I think the Captain's "Throne" room was bigger than this galley. I'm sorry but I would not be able to prepare a meal in this tight space😁

Yes, it is specific to Royal as they will not pay the fee to State of MD to have a temporary license for each cruise. Carnival pays the fee, therefore, they are allowed to operate their casino prior to reaching international waters. I believe Carnival is allowed to open their casino once they pass under the bridge.

Yup the charge comes to $14 pp with the automatic tip. You can have extra sides and includes desert, but not the milkshakes. This does not apply to all ships, last I heard some were still doing a la Carte. Anthem is one of them, Last I heard.

Yes, you definitely can do this. We did this with our Son and his Fiance a couple months ago. When we did online check in we input their credit card info for onboard charges under their names as to keep that separate. We paid for their cruise but they were responsible to pay for whatever they bought onboard. We linked the reservations together so all 4 of us would have same table in dining room. Once onboard we didn't ask to switch names for cabins we simply got key cards. By doing this they ended up with welcome gift of waters and chocolate covered strawberries in their cabin.

No, you cannot do this with traditional dining. With traditional dining you assigned the same table every night. You could do my time dining, but there have been lots of issues with long lines for this option.

Looks like a great party for your Grandson.

Very nice photos, not boring at all. I love this kind of stuff. Please do post more when you can.

Unfortunately, this is a common problem with soot from smoke stacks.

If you are Diamond or higher you would get at least 24 hours for free. If you go to their computer area you would need to purchase internet pkg. If you decided to cancel you would have to ask the Voom desk if they would refund you. @Biker19can explain how you can get a couple minutes of free internet. I have never tried but hear it works.

Your Husband is an amazing cook. Everything looks delicious. Enjoy🥰

So sorry to hear of your sciatica troubles. I hope and prayer the pain goes away quickly and you are able to do your long awaited trip. 🙏🦋

Yes, it will cost more onboard. Yes, you could purchase for 9 days instead of 14 days and pay for only 9 days.

It was ever week on my winter and spring cruises. I didn't ask on my cruise the other week. I know the crew (optonal) had stopped wearing in their quarters months ago. 2 bartenders had said they rumor they heard no masks for crew by end of the year as long as all went well with no Fall outbreaks.

Are the crew members still tested weekly?

Loving your review and looking forward to more😃

I did not see any specials offered like we did last winter. Your best bet is to do Giovannis for lunch. Something like $25 pp and basically the same menu for dinner.

Oh no, that is horrible to hear about Nova Scotia. I have not read or watched the news. God bless them🙏

Hopefully she tips well😁 Have you taken the class on how to make towel animals?

Shanah Tovah to all our family members that celebrate. May this new year be even better than the last filled with love, peace and happiness💕

Hope you have a great sailing on Serenade. She is our favorite ship.

OUCH! That looks very painful. Glad they were able to pop back in place and not have to do surgery. Hope she is feeling better today.

I remember seeing photos of that on CC. Vaguely remember the guy being very upset when he returned hours later and security speaking with him

I just read an article that says it will be called Hideaway Beach with Royal Beach Club. It will be located on the western end of the island where there is undeveloped land. Looking at your photos maybe that is on the left side to the end of the island? Do you have any plans to get on the waterside in the near future for an updated photo?😄

Wouldn't it be great if that woman gets charged $25 per towel😁 maybe then she will stop and think before thinking she could leave her towel for 5+ hrs.

I phoned royal and after a lot of back and forth and noone really sure what the charge was for I was told it will be refunded. First they were trying to say it may be a charge from my 8.28 sailing on Oasis but after review of that bill they were clueless.
