Our card comes with the four selections to check off and return to LA if we are interested. Galley tour, bridge tour, theater tour, and the meal with an officer were the choices. Yes, that's typical. That card never showed up. Most of our invites just came as messages on the TV 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jagsfan #1053 Posted August 29 (edited) Good luck if Dorian comes to visit. I hope you have hurricane shutters, though I’d be the one on the balcony watching. A friend just texted me she’s been to our 4 neighborhood Publixes here in Jax and the water aisles are stripped clean. Ditto for batteries and bread....she said even the Little Debbie stuff is gone i’ll bet There are people who still have gallon jugs of water from last year but are afraid to drink it because it’s expired. Thank you, John for a lovely cruise experience and I’m looking forward to the next one. Edited August 29 by jagsfan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We ask for our two for every cruise over 5 nights, and have never had any issues getting them or using them. M 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M Same thing...I get them when I ask for them, and also have to ask which is the "free day". I don't put anything in that bag that would break my heart if it gets ruined or lost. 😮 Mostly just socks, t-shirts, etc. It really helps out for doing B2B cruises. 🙂 Edited August 29 by island lady 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoperDK #1061 Posted August 29 Hoping that Dorian doesn't come your way. I grew up in South Miami and was stationed with the military in Mississippi and Alabama. I've seen my fair share of tropical weather. It doesn't look good. Be safe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sellwingri #1063 Posted August 30 We always ask our room attendant for the laundry bag. It’s probably been at least 2 years since we had one delivered to our room without asking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snit13 #1064 Posted August 30 Hello John, Laura and Bella. I sincerely hope Dorian does not visit you but if he does that your condo suffers no harm. I just returned home from UFHealth in Gainesville yesterday following open heart surgery on August 9 and am trying to find my way back to where I left your review on August 8. So many pages. Heard you have posted many more pictures while I was away. I did see the awesome picture of Bella on page 43, I believe. Hope Dorian doesn't cross the state to Citrus County as I am in no condition for a hurricane much less a party. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maplemoose #1068 Posted August 30 Is it true that you cannot use MTD Dining before 6:30 now on teh HOTS? If so, do you know if someone can get a table for 2 for regular dining. It would suck to go to the buffet every night. We do not want to join a big table for various reasons. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snit13 #1073 Posted August 31 John, thanks for the Bella photos. The first of the two is so precious I just want to hug her. Following Dorian especially with you in mind. This am on Weather Channel it appears FL may not get slammed as badly as last night's report. We are prepared, so to speak, over here on the west coast but wish he would just blow out to sea and spare us all. Any news from Royal on your Mariner cruise? I believe I read you were to sail Monday. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know they designed the water park to withstand hurricane winds. I would be curious if the cabanas were removable and they could store them for safe keeping till after the storm passes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
