  1. If you are HC tell them that and HC boards with the key, pinnacles and full suites.
  2. I'll follow along out of curiosity. In Galveston on lower class ships it did have priority boarding but not on oasis class, so I'm confused too. Depended on class of ship or maybe was the port folks? I'd think whatever you boarding pass says, if it says priority I'd go to priority line.
  3. Lol worried and a lot of things, not sure excited lol. I wish I had the day and time for when they come to pack and the day the truck arrives to deliver. . Before I leave for san antonio then my cruise. Cant plan anything until I know when they deliver. Leaving notes to email me the packing date and time, do not call. I cant answer the phone when I'm cruising worries me. Bad time for a cruise. But its booked and paid for. The guy said it's possible he will have the schedule for me before I leave for my friends house next week.
  4. How many nights are these prices for? 4 nights? I made a list of hotels but like poster above waiting. I need late may 2025. .. getting close. I'm looking for 1 solo pax is why so many come up for me with one single twin bed, but I've found some larger ones. Several on your list. One even had some kind of balcony but it was solid wood, not a great view imo but oh well. Waiting to book, but impatient. I've searched for both spanish steps and Colosseum as some that are in the later area arent that far from from the steps area.
  5. And note these are suggested. I've seen shorts on so called formal night. Last I saw called dress your best. You can dress up and many do and for pictures. Up to you.
  6. Odd hours. Mostly I've seen hours in the morning and happy hour, never those hours. What ship had these hours from 11 to 1?
  7. I've only seen these on carnival dream class. Not even all carnival spas. Did radiance and didnt hear of any.
  8. I buy wifi "for the rest of the cruise" and wait for midnight when 1 days worth is subtracted and its repriced. About 3 or 4 nights before the end depending on price. I get 2 days free wifi and the discount pops up and I pay the different. Yes you can buy for 1 day, but also for the rest of the cruise. I've seen a few posts for a 10 drink card for $100 on wonder, not sure how often its offered onboard. The drink pkg usually not offered after day 2.
  9. We did the dive ship where the ship goes underwater but you can see. Some saw small turtles but missed me. They fed the fish once and we saw some coral. Curacao for me that excursion to see what was in the sea was a bust. Not really a submarine. Going back next April. I want to see the ostrich farm at curacao. Good reviews.
  10. And my experience on allure, my steak was much undercooked. I had mama mia scheduled and couldnt wait for them to recook. Smart slack waiter was like what's wrong it a perfectly cooked medium. I ordered medium well. No truffle seasoning on truffle fries. I'd rank 3 out of 10. Sometimes you do just have a bad experience. I dont disagree with the OP the food went downhill, just think it didnt happen overnight or fast. I do rcl for other reasons, not food. Each line to me has good and bad. Royal doesnt win the food wars for me. I hope to do HAL some day just to try the food I hear is better.
  11. I saw where carnival says just affecting cruises out of calif. Carnival says it will comply I read, but idk anything about this.
  12. We had some of this my last time on harmony. Kids probably made a xmas decoration into a swastika, clearly inappropriate. I went to guest services who said to me I couldn't report something on someone elses door, only my own door.
  13. This was out months ago, last November? I forget when the allure became able to be booked april 2026. I reread your link and cant find a date. For sure it had to be written before royal dropped cruises end of last year. I kept reading rumors before that too. Made no sense wonder would come here if harmony not selling better.
  14. I'm in the cant part with stuff. That's why I needed the extra space in a condo, to store boxes of what I'm saving. I'm planning on using the formal dining room for storage. I admit I'm a pack rat.
  15. Wow congrats to Brandon and sorry you were sick. I am from ohio and my BS and then MBA were from BGSU. So of course its special to me. Wow on her job. Try and relax on your cruise
  16. We got rid of multiple sets of china I knew I'd never use. Agree breaks my heart but trying to par down. Right now I'm pondering a very old dictionary my mom always used, even has tabs inset for the letters I havent been able to throw away but no use for. Got a few little bags ready to give to my sister with some stuffed animals. I have trouble throwing stuff away.
  17. We had some who called royal. The gi issue was on friday at dinner time. Some had doctors test and one lady went into the hospital for test. Those who called said royal really seemed to not care, if it was not covid, yawn, we dont want to know. No one who called said that rcl took their report seriously and cared. I was on a b2b is the only reason I tried to report it. Guest who supposedly was in charge yelled youc got it in cozumel. I didnt get off the ship in cozumel. He yelled cant be our food. Its inspected. My doctor treated me for e coli. I couldn't get rid of it without seeing a doctor. I've never seen over 50 people post on 1 roll call before they were all sick with the runs. Royal for sure doesnt want to hear. One of several reasons since covid I dont have much trust in royal, but I like to cruise. Imo you are on your own if you get sick from something on their ship.
  18. We had over 50 on my roll call who all had gi issues onboard. Royal refused to take the report onboard and actually yelled at me it's impossible it's our food. It was something onboard, I got it too. If they dont take the report, then it didnt happen is royals way to handle from my experience.
  19. No last year I pushed to 340 pts to get the solo discount. It's a loyalty perk. Its 1 of the perks and why I said for me royal has the best perks. I'm going to push to pinnacle by the end of next year. Right now I get 2 days free wifi. At pinnacle the whole cruise is free wifi. The 4 free drinks a day dont start until diamond on rcl. 80 pts. At 2 pts per night i pushed up fast on rcl since covid. I do group rates thru a TA not the advertised rates, minus D+ balcony discount, minus solo discount is why for me as a solo royal is cheaper than carnival, but I pushed for points last year when cruises were cheap.
  20. While those are ok, I have to say love carnival pizza made from scratch where I can special order my white pizza with pepperoni. I had BLT 3 times at their deli. The deli on royal doesnt special order and make sandwiches .. except beef and I've had trouble with finding beef cooked enough. And I love guys burgers, not the free ones on royal. We had free Mongolian bbq, not free on royal. Mexican about equal for free. Carnival cut my salad bowl so for me no longer a edge. Oh and free BBQ and all the sides there my last cruise. I still give carnival the nod. I posted over on carnival where the points guy gave the nod to carnival due to all the included fast food. For me carnival wins for free included food too. I make up for it on royal with my free drinks and 2 days of wifi and solo discount.
  21. I'm diamond on carnival and sure never felt spoiled. Royal has much better loyalty perks just saying. Also only royal gives solos a discount, sure not carnival. At 340 pts 25% off. It's hard to compare since royal gives me lots of perks, carnival pretty much nothing. Carnival has more fast food, I'll be honest. Royal better shows. I find the 2 more similar than not except I get 5 free drinks a day on royal, 1 drink on carnival the whole cruise Royal you can bring 12 cans or bottles of soda, carnival only cans. Each adult can bring 1 bottle of wine. To clarify, if solo yes that's only 1 bottle of wine. 3 adults in the cabin, 3 bottles. Its per adult. Carnivals fast food is what I miss. Not free on royal. Either mdr is not top notch imo. Similar.
  22. What kind of restrictions. I've never booked a friends and family rate, honest question.
  23. The surcharge is for izumi hibachi if you have a dinner pkg. There isnt a extra charge for the sushi side. I've only done the set price dinner, not the ala carte. Idk but you maybe can get a credit like above for ala carte or set price, not sure. I just do the dinner. No extra for the sushi side of the restaurant.
