    Current Concierges continued discussion

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    We were on the Adventure April 28 for 7 days (southern Carrib) when Sucel became ill and left the ship in Aruba. Hugo was brought in from Guest Services on Adventure when she left. They had hoped Sucel would return when Adventure headed to Bayonne. I am sorry to read she is still on medical leave. She was excellent and has been with Adventure for a long time. Hugo was very nice - always a big smile! There were less GS and above guests and and Pinnacles than D and D+ (using the D lounge) and it was decided it would work out better for Hugo to go into the SL and keep Christopher in the D lounge. Christopher, also very nice, was helping (instructing?) Hugo when we were there. I hope Sucel has a speedy recovery and that Royal finds a concierge position somewhere for Hugo.

     

     

     

    We are sailing on AD next Friday (5/25) and just received an email from Hugo introducig himself and listing Suite benefits. Odd thing is... we are in a Junior Suite but the email list includes access to the Suite lounge, free room service, Suite seating for shows, Suite pool seating, etc. I thought JS did not have those benefits?

    Motion sickness Tablets

    Grab a few green apples the first day at Windjammer. We once talked to a crew member who swore by that method. Once I was desperate enough to try anything and it worked ! Lol

    My first cruise with RCCL I happened to look out the windows in the windjammer in rough seas and immediately got nauseous. I hightailed it back to my room and my cabin steward saw I was looking a bit green in the gills. He said “Miss Amanda... I will go get you something, just rest.” He came back with green apples and sat with me while I ate and started to feel better.

     

    10 years later and I still swear by green apples for motion sickness!

    Cruise Fiction Books

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    Summer at Sea by Beth Labonte is about a single girl who goes on a Boston-Bermuda cruise on NCL. The book is seriously laugh out loud funny.

     

    I have been on the Boston- Bermuda cruise and it was fun following their adventures on the pink buses, mopeds of Bermuda and all the cruise antics.

     

    Wish I could find another book just like this one!

    The "New" Adventure of the Seas Pics

    yeah to be honest i really just wanted to keep in touch with people back home, via a messaging app, so wasnt looking for insane speeds but those prices per day are awfully expensive.. i am going from jersey to florida to the Bahamas and back up to jersey, i wonder if i will have cell service the whole time that i could just send a few texts and pay for them

     

     

     

    You will have cell service on your port day in Port Canaveral.

     

    Nassau has free wifi in multiple locations.

     

    Otherwise you will be too far from land to have service.

    What to do in Fort Lauderdale

    in Florida Departures

    We love going to McCarthy’s Wildlife Sanctuary in West Palm Beach. They do tours limited to 10 or so people and you do have to prebook. Lions, tigers, panthers, fox, reptiles, birds..... it’s like going on a behind the scenes tour of a zoo.... you learn each animals story.

     

    Right now they have a baby white lion that you can pay to have play time with. Check their Facebook page.

    Check your invoices. Our due amount went up over 1,000.

    Yeah that's called a glitch. I don't see the reason to call in before you've paid what you know to the the actual amount due tbh.

     

     

     

    Because They told us they don't know what accounts are messed up so it isn't going to fix itself.

     

    And why would I want to look at an incorrect total for over a year instead of calling and correcting it. Who knows if they are going to be easy to work with. They originally told us that our price went up because we didn't chose the discounted price. Um? Excuse me?

     

    I would rather know now and have the opportunity to cancel vs having flights etc booked and have them say, nope, not fixing it, too bad.

     

    I want my bill to be correct. And I will call every time.

    Royal is having major IT issues. We logged on tonight just to add our c&a numbers to a cruise we booked two weeks ago. Our original cruise was 2,700 minus the 750 deposit we owed about 1,900. Today our cruise total was 3,800 and we still owed 3,100!

     

    Called Royal and they could see the original pricing and corrected it back. Thankfully.

     

    They admitted they are having issues but said they don't know what/why and who it has affected. So check and call in if it is wrong!

    U.S. Passport Renewal Processing Time as of 6/29/17

    in Ask a Cruise Question

    Posted

    Just got the same timeframe for mine. Apparently early summer is an excellent time to renew through Philadelphia. Just over two weeks for new book, just under three weeks for card to arrive, and just over three weeks for old passport (with my hard-fought Brazil visa in it) to come back

     

     

     

    We did not receive our old passport books back. Do they come back separately?
