What essentials and fun items do you bring?
SilkySal replied to Love2cruise-71's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Your cabin should have boxes of tissues. At least, ours did just a few weeks ago. At least, that's one other thing they still provide. LOL! -
What essentials and fun items do you bring?
SilkySal replied to Love2cruise-71's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We also bring a big bag of the "good" chocolate mini bars, such as Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Hershey's, etc., to hand out to various crew members; don't forget the GS (Guest Services) folks, who have a very stressful job listening mostly to complaints all day. If no treats, just stroll by them and wish them a nice day! Yep, duct or duck tape saved my trip home from a cruise a few years ago. My garment bag zipper broke, so I had to use the tape to secure my clothes inside while leaving the ship. Wish I would have snapped a picture of it because it looked like a giant medicine ball!!! I was so afraid that customs was going to ask me to open it!! I used the whole roll of tape and had none left!! Luckily, all was well and I rolled my garment bag to our car in one big piece. LOL! Funny now; not so funny then! Remember, things happen! -
Just texted my dear friend, Cruising Grandma (Pinn), about the letter. She said that she received the letter by email today. So, it looks like all Pinns will be receiving the email.

Serenade of the Seas Question
SilkySal replied to char@blakemail.org's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Tom and I are booked on the Serenade for February 14, 2025 for the 9 night, same one? We'll be getting off of the Utopia (out of PC) on February 14th, and driving on over to Tampa to board the Serenade. If you're interested in joining the roll call, here it is: -
First time cruiser royal up question.
SilkySal replied to theycallmedp's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Welcome to CC! I would guess it would be that the cruiser probably gets out bid; however, I do not know for sure. Maybe someone else has better insight for this question. Cheers! -
We'll be on Radiance this September/October for a Panama Canal cruise from Vancouver to LA, then LA to Tampa. Someone told me that the carpets smelled bad, so, hopefully, maybe carpets, some furniture and bedding will be replaced!

We haven't cruised in 8 years.....a lot has changed
SilkySal replied to jammin's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Yes, I agree about other options for the meals other than breakfast. Unless you're in a full suite, have the UDP, or on a sea day, the only included breakfast option is the WJ. Since I have a scooter, we avoid the WJ due to the crowds, so the included breakfast at JR on Oasis class ships is perfect for us! -

I can't believe some of you didn't mention one of the most important things! Breakfast is included in your cruise fare everyday at Johnny Rockets!! Even their delicious milkshakes! And their OJ is far better than the WJ and tastes really close to fresh squeezed! We always eat breakfast at JR on Oasis class ships! That's probably why I'm a fluffy gal!! LOL! Enjoy! Cheers!
