ONECRUISER

True! Though even Tampa have left one Pier returning to another multiple times. Was on B4B last Fall standing on my Balcony watching hundreds passengers dragging bags across 2 parking lots. We had late arrival one week where they made all new passengers wait outside the Fence on Sidewalk. Knock on wood, after getting to Port never had wait more then 30min to Board a Ship

Yet as Firm as they are were REALLY Firm few yrs ago. I'm lucky though, could sleep on the Cabin Bed, Couch or Floor and get good nites sleep

Done this at least 6 times out of Port Everglades Royal had us leave from one Pier come into another. Was doing it at least once a yr pre-CV. The one time we drove down they ran Buses and Shuttles to Parking Ramp, but most times Pier to Pier was walking distance of about 5-10 min walk

Use the tough plastic sleeves attached to our Luggage, also have always carried on changes of clothes, on Ship and Airline, just in case. Then traveling with someone Wife, Kid, would split clothes up, half in each bag. Started this when one our Bags was flown to different State, arriving 24hrs later to our Port Hotel. Finally, last 20yrs have arrived at Port 2 days early. Seen too many miss Ship due to Weather, Flights Delayed/Canceled, or car issues. Fly 12-14 times a year and see this happen more last yr then have in my 40yrs of traveling

Skill of Capt, Crew, Pilot......and sometimes not

Nope, News was interviewing Passengers that were staying on the rest of the Cruise but were ashore to catch a game

Agree, couple yrs ago had great Mod on Royal thread and he'd combine Threads. Was almost daily when CV started

Agree, years of this happening posted on here where many were not notified until later near Sailing Dates

Yes, thanks just looked Cruise was 9yrs ago, 10yrs was sticking in my head as order was talked about on here on CC a lot in 2013. Was sure it wasn't 6 though.

Always makes Contact just not at high rate of speed!

Pretty sure was at least 10 for Royal. In 2013 was only time I ever had a connecting Cabin. Guy next to me would Smoke on his Balcony with door open, smoke would blow under our Connecting doors. Called Security twice, second time they caught him he was Fined the Cleaning Fee

Yup, no issues: Australia’s borders are open, and there are no Australian Government requirements to: give proof of a negative COVID-19 test on arrival to Australia supply proof of COVID-19 vaccination wear a mask, although this is encouraged

Happens, even scored one the best Cruise mistakes myself. I remember one so cheap Royal made everyone pay what the correct price was supposed to be or cancel their Booking

Agree, not as often as was 5yrs ago but Royal needs downtime to raise prices

Yes, on some sailings the Midnite check in isn't available. Seen short delays by Hrs-Day and months ago had one that was 10 days later for some reason.

That was our experience also

Agree, normal. Done Thanksgiving almost every yr on my Sailings were no additional up charges for the Meal like you see over Xmas Holidays

Had one disappear in evening the day it was due, only option to get it back next day was pay current rates. Then one in 2019 wasn't going after Family Emergency, when 15days before sailing got notice to pay or loose it and reservation was still on the site. Things changed by then and paid off/went on Cruise

NCL use to put everyone together at Breakfast and Lunch when Freestyle started 23+ yrs ago, always sitting with someone new.

If was my Table I'd walk on by...even Pre-CV no way I'd sit here. Few Cruises ago I checked out my Table after Boarding, Kool was what/where I requested. At Dinner as we all filed in to our Tables watched as couple at another Table was quickly switching number's, theirs for Mine. Grabbed the Head Waiter to let him deal with moving them. Sad is this isn't first time happened...

Same here. Last yr on 9 Cruises might have had Cabin cleaned 5 times twice a day at most. I get up at 6, run 3 miles, shower, eat Breakfast and by time Attendant would be cleaning I'm back sitting on my Balcony Reading or online in the Cabin talking to Grand Daughters. Been making own bed on Cruises last 5+ yrs anyway

Going there on 3 different upcoming Cruises, traveling SOLO, so I'll get off walk around and take pictures one of the Days. Other Days I'll enjoy an Empty Ship...

Was either 2015 or 16 I did it twice, Card/Cell same pocket and had reactivate Card on Serenade. Since then no issues

Cruises after April 2025 will be on a 2025-2026 Thread, have start that one in a few Months. Time is Flying!

Always got my Double Points for No-Shows. Had a weird one before CV where it was more expensive for a SOLO passenger then for 2 in my Cabin. This even with my SOLO 340+ points. Didn't say anything, got Fees/Port back for my make believe partner and Double Points received after Cruise.
