Royal Caribbean's website does not allow more than five on one reservation, no matter the capacity of the cabin. It is archaic, but it is just how the system "works". It is better to just call and book directly since you need to make sure you can book five in the cabin. Sometimes larger capacity rooms, like the one you have booked, are limited to how many that can be booked because the lifeboat assigned to that cabin has reached capacity.

Birth certificate and government issued picture ID is all that is needed on a closed loop cruise for those 16 years old and up. If you kids are under 16 years old, they are fine with their birth certificates. You will need your picture ID as well as your sea pass in Nassau as they check both. The port area in Nassau was just rebuilt, not sure when the prior poster was there but obviously not recently. Passports are coming back much faster than in recent years. I saw a post today that it only took three weeks, which is amazing. It would depend on the kids ages and whether you have more plans to travel in the near future if I were to try to get passports. If the kids are almost 16, I would wait as once they are 16, they get a 10 year passport, not the 5 year for younger kids.

Storm decided to shift low and miss us almost completely. Schools around here announced closings last night, winter parking bans in effect, some businesses didn't open and it was all for nothing. My deck and lawn has a dusting and the street is wet and that is it! Careful shoveling that cement, I hate that kind of snow.

My Mom and I had to clean out and sell my aunt's house and her condo when we had to move her to assisted living. She had no kids and her husband had told my Mom, just before he died, now she is your problem. 😲 My aunt was legally blind and was overwhelmed with the whole project, so we had to do most of it once we had moved her. We cleared all the personal items out and sold the Florida condo furnished, so that helped, but the house took us a long time. We sold some stuff and when people came to pickup what they bought, offered other stuff for free. That moved a lot of stuff but we threw away a lot of stuff that wasn't worth keeping and donated a lot of furniture too. I look at all the stuff my Mom has in her condo and try not to think about the house she has down in Florida that we will have to deal with too. Someone asked about my Mom's house in Florida because they are interested in buying it, but she wants to keep it just in case. At least everyone has stopped giving my Mom "stuff". We try to give her stuff that she needs. One of the grandkids sends ice cream. She is the new favorite. 😄

My son is an only child and we do not want to leave him dealing with all our stuff either. We have been purging stuff for the last couple of years but have a long way to go. When we moved into this house, my mother in law also moved in with us. A lot of stuff was put in the attic to deal with later and still sits there over twenty years later. The plan was to clear that stuff out as we were clearing out my son's stuff when he bought his house. Well, housing prices has my son still here. At this rate, he might end up buying this house from us when his Dad retires in five years. Then, he might just get stuck with it all. 😄

Quantum of the Seas - Concierge Club Noise
reallyitsmema replied to TXAnn09's topic in Royal Caribbean International
It was an annoyance because we didn't want our clothing stained. We could clean our glasses and our ipads easily but we didn't want black spots on our clothing. We didn't look at 720 or 320 since we weren't sailing star class. We picked this cabin as it was the only sky loft left when we booked. -
Quantum of the Seas - Concierge Club Noise
reallyitsmema replied to TXAnn09's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We sailed in cabin 10722 on Quantum, a Sky Loft suite directly below the Concierge Lounge. We never heard any noise from above. We never heard any noise from any of the cabins near us. It was a very quiet cabin with great views for Alaska. Our only complaint was we had a lot of soot on the balcony. They did wipe it down every day but we could see it on our glasses or our ipads when we sat out there. -
Mom is hanging in there, thanks for asking. 🙂 She is still living on her own and doesn't want to move because she is comfortable. We will never get her closer until there is some crisis that forces the issue. I hope the weather in FL starts cooperating for you so you can get to the beach! We are supposed to be 60 degrees up here on Saturday. Strange winter!

Thanks for thinking of me. 🙂 Things just got really busy and I haven't been reading too much on CC. I have recently caught up on this thread but have been following the world cruise on other sites. People are posting amazing videos and pictures. We have a cruise coming up in May and are looking to book more if the prices cooperate. I appreciate you reaching out with all you have happening. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad you were able to get away and see your family in Amsterdam. 🙂

My Mom got hers back about a half hour ago, thankfully. I told her to get her dinner together just in case it goes out again. She keeps her house ridiculously warm, so with the mild temperature today, she was okay. I couldn’t get her and bring her here because we are still out and my house us only 63 right now. If it was still out in the morning, I was going to take her out of there, likely to my sisters since she has a whole house generator. My DH is on his way home from work and we will go out to eat and charge devices. Our most recent estimated restoration time has come and gone and now status is “reassessing repairs”. Time will tell, nothing we can do. Others have it much worse than us, at least we have no damage as far as I can tell. Just a little water that I have dealt with. 🙂
