ONECRUISER

Nope not always as others said on here and not on my 9 Cruises last few Months. Been only able to select Checkin-Arrival at 30days inc B5B I started this wk. Still I would check daily 45-30 in case. Not that matters, 2 Ports and was on the Ship before earliest Arrival time. This week picked 11am, was onboard at 1030. A rare surprise

As said 45, sometimes 44/43, but picking Check in time usually 30days. On a Longer Panama Canal 10+ niter so last Sunday I had to show CV Neg Test, but this was a picture of me holding Test was all required

Traveling, Cruise or Flights most Holidays so when bring along presents I use Gift Bags rather then wrapped

Agree. Even just couple yrs ago an email to them would get response in couple wks. My last one in June took 7wks to hear back from them

Yes it is, just checked and WOW too pricey for me! But that's like almost everything else in last 2-3yrs

Sorry, hope it all works out for you.

Agree, counting this one I've seen Royal use 4 Piers in last 5yrs myself, though don't think Oasis Class would ever use anything besides 18

Weather, Ship/Mechanical, too many Ships at stops, just because Royal wants to... Yes, and many more. Had dozens of Port and Itinerary Changes. At least 1/3 of them were in last 2yrs. Except for these most time I didn't get choice to change or OBC

Havent had to wait for my card for Muster check in, paper copy boarding pass has been issued at check in before getting on Ship

Last few Cruises I was on so early the Muster stations were not set up yet. 3 days ago they didnt start until Noon, I was on at 1030, Even few months ago I was on at 11, Crew didnt show til 1120. Every time except once they scanned my Card, no Life Jacket Demo provided or needed

Agree or even day or 2 less. On B5B right now and could do all at 43-45 but pick Pier check in time until 30days out

For Dinner and after for others. Been on 8 Halloween Cruises myself

Just used a Free Govt Home Test yesterday and my Daughter taking a picture of me holding it showing Negative. No issues or Questions with Boarding today on my 13n Panama Canal.

I've been to at least 3(might b 4) of them on Royal last 22yrs, that I know of. One last times I came in Port Everglades Pre-CV there was 3 Royal Ships there that day in 2019 or 18. One at 18, one parallel on outside at 25 and third was 90 degrees one next to 18(#19 I think). Just interesting leave from 18, came back we were not. Didn't bother me as non-driver.

Haven't Parked at this Port in 20+ yrs, Flown in since. Funny thing is 1/4 the yrs Cruising out Port Everglades on Royal we left and returned to a totally Different Pier, this on non-Oasis Class of course

As said watch above thread, it will let you know when Dates are released. Release is usually spread out between Nov-April

Until this yr have only done longer 10+ niters on Radiance Class inc Dozens on Serenade. At most we had 1750-2000 passengers never once remember hitting 100% Capacity let alone the 108%+ average Royal Ships were Pre-CV. Many Solo travelers like myself, few Families and about 50 Kids(usually less). Never once had issue finding a Seat in Theater or WJ, exception is of course Centrum and the tiny Movie Theaters where miss the 2 larger ones Sovereign was built with

Normally not an issue

As said no Luggage valet available yet, if option to check Bags at Curb so you dont have go threw Check in Line. Now if Date was 2 wks earlier or later possible issues having done dozen Cruises getting off right after Thanksgiving and 22-23 DEC where line was out the door at FLL several times

True. Pre-CV Cruises on Serenade and Brilliance I've done were all 10-16 niters and Repo's where 2-3 Lounges, inc Safari, were usually used for Diamond overflow. Diamond then used only by Diamond+. Not many other areas left for non-Upper Tier Members except Centrum, which wasn't originally used as much until they added the no longer done aerial shows.

Yes, done 8 Repo longer Cruises on Radiance Class over Halloween and even though 50 or less kids at least 1/3 Adults dressed up and was really big deal

Added Restaurants choices was one I remember. Was listed on a CC Thread but really old ones are not available anymore

Yes, Agree. Radiance Class was designed to combine the best of Vision and Voyager Class's

Agree, last time I did later Flight at FLL was 5 or 6hrs for First Class, only 3hrs for Main Cabin

Slightly different weather but I was in Alabama almost 3 Decades ago when the Storm of the Century hit(Snow Storm/Blizzard)
