  1. I couldn't find it... https://www.caribbeannationalweekly.com/news/caribbean-news/belize-city-under-state-of-emergency/
  2. Used a non-corded for the first time on Celebrity without a problem recently but I've yet to try it on a Royal cruise. We haven't got one booked until November.
  3. Had a S2S booked in Port Everglades. Problem? They moved the 2nd ship to Miami scheduled to begin on our cruise. D Concierge signed us up for an excursion that she said would drop us at Port of Miami. Asked the driver while pulling into Miami airport if he was going to POM next...Nope. Exited the bus and took a cab the rest of the way. The worst part was the 2nd ship had to drop off in PE before moving to POM but they still couldn't allow us to board there.
  4. Got stuck behind a guy swiping his phone on our last cruise. The reception person finally told him to step aside because a line was forming. He had three other people trying to help him. We always take a print copy.
  5. It's available for our May 2024 Icon cruise.
  6. I'm not sure if they solved this problem but too many times passengers had to remove the band from their wrist and hand it to bartenders for them to scan it for drinks. Seemed a little counterintuitive.
  7. When we first started cruising wife and I thought we were Bonnie and Clyde sneaking our bottle of bubbly up to the pull deck in her big old beach bag with 2 full glasses of OJ to make Mimosas when no one was looking. We were bad@ss cruisers back in those days. Now we're just old and get them at the bar.
  8. Both if you're Diamond and up but only the Concierge or Suite Lounges if not.
  9. I did mean water. We usually pack the fridge with it.
  10. Agree but bottles are more convenient especially when on the move or stocking the cabin.
  11. I couldn't find them on any deck plans I looked at and had to Google 'Sky Junior Suite' to see them. We're on her May '24 and never saw the option. Crazy prices but we got talked into going with extended family.
  12. LOL...We actually joked about that while eating dinner. 😁
  13. Just did 4 mock bookings out to April '25 for Icon and JS only have Sea Class perks. They do have CK when available but that's the same on the Oasis Class.
  14. We're doing back B2B shorties on Independence in November. It'll be our first without the DBP...at least for the first leg. The problem will be getting waters. Wife is a 1 water for 1 cocktail/wine drinker and I'm a 1 for 2. That's a lot of waters between the two of us. Add the convenience of not signing and not keeping track of C&A drinks and the experiment is already teetering on failure.
  15. Old enough to remember walking into MTD anytime between 5:30 - 6:30 and being seated right away. Then we did a stretch of Oasis Class suites and Celebrity suites. Fast forward to Serenade last November and holy cow! What a mess. Ended up in specialties and the WJ every night except the last night. The last night we walked right in.
  16. Have done the same when our grandson was feeling under the weather. His mom and dad were in a JS. It was lobster night so we invited them up. He slept while we ate.
  17. Is this because of the rock slides at the pier?
  18. Couldn't get Zacapa on my March Reflection cruise. Rumor has it that Celebrity's distributor no longer carries it. We're on Equinox in 2 weeks so we'll see.
  19. Always wore a tux until they stopped cruise ship rentals. Now I'm a suit guy. We like spiffing it up now and then and even occasionally stop for a photo. Seems like there are less and less times to dress up these days so cruising it is.
  20. They're usually pretty good about emails but you can email them if you have requests. I've also had their emails land in my junk mail folder.
  21. We were on her in January and had a blast. No problems with food or service.
  22. Can't say how many times it will take. We've been sailing for almost 25 years now and mostly with Royal. We never made it to CC until they built the pier so we're just making up for lost time now.
  23. I'm not making any judgments but it does look like Marie wore out her drink package on her sea pass. Just sayin'...
