poocher

Tiny with very uncomfortable seating. Tried to watch the WS there & it was packed (actually met my first truly rude cruiser there. Sat right in front of us while we were watching the game, blocking the TV. Said he didn’t care if we could see & refused to move). We usually went back to our room because the bar was so crowded.

Yeah “fudging” is never a good plan. I imagine the insurance company will want some type of proof. I would have your friend go get a lab test showing he/she is positive. Don’t call RC, call the insurance provider.

I am so spoiled by that room! It was a fantastic deal that I’ll never get again.

We had MTD and made the email request. Although they could not give us our table number, when I stopped at the MDR, they had it in the system already.

Owners Suite on Harmony & a good size one on the balcony too.

Last month, also showed Top Gun:Maverick & Bullet Train

Royal says no, arrive at your designated time. But in practice, many have gotten on early. Expect to have to wait for your time, be happy if you get on early.

Have done MTD twice this year with parties of 4 and 2, both times with reservations around 6:45. On neither cruise did we wait more than 10 minutes to be seated. Each night we were waved to the inner check in desk and pretty much right to our table. Not sure why the Royal dining gods have been smiling on us but just thought I’d relate personal experience.

No, in the APP ONLY, you can jump right to arrival time without entering ANY OTHER information. You’ll have to do each person on each reservation one by one but you don’t have to enter anything to get arrival times on the APP. I will grab arrival times for everyone as soon as check in opens then go to bed & do the rest as I have time over then next few days.

You can grab check in times for all linked reservations, not just those in your cabin, on the app without having/needing/entering any other information. The rest can be added at your leisure either on the app or the website. You can do it all or everyone can do their own.

Never hit backups arriving 10:30-11ish

I think that was a joke.

I come from a long line of caterers. I can put 2 cups of coffee & a glass of OJ on a plate, place another plate on top with assorted pastries & walk down 3 flights of stairs to our cabin!

No.

No charge for extra plates or food. There is speculation that they will begin charging for additional lobster tails but at present that is just speculation. Order as many plates as you want.

No, that says the SECOND tail will be $16.99 plus gratuity. The first tail is complementary.

I am truly anal retentive about spelling. As an office manager for a major department store, I would drive corporate nuts sending misspelled signs back and refusing to put up any with grammatical errors. I actually dragged the GM of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame to a new exhibit & pointed out every error (and there were a ton! There, there, they’re make me crazy!!!). I am in a 12 step program but sometimes I backslide!

Also found in the app if you have it downloaded.

You’ll note I have given my opinion & I was brought up to believe grammar and spelling do matter. Of course I am old and think it a crime that cursive is no longer taught in school.

And perhaps the large group made reservations harder.

Off Explorer last month, we had a JS on deck 9. It was very convenient to the pool deck & WJ. Just a quick 2 flights up, no elevator needed. The walk-in closet was wonderful!

I find the old cup awkward and top heavy. Don’t really care much about the insulation. I like the more streamlined look.

Well my opinion is the current lobster tails are awful, so bad in fact that it would be a crime to charge for extras. If however, they start serving REAL cold water Maine lobster tails, I do not believe a charge for additional tails is unreasonable. Look, my opinion and spelled correctly!

Ok so I shouldn’t mention the extra “m”?

Not sure why so many insert that extra “n”. DINNING like WINNING. DINING like WHINING!
