Wonder has many things that are not on the Oasis.  Wonder is my favorite Oasis class ship.

Ovation has the blocks on board earlier this month.  I requested mine to be mailed

Yes, they are heavy.  I once had an extended trip where I ended up carrying 3 home in my carry-on bag.  TSA decided they wanted to open and check each one of them.

Had a TSA employee in New Orleans tell me I could not fly with a crystal block.  When I asked to see a supervisor, she told me the person working with her was her supervisor.  I pointed out that they both only had one stripe on their shoulders, and supervisors have two or three stripes on their shoulders.  She then called over a supervisor (who had three stripes) and he looked at the block and advised that I could fly with the block.  As I walked away with my block, I could hear the supervisor asking the two what they were thinking.  

Still waiting for Odyssey from August 2021 and Wonder from March 2022.

Does anyone believe that Majesty of Oceans ever will sail with paying passangers again?

I think if the price of scrap steel goes up, Majesty will be sold for scrap.  Her two sisters have been scrapped and I feel she will also be scrapped.  I was on Majesty when all cruising stopped for COVID.

Currently on the Ovation, and they still have blocks that you can receive while on the ship.

Not received ours yet in fairness we’ve only been waiting for three weeks or so.

I am still waiting for my Wonder block I earned in March 2022.

Anyone received an Odyssey block lately?  Still waiting on block from 1/29/22 sailing. C&A desk won’t provide any timeframe.  

Still waiting on the Odyssey block I earned in August 2021.

1. Royal cancelled Tracy Arm Fjord this morning at 6:00am due to heavy fog.  We will now arrive in Juneau at 9:00am instead of 1:30am.

What is not clear is if you do a B2B that is a 3 day and a 4 day, do you need to be tested.  Both cruises are less then 6, but the B2B total is 6 or more.

Still waiting for an Odyssey block from August of last year. LA told me last month that they are still on back order.

Been waiting for an Odyyse block for 11 months and a Wonder block since March.

Currently on Quantum, and this ship has blocks on board.  Requested to have the block delivered to my room since I drove to this cruise.

• The Majesty transponder has been turned off again.  Hope she is back in storage and not on a beach somewhere.

Now the transponder is back on.  Still docked near Athens.

Some of us like to take advantage of the Alaska cruises because we can drive to the ports.  No flights or hotel needed.  Have done three so far and will do two more this month.  Have more scheduled in August and September.  Took two in October of last year and have pictures of Skagway with trees with yellow leaves.  Every trip is different.

Should be elite.

The generators=engines that generates electricity to run the motors on the azipods. The azipods are not the “engine”. The likely culprit is the engine fire two weeks ago. Code Bravo Code Bravo Code Bravo. 
 

The ship has two 14,400 kW Wartsila generators, two 19,200 kW Wartsila generators, and two 2,500 kW Catiolillar emergency generators. You run the generators based on demand for propulsion and the hotel. 

I was on the Code Bravo cruise.  When they announced Code Bravo, it was followed by a "THIS IS NOT A DRILL"

Been cruising since 1989 and never gave a thought about the color of anything in the cabin.

I was also concerned before we booked our first CLS because DW has significant knee problems, and has difficulty with almost anything that requires her knees to do any lifting (we are putting a lift in our home so she doesn't have to use the stairway to get up to our bedroom), but she has no problems with the stairs in a CLS. The way the stairs were designed puts virtually no pressure on her knees. The CLS staircase has very wide treads and very short rise between stairs.

On Wonder, the elevator goes to deck 18.  You can enter the CLS on deck 17 and on deck 18 and not have to use the stairs.

Had my TA change two double point cruises this month.  Had to keep the new cruises in 2022 to keep the double points.

So we are diamond.  We are taking our grandson with us on a cruise.  Will he be diamond also then?

The grandson will be the same status as the parents.

Not sure.  On my last cruise with my daughter who was 20 sll tje benefitsxwrre listed on her letter but we tried to get the photo and it wasn't loaded on her card.  Not sure if she got the wrong letter or if the coupons weren't properly loaded.

Two weeks ago, we were not allowed to get a picture of our grandson on his card.  We were told that he has to be 21.

I recall in the past kids were not entitled to Diamond or D+ perks, but recent threads make it sound like kids are now able to get these perks. My D+ teens would love free Cokes and internet days. Are these benefits extended to them?

The LA has a special benefit sheet showing the under 18 benefits.  I am currently on the Quantum, and I will get a copy and post it to this thread.  They will get drink vouchers for non-alcoholic drinks.
