  1. but also less pleasant for dining we lucked out with dinner on a beatiful night..smooth seas, nice sky!
  2. noted in my folder! EDEN cafe has quite a few treats. at.no extra charge
  3. that's what we hope to arrange on APEX..either Tuscan or Cyprus.. early dining time, same window table and wait staff..works best for us. (Only planning on 2 Specialty nights out..EDEN and FINE CUT)
  4. agree. most we have received recently is abt $200
  5. if u use a Celeb linked credit card( or BOA Royal card) you get points for your purchases...double if it's used for cruise related charges like excursions, dining etc. These points convert to OBC that you can apply for. I forget the pt equiv, but we usually get around $200 OBC or a reduction in final payment.
  6. did you get off at any ports? reactions?
  7. it is an amazing piece of kinetic art..highlighted at the beginning of the Art and Architecture Tour.
  8. maybe Le Petit Chef..as a group might be fun. I think Rooftop Grill and EDEN might work ok with advance discussion with maitre d.. Fine Cut, Bistro on 5, and Raw on 5 probably not the best due to layout but it never hurts to check!
  9. that's what we would do.. The ship's tours have always worked well for us..esp if the places visited are distant from the pier. Good equipment and guides.
  10. bad situation but safety comes first. hope dtr seeks support for self and her dtr from a dom violence agency if attys say ok.. Maybe Trvl agnt can postpone cruise dates?,
  11. no way to tell...esp at this point for us We drove to the port and did not use the shower at our pre- cruise hotel... looked grungy! But we did shower daily on board....and then drove home .. west coast Fl..
  12. It was started initially for small group ambiance... and was much.less about the drinks. Now with large #s of eligible cruisers including many Royal Diamond Crossovers, it's more about the free drinks. Some cruisers skip buying alc packages and try to rely on this program and other freebies. Having alc availability at bars and a few actual get togethers seems like a good compromise to us.. We buy our package and do not go to the bars for our perk, but enjoy the get togethers.
  13. It is likely that family hrs in the Solaruum are here to stay. Efforts might better be focused on urging pool.mgrs to strictly enforce those set hrs..Then everyone knows the rules and can rely upon them. AND, the ship should follow health guidelines/ limits on ages for children in hot tubs at all pool area. They are not heated kiddie pools!
  14. thanks....would vinegar work?
  15. In AQ Class on Ascent it was all CO Bigelow pump btls but we asked for extra bar soaps to use in the shower. The products provided were shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion. I bring my own trvl size hair products.
  16. After reading the letter,..maybe we did have it. .Never had such terrible muscle aches cramps..very bad sides of body, neck and shoulders..No way to know and we are quite over it now. Going to clean our shower head. We do the sinks but never thought of the showers..
  17. def no such lights when we were there. We were in AQ /Blu, and frequented EDEN . Darkness was even discussed on our Art Tour.. maybe needed repair! thanks for explaining it..much better with lights than Beyond
  18. We were on Ascent 1/28. Luckily we. did not have that illness, but both of us had a terrible flu like something.. congestion ..muscle aches etc after we got home .It .was not Covid but awful.. No way to know where we picked it up. Drove home from port, stopped for gas and pizza later..and next day BOOM!
  19. Your photos are very vibrant and full frame.. Are u using a regular camera or phone camera? We hated this transit area..it was soo dark...Now I see from your photo that there were apparently lights that were not turned on whenever we went through.. Much diff look and visibility!! your photo my pic from ASECENT CRUISE 1/28
  20. some ports or tours rec sunscreens that do not contaminate the seas..you would have to google for exact info...
  21. the app has never worked on our old Samsung Android devices so we could not comply.. In Jan for Ascent, my husb printed out our boarding passes from our Cruise page, and we answered health ques at the pier. They also took the photo at the pier Hope this is not a new MUST!
