I think I read the price was lowered to $39 for port days, and maybe a bit more for sea days. No more $90. I read it elsewhere, so maybe someone can check that’s on board.

I agree, and for those that don’t have to fly, it’s a good way to build up points. Some people in Florida do the same short cruises over and over to the same destinations.

I saw a couple of YouTube videos that said MP was cancelled, but not sure if it was all groups cancelled, meaning Royal excursions, independent.

There is a refundable choice (more expensive), but you have to go through the booking page, filling out traveler info, and the last page will offer things like prepaid gratuities, dining, refundable fare, etc. Suites are non refundable. If you cancel on an NR fare, you lose $100pp, and the rest will be held for another booking. If you choose not to rebook another cruise, you lose full deposit.

Many have had luck (I know 2 personal situations) going to dining room about 6-6:15 and seeing if you can be seated. They backfill empty tables from early traditional. They don’t have a separate dining room anymore.

I never take my picture beforehand, since they seem to always retake at the port. It’s not mandatory.

I have sailed the Ovation numerous times and there were always kettles in the cabin. Last year coming from Australia (B5B), they were on the first 3 legs until we got to Hawaii and they started removing them. My stewardess left mine since I was on for 2 more legs and I asked. It seems like such a waste of time to remove and put back depending on where they’re sailing to and from.

Yes, this is the best way. You will share one login, but both of you can be logged in at the same time.

If only the Seattle-Yokohama was leaving just a few days earlier. I’m on the Carnival Panorama Singapore-Long Beach on Oct 12 and would have definitely booked the Seattle-Yokohama and then flown to Singapore. A lot shorter flight.

He is a she. That’s right, a female golden retriever named Rover is now living on board Icon of the Seas. In a short video posted on Royal Caribbean’s social media channels, the line introduced Rover as “everyone’s favorite new crew member” and “family dog” of Icon of the Seas.

I’m a solo traveler and never eat in the MDR. When I eat, I like to be left alone and control my portions. I always find something I like in the Jammer, and if I want to try something new, I can just take a little bit and not waste a lot. I can eat quickly and be off to do other things. I have noticed it’s starting to get more crowded, and sometimes it can be a game of dodging other humans while getting food, but I usually go when it first opens for dinner, so it’s not to bad.

If you go to the website, the cruise does not come up. If you are talking about Quantum, the cruise is cancelled for everyone. Even if the reps try to book it, it will not go through.

I think that sail date is same as Ovation….weird. I see nothing coming up for Quantum on Royal website for Oct/2024.

Quantum or Ovation?

Unless that gets cancelled too…

I have used this technology back in 2021 on Carnival Panorama, but you had to hit the deck number for each person in your party. It’s just me, so it was simple. I never had any issue with anybody messing around with it. Of course, I saw plenty of confused people, so I would always stop to help. I thought it worked very well.

There have been so many rumors about a Quantum class ship going to Los Angeles, so anybody’s guess is as good as mine. I’ve given up guessing what Royal will do with their ships 😉

Here’s a short https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kul1I2m5ehQ

I saw a YouTube video of somebody on the Icon, and after you push the button, it displays A-F (or however many elevators there were). You walk over to that elevator, which is marked on the outside and wait for it. There are no buttons on the inside of the cars. I sure you could check YouTube and see exactly how it works.

Two threads going on this

This was the option to change to in the email, but it won’t be going to Lahaina.

Yes, I read on roll call and Reddit post, passengers got a cancellation email. I’m wondering if they are redeploying it somewhere else.

There is only one package on Royal. Voom Surf and Stream. As mentioned, both full World cruisers and Quarter World cruises got added benefits. The 17 leg segment cruisers paid for extras. Voom usually runs $16.99-19.99ish per day, pre cruise.

I gave up trying to get pics of fast creatures. Now I just flip to video and use that.

There is no Navigator class. Maybe Voyager? The Navigator is part of that class.
