  1. I too have a Samsung tablet and the app hasnt been compatible for quite some time. I asked and they said it was my tablet not up to the task. Baloney. Worked fine, they quit supporting tablets like ours. Its royal IT. I have to access from my phone though I do wifi on my tablet.
  2. Final payment on 7 day cruises as a for instance are 90 days before the cruise leaves. A cruise next month will not be refundable. Sorry. I agree cruiselines have awful rules, but except for insurance coverage, you cant buy a refundable rate cruise for next month. There is a sliding scale where depending on the date you might not lose all you paid. Depends on the length of your cruise. But a cruise sept 2024, just plan on it being nonrefundable. Dont book if you arent sure you want to go. Not sure what happened to you march 2020. If the cruise was cancelled you should have gotten a refund or a offer for a future cruise. Maybe a choice. I didnt lose any money and you shouldnt have either. Standard cancellation terms apply to sept 2024. Dont book if you arent sure.
  3. You will have a assigned dining even if you were not asked. Either anytime or fixed early or late. I would go to the Mdr at least on lobster night. I read the menu and go to the buffet the nights I dont like. Like italian night, I know I dont like Italian so I go to the WJ that night. Breakfast and lunch on sea days is also offered in the main dining room. Or if you use rhenbuffet imgomtomthe egg line to get my eggs cooked over hard. I dont like runnynegfs. There will be a couple of lines in the jammer for eggs or order omelettes. Unless you are om with the ones set out, which I rarely am. Look on your card when you board and it will have where you are assigned for dinner. Though you dont have to go there. But I dont miss lobster night. I love lobster.
  4. For those of you feeling like you are no longer royals target pax, its probably true. They are trying to attract newbies to cruises who spend more $$$.
  5. I've done royal and even gotten checked in without viewing the little 2 movies on the app. Sometimes when you view the morning from your hotel room it doesnt show as completed and they know their IT glitches and if you say you saw it, will just check you in. .. though yes says mandatory. Sometimes not. Celebrity and royal same same. Still have to show up to your muster station.
  6. Go to shows you reserved 30 to 45 minutes early and get in line. Seating is open even with reservations. If you want the first row in the theater gr there early etc. I go early to aqua show to get a cushioned seat. Those hard bleacher type seats hurt my butt. I cant sit a whole show on them.
  7. Just a note so the OP knows, not free. $$$
  8. I'm confused by what you say ... the reviews on the website dont give much information. What reviews. Royal excursions dont give reviews. It's kind of pot luck what you might get. There is a number maybe for excursions to help book them but I agree calling is a waste of time. If you can see booking privately the time looks tight I agree I wouldnt chance it. A cruise isnt the right time to take a chance on missing the ship. Maybe google the excursion name from royal. I did on one I had a question about a a review came up on trip advisor from celebrity so it's possible to find one with Google. Dont call, I doubt they have first hand knowledge of a nassau excursion. It is kind of pot luck.
  9. And the DP340 doesnt kick in right away. I turned previous sep before last. Cant apply to dec, after final payment ... no cant be applied to January because group rates had already been recalled... we can use it for the next April cruise, yea! It can be applied to already booked. .. just not right away. It was wait wait wait for the pts to post, then wait to apply it.
  10. No offense but who cares, things have moved on. There are stock boards for whatever YOU like which isnt here. I cruise royal and watch it. Its light float and moves a lot more than big name stocks. I watch it trade and "both my palms start to itch" (gotta pick a pocket or two) to steal a line from a musical. It's hard not to trade and make a few bucks and pay for a treat. The past is the past. Charts are what is NOW. Time for you to get over your grudges.
  11. Local news is watching and guessing and doesnt know yet. Could get wet, could have a hurricane. Too early to tell. Cant draw spaghetti lines unless it becomes a hurricane. Just guess.
  12. I agree dont say private financials. I use yahoo because its public. I have more than one financial account where I could see charts and analysis but post a public version. I just wanted those who say I'm too rich to care where I buy, I tell my guy when to buy, what difference does it make long term. I just had this conversation with a cousin who thinks my bottom fishing is stupid. Called 152 support this morning, during the dip this afternoon told people not to worry it was retesting support and after showed the very pretty bounce. Short term charts work. If there was a world event of course bets are off. Charts show you what's happening now. Computers are watching the charts, if you arent you are leaving money on the table. Off my soap box now. Just showing those who say I called my guy and said buy, dont care at what price, makes no difference long term how computers see it.
  13. The one pictured does not have surge protection. As I posted it was a simple extension clrd NOT a surge protection cord. The one they took was NOT a surge protector. It's the exact same kind as in the picture. Those are not surge protectors. I had it plugged into a electric lighted clock I liked on my dresser with a short cord. They unplugged from my clock.
  14. That sounds crazy to me to cancel because of possible weather. I live here. I was here yesterday when wonder was parked and could see lighting cracks and hear thunder all around the ship. It happens here all the time. I would go and cross my fingers or I'd never cruise.
  15. 2nd retest, look at that bounce off the 152 level. Tested successfully last week too. Even for non chartists they can see this. Classic.
  16. Well you saw just posts in this thread 3 of us on radiance Panama transit. Last I checked there was a connecting balcony for over $17,000 ... did someone book it? Lol Now all balconys and suites are sold out... oct 2025. More than a year away, only insides and ovs left. That's why I'm thinking it's a no. .. though my TA isnt sold out. The panama sure is for my category. Nope not even for 17k, cant book a balcony.
  17. Seemed good to me for anytime. I now push a button when I want to eat and it assigns a table lickety split. Way better than royal does it. A good thing. Bacon is every other morning in the buffet. If you have time which you may not in the Mediterranean the Mdr has bacon when it's on bacon vacation in the buffet, not a good thing in my book, I like bacon and not having to remember if I had it the day before.
  18. That was my guess though last time I looked my balcony category was sold out. I asked anyway, cant hurt to ask i thought. I'm booked on the same cruise as you and balconys went so fast. Either priced too cheap or everyone including me wanted a Panama transit and a balcony to watch from.
  19. I've always checked in. Time doesnt matter but so they have a head count and the paperwork cleared for my 2nd leg.
  20. Lol it seems to be retesting support. Dropped a few cents below 152, but only quick and back over. So far holding support. I obviously liked ups better at 125 than rcl... bought more. Rcl just fun to trade such low float. It bounces around so much.
  21. My phone and tablet chargers plugged into the end of a extension cord is all I've ever done. Minus the extension cord onboard a ship. I do see they come apart.
  22. As I said above I've never used a usb to charge. I guess you remove the plug in part of the charge cord? This TA is really pushing me! .. I'm guessing from looking at your picture.
  23. I got 2 of those. Wonder if it changes my prices. From what I hear the Panama transit the regular balconies are sold out. I'll ask but not holding my breath. But good news.
  24. Ok I'll look for one that looks like that. Royal allows simple plug in things. I have a Samsung tablet and phone. Nothing unusual I will need to charge. Otherwise I cant take pictures. I'll save a screen shot of that one.
