  1. Ala carte never does reservations. Playmakers either. Just show up and ask to order ala carte. Idk for sure all ships offer ala carte as I've only done the sit down dinner.
  2. I was thinking it's so darn hot a spray of water might feel welcome. Way too hot today and humid. Happy anniversary and enjoy the grandkids.
  3. And just because it's not mentioned doesnt mean its included. I had trouble on harmony with both izumi sushi side which was fine on allure and wonderland. Neither is excluded. And neither were allowed.
  4. Have you looked in your planner? Lunch at boarding might be in chops but not another. Look at lunches and dinner to see which days they are available. Lunches of course only open sea days but not all open at boarding from my experience. Your planner will show what's open for lunch.
  5. I doubt it, but dont have the latest update on what's not allowed. Even if you booked unlimited there is still a hefty extra surcharge to book it. I would book direct as it has been filling up. If its booked solid then it's a no anyway.
  6. The sun will be fully up in the next 15 minutes. I'm near you and no rain here on the coast yesterday. It's usually also about 10 degrees hotter inland orlando where we get news from. Watching the sun come up. Good sailing.
  7. I just booked to Bermuda today. Havent been watching but saw it when I was checking another booking and royal isnt doing any more Bermuda out of florida after sept or I wouldnt have booked. Only insides and OVs left. I booked a ov so if price drops only a more expensive ov I can upgrade to. Balconys and suites sold out. I was thinking about what if the price drops, safer to book a inside so I have room to upgrade. Got 12:30 arrival, boo hiss. I'm 43 days out, missed the 45 day check in by 2 days.
  8. BKNG beat top and bottom but the forecast for next qtr not as rosy as hoped.
  9. Bookings beat top and bottom line, (travel). As long as travel is beating top and bottom and growing too soon to panic. I hadnt heard it was specifically unemployment numbers though those were up. Just people are back to worrying about recession. Is the fed acting too late in sept. The one I wanted to buy more of later this month UPS held it's own most of the day. People retreated to the safety of a 5% dividend. Waiting on some treasuries to come due. Treasuries yield dropped today as people were buying safety. No matter which reason today was ugly. Good day to book a cruise.
  10. Upgraded toiletries are at 340 pts. Good if I'm flying so I dont have to bring liquids. Tubes are shampoo conditioner and lotion, also used to be body wash but only got 3 last time, not 4.
  11. Well that's easy. I always have left over vouchers. I've tried to go buy extra for my steward and usually not worth the hassle. They dont like saying what they want. I'd buy you more than one, free is a good price, just a tip.
  12. Oh ... yep. I am. Ooops. No wonder the balcony prices so different.my bad. Apologize
  13. I'm already booked. Just curiosity as we were laughing about some 17k price showing a week ago as the cheapest. Why are you assuming someone is complaining or wanting it free. You just arent aware of what mock booking showed recently and didnt understand and jumped to conclusions people wanted free. Never good to assume. Another time the cheapest balcony showed as over 20k. This is great. I posted if you want a balcony to jump on it. They been scarce. Just the opposite of you thinking people wanted free. It's a good price compared to recent.
  14. Wow balconys available again. There werent any a week ago. If you want one dont wait. I'd bet not many available.
  15. The shower has body wash, I've used in place of soap for washing something out. I get the tubes now they provide for 340 pts. I dont use the body wash stuff in the shower but I used to use the bar soap. I have used bar soap at home and dont mind it. Shaving or whatever. But I also bring apricot scrub and my own stuff too.
  16. Might be a meat carver or someone making something but it's basically self serve.
  17. I think to sum up the previous post ... do a mock booking and see how much it costs for 2 people vs what you paid when you booked. If the price has gone up higher than what you booked at, you probably do not want to cancel the 3rd pax and refare the other 2. No one can tell you right now but there is a good chance it is cheaper to have a no show, and if 3rd pax no shows, their fees and taxes are auto refunded. It's not a simple question.
  18. I wouldnt have anything but a phone and tablet. And my tracfone only will work with wifi not to make calls. So I doubt I'll use it much. I'm used to my tablet. So just one thing. Crossing my fingers. I bought what was in the link.
  19. Local (orlando) news last night showed a segment 3 times. A family of 60 got off a cruise and 20 tested positive. They are saying port Canaveral but then the last segment they said the family got off allure which doesnt port here. They even showed a picture of PC sign. Confused ..but said florida is 1 of 7 states with high rates. If I have it for the last 5 days and didnt sail for over a week, if I felt ok, agree with above should be able to sail by then.
  20. Ok I got this one. I admit I tried to search myself and what I found says is not a power converter. Still confused. So I bought the one in your link. Just to be safe. https://www.amazon.com/European-Adapter-International-Charging-Essentials/dp/B0B3LZ5896/ref=sr_1_5?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.esYcEXiY1dnMd0yIRmDAgNJhcjTTenOmua5nLLKaOwkPrkBYAHPyY2NITaN26_zfh3W36ZTWssMxvDQn65z9MoaZ63YXHd1wrD8WgTLeVRQViLzdP5MSlbf37faSP_SLfq3_llnaB4QMpSOI0HfqSCCEDJN1jxgB1ikT17i67uUYX_0GBlDt4eDd1m1ViIgsKAH_BdG3NCobQNO9QsD5m6gqXOo62zxJBYOVCjZcRfWEl4_K43lKuny1hI3AOuaeo55OpmDKRSlxllWKu7OMPZ1SkyDC4FTxmoWeE4WIaME.rakXsHqZE9nV46G60HAMbav9yJZRYQPz4jdwDN9ca4o&dib_tag=se&keywords=european%2Bpower%2Badapter&qid=1722452985&sr=8-5&th=1 These dont convert power to says?
  21. Yes ships time. Gotta figure out where your ship leaves from what time is midnight.
  22. Then get the connecting cabins and bring a cheap box of sea sick meds just in case someone reacts to the motion. Also meds are free if you go to the medical forward deck 1. They are in a thing hung on the door to grab. Often also you can ask and they can remove the balcony divider so people can walk back and forth. Not sure if those are balcony cabins. It is true a large ship has less motion but you never know. We worried my sisters first cruise but she was fine.
