Gratuities [eeeek]

Don't be angry at her, she just tipped the "standard" 25% 🤪 -
Gratuities [eeeek]
LittleJoefromKokomo replied to zimmerman's topic in Royal Caribbean International
This actually happened two weeks ago on my Anthem UK cruise. I was waiting in line and there was one American (or Canadian couple, hard for an European like me to tell the difference) before me and they got upset that the person in front of them removed their tips. "Did you hear that!? She removed her auto gratuities!" The woman said to her partner. I actually also heard it since she was only a few steps away from us all in the line. Highly anecdotial but it still happened. Not that it matter though. Each to his own. -
Two weeks on the Allure...
LittleJoefromKokomo replied to birdofsong's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Congrats on getting two cruises on the same offer 😀 Me and my wife also got covid the last days on our 27th of August Anthem cruise.. as a matter of fact we are both at home sick now 😞 Third time for both of us and I had my 5th shot of the vaccine just 3 weeks before the cruise. As in your case, what was very strange was that my wife tested negative on the ship AND after at home while I testetd positive immediately at home (didn't do the test onboard since I was fine until the last evening when I felt my sore throat) Regardning the covid self tests, I belive that if they are a year old or more they don't detect the new covid viral viruses. My wife used an old test at home we had left from a year ago but I had my daughter go out an buy a new one for me and it was of a different brand also and it was positive immedeately. I can 't even imagine how many people that were ill on the ship that probably doesn't even bother testing anymore. -
You can't make these things up!!

Exactly, I usually take the time to floss my teeth at the Black Jack tables in the casino. "Do you pay for my cruise? it's very important to floss" is what I use to say when someone object.... 😉🤪 -
Very inconsiderate, I would atleast leave the closed mussels for someone else 😉

Same here, I remember everyone talking about how good it was and made a note to myself to try it the first day, then I told my wife this and we went to Windjammer on Majesty 13 years ago and tried it and, it was like, what?? Do people consider this good...?

Being by ourselves when working on distance is usually good (depending on what kind of remote work he does of course), no disturbance and many of us have daily contact several times with collegues by video or calls so there I see no loneliness. When he leave his room or workspace when work is done I guess it is a little easier to socialize and talk to people that are on vacation on a cruise ship than talking to random strangers at a Cafe..

Not everyone considers eating healthy food, not drinking on weekdays, having a calm workspace where you won't be disturbed and can be productive a bad thing.. 😎 I get what you mean but you look at his cruising from a vacation perspective (as do I) but if he doesn't have any partner or children a work from home life can be pretty lonely and boring. I work 80-90% from home and even if I have both wife and 2 children I sometimes feel like I get restless not seing anything else than my house for two weeks. If I was single without anyone I could definately see his point. Beats being alone at home.

I have also used both methods, one got approved and the other one got rejected, for the same cruise. Reason for the rejection was that my surname on file with Royal didn't match the name on my paper from my bank. Same name, but a a letter in the Swedish alphabet that is in my surname (Ã¥), doesn't match with the English alphabet. The Swedish letter "Ã¥" Royal translates it to an "a", (Ã¥=a) and therefore they said thait my surname didn't match the one on my bank statement. However a day later I got an emai saying that my OBC was approved, still don't know if the email or the subimitt form was the one that was rejected/approved

Adults and Waterslides
LittleJoefromKokomo replied to jeffr6596's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Hey Hey Hey! Just to be clear, I never said that someone in their 80s shouldn't ride waterslides, just that people MIGHT look at them if they did, but with admiration in their eyes 🙂 -
I second this. South beach is the best bar on the island IMHO, floating bar and everything that is needed close by.

Adults and Waterslides
LittleJoefromKokomo replied to jeffr6596's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I am 50 and did the waterslides last year for the first time in 5 years (got a concussion when hitting my head, while doing it drunk when I was 45 😂) Not my favourite thing to to but no one will bat an eye if you do it. Maybe if you were in your 80s but not mid 50s for sure. -
