ya , and with 3500 prisoners on the run , Noone would ever stray 130 miles ? Cheers

Entertainment was as expected . Saturday Night Fever was good , Only watched the family friendly version of the comedian , which was OK. He did have a gentleman in front of me LITERALLY sweating bullets , which I had never witnessed before . It was like watching something from a cartoon , so that was something . The Juggler was amaziing , but I could have done without the LOOONG video he played down memory lane CHeers , hope you have a great cruise

We were showing up 10-15 minutes before showtime and sitting 4th row isle . There were however more kids on this sailing than i have ever seen , so maybe more families were not attending...??

What Did he do ? Guard the door Doorman?

just reyurned from B2B ... surprised how empty venues were 15 mins pre show . Cheers

I made the mistake a few years back of telling my family how much I am worth Dead ! Now I tell them it's all gonna be left to the dog ... but I still sleep with 1 eye open

It's not drydock you should be worried about , It's the scrapyard to turn you in for the newer model ! Cheers

I think you completely missed the context you replied to . If you booked 6:45 because that time works for you , to get on board to find out it had been changed to 6:00 or 6:15 you may feel otherwise. Cheers

That is the false narrative that you are creating from the OP's Valid concerns about unruly/unsupervised children . Children in general do not bother me on cruises , however when I watch the pathetic actions of parents who think they can just get drunk and let their children go wild , I find it bothersomefor many reasons . Again ...Valid Cheers

I am ALWAYS fashionably late since they changed the early times to 5-5:15 as common starts. We just returned this week from a 5:15 advertised at booking . On night 1 they welcomed us over the PA and informed us that they would be accomodating us with the dining room opening at 5PM nightly . We arrived at 5:30 each night Cheers

Because they would rather disappoint people after they board instead of when they are making their vacation decisions JMHO

Most all ships now have that !

Sooooo , This is 1 area where I think the geniouses at the helm need some help . How about with 3 dining rooms , have 3 separate dining schedules ...?? Deck 3 : Early 5 P.M , Mid 6:45 , Late 8:30 ....More relaxed , Traditional Deck 4 : Early 5 P.M. ,2nd 6:15 , 3rd 7:30, Late 8:45 -- 2 and 4 tops only to allow for shorter dining times Deck 5 : True MTD ! So many possible variations to fix the current system which many believe is broken . Personally don't feel 3 times set at 5:00 , 6:45 , and 8:30 would fix most peoples complaint . Cheers

...Exactly my position 1 Thing to add is that it is not always 5:30 , but sometimes much worse at 5:00 Cheers

Was there twice last week . I'll share my thoughts . Most of the positive comments so far I would agree with . There are some Cons I would add however . Windy side of the island: . On the first stop , the wind which was by no means extreme was blowing hard enough that the infinity edge could not be enjoyed at all . anywhere within 10 feet of the edge had water constantly whipping up into your face . Food: . Though some have stated a few new options ( coco shrimp , A very good chicken sandwich, pizza ) , the lack of a buffet for those that may want some chicken , ribs , self made salad etc. certainly limited options. DJ: also of note was the DJ that was always available (and a big draw) at the Oasis pool has been removed forcing anyone who wants that to book a $$ venue to enjoy it . This to me makes hideaway not just an upsell as it should be , but at the same time taking away what once was a free service feels like another typical money grab . It was a 50/50 for us based on our 2 days . 2nd day was beautiful . First day due to the breeze , made it much less enjoyable. Took a walk to south beach that day , and you wouldn't have known it was breezy at all .

Exactly ! So many people on here seem to grasp onto 1 point (usually the wrong one ) And think there are never any valid concerns that may trump that point . Kids behaving properly or improperly is not the main issue . Parents behaving as poor parents with no regard for other cruisers IS the main issue here . We fully understand the whole (kids will be kids) when vacationing , and sometimes that means they may be a little more rambunctious than we may like. That's understandable. If all these cheerleaders really believe that watching a 10 year old Diving into a hot tub over and over while parents watch and laugh , is just something that should be expected because it's a "family" cruiseline , I can only imagine what kind of parents they themselves must be . There are SO MANY other examples of unacceptable , ( and dangerous ) , behavior from children , and adults , and the cheerleaders think you NEVER have a right to comment or complain . Ridiculous Cheers

2 words to get you started ..Airport Lounge ! Cheers

I believe you solved your own mystery

.But wait.... there's more

I usually try to book it first thing in the week so when it gets cancelled they try to reschedule later on . However if I was out of NJ , I would probably go with the second available option in hopes to start that clock in a bit calmer waters . No guarantees of course but Odds are definitely in your favour further south GL Cheers P.S. One time we were cancelled 3 times and never got it in at all. That sucked

You can turn your towels in on the island

Some relief maybe , but from what I read from others that is also going to be a challenge getting times you want at specialty this late in the game . FWIW , also agree with FIREFLY That MTD is a disaster on royal . That's also my 2 cents , you're almost up to a nickel Cheers GL

Busy with who ? were you not the first ones back on board ?

During check in one of the questions ( As a Canadian) is for an address of where you will be staying if you are going to be in the US longer than 8 hours after you depart the ship ... What is the correct answer when you are going back for the following sailing ? Thx

Lmao !! ... guess what 3% of 1350 is ? Cheers
