  1. is this new merchandise? on BEYOND they had recycled handbags and clothes ..billed as high end, it still had a flea market feel and was very cluttered! This looks more orderly.. I do not buy used! Love the rainbow!
  2. smart..take the Veranda cabin..enjoy the real balcony and extra nights dining at Lawn Club..etc
  3. and many..too many "mistakes" are made. We check the on board acct daily, just like we check our accts at home. Guests should be given a copy of their signed or initialed authorization at time of purchase. Instead, it's all loosey goosey. Takes time to get charges corrected and causes bad feelings!
  4. nice for a party but only as a group.. too bad, dh likes the golf simulator but when he did it way back it was a one on one with advice from the ship's golf pro...that would appeal to him if the pro put together group...
  5. thanks for quick reply. We might do Tuscan, Lawn Club Grill and Murano for dinner. In addition to the Concierge Lunch first day, we are hoping for a seafood lunch at the buffet. We might do Sushi for lunch if they have non sushi for dh..he enjoyed Raw on 5 on E, great menu on E Class. Not sure abt the Porch..husb is allergjc to shellfish. Nice to have choices!
  6. great report.. We are booked for a short cruise on Silho in Dec 2024, Prime Concierge cabin with a real balcony. We won't need much storage for a few days clothes, and will likely book Specialty Rest incl Lawn Club Grill for dinner. Can you list the others? Are any open for lunch,? We have the Classic alcohol plan, so the soda in a can is fine, and we bring our own water. My husb drinks Coors lite, the scotch on the Classic, and basic wine with dinner so no issue there for him but he knows he can order whatever he wants and pay the upcharge. My Baileys will be a small upcharge, and I may try a small martini. Alcohol clashes with my meds so I allow for just a few treats.! Upgrading from Classic would not be a good value for us based on our usage. We are looking forward to being back on Silho. Were there at the beginning, and a few more times...but not for many years. hope you enjoy the cruise! thanks for the feedback!
  7. Wise decision.. esp if sharks are in the area. options: Day Pass at Hilton(?) walkable from ship, private once you arrive, nice view of ships, decent bar and lunch, unheated swimming pool Atlantis excursion or ferry over on your own.. A few nice places for lunch..walkable from ship .try google and port board. Not much else worthwhile nearby. Making it a ship day is okay too..as others get off, more space for you!
  8. please don't give X any wild ideas. the value is what folks are willing to pay for a smaller less chaotic dining room and othrr AQ perks. surprised this thread is so busy
  9. in EDEN..but no swim pool there,??
  10. we have not had an issue but def support quiet zones..esp in the solarium and thermal suite..snoring can be very loud
  11. the stores look touristy but after that so beautiful..your smile says it all!
  12. thanks..so Elite Lite bkfst is at the Bistro..a nice bright space but not as large as the Tuscan Rest. where it was held on EDGE and BEYOND.. great ongoing review..great info
  13. I could not eat these.. look raw! Most of the other fancy items do not appeal by their looks..that's why BLU is the better choice for us..Nice to have choices!
  14. great job with pics and commentary..nice and concise style. How much were the Celeb logo mugs?
  15. if OP uses the search feature of CC there are several long threads sbout these cabins. We had a middle SV on 7...It wss generally fine (large cabin nice balc , great views). But our next door neighbors had a running frat boy party for many friends, indoors and on the balc the entire cruise..only quiet was when they were out for meals or bar time! Luck of the draw!
  16. Caves are off my activities these days......As I get older, confined areas make me nervous. Our last waterfall and pools walk was in Dominica.. Very beautiful tropical environment, but I lacked enough energy to do the last downward hike..I waited at a bench for Sal to complete it. There was plenty of shade but heat and humidity def affect breathing and stamina.! Hope you are feeling better with your hydration routine.
  17. just hope for the best! we have cruised with many groups..most were ok including motorcyclists, but others did have neg impacts. With some we felt like unwanted outsiders as staff catered to the group members who took over!
  18. we bring small clip on insulated water btls, 2 tervis for lemonade etc, and a small brita filter pitcher for the stateroom..we try not to drink ship's water and can never be sure what water is on the Classic bev package..some of it is awful tasting
  19. sounds too out there for me.. i'd prefer another cruise date
  20. You can see if they have underwater cameras im photo dept..I know it sounds like heresy but they do a decent job..you can edit later
  21. That would be a low move but not a big surprise...X means very little to Royal other than E Class!
