My fiancé and I mailed out our expired passports July 27th, expedited. We got them back on Friday. Hopefully your wife will have the same luck!

Yup. I know. I don't get them.

How do I get this please?   I’m use to NCL you can book ahead or on the ship and prices don’t change-between the drinks and shore excursions this is a lot of checking

 Yes I would love to know as well! I am apparently signed up for promotional emails but I never, ever get them

Maybe I need to change a setting... I only get a notification about every 45-60 days 

Haha, sometimes it is annoying like “okay I do not care that the price has gone up $4!!” But on the other hand we’ve had three price drops so far that we have been able to take advantage of. Prices for our cruise have skyrocketed though in the past eight months so I don’t expect anymore of those unfortunately!

I have found more price matches doing mock bookings than I have with shipmate... 
 

Really? I probably get a price change notification every single day. I definitely wouldn’t want to do a mock booking each and every day. 

I use an app called Shipmate! You just enter your cruise and you can even select them to email you if there is a price change. It’s very quick and a lot easier than constantly making mock bookings.

Couples...separately?

How do you do a "couples" bath "separately?"

I believe they mean just that one service on its own instead of in a package with other services

Oh yessssss! Paula Deen can have her butter... gimme bacon!

Yep, that Bacon Shake... or maybe it was a Bacon Sundae... was my first bacon desert. Have a look down Memory Lane...

 

 

I remember back in… ‘12? Maybe? Burger King had a Bacon Sundae. I remember getting so many of them when they were out, the combination of the salty and the sweet was 😘👌

Yes.  28 points for each week  

Thank you so much!! I know it’s not very much compared to most people on the boards, but it will mean we will sky rocket from gold right to emerald! 🥳

I have a B2B booked starting December 4th, 2021 for 7 days each leg. We booked this in June 2020.  
I just read that apparently any cruises booked before June 2021 will get double crown and anchor points, would our cruise apply even though we booked it in 2020? If so, since we are booked in a junior suite, would we get 28 points per leg (7 doubled due to JS at 14, and then doubled due to double points offer) or is my math wrong and we just get the 14 per leg?

Thanks!

Gosh, I'm so curious to know who this "religious group" is. I'm originally from NY so I have a guess from the descriptions of their behavior, but they don't strike me as the type of person you would see on a cruise. Hmmmm🤔🤔

If there are any price drops, would I have to contact my TA or could I just call up Royal on my own?

I was also wondering that! There has to be someone!

Thank you all so much for all the informative and interesting answers! It made all of your replies very fun to read.

Except L3GWG. You really need to go sit in a corner and calm down.

I've always been confused about this. I think I experienced it also with RCCL but that was almost six years ago so I may be off. But still.

Honestly, I would rather get down there quicker, and then enjoy the last two nights I have to cruise on the ship. Maybe it has to do with how many different ships can be at the docks at the same time?

Anyone actually know the reason behind this? :confused:

(even if I had to walk past a "do not enter" sign)

Wait. Youre telling us you go into restricted areas on purpose?? :confused:

Thank you so much everyone, especially Bear! Looks like I have some reading to do :p

I (like I'm sure a lot of you) really enjoy reading indepth, picture-filled, cruise reviews, especially when you don't have a new cruise on your horizon for a while.

Anyway, I have wanted to read a review of the inaugural for ages, but forgot for a few months (I love reading about people experiencing a ship for the first time ever). Doing a search through the site isn't coming up with anything, but I doubt no one did an inaugural review.

There is the actual review section on the main Cruise Critic webpage, but I like pictures and there isn't any ever on those. :(

So basically, I'm asking because I'm sure more regulars to this board would a)either know of one or know someone who wrote one, or b) wrote one themselves!

Sorry for the very specific request! ;)

EX is not getting stretched or having stateroom numbers changed. They learned their lesson with Rhapsody, and are not changing existing stateroom number, even when they add staterooms to other Vision class shops.

Thanks! Very good to know.

Does anyone know if it is getting stretched? I want to eventually book a cruise for summer of 2014 (obviously not yet, but I wouldn't want to book it too soon before the dry docking incase my room number changes). I feel like it wouldn't, as explorer is pretty big already, but where else would they be putting all of the new restaurants, etc?

Does anyone have a 7 day compass? I can't seem to find one anywhere. Thanks!!
