Itchy&Scratchy

Not only is this thread totally unrelated to RC (so on the wrong board) it's also over 10 years old :eek:

so, nobody became diabetic in 10 years and those with diabetes cruising with RC can't possibly be interested in water shoes?

LOL ^_^

 

Diabetics can have some real problems with their feet (poor circulation in legs/feet and sometimes hands).

 

If they get a sore (from a blister from an ill fitting shoe) it can get very bad. Sometimes takes a long time to heal (sometimes doesn't heal :( )

 

So it's a real good idea to make sure that they have a good pair of shoes.

My dad is diabetic, his dad was a diabetic, and I am prediabetic.

My dad and I have regular water shoes from Walmart for $5.

Someone said the daughter should have went with a friend but maybe the daughter and her friends are under 21 so she had to go with an adult ie her mam as per RC US regulations.

Plus, you'd think a trial attorney would be able to afford a cruise. I am no trial attorney, and my earnings are nowhere near a typical lawyer's income, but I took my parents on a cruise last year in addition to my hubby and kiddo.

OP- Sorry you have met with such ridicule and rudeness on this thread. People seem to be so invested in the reputation of RCCL that it's akin to telling them their baby is ugly when you make any critical remark.

I am not invested in RCCL's reputation at all, but I think OP is the rude one. He got very personal several times.

Wasn't the Adventure recently refurbed this year?

2016, according to a TA website.

I'd guess that she wasn't happy that daughter chose RCL rather than 'her' line.

Boom, there it is!

The wife goes on an 17 year old ship. Expects it to be 100% rust free. LOL.

yes, you should definitely try Princess, but only Regal and Royal.

Since you didn't mention kids and fun activities you want to do with them, you will find the more adult, relaxed atmosphere of Princess quite agreeable.

If you are not limited to school breaks, try to do the ABC island itinerary.

Although she was Diamond class by virtue of her past cruises on Celebrity, my wife had to actually ask for basics like a shower cap and lotions and a robe.

The 40% deal is $250 more than when we booked our cruise with the 35% deal........lately is seems sale is just a 4 letter word;p

we must be looking at the same cruise, because that's exactly what I see.

I tried adding only one Classic soda package for our upcoming sailing (there are 3 of us in the cabin), and at that time the site allowed me to only put a checkmark by DH's name and proceed to checkout. I don't know if it's normal or not.

I didn't go through with the sale at that time, because the cruise is almost a year away.

My friend described carnival as a toddler sized toilet and she isnt even plus size and had a hard time in her shower. Got me nervous but good to know hes not going to bust the bathroom like the incredible hulk.

I don't know about Carnival, but I can attest that Princess and RCI's bathrooms aren't exactly toy sized.

We've sailed on Liberty, and my 6'1 180# did just fine. I did fine too, even though I am very much plus sized. It's actually more than plus size.

I mean - bending down in the shower to shave your legs would probably be uncomfortable, but doable. One can also do it in the sink if one is pressed for space. Most husbands will most likely not have this problem.

I would not take any kind of power strip or extension cord on a ship. They are incredibly picky (and I totally agree) because of the fire danger. Even Too many reports of supposedly allowed power strips/cords bring confiscated to make it worthwhile.

regular splitters are fine. Surge protectors are NOT fine. We brought one like this:

depends on the cruiseline. Some have restrictions on the ages.

If the current sale does not fit your needs just wait for another to come around. For us the sip and sail on long cruises works out well, we are sailing in Nov for 20 days with the drink package and 1 specialty dinner and our rate with the bev package is less that what they are currently selling that category for without the package.

by the time the deal I like comes around, the ship is sold out, the children in a particular age category are no longer accepted or the cruise is not included in the sale at all.

i checked out the sale today too. the cruise i am following had the time away sale on yesterday (up to 35% off). today with the sun drenched deals that same cruise (up to 40% off) is the exact same price.

same here. Actually, it's a little worse, as the price for a balcony went up by $200 in the last 2 weeks.

Thanks, just seems like it should be an easy clickable option when there to see invoice of some sort when under a particular reservation but I remember, this is rccl.

 

I agree. I just booked a cruise 2 weeks ago, and didn't receive an invoice and cannot see an invoice or any kind of detailed charges online either.

1) I would choose Regal or Royal Princess over Caribbean Princess

2) if you are not sailing with school aged children and don't work for a school system yourself, I would go during the time when the schools aren't on break (holidays and summer/spring breaks).

It's always cheaper to travel in the first 2 weeks of December than during the holidays. Prior to having a kid we always chose to go during the much cheaper non-holiday and non-school breaks times.

how old and tall is your child?

We got lucky! Our spring break is the first week of April and were able to take advantage of the promo!! [emoji119]

same here. Spring break, yeah!

Are you on the Allure?

Honestly it’s not even fair for those true support dogs-as the previous poster stated there really isn’t a true place for them to get proper exercise when they are off. How about an alternate vacation?

is it fair for these disabled folk to never cruise if their dog doesn't get to exercise for a week? Not every dog needs daily exercise.

It's super hot and humid here in the summer so I cannot go outside most days. Most of this summer neither of my dogs got daily walks - and they are fine with that. Last summer was just as bad, but I decided to suck it up and take the dogs for walks - I had to stop, because I almost fainted several times. My dogs are low energy and low maintenance and do not require daily walks. They are not lap or decorative dogs either.

People who have real support and service dogs have earned the right to have those dogs with them. They have real needs for those animals. I do not have that need or right. So my dog can not go.

hugs to you.

For what it's worth, since I've only cruised 7 times so far, I have NEVER seen a non-service dog on a cruise. On one of the cruises a guy in a wheelchair had his dog with him. On our last cruise there was a group of blind people with their seeing eye dogs.

September 17th Pacific Coastal is listed under the promotion page on Royal Caribbean's website, and the prices match up perfectly with what OP posted. My best guess is that since that cruise is currently part of the Going Going Gone sale, it might not be combinable with KSF, and the GGG rate is better than the regular price with KSF rate. That's just a guess though

I think you are right.

The site's been glitchy. KSF page even "included" a March 29 sailing, and somebody was very upset about it the other day, because March 29th is actually excluded from the KSF deal.

OP, you should call RCCL.

Holy crap (pun intended), I'm not reading thru that 1000 page thread to realize that many folks traveling with their "comfort" pouches are just gaming the system.

that is NOT what that post is about. It was created by a very nice person with an actual service dog in order to make lives of those who cruise and travel with a service dog easier in terms of planning.

I guess you didn't even read the 1st page, let alone 10 years worth of very useful posts.
