In the past, we've had many Concierge/Suite Lounge Hosts plan ship tours, chocolate events and wine/hors d'oeuvres nights.  Are these a thing of the past?  We just returned from a Jewel of the Seas cruise and there was nothing but the evening Happy Hour for suite guests.  

Have never had any of these on any ship!?!

We have used the points for cruises a couple of times in the past and also for on board credits but never though a TA. We would book the cruise for a balcony then use the credits for a cruise against the curruent cruise. The value they give you is for an inside cabin and you have to pay the difference for the upgrade. Again not sure how this works with a TA but we have done it a couple of times for 7 day cruises. 

Well heck. It used to be for an oceanview. Did it change?

You need to talk with Club Royale and see why. I remember when I first made Prime I wasn't getting offers and called and they didn't have my most recent mailing addy and corrected it. Since then my mailbox gets blown up (NOT COMPLAINING) with between my wife and I around 6 offers a month.

Thanks, but as I said:

Dozens of inquiries have produced nothing. 😬

We've contacted Club Royale at least 30 times over the years with no luck!

 Just like Prime members at Royal are offered 3 and 4 night sailings constantly.

I wish!!  I've been Prime for years and hubby Signature for years and get zilch.  Dozens of inquiries have produced nothing. 😬

Thanks.  Mine was a table for six so DH couldn't just show up and try to squeeze in. You'd think they would have advised me to just sit with my DH at his two-top but since there are no tables for one, they must have had someone else assigned to sit with him. We ate elsewhere all ten nights.

Fix that ahead of time via a rcldining@rccl.com email request. 

Have tried that for years without much luck - thanks.

Good luck. On our last cruise DH and I each had a connecting balcony and we were linked at booking.  Upon boarding we found I was assigned a table for six in Chic dining room and DH was assigned a table for two (don't know with whom) in Grande dining room. I waited in line at the dining entrance the first day to get them corrected and was advised nothing could be done and we should do my time!  😵 No thanks.

Why didn't you say something? Do you change your sheets every day at home?

Certainly not. I change mine at home every seven days. I didn't say anything because these attendants work their butts off to please us.

Yes, last month on one we went to Grand Turk instead and another was redirected to Grand Cayman.

Just off 10-day sailing and sheets were never changed. Had the same nubby sheets with a hole the entire time.☹️

We've been on many birthday cruises but have never seen this. DH received this invitation during our current sailing. About 100 guests showed up including family members. Door prizes and a huge cake were provided. I asked the hotel director about it and he said it is new. Rather nice.

Yes, The RCI blog reported that as well.

Sorry, have never read a blog. Good to know there is one.

From our ship last week we watched a barge offload heavy equipment onto the site of Royal's new beach club in Nassau. Beginning construction soon?

IMO:

1. Mama Mia

2. Grease

3. Hairspray

Cats not in the mix

I've been on Indy the last two sailings. Solarium pool water was not warm.

Recently on Radiance class, where the machines are at the back of the Windjammer, at times you could serve yourself and other times a crew member was there to serve you. Haven't been able to serve yourself on any other ships we have sailed lately.

Two months ago they were on the upper deck port side.

We checked there but no signage when we were on. We couldn't find two seats for any shows but certainly didn't miss much.

On Vision last month there were no reserved theater seats. Also none on previous Vision Class ships.

Recently?

Yep

Here is the Splash Away Cafe menu for my 4/19 Quantum sailing:

They do - just go and complain at the bar and security will show up....

Tried that numerous times on several ships - didn't work.

We've been on many Alaskan cruises and have never received one in any of our balconies or suites.  Have never heard of them actually.

Just received notice we are visiting Grand Turk instead of Labadee on the April 4 Independence sailing.  Woo Hoo!!  Yay for Grand Cayman on the April 8 sailing also.

Thanks much!  Love the pics. We're scheduled to be there twice next month.
