Just off Allure. The captain said we would be able to enjoy the DL for three more years. I assume that's when it will go bye-bye. Another RCCL "enhancement."

Only two bottles for 340+

Just wondering if the Solarium Bistro is open on Allure for breakfast. On other ships it has been closed but it's a nicer, quieter way to enjoy breakfast and/or lunch.

Cheers with an Officer is the nicest. Before COVID, it used to be meal with an officer where one or two officers would join your table for lunch. Now they just come in for a toast but it is still a very nice lunch and a chance to meet new folks.

This can be a problem across all levels. We've sat in the lounge and all we've heard is folks recounting every one of their past cruises as well as the 12 they have planned for the future. Remember folks, it's not all about you.

What's the difference? Time. Printing out the receipt... waiting for it to be filled out, signed and returned... it all takes time and slows down the bar service for everyone.

Yes, I know smoking was allowed back then but not to amount depicted. Detracted from the show.

Well said!

No special line for D or D+. Another RCCL "enhancement."

No bottle openers in rooms, though.

Is living in Florida a "strategy?" Seriously, RCCL should reward those of us who have to pay to fly 1000 miles or more to get to a cruise.

Thank you for your comments regarding the rescue of the boat people. We were on a cruise when a pontoon boat was breaking apart and ready to sink. The amazing crew rescued all the folks. The captain stated that if they had not been rescued, they all would have died within the hour. What was horrific was the attitude of some of the passengers on the ship who were angry that these folks had been rescued. Yet, think about it. These people put their lives at risk to attain freedom from communist Cuba. They are the very people America should be welcoming. In any case, they were dropped off in Mexico where, I hope, they were able to start new lives in freedom.

Sadly, haven't seen the honey stung chicken in ages.

Breakfast... Fried eggs and bacon Lunch... Indian food Dinner... Stir fry or Mongolian Barbecue

Would you like to make a donation to my cruise fare?

The real "problem" for the double points isn't new Pinnacles, it's new Diamonds which may force RCCL to change their C&A program. Think about it, 8 free drinks per couple per day. That's 56 free drinks every 7 night cruise. That's a big financial hit in cost and income lost for RCCL.

Coastal Kitchen and free wifi.

Sparks came out of the socket, so I assume you reported it to RCCL. What did they say?

Amazing to see how threads can get hijacked. A debate about sales tax? Really?

The simplest and cleanest solution to me is to make the new policy effective with new bookings only. All existing bookings should keep the old rates.

Spot on! The waiters really appreciate this as it can affect their promotions.

Sorry, but why would you "tip" $5 or $10 for a beer?

We used off site parking once or twice to save a few bucks. Never again. The lot only had one or two shuittle vans and we had to wait outside in the cold for nearly an hour for a ride. Never again.

Peace to you.

26.4% of nurses who died from COVID were Filipino despite being only 4% of the total nursing population in the U.S.. Many served in NYC. Instead of trying to diminish their role in sacrificing to save lives you should be applauding their efforts. Please contact the Philippine Nurses Association of New York to enlighten your understanding.
