30+ minutes to not get a beer I ordered via delivery service.  The bar service away from the actual bar has been awful.  The bar tenders that I have greased are great, everywhere else has been a FAIL. 

First time cruising out of PE. We have stayed at the Renaissance numerous times though. This is our go to property on 17th street.  Publix and Winn Dixie within walking distance.  Our favorite restaurant is Southport Raw Bar.  For breakfast we go to the Marina Deli for some authentic Jewish food.  Lots of great information on this thread.  We are leaving out of terminal 21 so from what I decipher, Uber is the way to go.  Probably head over around noon.  Thanks for the insight. Cheers!

And now you know why the wealthy parts of towns were built upwind of the industrialized areas.

?? If you are still on Atlantic time, then it sounds like you didn't change the clock.  I know I'm missing something and likely going to regret the reply.  

The ship stayed on Atlantic time until we were almost back in Port Canaveral.  
As for the crew opinions. 
Both waiters, 3 bar tenders, concierge, head waiter, spa manager (overslept), room steward, help desk. None agreed with the policy on a 7 day round trip.  YMMV

Brought the Rona back home with us. As the cruise went on, the dining rooms sounded like tuberculosis clinics.

You would "hate" to be on a TA then. 

 

Six time changes, six days in a row.  

Well of course.  A round trip that ends up where it started is stupid to change. 

I can’t stand the policy of changing clocks twice on a 7 day Caribbean cruise. 
Currently off the Cuban coast but still on Atlantic time. 
The crew hates it more than the passengers. Plain stupidity. 
Hey RCI! Your time change policy SSSSSSUCKS!

If politicians can ignore with impunity subpoenas and summons to show in court, so can average Joe BagOdonuts. 
Call it the Politician Precedence. 

The card on the lanyard around my neck right now is punched. 

Maybe they should reconsider cheese tables.

I’ve had excellent weather during lousy forecasts and lousy weather during excellent forecasts.

Oh, I've seen many people order 2 or 3 entrees. I wonder where all that food fits. That's just the entrees. 

Thankfully, the shipyard plumbing engineers are geniuses.

Bringing mine next week. They work fine, as do the the Walkie-Talkies the crew uses. Not interested in exorbitant wifi fees onboard for 4 people.  Great to have in an emergency. 

Tweet your frustration with names. Make sure RCI is @ as well. 

Hollywood has drained the creativity well dry. O’Donnell is annoying and phony. Fits right in. 

We are booked into the 2 BR during Thanksgiving this year.  Thanks for the updates.  My wife was curious if there is a suite only section at the Windjammer.  I told her she was nuts. Was I wrong? 

Just spent 3 nights here.  The rooms are in desperate need of a refurbishment.  
Service was overall good.  The Auburn fan concierge was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.  
The price is ridiculous. We didn’t take advantage of the breakfast or Happy Hour.  Way too many schnorrers.  Clientele left a lot to be desired 

Port side in months that end in R when sailing in the Southern Hemisphere and Starboard in months that end in Y when in the Northern Hemisphere.  

Or, it could be the other way around. 

Thank you. 

Booked on a June Independence cruise. Didn’t come with any perks. 

If there are some offered for Black Friday,  would it be likely they offer to us that have already locked in a room? Should I bother my TA?

Thanks for the responses. Happy and safe Thanksgiving to all.

What about the people who are exercising on the pool deck sweating like crazy then jump in pool to cool off without showering. They jump in I get out. YUK! Saw it with my own eyes. 

You do realize that you are in the pool with every other persons skin cells, hair (head and other places), snot, body fluids and dingleberries?

500 lb and 300lb, do you have a scale?    I got to see this one 😄

The ship lists to the side they are on. 

I am working on a device sort of like the exploding dye packets that bank robbers get that will spread brown color on people who leave a public bathroom without thoroughly washing their hands. 

Social shaming is all the rage and it works. 

Nothing will make the spread of viruses diminish appreciably. Covers, additional servers etc. are band aids on deep sucking flesh wounds.  

The world will be a much different place when this corona virus dies down. 

Good luck to us all. 

I just cancelled our July 4th Equinox. I didn’t want to gamble with $10000. If the cruise line declares bankruptcy, we’d get nothing. 

Sad sad day.
