ONECRUISER

Agree, on my first Holland America this Thanksgiving. Doing 18nite with 6 stops 5 are HI Islands(6days) and is RT to/from San Diego. Best part was only $25 down. Wish Royal did similar Cruises like other lines.

Great Option

Same here. Except couple 6 & 8 niters part of B4B last yr it 's been 22yrs since last time I did a Cruise less then 10+ nites. But even back in 90's Royal did lot of 3, 4, and 5 nite Cruises. Once did a 5 nite Bahama Cruise out of Port Canaveral. Would be putting along at 3kts during day and one nite we were at a dead stop. It woke me up as weren't tipping but whole Ship rocked side to side.

Pacific Princess. Tonnage 20,636 GT

$6-10(tax & Shipping inc) Walmart or Amazon. Single Father I Raised 3 girls now with 4 Grand Daughters that's all I've done last 32yrs is Buy young Girl Clothes. This at least once a Month if now weekly

Agree, Sovereign was the first "Mega" Cruise Ship and Largest Cruise Ship at the time. Was on her then in 1988 looking down on the Tiny Carnival, NCL and Princess Love Boat sized Ships. All these holding about 1/4 passengers what Sovereign was. She was Huge compared to others. Funny thing is most my Caribbean Stops then through 90's were Tender ports when most(might been all) Royal Ships inc Voyager Class were carrying their own Tenders. Now with Island stops having these can't remember now last time I was on a Royal Tender.

I stay onboard most Port days. Doesn't effect me, don't Smoke but those that do sit in Casino Smoking all day. Issue is they Ban it as said there is nowhere onboard to Smoke on Fuel days

To go with my Long Sleeve Tank Top and Thigh High Boots 😁

I know, after agreeing with you was just adding some Royal Smoking History

True. When I started Cruising Royal on open Decks and around the pool had a Table with Ashtray for every 2 Lounge Chairs. I miss the Tables, were nice keep personal stuff off the Deck. Back then WJ had Trays for Food/drinks which some thought cafeteria cheap. But it also then used China plates, cups and glass not plastic Cups like now. My 8yr old Son was quite embarrassed when items shifted falling off his tray hitting the WJ Tile transforming his China and Glass into a million pieces...

Do 4-8 longer Sailings a yr on Radiance Class where they refuel 1-2 times a Cruise. During those days the only place to Smoke onboard is the Casino. Guess only option for them to lite up is go ashore for a Cigarette

True. My bet Icon with have them though until last yr I was never was on a Ship that had them.

True, see that by range being reported here. When got my New Passport in Fall 2019 was under 5wks-2 days(non-exp). But before then many on here were reporting slow renewals of double that like some are currently reporting

Last Fall had new one issued in 6 weeks, non-exp... Just double checked, was recieved in 6 weeks and 1 day

I first became Diamond there wasn't a Diamond Lounge, we had access to CL. Wasn't added on Ship's until Voyager came out in 1999. Was top Tier at time, no D+ or P and usually at most 6-8 of us on Cruise. Lot more Cruiser's and Repeaters now then 25-35yrs ago. Last few yrs so many D's onboard my Radiance Class Repo's they gave them overflow in Crown Lounge plus 2-3 other Lounges during Happy Hour. Me, I don't care about many the Benefits, just the 340+ SOLO, this one I save thousands a year from

Not all the time but at least 1-2 my Cruises each yr they have checked cards at Door or in the Lounge when was Crowded. So it does happen and did see more then a Few asked to leave

We all would go to Concerts in Detroit in 70-80s. Had 3 cars full last time we went. We headed home, one Car decided head to Canada for a Club "Show". On Canadian side the Agent saw a baggie with couple Joints in it. They got pulled, strip search to their Under-roos, car was thoroughly searched inc the Door panels. Nothing else found, they were turned around sent back to US with Door panels in the trunk

Agree, plan on Self Disembark when going early Flights. At least 3 times was last off at between 1010 & 1040 these with earliest off about 745, this Radiance Class. Port Everglades. Twice I did FLL on Dec 22 and Dec 23 and line was out the Door. Was bunch people at Airport that missed Flights, some were told they might make it home by Xmas. Rare yes, but happens. Don't mind wait, I Fly out anywhere from 1230-2

Shoot I've turned in other Cabin's for Smoking Cigarettes on their Balcony. They ended up being Fined. Was anything else I would have also...

Agree, I'm sure it will be the only one. Same as most Hotels/Airlines

Though Oasis isn't scheduled Sail out of Asia

Ha! Was thinking, we haven't one of those type threads in a while

Yup, if is the larger Evian bottles Water is now same price as was Pre-CV and even what I got last Spring on Royal

Agree. Son In Law uses a Machine and been using long Ext Cord provided by Ship. Will share your advice with them as we are doing multiple Cruises this Fall. Thank you

Understand, Step Dad used machine his last 8yrs. Also my Son in Law has had one for last 2yrs, takes his on Cruises and he's only 34.
