  1. I totally understand why some do not prefer the Royal class but I am one who loved the Royal when I sailed her about a year after she entered serve. Most all that was taken away really doesn't affect me and I really enjoyed the improvements. I am sailing her again Feb. 28 and am excited to do so. If you really enjoy the promenade that would especially be a let down. I guess that is why they have other ships. Hope you continue to enjoy the other Princess ships!:)

  2. Yes......just go to web site and click on rewards and benefits.......then you can get your on board credit. If you have 40,000 points you can get $500 o board credit.

     

    Do you know if the obc purchased with points still shows up in the personalizer with your ta and other credits? If so about how long after redemption?

  3. I do have to wonder if they ran out of the packets of Vegemite and peanut butter due to people taking them - as the OP says was done with the tea bags.

     

    Personally, if I saw some kid lick the spoon and return it to the jar I would have spoken up and reprimanded the child - loudly so that other passengers and staff noticed what had been done. I don't care if the parents don't like it. I also would have taken the jar and insisted that the staff deal with the issue.

     

    Agree 100%. I would also speak up right away. If I took a child to a buffett, and I have, I always accompany the child. No matter what manners they are taught they are children and sometimes don't think. (Although same could be said for some adults, lol)

  4. Just so Im understanding correctly, I pre-purchase for 99.00. I have my mom in my cabin with me and my brother and his wife next door. Me or my mom have to be in the photo for it to be included? My brother and his wife cannot take one of just the 2 of them, one of us has to be included? More importantly, once I board the Royal I can change my mind and ask for a refund? If they offer the 49.00 deal, I can request the difference or get a refund and rebuy at 49.00?

  5. I'm so happy to have found this sight. Want to drop weight for our upcoming cruise. Have lost 90 pounds and need to drop another 30. Thinking about all the food options on the ship and oh boy......not easy to eat yogurt and fruit with those croissants. [emoji6]

    Lol! Very true, hard to eat properly on a ship. I just try to drink more water. Congrats on losing 90 lbs! What an accomplishment! Hope to do the same this year. Very inspiring 😊😊

  6. This is EXACTLY what I need. 270 some days before our 25th anniversary cruise.

    currently 5'3" 300 pounds. With start of new year looking to start t-tapp, and walk away the pounds and my fitness pal to monitor calories.

     

    Good luck Paul2! Always a challenge isn't it? I have a feeling we will not be alone come Jan. 1!

  7. Love Boat Volcano from the children's menu

    The children's menu spaghetti and meatballs is pretty good

     

    I ordered it as an appetizer.

    Ask to see the following day menu prior to leaving the dining room.

    If there is nothing on the menu that you like you can make a special request

     

    We don't care for the rolls that they put on the table so for every dinner we request a freshly baked challah

    You will not starve

    Trust me

    Challah?! Did not know you could request that! After 12 Princess Cruises we just ask last year if we could get the soft rolls they have in the buffet. They had them for us every night after, but Challah sounds good! I'm gonna ask. Thanks!

  8. A couple years ago my ta notified me of an upsell offer from a mini to a full suite on a 5 day cruise. I remember it well as I had just touched down in Vegas in mid Oct. and checked my phone. The cruise wasn't until March 1! I was very surprised and took it. I had to change cabins after that cruise as I was doing a btb but that was handled by room stewards seamlessly.

  9. Can I say I desperately need to lose without giving numbers? ;) I really want to be able to enjoy the ship & shore food without worrying about breaking my scooter.

     

    After 40+ years of dieting, my metabolism is at a slow crawl and the only method that has ever worked at all was just cutting calories. I can gain weight on 1000 cal/day, no kidding. (And that is an honest count, I even include the calories from Tums and gummy vitamins.)

     

    So I'm back to just gritting my teeth and Doing It. I have cucumbers, cauliflower, and mushrooms in the fridge, so when I've eaten my allowed amount and am still hungry, I can nosh on fresh veggies. I've been good today, another 6 months and I may have lost some weight.

     

    I feel your pain and frustration! The only thing that works for a steady weight loss for me is 1300 calories or less while eating less than 50 carbs (good carbs) and believe it or not about 50-60 grams of fat. This is doable but problem is I can only do it for a month or so then it's back to pasta, etc. :eek: I really need to lose at least 60 pounds. I'm back at it again, lost 5 pounds last week. Just don't quit trying! We will get it right! Good Luck!:)

  10. I for one am very glad you posted your thoughts on rccl. I have only cruised Princess but have been thinking of trying a new line in a few years. (I'm already booked thru 2018 on Princess) I would not go to the rccl board unless I wanted to book with them. I enjoyed reading your posts, thank you.☺
