ONECRUISER

Use to be a 13-14 nite Repo, one yr was 15 but that one was also Canceled

Yeah Enchantment and Grandeur can have rough rides did 8 Cruises on them 1997-2002. These were Caribbean chasing named storm/Hurricanes. Would be walking along and felt like floor dropped 10ft. Only one Royal Ship I was on was worse in storms/waves, Sovereign. On one Cruise there was 4 named Storms/Hurricanes that week, we steered about them but Caribbean was all choppy with 15+ ft waves. After couple days there were Dozens were in Casts and splints on Legs or Arms getting around in Royal Wheelchairs and Crutches. Was first time I saw someone airlifted in a lay down Basket, this off the Pool Deck. Raining, windy and he started spinning around as they lifted him. Was Enchantment in 1997, he had a compound Fracture, Ship was 100miles west of GITO Cuba so not sure if US Coast Guard Helo was from that US Base or further away... Most likely Allure will be smoother then your last one in similar tall Waves

Saw someone after caught sharing a package with his supposed Non-Drinking Wife and Daughter in another Cabin. He was repriced and charged a Ton for each Drink consumed by all of them. Every Alcoholic, Soda Pop, Juice and water bottle. This was pre-CV when a his single package was cheap. He was Loud and Pis+ed!

Did the Boston to Florida Cruise for over Decades, very popular with Upper Tier C&A. Diamonds would get Crown Lounge and/or 3 Lounges, D+ would get the Diamond Lounge. Lot on longer Sailings have similar, though as already said is "usually" just for Happy Hour

Done lot of Oct/Nov Cruises out of NE, many more during peak Hurricane Season chasing named storms. Typical have the Sea Sick bags out around Ship on at least few days on Majority my Cruises. I actually enjoy the ride with feel of being on a water and why all my Cruises last dozen yrs been on smaller Ships. Shoot even Panama Canal Cruise last Fall we ended up with 8 straight Sea Days due to rough seas and a named storm. Not everyone is a Sun worshiper

Was too slow. Been watching for release daily all yr but for Serenade, Oops! Do have Radiance PC B3B this Oct in 9256. Also next Spring doing Jewel B4B had to settle for 8168 since dont like to change Cabins, they also dont have the $$$ up charge for Sunset Balcony Cabin that Oct2025 Radiance has. Was a Good Day overall, 3 more Cruises had major reductions, saved $1700 today alone. 5 my Bookings offering Military Discounts. Called Royal, took all of 21min total time Dialing to hangup and he was very Knowledgeable. Felt like today was Christmas!

Been on other Ships, doing longer 10+ Sailings and 25% would Dress up. 6 these Cruises Costume Contest, 3 times had a Haunted House. Other Ships and shorter Sailings not sure though

Booked the PC Cruise yesterday, wasnt sure how long it'd been out

Yup and doing B2B and longer last few Cruises only had to show up to Muster on first leg. Morning of Changeover while waiting rest passengers get off they scan our new Card and done. Just walk off, back on and straight back to my Cabin Extras yes, Drink packages, Shore Excursions, yes. But long as isnt new Ships like Icon I'm still finding Deals and reductions on multiple Ships and Sailings, just knocked another $1800 off my Mar-Apr 2024 B3B sailings. Also 2 of the 3 were offering Military Discounts

Agree, with the DP340 and about 1/3 time getting Military Discounts rare that other lines could beat Royal Rates on get

Thanks but no these older soft side Sets the Wheel Base sits out so opening them doesnt help.

Bag/Bags of Linen are always under my Bed during Cruise, been this way since Pre-CV. My Luggage is too thick and does fit anyway, it's the style with spinner wheels sticking out, so it goes in the Closet

No, during CV and startup Cruise Line was doing this long as Symptoms were similar to or were CV.

Agree. Imagine if the cost if was a Hospital ER. My Daughter was Lucky Financially getting sick on 2 Different Cruises during post Covid startup 2021 & 2022. Bad Virus and other one was a Sinus Infection. Each time Quarantined for couple days of Neg CV tests, Initial Infirmary Visits, Meds inc Antibiotic and Daily Cabin Visits by Nurse, was no Charge for anything. Plus Free Room Service, though we Brought her Dinner from Main Dinning after we ate, plus she and her Family was issued 2 days and 3 Days refund from their Cruise even though was just her staying put in the Cabin

Few yrs ago there was list how many Pin's, I'd say it's pushing at least 8-10K by now.

I remember that one, sitting on the Railing, falling over pulling the other with them

True, made Diamond back in the 90's haven't wore a robe yet. Havent had share a Cabin in 22yrs so for me the 340+ Solo Discount guarantees I stay with Royal. With Low to no status on other lines Rare that any could match prices/Discounts I receive

You might be surprised, lot times short showers and when possible Capt will steer around small cells or speedup/slowdown. That said where live now it never snows and we get average 330 days of sunshine. ...Enjoy Your Cruise!

Nice! Hate to waste or throw away anything that is still usable

Funny thing is 4 Royal Ships been on last 10yrs on 1 had the actual Freestyle pop machines, other 3 you had get the cup filled at the Bars

Mean the ones look like get at an amusement park? Seen some those off/on from 2021-last fall.

I miss the old cups from decade ago that held cold and hot drinks, though they held about 12oz instead of 16

Yes, seen many Videos posted River Cruises where the Line has 50 Bikes to use on stops or Bike Excursions

80s was nothing see 50 Passengers carrying on Golf Club. 90's at times see handful to about dozen Bikes brought on some Cruises, last 20yrs, nope!

Over a 6 month period I had 5, 515 and 530 all on same Ship on different Cruises, the 5 and 515 were a B2B
