I would love for a review of the world cruise. Such a different experience than your average cruise and would be nice to hear all about it.

You can call to book excursions. I think they have an option to press for excursions.

I carry a small backpack with sunscreen, cell phone, brush, book and glasses to the pool. Never had a problem. I wouldn't recommend just leaving a phone sit on lounger out in the open. Getting a glass of ice water is easy, waiters can bring to you or get yourself at any bar, no problem.

Sorry for the loss of your Mom😪 96 ys old is amazing, hopefully she passed peacefully and her memories bring you comfort.🥰 May she RIP🙏

I couldn't find prices on their website. Any idea how much to rent golf cart for the day?

$3799 for overwater cabana is crazy high, IMO. This serenade sailing is selling for $1199 with other cabanas at $799 to $999.

10 weeks...Woot Woot! That will be awesome. The most we have done is 4 weeks and it was really rough to come back home and get back to a daily routine of work, cooking, cleaning. 10 weeks would have me so relaxed and spoiled I would have to bring home at least one or two crew members to help get me back into my groove😁

Happy to hear your families homes are all OK. Hope you have 3 weeks of smooth seas with warm sunny skies. Bon Voyage😀

We are on Anthem 12.04 sailing and plan on doing just as you said. We enjoy South Beach or chill island and prefer the snack shack with their funnel cakes, etc. Over the buffet. There are lots of nice free areas.

We had this back in 2020 for something like $45 on sale. We loved the area but said we would never pay more than $60 or $70 to return to the beach club. I just booked at this price. Worst case we change our minds and cancel it, we have till next September to decide.😀 @sgmn might want to book if this intetests you and Gary.

That's a great price! My other future sailings all have it listed for $175:to $245 pp. I'm on that Serenade report sailing and will definitely check that out. Thank you!

What a sweet, precious little girl🥰 Momma pup seemed to really appreciate the visit. Thank you for sharing

I believe they have stopped asking those questions sometime in August. We were not asked anything (other than the 3 questions on the app) on our cruise last month.

It is so very odd that your invoice states final payment date of october 7th for a sailing on december 24th. Your final payment date should have been Sunday September 25th. Sounds like your reservation was messed up from day 1. did you book direct with royal by phone or online?

That is awesome that he is an energy efficient kitty. Adorable😀

Wow! They are really enjoying themselves. I don't think I could sit still for that long with all of them around and climbing on me.

The last time we had to change cabins on a b2b they took everything that we had hanging in the closet and put on hotel cart and we pack to our toiletries and whatever else loose items we had in drawers. Then they moved our luggage for us to the new cabin.

No damage done by Ian or Fiona. Neither of them were close enough to the Bahamas to do any damage.

Glad to hear you are feeling better😃

+1 - exactly what do too

Time to get rid of their $40 TA requirement😃

I agree with your logic. After a disaster of this size insurance adjusters are not going to get to every home and they don't expect everyone to be sitting at their home to meet with them. I would file the claim and make sure I had phone and email access to stay in touch while onboard the ship. There really isn't much that can be done sitting at home. From the sounds of the damage, she probably has to find temporary housing anyway. Getting pampered on a ship sounds much better than sitting in a hotel or at a friends house waiting for a call from an ins. rep and contractor(s). I know from experience with SuperStorm Sandy when it hit our home on the island of LBI NJ, it took while over 30-days before an insurance person came to see our house that was a full gut inside and out. The home stunk with couple feet of sand inside and dead fish, mold growing everywhere, looting of people's copper pipes, etc. was happening until the National Guard stepped in to control who visited the island. It tooks weeks for the insurance people to even get back to me with their assessment of the damage. Then weeks before a contractor could even look at the home. The entire process was about 9 to 10 months before the house was repaired and I was one of the lucky ones. Some fought with insurance companies for over a year. If she wants to stay home and cancel the cruise in its entirety her TA that booked the cruise will be the only person Royal will speak with at this stage. The other option is for her to email mbayley@rccl.com and explain her situation. Royal is usually compassionate towards people involved in these types of storms. Whatever she decides I wish her the best with her home and thankful to hear she is okay.

I have had the same thoughts but reminding myself that storms like this don't happen all the time and the safest place to be is on a cruise ship since they know how to detour and avoid. And a bonus couple extra days at sea sound great to me should something happen😃

Good Morning Ellen, Thankful to hear you are okay🥰 Your husband was definitely watching you. That's good to hear a friend is with you. Sorry to hear about her home.

@Luckynanasorry I didn't get to say Bon Voyage yesterday. I hope you have a wonderful sailing with smooth seas and warm sunny skies with no worries🥰
