ONECRUISER

Covid lows, not likely see Teens again.

Yup, on a 15nite and Two Panama Canal 16nite Cruise in next 17months, no UDP offered. Longest offered is a 5 nite Dining package

Look/click on the 2 smaller pictures below the inaccurate larger one above: https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/stateroom-details.php?ship=Brilliance-of-the-Seas&cabin=4017

Agree, 3 Cruises this Fall and Early Main Dining one has 5, another 530 and 3rd at 6. 2 are on same Ship different weeks. Same with Late Dining, all different times. Happens to me at least 1-2 a yr week to week on B2B time changes...

Yeah think on couple older Ships Royal removed them also. Ever since they use Centrum for things everyday they need the extra space

Nice! Thought this white coat for wear on Formal Nites in Main Dinning... Always liked the thin Summer style Royal Robes over the older thick Winter type. Was 2 of each in my Suite before CV, funny thing is travel SOLO as always and don't wear them.

Nice! Was on Sun(and Sky) 22+ yrs ago. Before Royal had it was first Cruises took that had Freestyle(eat when you want) and 10 Restaurant Choices. Did like NCL had Pepsi Brand Vending Machines onboard with 16.90z bottles to purchase...

Agree, was Rest/Bar Manager and I was tight. We always made our Liquor, Food and Labor Costs...my Bonus/Profit Sharing depended on it. Free Drinks, was a couple and they were gone

Common for few yrs on the Radiance Class I Booked, Insides/OV same or more then Balcony Cabins. During startup I was getting Balcony Cabins for $50-70 a Day, this with my SOLO 340+ Discount. OV/IN were lot higher

Nope, nothing new. When Ships run 108%+ Capacity prices go up. When my Kids were young we could only Cruise Sept-Oct and Jan-Feb. A typical Royal Cruise then in Summer time $799-999 each for first 2, $1099-1399 for Passenger 3-4. This in an OV Cabin. Cruises I Booked last yr for this yr have doubled in price as Ship's are almost sold old. Full Ship, and with Inflation prices are up like everything/everywhere else

OK, it's too bad. Royal Ships I been on they do make you sign for each free Drink. Lists number available rest that day, 6, 5, 4, 3.. as you get them

Were they charging/giving Free Drink with someone you are traveling/sitting with? Don't think really a common issue, know never happens to me... Just pay atten every time you sign slips, look at free count and save them

Should look at Live Cam right now, 4 Hi lifts working on her now.

Agree, very common and Pilot be fine. Growing up around 3 SAC Bases then in Military seen low flying training for 50+ yrs myself.

When did Full Canal on Serenade last Fall was watching the Mules almost constantly adjusting Tension in/out on the Cables. Thought same, though rare it might snap... Took us lot longer get threw end to end then you did today, was pitch Black when we got done and we started hrs earlier in am. Funny thing I mentioned before was only 13 days from LA to Tampa and we adjusted Clocks 8 times! This for Time Zones and to match Port Stops. When Radiance returns San Diego to Tampa this Oct it's longer at 16nites for us but only 5 Port stops

Agree, was watching them painting Hull for about 15hrs yesterday.

Agree, no overhang/protection compared to any other Cabins in Middle Aft from Sun/rain. Spent 250+ nites in this Cabin on Brilliance, Serenade and Jewel with another 70 in next 18months. I love Cabin myself, Quiet, nobody walks past Cabin as its in Corner off the Halls and I'm a Sun Worshiper. If in Carib when Sun shines on it have keep curtains shut as Air Conditioner cant keep up... Edit: Must been partial issue with seal but one Cruise raining so hard against my Balcony door my Carpet got wet from Door to edge on my Bed. Had a Blower drying it for 3 days, but FCC received was equivalent of 6+ days worth. We were in Port and was hardest rain I ever experienced on a Cruise

Dbl post

Wasn't there one sailing while back where someone got bumped off? Think they'd booked it last min and made them 1st off

Nope, several times with 3 Kids and 2 parents we had one Kid assigned with Grand Parents. Though all 5 us stayed and slept in our OV Cabin.

On Cruises different times in past had US Jets Buzz us in Caribbean. One was 2 F-14's and was right after Top Gun came out in 80's. Other time was a F-16 flying low and loud. Third time happened when a B-2 flew over our Ship during Air Show at Ft Lauderdale, that was 20+ yrs ago. Had a low flying B-29 go over my home right before Covid, now that was pretty Kool!

Been few yrs for Brilliance but think same as Jewel and Serenade with some Books back near Colony Club and Pool Tables

Yeah I remember they asked for it once or twice in early 2000's. Was Active then and always carried my ID since

Yes, the 70+ was brought up back when the Talk ending Paper. Sometime last year

Agree, no name checks I've seen but have Age limits on excursions like a Min of 15yrs old and Max 70yrs old
