have had 4 shot also so am worried about upcoming cruise to Hawaii.

Doesn't make me feel secure - petri dish!

[ have First Ascent by Eddie Bauer items for travel - can be washed in sink but stains seem to repel off anyway. Can be purchased online or at stores. Like the SFP of 45 and 50 in many items as I have had several skin cancer incidents.

Vancouver to Hawaii - Sept 23 this year Radiance of the Seas

Problem with a sail away roll call party is that it is impossible to get the bartenders attention - seem to think only the men are ordering drinks so I must be just standing while someone is getting one for me!

Staff seem to push solo diners into a table with others whether you want to share or not. I don't want to join family groups for breakfast as I am sure they want to have family only also. This happens at breakfast more than at lunch time.

Better rate at a Bank Am dollar is about 30% higher than CDN minus bank fees

It is the site you are used to - after using RCI site a few times it will be easy also.
