You are correct that we are heading toward Bermuda. I believe that the captain said we will get close between midnight and 1 am when a rescue vessel will arrive for the patient transfer.

I was so excited to see that you were doing another "live from" because your reviews are so much fun to read! Then I realized that we are going on the same TA! Looking forward to meeting you on the ship. Have fun and safe travels. Joan

We were very happy with Airport Pickups London and plan to use them again.

While the venue itself is still two stories, the upper level is used for Chef’s Table. The Chef’s Table guests enter through the Crown Lounge.

Agree. We were recently on a B2B, so had early access to our room. The door to the room next to ours was wide open with no crew around and with the new cruisers' carryon bags (dropped off by the Key program) in plain sight.

When we have had the daily coffee credit on some other ships, we received physical vouchers. However, as previously mentioned, a daily coffee credit was loaded on to our seapass cards on the recent Anthem TA. What was odd, to us at least, was that the coffee posted on our account just like the drink "vouchers" for Diamond through Pinnacle. Even odder, we were in a suite, and the "free" drinks provided to suite guests in the concierge lounge on the Anthem also posted on our account like the D/D+/P vouchers. It took a bit of sorting to know which were our actual vouchers, and which were the additional "free" drinks.

We had stateroom 8181 on Celebrity Infinity as well. It was perfect for Alaska. Thanks for the video!

I don't have an issue with this if I knew that 100% of the increase was going to the crew. However, Royal doesn't rank high on my trust meter these days.

Vigo and Lisbon were affected: Vigo arrival is now 10 am and Lisbon arrival is now 8:30 am. Departure remained the same.

We were notified in March of this year that the time in some ports for the October 2023 Anthem TA were modified in order "to maintain a safe and comfortable speed." I appreciated the advance notice. Is there a reason why Royal didn't think speed would be an issue for subsequent cruises down the East Coast? Were they hoping that the issue would have been resolved by then?

I have not been able to get cans of soda with the soda package. If I see a server bringing me a can, it usually means they have charged my drink vouchers in error.

Serenade - same front and back

Boarding pass showed Sea Class for Wonder. I wasn't surprised, though, by not being allowed in the suite line for an Oasis-class ship at PC (though I would have liked a heads-up), because "back in the day", Oasis at PC only allowed Sky/Star classes and Pinnacles to go through the suite line. Back then, though, there were special signs they used to indicate such for the Oasis boardings. I didn't see any such signs for the Wonder boarding.

We were not allowed in the suite line when sailing in a junior suite on Wonder out of Port Canaveral in April.

Thank you for posting about the change to "pay as you enter" for T5 parking. Good news that I must have missed if it was published earlier.
