If I order an occasional soda at a bar with the DBP, they rarely ring it up. I usually give them a dollar anyway.

LIVE Tag Along with SteelCityCruiser 1/7/23
Coralc replied to SteelCityCruiser10's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I see that silly little tree on the sandbar is still holding on. ☺️ -
AARP sells them at a 10% discount, but from what I have read, they are a PIA to use. I don't know what sort of gift certificates the OP is referring to.

If your husband is serious about quitting. I am getting to that point. He should try acupuncture, hypnosis or Chantix at home. A vacation is not the best time to try quitting. But thanks for the warning about their sessions.

Going, going, gone sale - January 11/12
Coralc replied to ZoeyVictoria's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We haven't cruised in March before either, but decided to join some friends. Not only was the cruise kind of high, but the airfare returning from FL to CA is insane. We probably won't be doing it again. -
I can't believe how many people they have shown with their cars stranded in floodwater.....And they just drove right into it. 🙄 No one here knows how-to drive-in snow, or rain or floods. And you are correct, they will probably still complain about not enough water next summer. Or it will start again in 2024.

Thanks for asking. We're having great fun here. (Not) IT"S WET. Localized flooding, mudslides and trees down. We've been fine, and actually sat in the backyard with a neighbor for a couple of hours this afternoon. But the forecast looks like more miserable and dangerous. There has been local damage, but the house races haven't started yet. We are in the hills, and not close to creeks, so as long as we can keep power and the sump pump running, it should be okay. I only have small, well pruned trees in my yard. I am keeping an eye on a neighbor's uphill pine tree.

Family & toddler now, Bob? Congratulations! We haven't seen you for a long time. ☺️

Does Jewel of the Seas have Hibachi at Izumi?
Coralc replied to Herby's topic in Royal Caribbean International
No. It does not. -
Radiance does not have the Izumi Hibachi area with an upcharge. We like Izumi on Radiance; they have the Hot Rock or did. And their Samba Grill was great. Just don't fill up on the salad bar/. And silly. For ships that have the Hibachi venue, it is a $10.00 upcharge. Not bigtime at all. 🙄

As soon as you board, go to any restaurant and make reservations for your entire cruise. The reservation system is all connected. A tip would be to figure out where you wish to dine and what night and time in advance, and write it down, so you can just give it to the reservation person. Radiance has a lot of nice restaurants for a ship of its size.

Another cut being tested: Once per day cabin service
Coralc replied to Tenderpaw's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The ones on RC say something like "Sleeping off the Excitement" and "Out Enjoying the Thrills". I never looked at them as a request to make up the stateroom, just to let them know when your cabin is unoccupied. We like to sleep late, and don't really care if the cabin is made up once or twice a day. Fresh towels, bed made, and trash can empty, and we are satisfied. I suppose we could have "texted" them in Lake Tahoe to come and get the trash, and replace the towels, but it wasn't worth it. -
Another cut being tested: Once per day cabin service
Coralc replied to Tenderpaw's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I generally always tip hotel housekeeping $5/day. I didn't leave a tip at all for our last 2-night stay in Lake Tahoe in July, because there was no housekeeping service. You could only communicate with them by text, if you needed something. It was not my idea of service, for what we were paying. (Which was more than cruise costs) 🙄 -
Internet access on Transatlantic Cruises
Coralc replied to nycjewlz's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We had a lightning strike on one of the dishes on Navigator, so we had not much of internet or anything for six days. Except the same music videos, over and over again. 🙄 But I think that is rare. And it was quite a few years ago. ☺️
