Damaniadc Posted April 9, 2018 #376 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Rick, great review so far, I am eagerly following along. We are debating doing this cruise in October, I have a couple quick questions, if you don't mind. I've never done a Med cruise before, I've been on Oasis Class 2 times already. How kid friendly are the ports so far?Just curios, what's the demographics of the crowd? Mostly American? Cheers, looking forward to the rest of your week!

Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 9, 2018 #377 Share Posted April 9, 2018 @A&L_Ont Look who surprised me with his presence. He had a change in plans and will now be back on Harmony for the rest of the year. That’s funny. We just mentioned him on your scope and BOOM, there he is. It’s like, if you just whisper his name he will appear from behind plant, beach chair etc...

CruiseLifeRick Posted April 9, 2018 Author #378 Share Posted April 9, 2018 1977 is hands down the best ice show Royal has ever done. From the costumes to the music selection. The drones are just the icing on the cake. I think I took 600 pictures. No way I can go through and select my favorites. Here are some for now.

Remind me. Americans are definitely the minority. Lots of interesting conversations with the crew on that and how that impacts the dynamic onboard.

CruiseLifeRick Posted April 9, 2018 Author #381 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Hey Rick, keep up the good work!! Can you watch a periscope after you air it live? Indeed. They are saved for replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted April 9, 2018 #382 Share Posted April 9, 2018 The one RC ship I was on that had an ice show, we had to line up in the morning to get tickets for the evening show. Did you have to line up to get the tickets or just show up at the door for the show? How often is the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make reservations either before you board (Cruise Planner) or while on board via the Royal App. You can also go standby at the door subject to availability.

Oasis class show have advanced reservations that you can either make on-line before the cruise or after you board the ship. If you don't have a reservation you wait in the stand-by line for any seats that remain open. Nevermind, I see Rick already answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joand452 Posted April 9, 2018 #385 Share Posted April 9, 2018 At least they learned from the Quantum Inaugural. Are you talking about the Bahamas “Inaugural” in Nov 2014? We were there, and we agree. All we really wanted was a lanyard! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted April 9, 2018 #387 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I need proof that you and Bob aren’t the same person! We are both Italian....does that count? Come to think of it, that might make you, him, and me like the three amici. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 10, 2018 #389 Share Posted April 10, 2018 And tomorrow the collective “tre amici” should be at home in La Spezia. That is tomorrow, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted April 10, 2018 #391 Share Posted April 10, 2018 You make reservations either before you board (Cruise Planner) or while on board via the Royal App. So, then, the new app can be used to reserve all shows? Dining? Activities? Maybe other than texting it is catching up in features to Royal IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyandcarol Posted April 10, 2018 #395 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I may sound real old here and I'm only a little old but why periscope over FB Live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 10, 2018 #396 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I may sound real old here and I'm only a little old but why periscope over FB Live? Best way to explain it, kind of a RC Cult thing. Periscope exsisted before FB live, therefore it is what is used first. Also some like it because it doesn’t use your real name, which FB does.

CruiseLifeRick Posted April 10, 2018 Author #397 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm not sure Rick qualifies. He has a bit of trouble pronouncing his last name properly.;) Many of actions are considered disqualification worthy, the westernized pronunciation of my last name, some would say, is the least of my problems. [emoji6] With that...we are in Italy! The port area is beautiful, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missusdubbya Posted April 10, 2018 #398 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hi Rick, you give Royal just as much, if not more publicity. Not to mention from what I read you seem to favor the "Suite Life" and put lots of money in Royal's pocket. You should have been included as well. Sent from my SM-T580 using Forums mobile app This.

CruiseLifeRick Posted April 10, 2018 Author #400 Share Posted April 10, 2018 We made our way to Manarola one of the five towns (Cinque Terre). It has started to rain a bit, but it is still absolutely stunning in my opinion. We are promised some sun later this afternoon, but I’m satisfied. Eating lunch now at a little restaurant called La Scogliera. Seafood ravioli is euphoric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
