  1. I know we discussed this before and not sure 2 is common or not. Allure last dec allowed Ps 1 dinner and 1 lunch. 2 may or my not be common.
  2. Bella1 we couldnt book comedy from the app. We could get to to with the daily schedule thing online in the planner. I think a lot of people dont see it to book in the app and assume you cant pre book. We were on oasis.
  3. You can have my printed compass. I keep telling them I dont want them. They ignore it and keep leaving them almost every cruise. I think it's a age thing. Like they have a standing order to give them to everyone over age 65. I'd vote yes to bringing back the salad in thru Mdr.
  4. I know most if not all who bought bought for the obc. Stocks are my thing, I've done stocks for 50 years. My posts when I called a sell were based on the charts. It was just for those who might be interested in making a little extra money. It is rare that you see a chart saying sell sell sell like it did last week hitting its highs. Today broke support and went lower. I dont know how it will act when earnings come out on the 27th. Ccl sold off when their debt was emphasized .. I'm just watching it trade and the charts. Most people seem unable to think of rcl without emotion. ..just as another stock. Me I'll be watching to buy back and another entry. My posts are just about the charts. I'm for making extra money. I actually rarely buy and sell, but sometimes it's just so obvious. Of course I'm watching all my portfolio, but rcl was sticking out last week, hard not to post what I was seeing and hoping a few might benefit besides me. Stocks are how I support myself. It's not even a major position for me. Just was suddenly of interest chart wise.
  5. I booked oasis back when it was new, I'll bet 10 years ago and even then oasis class you booked shows before you boarded. This isnt new if you cruised since oasis came out. They will have more slots and I've done the stand by line to see a show a 2nd time and always get in. Lots of people with reservations will be no shows. Dont worry if you did not know to reserve ahead. You can get in easily ... but it's not a new thing. Sorry you seem so upset. PS you say the app doesnt show the aqua show. Try signing into your account online. We had to get to the comedy booking thru the online planner. Try online.
  6. Even if not officially support round numbers like 100 can be important support levels. I saw it go down to 100.10 this morning and bounced up, but this afternoon it couldnt hold. Broke below 100 so it's now going to be searching for new support levels. Where it closes will be important
  7. Check the prices for balconys and change before prices go up again? Rcl allows you to downgrade. I'm assuming you are before final payment.
  8. Some pop up when I do a mock booking but not compatible with my bookings. I think it's my dp30 or balcony .. my TA says not compatible.
  9. Actually on promenade cabins the connecting are almost always cheaper than non connecting. I've upgraded and paid extra for non connecting. If you look at the deck plans you will see there are a lot more connecting than non connecting... just for promenade cabins specifically. Balconys are a different story. I've been in connecting at least twice just because they were cheaper.
  10. Anything except the Starbucks kiosk. Up to $14.
  11. This close chances of getting another connecting cabin slim let alone the ben and Jerry's cabin lol. If the door between the cabins is locked I'm sure you know you can ask the steward to unlock the door. Enjoy. Sounds like a great assignment. I love pr cabins.
  12. I get 2 free days of wifi on rcl or I wouldn't have experienced wifi on every ship of theirs. I've noticed a big difference in wifi depending on age. Grandeur i couldnt hardly attach a picture i took to a email and send it. On the newer ships works like a whiz. Someone on radiance OTS said he works in tech and cabin doors are metal. If your signal doesnt work from the cabin, it helps to open your cabin door a bit as the signal has trouble thru metal doors. Now wonder which i think also has places to charge your devices I saw also had something in each cabin where this isnt necessary, works like a router? I'm non tech. Now I read you can stream wireless on wonder. I completely agree newer ships have better options. Food and shows. .. and wifi.
  13. Lol there are utube videos of rcl fights too, just not as many. But there have been fights caught on camera. Dont kid yourself.
  14. He posted this on rcl boards and that's what I said what are the prices. I'd pick by price. I did radiance OTS end of march to Panama. It is a beautiful class of ships with glass elevators and 3 or 4 decks of glass above the main area. Best food in a long time and best ever service. Maybe our Mdr table was close to the kitchen. Food was piping hot and fish and chips the fish was crisp. Steak cooked perfect. Cheers with a officer, the fillet was so good. The man next to me said best he ever had on rcl. I think best I ever had. A pinch undercooked but the taste and herbs perfect. Dining room supervisor came out 3 or 4 times with cooks introducing them and saying what they had cooked of our dinner, never saw that before. Why I thought maybe we sat near kitchen. Loved my steward. It is a beautiful graceful ship. Radiance class is a favorite because of all the glass. I'd gotten off oasis a week or two before I boarded radiance and was continually surprised how close elevators were. It's a smaller shop for sure. I would still want to know the price to pick.
  15. One obvious difference is oasis class has actual musicals they pay royalties to perform. I assume only the big ships have large enough audiences to make it worth paying royalties. I went to a behind the scenes tour where they said they pay royalties to do actual musicals. Not just excerpts of music as most ships do.
  16. On oasis I didnt have lounge chairs, just empty space lol but I think I have some pictures also looking across where you can more clearly see which balconys are double wide. It's a further walk to both elevators right in the middle.
  17. And the funny part is the 8 days on harmony to coco cay out of Galveston I knew would go crazy and they have. From Galveston coco cay is such a rare port the price is bonkers. From florida to coco cay nothing special. So departure port matters.
  18. The points show of the person with the highest points. If you have the highest points in your household they show but are not the actual points. They share your status until they turn 18 then are on their own. So just because your points show doesnt mean everyone's pts are the same. As you say you know they didnt cruise once when you did. Its confusing how royal shows the points but each person has their real points if you call in and ask, not yours.
  19. I did grand Cayman again last sept and dont see the attraction. Rcl for sure the tender was a mess. I had a rcl excursion and usually we meet onboard, but for grand Cayman it's a open tent at the port. Like this excursion meet at green tent. No ac to wait. I was directed 3 times to the opposite end of the ship to get off. .. rcl doesnt do grand Cayman well. It's at the bottom of my list.
  20. I would prefer oasis but see it misses bonaire. I have the same issue with my next jan cruise, misses bonaire. I recently signed up for adventure the southern one april 2025. So I will finally see bonaire. Oddly enough it's less than dec 2024 eastern on group rates .. better deal but I booked both. Booking direct the southern is higher. I booked radiance twice earlier this year that did colon, columbia etc 10 days and actually loved it, though I only went the 2nd time, missed the first one. I'm up for some more unusual ports. If price per day is close I'd pick by ports you have not been to. Me I booked 4 a month ago including the 3 on adventure. 11 days more ports.
  21. I doubt there is a ship left with a cigar lounge. I did liberty and cigar smokers were relegated to one side of the pool. I know you can smoke deck 4 and casino but I think cigars only by the pool.
  22. I'd go by the price. I did radiance just this last march and yes its older but had the best ever service. That class is known for its glass and glass elevators. Imo none of the carnival ships stand out ship wise, legend has some extended aft balconies. Carnival imo has better pizza, burgers and mexican. Rcl has better buffet and Mdr meals. Both will have similar trivia. There is a new thread today comparing 2 older ships carnival and rcl. Long term rcl has better loyalty perks and I'm a bit sorry I did so much carnival when I could now be pinnacle on rcl. Free wifi, 6 daily drinks, discounts on bookings etc carnival doesnt give. Depends a bit on if you think you will keep cruising ..and the price. Right now with perks rcl gives me better prices. Carnival has a higher energy level, some love. Different vibe. Without price details I cant pick.
