Got off the Harmony , january 3rd sailing, had Jeremias and Elaine 

That’s who we had last week. Neither mentioned any upcoming vacation  

If I put my feet heal to toe, one of my feet sticks out of the shower. Bring large towel type clips to hold shower curtain out into the bathroom. Yes your floor will get wet. Your choice, a wet floor or a butt clinging curtain. The water will drain back. 

new offers came out 2 days ago

Serenade - Mario Reyes was to go the CL and JJ to the DL

Mario did move to CL but JJ went on vacation. Sorry, don’t know who took DL (we just got off).

The post you may have seen on another social media regarding the Vision DL was confusing.  The decision to make the CL an SL is on a cruise by cruise basis on Vision. The Pinnacle and D+ numbers have been too high for that tiny lounge to accommodate people, even with the overflow into the VCL.  New Orleans and the VI itineraries have proven to be very popular with the frequent cruisers.

74 P’s this week.

Huh? He was at the concierge desk. What rumor/discussion?

It was not on this forum (FB) and when no facts or first person accounts were put forth the moderator shut down the discussion. It involved two employees.  So having heard nothing further I assume it was an unfounded rumor. Unfounded rumors are common on social media, unfortunately.

He was in the Diamond Lounge on my Symphony 11/17/18 sailing.  I stopped in to see him.

Not officially. We saw the rumor. Then we saw the discussion get shut down and no one came forward with facts. So who knows?

Found this out the hard way...I will shop around and book directly with the cruise line, airline and hotel!

I think you may have misunderstood the previous poster. A good TA will charge you the same price as the cruise line and then throw you some extra benefits. Mine rebates part of his commission to me. He also watches for price drops and automatically applies them for me. Why would I want to book direct and not get these things when the direct price would be the same to me and the cruise line gets to keep the difference?

So do we have some hints on the other captain for Oasis? Inquiring minds want to know!

Funny you should ask. I just happened to ask the captain tonight. Unfortunately I forgot the name but he said he was coming from MJ. Makes sense because Per left here for MJ.

Oh, OK. I read some of the posts differently. I guess then he will be getting on when we get on on the 16th. My signature Chocolate Martini will be on his desk when he arrives at his desk, assuming he starts his shift at 12 noon, which is customary.

 

 

 

CptSticky, are you on-board this week, and continuing next week? Eloise and I will be on for three weeks starting this Sunday.

We get off for one week but will be back on the 23rd and the 30th.

Truffles, (sorry I don't know your real name) if you read this this week, would you tell Federico that his Chocolate Martini is on its way and will be delivered by special courier on Sunday, Sept. 16? He'll know what this means.

 

Thank you, Mike

Federico is not onboard yet.

hold on folks, straight line 70 mph winds last night, we have many downed trees and power went out about 8 pm...not supposed to get it back until 11:30 pm Friday night. Good thing we have a generator but we don't run it all the time. The farm's tool shed was blown onto the neighbors garage, both demolished and the irrigation pivot is all twisted, good thing there's insurance. Calf hutches blew away, leaving the calves. They're not hurt but we had to round them up to put in an extra pen. Good thing we had an empty one. I'll post the chart when we get power back.

Wow. Sorry to hear. Makes me more and more thankful that I found a sucker, er I mean buyer for my avocado grove last Spring. Got really tired of winds, frost, fires and the list used to go on and on.

Anyway, glad you are safe and yes, great to have insurance. Not everything we went through was covered but it was really nice when they were. And thanks to the taxpayers who helped with the insurance.

No, it's not dependable. If they do contact you, it's usually during the cruise before yours.

 

 

 

And almost never P’s even though they have similar status. However, if there is a question or need they can initiate the email instead of waiting.

Now I'm confused. ha! My next is on the 2nd so I should know soon enough.....

Well then you will know before me and can come back here and update us.

I'll find out for sure on 09/02 because I'll visit both lounges (or this weekend when I get the concierge welcome letter).....and yes, she goes by Beatrice. Just checked the spreadsheet and it looks like Lyli is up there now......It was Claudine & Lyli last time for me and Beatrice was in the DL....

 

 

 

Last week it was Claudine in the DL, Lyli & Beatrice in the SL. Fredirico on vacation. Last Sunday Lyli left for vacation and Fredirico was scheduled to return. So this week it should be Beatrice in DL. If it didn’t happen this way I can correct on the 9th (my next).

My partners and I have limited posting access to the Google Doc to the 3 of us. It is read-only to everyone else.

 

We had some problems with people adding pages and other stuff by mistake or even putting nasty stuff on the Google Doc like "Piss of the Seas."

 

If you have updates or changes, please post them on this Cruise Critic Thread and we will update the Google Doc.

 

I'm sure your intentions are good but we have been maintaining the thread and the Google Doc and have found that limiting posting access to the 3 of us is the best way to keep the Google Doc clean.

I’m sure most of us understand. Those who don’t haven’t experienced social media enough. BTW, thanks for all the work involved and please pass that along to the other two.

I changed the rotation date to the 19th...there have been some 11 week and 13 week rotations recently with this ship so it must be payback time

This is his last week. Quite a show at top tier. They turned the fountains on him. Then ice buckets and finally handed him a Speedo. Which he put on over his uniform. Then postured.

Sue, here is the current for OA: in SL, Beatrice & Lyli until Sept when Lyli goes on vacation. Then it will be Federico & Claudine. DL is currently Claudine. In Sept Beatrice goes to DL. There are 4 of them and they rotate.

Is anyone else having trouble getting email to/from Concierge? I have emailed two different ships and have not gotten a reply from either. I would think it was in my end but I know other emails I sent around that time did transmit. So just curious if anyone else was having an issue.

I received an email from Lyli on OA last Friday in answer to my email.

Sent from my iPad using Forums

It's both. There are tabs at the bottom......one for CL/SL and the other for DL.

Hi Sue. Are you guys burning up back there? Crazy updates (they haven’t taken me off the email list yet (County Fire). I’m on OA Sunday. Do you guys need updates for her or are you good?

Sent from my iPad using Forums

Just off OA, DL Claudine Benjamin, SL Beatrice Chirmus

Just received an email from Lyli. The address was the number 1 concierge. I assume she is also in the lounge?

Since the compression bags that I'm aware of use vacuum cleaner suction to compress, how do you

 

accomplish that aboard? :confused:

You could “bribe” the room steward or roll them up and sit on them.

For those reading the laundry topic be aware that Royal Caribbean do NOT have self service laundry. They do have ship’s laundry and on full cruises they offer a Wash-n-fold bag (all the socks, underwear etc that fits) one price.

Checked the website, still the JS we booked.

 

You mean Royal’s IT dept is not reliable? [emoji23]

Last month on AD in a JS the concierge sent out the suite welcome letter. He admitted his mistake.

You would want to check HAL's site for forbidden items, but based on other lines I've sailed the issue is surge protection and a non-surge protected strip would be fine. You will likely need an extension cord for the CPAP machine too, but again double check what is allowed on HAL (also if you can carry-on the distilled water or need to purchase from the ship).

Don’t know about HAL but Royal will provide an extension cord for a CPAP if requested through special needs ahead of time.
