And No. Prior to the pandemic most nights they opened the Music Hall as the overflow. On my 3 Anthem sails since the pandemic and the change to the HH drink policy easily to get seats without the opening of the Music Hall.

There is also a partial reduction in the C&A balcony discount. For instance, wham I use the promo code my D+ balcony discount is reduced from $250 to $188. Also, have seen the reduction to $177.

When I used to travel for business, I used gray duct tape on my black luggage with an X and always able to see the bag coming down the conveyor.

You might as well just get rid of the CL as there's very little attendance based on my most recent experiences. Since the end of the pandemic Oasis (4), Anthem (3), Allure (2) & Mariner. On Mariner, they used the library and on Oasis the Jazz (before converting it to non-smoking casino) room for the Pinns.

Here’s mine🤣

Does that mean that you will be missing from this board and active on the Viking board with the rest of the elites.😉

Not the same. As far as I know this is the only Q class without an indoor pool.

The proper avenue would be for Royal to charge the shipping of the 2 bags to the individual who made the mistake. Royal knowing what happened should have subsidized the wronged individual. One time I made a mistake as I was in a hurry and walked out with the wrong bag. I did not realize it until I was out of the terminal. Spoke immediately to a Custom officer and was told no one is allowed until all passengers are out. I needed to make a flight and decided to have Royal ship it to me. My bad and I paid for it. The other frustrating part is that when I called to make shipping arrangement, I was never told that the shipping company would not take CC, Cash or personal checks. The delivery person only wanted a certified check and had to come back the next day to re-deliver the bag. Now I have some of the ugliest bags that look like a cow and can be spotted a mile away. On my last 2 cruises my bags were left some 15+ cabins away and I was able to spot the bag immediately😜 I also have pom poms attached to the handle.

I've been lucky and fly the same day from Florida ports. This is the first time out of Galveston and have a 5:45 United flight on the same day.

Just booked R/T from Bush Int'l to RCL cruise terminal thru Galveston Express in early December and it cost me $65 ($32.5 x2). Booked times that fit my arrival and departure times. Ps. Prior to making these reservations, I called Royal CS for pricing and just general information regarding times available--R/T was $79.90 but not much info on times. Sometimes they wait until bus is loaded before departing.

So, I'm assuming you are ready to move on from Royal with such dissatisfactions.😜

I do know that the Aqua & Ice show have areas reserved for Suites, P, D+ & Key. However, one needs reservations. My understanding is that Royal maintains 25% available for on board reservations. Usually there's staff in Boleros for reservations. As an instance, on Oasis all of the adult comedy shows were sold out. One night we went to the standby line. Before they opened the door, there were twice as many in the standby line as there were in the reservation line. Everyone got it in. The Blaze room is oddly configured with a bar in the middle of room.

I guess we could go back to the Stone Age of cruising. That's the way it was when there were no established lounges. Hey, I still have some Royal swag from trading for Shipshape $s.🤣

On the off year, which date do you celebrate. My wife was a leap year baby and we celebrated both the 28 & 1st.🤣

However, if you are on Oasis your view from the front open solarium is much better than the Odyssey's 2X70, especially if one leaves out of Bayonne and the view of NYC skyline. Here's an idea, see if you can do a BtoB out of Bayonne as Symphony leaves and replaced by Odyssey. My only problem with Odyssey is that it does not have an indoor pool which is a downer when sailing in the cooler months from Bayonne.

I like 6:30. On Oasis CP opened at 7 and I usually wound up in the WJ and get a fresh made to order omelet.

Try linking all of the reserves and then try re-booking MTD. If having problems, go to the MDR as soon as you board and speak to the Maitre D to get your times. On my recent Oasis sail, although MTD started at 6:45, they were seating some much earlier. I had a passenger seated by us and he told us that he was on MTD but he had same table and times each night. Was more traditional than MTD.

If its refundable, GS will give you the cash equivalent. I use any OBC towards grats. and any on board expenses.

However, on board bookings get re-priced at a higher price.

I'm an early riser myself and at the track at 5:30. The promenade is a ghost town at that time.

At least you were notified by a letter, we found out the first night when we saw the sign as you enter the MDR.

On my October Oasis sail, there was more of a line at Starbucks than at the DL.😄

My invoice (Oasis) said 5:30, but the app states 5 and seated no later than 5:15PM. We had dinner at the 3rd deck MDR which is also used for MTD.

I don't visit the DL sine the traditional dining was moved up to 5, however I do visit for my morning, afternoon and evening decaf cappuccino. As previously posted, I have one and take it to my cabin after having been fleeced at the Casino.🤣🤣

Did not see calamari on the Dinner menu on my recent Oasis sail. However, the minestrone soup went very well with the antipasti plate. I haven't had the opportunity to eat at the other Giovanni's.
