LOL People who won't reuse a towel they used once after taking a shower. What makes it "disgusting"? Your towel, used on you one time isn't dirty considering you just took a shower. I'm far from green, but I'm not too superior to reuse a towel once. Just google how often you should wash your towels. I think you'll be surprised. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/how-often-should-you-wash-your-germ-magnet-of-a-bath-towel/#:~:text=As a general rule%2C launder,re sick to avoid reinfection. https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/02/health/washing-towels-how-often-wellness/index.html

In a panic, missed final payment
BND replied to tomahawk246's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Another good reason to have a good TA. Ours are friends and she has our cc info. She always reminds us just to make sure we want to make final payment, but we've never even come close. I always tell her to pay off a week or so ahead and if we're doing a b2b, to pay both off at the same time. -
Most people aren't even in their cabin most of the day so I'm trying to figure out how anyone can have that much trash per day. We stay in JS so we still get twice a day, but honestly, I'd be fine with once in the evening. Too many times we've come back to the cabin for one reason or another before noon and have timed it perfectly to get there when the steward is there. We don't ask for ice as have no need for it. Towels get replaced in the evening as we normally shower before dinner, after a day in the sun.

It has not run either time we were there last year. I have a knee with issues (injury 4 years ago, but still "tight") and I have walked the pier both times. Also, when we've been there, there have been several ships and only ONE shuttle that holds maybe 15 people, (20 at most) and it only runs on the main pier. We've been down the side pier both times so you have to walk that distance just to get to the shuttle, if it's running.

We've been on GR 7 times and EN 7 times, (Baltimore) and there are always a lot of top tiers onboard. We've done Vision out of Tampa a few years ago and the D Lounge overflowed into the lounge it sits in. Only time we had low top tier numbers was last summer to Bermuda on GR. That's because it was only 6 nights, not the ship.

Fresh squeezed orange juice in the dining room...Anthem
BND replied to OCVTSGIRL's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The oj from concentrate that is complimentary is much better than the "fresh squeezed" you pay extra for. We've tried the fresh squeezed a few times on different ships and it's just not that good. -
Mine still says "in process" at 6 weeks.

Has Adult Comedy Show format changed?
BND replied to Newbieflorida's topic in Royal Caribbean International
On EN in April, it was held at like 945 or so. Much earlier than we're used to. -
Mariner Passenger Overboard Rescued

My DH is a retired Navy Captain and he's amazed. Where did you jump from 100 ft? And you were trained to do so? She "fell" which indicates no control. -

This, as the lifejacket would shift a lot. If she went in feet first, it would slam upwards quickly which could break her neck. Anyone who thinks dropping into the water from 100 feet is easily survivable is incorrect. Hitting water at that distance is like hitting concrete. -
And yet, you're on it lol.

The vast majority who fall 100 feet off a ship do not survive. Most are knocked unconscious. Have you ever jumped off a 3 meter diving board? If you hit the water incorrectly, it hurts, so almost 10x that, the difference will do more than hurt, especially as this person fell over which means more than likely they didn't hit the water foot first or in a diving position. -
Mariner Passenger Overboard Rescued
BND replied to OCSC Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean International
There's no surprise there. I do wonder if cruise lines share info about incidents like with each other, as in names, etc. in order to prevent cruising by this individual again. She's very, very lucky she survived after that fall. -

BND replied to OCSC Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My point is she has said that for every, single, cruise. You'd think she'd stop saying it after I told her multiple times (and showed her) how high the railings are. -

BND replied to OCSC Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I just saw a report that it was deck 10. How the heck did she survive a 100 ft drop? She must have hit feet first because from that height she could have broken her neck and at the very least knocked unconcious. -

What deck did she "fall" from? I don't remember seeing that. That makes all the difference.
