  1. I was noting the "powerstay technology" of the kids banana. Good and bad it doesnt easily wash off? Enjoy the sun today.
  2. Have you tried a big bar of white soap in the bed. I know it sounds silly but my dad and others swear by it. Quiets restless leg. Gotta refresh them after a while. I used to buy him bars of white soap to sleep with and they do seem to work. A old wives tale I admit but seems some basis. I had it a couple of weeks and tried soap and it quit. He tried potassium and ate bananas ..but soap worked best. His doctor said it was from lack of potassium is why bananas. Sorry to hear you cant sleep. The article says iron who knows... but he swore it worked for him. I'm assuming you have heard of it since it's a common story. https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/living/soap-home-remedy
  3. So far you have had good luck getting to the ship and it continues. Good luck breeds good luck. This might turn out to be a free cruise the way you are going. So how do you win sweat shirts? I havent seen that before. Texas is lucky for you so far.
  4. Call whomever you booked with. If you want to prepay that's the only way. If it says you did not prepay then you need proof you did and since you dont know, I'd call and sort it out. You cant prepay except by calling. Cant do it yourself online.
  5. That's just the CK menu. I want the pork belly appetizer. I'd take that in the Mdr too.
  6. I've never heard you need vroom to book restaurants once you board. Did you go immediately to a restaurant like izumi or a dining pedestal and immediately book restaurants in person? Wifi not needed. Book restaurants as soon as you board ... not get on wifi and fool around with it. Wifi 2nd, restaurants 1st. ..in person onboard.
  7. I dont understand people passing up easy free money. Surely if they can afford to cruise it is worth it to buy 100 shares on a pull back in price.
  8. It was $100 last black friday .. that's double. I'd be a no. I'd do free at that price.
  9. I've enjoyed the $100 obc for over a dozen cruises since covid... and $50 obc on b4b on grandeur. About covers my tips. Keeps me from being such a complainer as others here about the increases and cuts .. I know as a solo I dont have to pay the increase in tips. Add in $50 or even $100 from TA .. pays for a excursion or 2 or a specialty meal and my tips. I'm not so broke that I cant afford to sit on 100 shares of rcl. Letting it ride.
  10. Sounds a bit muddled but basically what it has been. Children share their parents status until they turn 18. So if both are diamond, child is 17, turns 18, if they did t earn diamond on their own, then they stay diamond but their own earned pts are tracked. Their status doesnt change until they earn it once they turn 18, .. no more status match to parents. Not sure what you overheard that you think is different tbh.
  11. Possibly but my cell phone didnt work well from the new terminal. Idk why. The sorry you didnt win should come before you leave port but often after I board. I dont get the email until I turn on wifi later in the cruise for my free days of wifi. I figure if I won, I'd know when I got to my cabin, if not before.
  12. Did you prepay the tips? Since maybe last dec even a regular cabin is $16 a day, suites are more. You locked in tips when you booked last nov? Seems like mine went up by last December. That's not much to upgrade. I hope you love allure and mama mia. It's the best show I've ever seen on a ship, though 2.5 hours. Some see half and leave at half time intermission and come back another show to see the rest. I hope the leads are still the same. Excellent voices. It's too bad you couldnt see Galveston and stay on the beach.
  13. I've read some were turned away. As someone said your mileage may vary if they are full.
  14. The reserved seats in the theater were released 15 minutes before the show. The reserved signs removed. .. dont be late.
  15. Yes you get a email but sometimes it's not sent until after you board. Lol. Not much help by then if I dont have wifi.
  16. My time dining has late times only. Starts like 6:45 pm. If you already changed to transitional, you cant choose a my time dining time. Maybe that's why its not open for you next month. You cant do both.
  17. See you were lucky again. A free suite and early check in and free breakfast. I'd say your luck seems to be running. Let's hope it stays onto the ship. The houston airports are not the safest areas, so I prefer Galveston but makes sense to stay there and rest. Enjoy your day.
  18. The drinks are anywhere, any time. I get poweraide or vitamin water in the spa. Not plain water. As orville above said there is water in your cabin when you arrive. I now get 3. When he says 2 or 4. I think he is assuming you are a couple. I am D+ and was getting 2 water, 1 coke. Now I get 3 water. Solo. It seems to vary a bit.
  19. Yes there is a suite lounge and concierge with a happy hour. On this class you will have a separate area in chops or set off to eat breakfast, but not other meals. No there isnt free water except during happy hour. Oasis class has it during the day, not this class. Yes there will be a diamond lounge. Suite and diamond lounge will both have a specialty coffee maker and some continental breakfast. A container of OJ and water, but not bottles you can take. If you are diamond you get 4 free drinks and can pick water.
  20. Really early flight. I usually try to arrive mid afternoon so I can check into my hotel. Now where are you going? 8:50 am texas time. You have all day and not going to Galveston to walk on the ocean.
  21. I was enjoying your food tour. Please come back and let go of other people's childisness. It's not a competition and your viewpoint was important too. Been here done that, and just let it go.
  22. You need to talk to them. If they have a assigned time, seats are saved for them in Mdr. I've done anytime I think 3 times since restart. What I did was push a button and it assigned a table and then I showed it to the waiters at the entrance who took me to the table. The computer matching was so fast I waited until I was in the lobby outside the Mdr.
  23. Maybe I'm wrong though I've brought a guest. I thought it was for me and a guest staying in my cabin. Just the party, not the lounge.
  24. My invitation to parties like the tier even says I can bring a guest.
  25. Well you scored 2 free drinks and I think last time on bella1 you scored 4 free drinks. Your luck continues. They never have comped me free drinks.
