Agree with the Hilton. Easy walk to restaurants/shops. Nice place.

We are booked on Harmony of the Seas in August sailing to Roatan, Costa Maya and Cozumel. We would like to book a Segway tour in Costa Maya but RCC says that the cutoff age for this tour is 70 and we are older than this but in good physical condition and have ridden segways previously.  Does RCC actually check for age when this tour is booked?

Yep. Insurance issue. Will check your age every time. As I well know being over 70.

Traffic in Houston is a nightmare. I would make any flight after your cruise at least in the afternoon.

Why odd? Boy George has just finished a run in Moulin Rouge on Broadway so feels pretty relevant right now.

Agree. And glad someone besides me knows Boy George. Only seems odd to me based on President's Cruise if mostly booked by Upper Tier Crown and Anchor members.

Last year we sailed on Allure President's Cruise. Had Chaka Khan as the headliner. 

I thought she was great but many disagreed.

I'm still wishing for Whitesnake.

Might have something to do with booking Boy George and Culture Club to headline President's Cruise 2024?

Sure seems like an odd choice to me.

Oasis is scheduled for the President's Cruise in June, 2024. What you're seeing is the ship being prepared for the cruise.

We sailed on Allure 2023 President's Cruise, same thing.

Ready the ship to host Royal President and executive staff. Plus about two thousand Crown and Anchor members.

This is one of the reasons we do consecutive cruises.  You only need to pay airfare and hotel for one.

Agree. We drive to Galveston from Missouri but flights to Florida often are $ 1000.00 or more for the two of us. Add bags, hotel stay, meals, and taxi your close to doubling the cost of cruise fare.

Really think they will move to a point system based on dollars spent. Already happens in the Casino.

Stayed twice in Central Park Balcony rooms.Loved it both times. 

We used our 3 night package for Hibachi on Allure in July. There is an up charge but well worth the price.

Not considering leaving but have cut back on the number of cruises for this year. Also starting to take a look at Cancun resorts. All inclusive offers value and better dining.

Mama Mia

Just got off the Voyager today. Took $ 500.00 for me, wife had $ 250.00. Mine is down to $ 87.00. She somehow still has her entire amount. How does that work???

Never had a problem. They sometimes will ask if you would like to share a table, with others. We decline.

We are departing on Voyager from Galveston on Saturday, Feb. 10th, our cabin is Starboard Deck 10. Does anyone know if Deck 10 was affected like Deck 9 with flooding? Are these rooms now 'dried out'? I heard some passengers have been offered FCC or a move...I haven't heard anything from RCCL so I'm 'assuming' our cabin is OK...a bit apprehensive...

Also joining you Feb. 10th. Have not heard from RCCL, so thinking all is fine. Guess we will see. We drive down from Missouri, leave on Thursday.

GO CHIEFS...

We are planning to do a 9 night next February on Serenade from Tampa. 4 ports, 4 sea days. We don't care for Oasis class, we like the smaller ships. And for us, a relaxing day in a lounger by the Solarium pool is heaven. 

We have same cruise booked Feb 14th, 2025.

In 1966 it was Gas/Tires/Oil. Still miss that car. Had to sell it when I was drafted.

For everyone’s trivia needs: 

 

GTO : Gran Turismo Omologato

 

 

 

We always buy the 3 night package, when offered. Have the Voyager booked for 5 nights in February. Will eat dinner 4 nights in specialty restaurants. Italian twice. Skipping one night since it is the Super Bowl. Pretty sure we will end up eating Pizza after several (many) drinks.

I agree. Just put it in the total and be done with it.

One hundred percent agree. Add it to everyone's fare. 

We stayed at the Hilton on 17th street. You can see the ships from the hotel.

Cab ride from the airport to the hotel is about 15 minutes, and costs $ 20.00 with a tip.

The hotel has a shuttle to ships. Think the cost is $ 7.00 for each passenger.

Wife won a Bag in the Bag on Ovation.

We give 5 a bag

Agree with you. $ 5.00 per bag, we always have 2 bags.

We always stay at the Radisson Hotel by the airport. Free ride to the hotel. Right next to 13 Coins (excellent restaurant). Seattle Express will pick you up at the hotel taking you to the cruise ship. After the cruise will return you to the airport.

I grew up in Seattle. If you stay downtown, be careful after dark. 

We have her booked out of Boston September 29th, 2024.

Sailed on Allure in July. We chose not to eat in the MDR.

Royal Burger, Chicken Sandwich and Four - Lentil Chili not my idea of Dinner Dining.

Food is well below what I expect.
