I remember back in the day when we paid our gratuities with cash on the last night. It was so sad to see the dining room having so many empty tables with the pricks not paying their gratuities too wimpy to show up.

I have zero desire to go back. Haiti is in ruins, with rampant crime, riots, etc., and the only thing keeping those people out is a fence. No thanks.

It's on the Allure and Harmony for sure.

Next they're going to charge for more than 1 roll of toilet paper per week.😁 I can see maybe another pizza joint making REAL pizza's and charging, but not that cardboard crap that is only good at 2am when I'm "slightly" intoxicated 🤪

I figured there would those would disagree with me getting someone my free pictures, but to you I say move on, you're opinion isn't welcomed here. ALWAYS those who feel the need to run their mouths. I haven't received one single picture since becoming diamond, and likely will not any time soon, and my traveling mates are the same. We earned this right, and with the 4 free drinks, they ALLOW us to give those to someone else. So instead of not using them, I thought we'd try and let this couple have some free pictures, which costs them NOTHING, especially when compared to the free drinks we're ALLOWED to give away. Thanks for the "kinder" thoughts from the rest of you!

Do I have to be in the picture to get it free? I'm traveling with a couple on their first cruise and there are a couple diamond and a couple diamond+ in the group. We all have more pics than we would ever want so if we can use the freebies for someone else that would be great!

Right on que!!🙄

Sounds like a cruise 3 months later would've been WAY better!

There are MANY transportation companies available so why not find someone else? This company likely wants to "dump" you off way early so they can get another run to/from another party. We're boarding in 3 weeks with an 11 am time and not even leaving our hotel until 9:30.

I usually drop the luggage off then all of us go do the car return. Much easier to not have all the bags

My passport expired less than 30 days after a cruise last and had no issues. More of an issue when traveling internationally by flying. Mine was put away during the pandemic and just never even occurred to me to look. But you can also send them in and use birth certs and drivers license if not received back in time. For renewals you need not send in the birth certificates.

Wouldn't hurt to call and throw a hypothetical at them to see what they say.

I just earn enough points on a cruise to get another free cruise onboard. That along with the annual freebie I'm good.

Make sure they only charge 7 days versus 8. That's one of the differences I found when we cruised out of there. The port was $25/day when we cruised out of there last year so it wasn't worth it for the hassle by the time we paid for 8 versus 7 that the port charges.

Certainly was not Daniel Johnson's Monkey Sloths, as they take good care of their animals. The others are copycats and I've heard some bad things about 1 or 2 of them.

Couldn't these morons have figured this out and PLANNED this? Then just block out the schedule. Or cancel cruises a little further out than 6 months to give people more time? If this were me, I'd just book on another cruise line. RCCL sucks and I only go for the free casino comped at this point. I will NEVER pay for another with them. NCL is far superior with their newer ships nowadays...

I've had one for years and only use it for anything purchased from Royal Caribbean to get the 2%. That includes the cruise fare, cruise planner purchases and my onboard account which I take out cash for gambling so that can quite hefty. The other purchases only being 1% is easily beat my my other cards where I get up to 5%

Be nice if they could credit those who don't get off the ship there. Nothing about Nassau attracts us anymore and never get off the ship there. Been there, done that too many times....

I rode it when it was free. I wouldn't pay a dollar to do it again. You go high, big deal. Nothing to see when at sea other than what you can already see from the top floors of the ship.

Try searching Amazon for a travel pedestal fan. I LOVE them because they fold up small for the suitcase but unfold and telescope up tall enough to be on the floor. This way they need to be on a table and very flexible where they can be put.

Lionesss, have you been to the new non-smoking casino? Curious what people's thoughts are about them. I'll be on the Allure in August on a casino-comped as well.

The CP views are the deck just above CP so they will be quiet. There's really no noise in CP other than some piped in birds singing.

The showers have the handheld shower heads that are plenty long enough to reach down to a baby so not sure if a tub is necessary? Probably cleaner though as I'm not so sure they thoroughly clean them between sailings if at all.

We got one through a RoyalUp upgrade about 2 weeks prior to sailing. It was nice having but would've been willing to trade if needed.

You did NOTHING wrong. There's just a lot of pompous asses on this board nowadays which is why the big migration to the "other" place...🙄
