June 2024 Update HAL Dry Docks, Charters & Groups Onboard
NJoynCruisin replied to VMax1700's topic in Holland America Line
You have Koningsdam 3/15/25 - April 2025. Dry rock or charter. Below under Koningsdam it shows 2026 I'm concerned because we are booked to Mexican Riviera 3/22/25. What's the deal story??? -
I had to cancel last fall after I fell and fractured my arm, requiring surgery. At first Royal rep said only care would be refunded. I called back and pushed on Our the insurance. They have me AONs number. Called the and they said it was a tier 1 injury. We got full care p!us our upgrade. we did not get our free play, but that's understandable I recommend you call them. I don't recall paying extra insurance. best of luck and I hope your mom gets better very soon

Thanks for your info. We booked on Air Canada through Holland. It was 200 cheaper than direct with airlines. We are planning to stay at Pan Pacific

We are trying to book an Alaska cruise roundtrip from Van c in August. We cruise often, but never to Alaska and never to Vancouver. For those of you Phoenicians that cruise, what's your choice? Seattle, then shuttle, bus or train to Vancouver? Direct flight (which airline) to Vancouver? We are looking to stay at Pan Pacific for 2 nights prior. Don't know if we should stay a night after or go home. Recommendations/suggestions are welcome. We normally fly American or Hawaiian.

Interesting "Key Letter"
NJoynCruisin replied to Tree_skier's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We had key Jan 26. Arrived about 1040, were on board before 11. Quickest embarkation we've ever had. This was at San Pedro in los Angeles. -
Since the end of covid, we've sailed 7 times, 5 on Navigator. The food in the MDR has slowly declined. Case in point, Turkey dinner. My DH loves all white meat and was very happy with it until our last cruise in Sept. The turkey didn't even look like turkey, but was a thinly cut piece of Turkey rolled around some dressing. Hardly any gravy. I made the mistake of ordering dark meat. Funny, they looked identical. Both were awful. It was their recipe for 5 cruises, so it's their inconsistency. We will not eat in MDR anymore. Rather pay extra for specialty. We enjoy Chops, Izumi and LOVED Hooked. We will keep doing UDP. Are we Foodies? I don't think so, but we do enjoy a nice dinner with tasty food.

Spring Break starting in March, but when?
NJoynCruisin replied to bayou cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
AZ schools now going year round. Spring break is Feb, summer break starts in early may. Fall break is end of Sept. East coast totally different. Guess I'm saying school breaks are all the time. I agree about longer cruises. We try Jan, May, Sept, dec, but it's really a crap shoot. Good luck -
Halloween Cruise planner sale
NJoynCruisin replied to Tree_skier's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Side question- we have the following booked 7 day Navigator. 11/27 3 day Navigator 1/26 4 day Navigator 1/29 The last two are b2b We got unlimited dining on the 1st 2, but they haven't yet offered it on the 4 day. Does anyone know why? With the current sales, I'd like to take advantage of sale prices. Been looking daily. -
23 Tier Benefit Certificate
NJoynCruisin replied to NJoynCruisin's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks, I'll call them tom and see what I can negotiate. -
We haven't used our 23 Tier Certificates from April because we weren't interested in an inside cabin. We are currently booked on a 4 day Navigator and would like to do a b2b adding Jan 26 to our Jan 29. Can we use he tier certificate and more importantly can DH and I combine these certificates to get a better cabin? I've searched and cannot find the answer. We are both diamond and prime.

Are there any updates about Hilary in the Pacific? How will she impact the west coast Mexican cruises? -
Thanks for for sharing. We booked yesterday, so probably won't work this time, but did get it verified future.

Sovereign of the Seas Recollections
NJoynCruisin replied to sail1658's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I cruised Sovereign about 10/15 - 10/22/89. Don't remember price for that tiny inside cabin I the tween deck. Had fun and met life long friends. It was so huge back then. Thank you for sharing -
I talked to my Dr yesterday and he prescribed a diuretic for my next cruise. Hoping it works!!

Sorry you had embarkation issues. We were on same cruise, arrived via Lyft about 1050 for an 1100 checkin. We did have a suite, so did get expedited check in. No problem getting porter but only had 2 bags. We were onboard by 1107. Saw the lines that probably caught you. We've sailed out of San Pedro 5 times in last 12 months, never had issues there. We sailed out of Tampa in Dec. Ships couldn't get to port due to heavy fog. Hours of delays with little to no communications from RCI. Finally got to ship at 9, waited in line 90 min. Boarded at 11 pm with a 11 am check in. Imagine 2 ships embarking and disembarking simultaneously.

Just returned from a 7 day on Navigator. Slightly swollen ankles after 1 hr flight but continued swelling all cruise. Drank tons of bottled water daily. Moderate drinking. Did the alphabet routine. Will see Dr this week for routine chemo/immunotherapy, which I think are contributing. Can't stop cruising, so hope has some ideas. We've cruised 5 times in last year and always swelling. Thought I'd post to bring this back up to a top issue. I did notice quite a few others swollen cruise ankles. Any other ideas?

I hope you find a duck.
