No one has mentioned the $150.00 cancellation fee to cancel the booking. I think this is a significant con. I do book with them. I like their convenience, I'm still learning my way around Texas.

Oh yes, fellow cruisers and staff were awesome. I like the features of the M class ships.

Hi there, I was on the Constellation for a 12 day cruise in the Med in May. It was my first trip to Europe and I was solo. It was fantastic and the cruise allowed me to be comfortable traveling by myself. I enjoy eating in the dining room when I travel solo. I like the comradry of the fixed table-time feature this venue allows. If you find its not a good match, that can be changed. It took me only about two weeks after I returned home to book my next cruise.

I precooked my excursions last month for a Mediterranean cruise. I knew my choices were inappropriate after I was unable to complete the first one. I returned to the ship, got my tickets for the remaining excursions and exchanged them at the shore excursion desk.

They were able to suggest excursions suitable for my needs. They did use my credits to purchase the new excursions.

Shucks, these cabins fill up fast and there aren't a whole bunch of them. I'm saddened that these too are also booked by couples. Shame on you RCI for allowing this practice.

Hey, thanks for all that information. One more reason, I'm very happy I won't need to fly into the port for my next cruise (Dr. Pepper in the cabin.)

Winnie

Thanks Stu, I've talked to them. You knew not at the tables, they didn't. Winnie

no Dr. Pepper. It seems a shame, what's a Texan to do on the Liberty of the Seas after she's moved to Galveston for a liquid soda refreshment? No Dr. Pepper, yucky. it's just not right.

Let me get this straight, I can bring 2 bottles of wine per cabin on board, but no Dr. Pepper. I think it will be interesting to see how many of us will be having withdrawal symptoms on board. I wonder how many of us will get called to the naughty room for trying to smuggle that granddaddy of all sodas onto the ship. I hear many Texans will not travel without it.

I'm thinking this could be a new subject for a new thread.

Hello, here's some of the many things your grandparents may enjoy on their cruise.

The forward pool area is covered. The pool is heated salt-water and is mostly for adults. We enjoyed this area very much on our recent cruise to Bermuda. This is a real gem!

I was looking for some reading material in the library on the first sea day and I witnessed a very spirited game of Mar-johg (sp.) I also noticed a large collection of board games in the library's collection. By the way if a card or board game is a family favorite it might be wise to bring yours from home.

I enjoy Cafe Al Bacio. It has entertainment (a solo piano player) I enjoyed. There is no charge for all of those tasty bakery items they have in the case. They are delicious.

I noticed an umbrella in the cabin's closet for the sun if going for a walk.

There is a review of the 8-2-2015 cruise and they mentioned renting lounges & a umbrella for the beach. We just used the towels we had from the room.

Eating is a senior sport and they do have a wide range of different foods on board.

I think there is a wide range of activities on board. I'm glad you're interested in their having a grand time on your cruise to Bermuda.

I'm sure you'll be able to translate offerings of daily activities if they need help. They deliver a copy of the Daily Summit nightly to each cabin. Have a great cruise.

Have a great trip! The float plane excursions are lovely. It's awe inspiring to see an American eagle in flight. Your premium package gives you an opportunity to enjoy different wines you would like to try without the necessity to purchase of an expensive bottle of wine.

enjoy,

Winnie

THANKS for the info. It was late, I apologize to anyone offended. I'm just sorry there's smoking allowed in the casino.

I'M looking forward to this first cruise from GALVESTON. THANK you ROYAL CARIBBEAN.

Winnie from Central Texas

Sorry, I'm booked for the 11-13 cruise out of Galveston. I've been cruising on only Celebrity ships. I forgot RCI has a different smoking policy, what is it? Can someone smoke in the casino? Can someone smoke on their balcony? Can someone smoke on the pool deck? Gosh, what is their smoking policy?

thank you in advance,

Winnie

The ship's excursion to St John is so easy. No getting a taxi, or a ferry or all that goes with a private excursion. For not too much more the boat picks you up right there at the gangway and takes you to St John when your taxi waits for you. They have all the equipment for snorkeling and give you instruction if you have not done it.

The return is just as easy. I enjoyed this excursion very much because it was so easy!

Huh?

It seems like you wait to cruise Royal, go for it.

Winnie

No sacrifices necessary, you may bring as many diet Pepsi as you would like simply put a luggage tag on your cans before boarding.

Enjoy,

Winnie

AFT! You get 180degree view. We love 9162 on the Infinity. We were there for the summer solstice spent so much time on the huge balcony ended up with sunburn on our smiling faces. Thanks for letting me remember a beautiful memory. Winnie

Implement a new program as part of a refurbishment to offer single accommodations for solo travelers. Celebrity does need to step up to this issue. I'm sure you can make it work for your business model.

I know,I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Hi,

I think you may want to post this question on the family cruises forum they may have some answers to your question.

Have a great cruise.

Winnie

I'd take them for tours and on the ship before 6 o'clock, but after that I would feel uncomfortable wearing jeans as that's not smart casual. I could not even suggest it would be okay to wear them at dinner (other than at the buffet)

Have a great cruise!
