There are usually free slots on port days. Same with ifly. Def not worth it in my opinion if you are paying.

Yup you got it. You can try turning on airplane mode and just connecting to your Wi-Fi at home. If you have Wi-Fi calling enabled, you should be able to make calls and text like normal. If it doesn't work, look for Wi-Fi calling in your phone settings and make sure it's enabled. You'll have to set your 911 address if you haven't done so. On cruise you are doing the same thing using voom.

Lol I was going to make the same comment!

Voom is a suite perk only on quantum and Oasis class ships. People always seem to ask when they are not on that class of ship so def check.

When you have 25 mil... Long as you aren't blowing it on multiple million dollar houses, or giving it all way you prob don't need to save costs by cruising carnival. While chances are high they would do private cruises on yachts instead, if they had family I can see them doing Star class on a royal for all the activities. They prob think it's a bargain lol. That's why I said "could be up to"... For all we know there's a bunch that love royal and book up all the star cabins all the time. We have millions of people in the US so plenty of people making that $.

Curious so did some googling... Looks like net worth for top 0.1% in US was about 25 million... ( 1 in 1000) Also top 1% makes about ~700k a year so on (10 in 1000) Given a ship has roughly 5000 people there could be up to 50 people 1% and 5 people in top 0.1%, so very possible people just have that sort of $. We have many people in the US making a ton of money lol.

Yeah I wasn't talking about your situation since you are getting a steal at 2500 a person... I would do that in a heartbeat for Star class! I was responding to the OP who was talking about 20k suite for 2 which is 10k each. Unless it was 20k pp which is even worse! And of course if you're making family memories and only cruising every couple years even 10k pp isn't bad. I was just saying yes relative to how much net worth you have... If you have 5 mil that's basically 200k of free money that your wealth is generating a year without you doing anything.

Newer model car... Depreciating asset. Choices you make. Don't get me wrong I do the same. I could spend the money on 20k suites but why when I can take a bunch solo in an interior or a Jr suite when my wife comes along for the double points. Why waste the money... Now if your net worth was over 5mil... Then it's an easier decision.

Yes if they are refundable on board credit which from a travel agent is usually refundable. On the ship you can check the type via app or TV billing area. It'll refund to your credit card on file after cruise.

Not saying who is right or wrong but this gave me a mental image of the subway staff with a clipboard pretending to write down the temp of the area where the veggies were stored for inspection... Lol If it's not automated and digital easy enough to write down what the values are early in the day when everything is good. Either way if you see kids bobbing for apples in the hottubs prob best to avoid.

This is turning into one of those email threads where they tell people not to reply all... Someone probably should close it. 😂

I think you just added it... Prob in the next revision of chat gpt.

Answer was still better than what I've seen from real people lol. I am a software engineer by trade so understand what it is.

Your view is glass half empty... When I read it, I was like yikes! That's like 90% there lol. If it had read go sign the waiver at the flowrider and pass your boogie and stand up test I would be ready to serve as a servant to the glorious AI.

Chlorine/bromine you knew what I meant. Pretty sure urine has to be fresh (and yours) to be "ok" to drink. And any urine in the tub is prob way passed due... 😉. Def agree on your statement on #2 cleanliness. When I do feel the need to use the hot tub (usually for muscles after flowrider or cold temps) I'll use the near by shower immediately after I get out and then shower back in the room when able. I use fancy air drying bidets at home so I know the differences between tp, wipes, bidet, and shower 😜
