Club Royale - Masters is a joke, don't bother
voyager70 replied to jtsongas's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That’s an awesome place to be. I’m doing my best to get there myself in the next 10 years (or hopefully sooner) so I can enjoy my retirement and plenty of post-retirement cruises! -
Hairdryers on Explorer Of The Seas
voyager70 replied to scouse mouse's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I had a box of tissues in the top drawer opposite the drawer with the hair dryer. Odd that your cabin had neither. I’m sure your cabin attendant could have provided them if you asked. -
Hairdryers on Explorer Of The Seas
voyager70 replied to scouse mouse's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We were on EX in April and there was a hairdryer in the top drawer of the desk. Same as it’s always been as long as I can remember. -
We had one of these cabins once and didn’t care for the balcony for the reasons you described. I’d prefer a “regular” balcony any day.

We did a cruise line excursion on our first visit to Athens - can’t remember what it was called but it was a full day tour which included stops at all the main sights and ended with 3-4 hours on our own at the Plaka. Was very interesting and informative and we really enjoyed the free time to explore. I thought it was a nice excursion and would recommend.

Prices have definitely come down in the Lee County area since Ian hit last fall. I have a couple real estate apps on my phone which I play with frequently. It’s very sad to see how many people are selling their storm damaged homes “as is” but there are many homes on the market that suffered only minimal damage which has since been repaired. Being quite familiar with the area I pretty much know which areas to avoid as far as flooding/storm surge issues although no place is immune from natural disasters. And yes, when the time comes, a pool is a must have! I actually prefer pools without a cage. I know they keep the bugs out but I like the open air feeling much better.

If I recall you live in the Panhandle? They have some of the nicest beaches in the country and I love the laid back southern feel. But being from the northeast I want nothing to do with winter (or as little as possible) when I retire so I’m looking at south Florida for my retirement, hopefully in the next 10 years. I’ve always been partial to SW Florida (Fort Myers area specifically) as it was a second home to me growing up but I’m also considering the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area now because I want to make sure I have access to good health care as I get older. I’ll have to do my research before making any type of decision. Whatever I decide it will sure be nice to be in driving distance to several ports!

FOS, deck 12 ocean view balcony?
voyager70 replied to kelbell's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Potentially more motion being higher up and forward if that is an issue. Personally I would prefer the deck 8 location as it is more centrally located. -
If your schedule is flexible I’d take the offer for basically a free cruise. But I know that’s not always an option. Good luck with whatever you decide.

2:00 (ish) is the normal “ready” time for cabins to become available.

Central Park on the Allure of the Seas
voyager70 replied to Houstoncruiser2007's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That pic of CP on Allure is depressing. Still a great ship but the lack of foliage definitely takes some of the appeal/serenity of CP away.
