  1. The escort and the champagne are all you get https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-are-the-benefits-of-the-suites-program
  2. Sounds like you're connected in a way that it's using a DNS other than RC's, which is why login/logoff aren't working.
  3. Another tip on binoculars, specifically for the warm weather routes. Leave the binoculars on the balcony (if you have one) or get them outside to adjust to temp/humidity for a while before using them. Otherwise they fog up really fast even if you wipe them off.
  4. Agreed. "zero alcohol" is a trade/commerce/legal definition under a certain amount of alcohol. But if you truly need zero alcohol, alcohol free wines aren't what you're looking for.
  5. Alcohol free wines are typically alcohol-removed.
  6. On Adventure, the captain said 2028-2029 entry into service.
  7. Remember, cruise ships make up only 1% of all noro outbreaks.
  8. It's amazing people manage to get back home alive based on some post cruise social media posts.
  9. But it'll all be taken care of before you board with the extra cleaning procedures, so don't sweat it.
  10. This was to be their last major vacation together. It's entirely possibly he didn't want to burden the family with his dementia over the next few years and took matters into his own hands.
  11. It will be an email directly from the concierge email address.
  12. Also depending on the ship, the shaver outlet may only work when the bathroom lights are on. You may want to look into a battery operated night light.
  13. Lots of different viruses/bacteria can cause a GI illness. Then there's just a bad reaction to food.
  14. Cruise lines only have to report GI outbreaks involving at least 2% of passengers or 3% including crew. Plus there are plenty of GI things that aren't noro that people can get on board (and that may not even be contagious)
  15. That's pretty late for Adventure.
  16. RC reported 4 noro outbreaks last year, more than any other cruise line. I do believe they take it quite seriously.
  17. Any GI issues on ships shouldn't be a worry to anyone other than those on the ship. GI outbreaks rarely happen on ships. You're more likely to get noro from just spending time at a nursing home. Also rare is having an outbreak affect a significant portion of the ship. Look at this year's events that met the reporting threshold. Only 4 of them. And only one was more than 5% of passengers. But that was only 7%. Are you on Radiance next cruise? No worries, they'll have it all taken care of before they let people board again.
  18. Having linked reservations does not guarantee a table together.
  19. The cocktails aren't included in the beverage package. But are included with ESC. Not many places on land you could get an 8 course meal with drinks included for $200
  20. The cocktails included alone would be worth over $100. I think the $200 price tag is extremely fair.
