There is shopping at the dock so until the construction in town is finished no need to go there. 

We  were in St Thomas in September 2018 and the downtown area was a mess.  So are you saying, it still

isn't worth a stop down there? Going in November.  

That is good to hear  We are thinking of doing the same thing on our Dec cruise because we have a late evening flight.

Any tips on what not to miss "roaming around" the area? Were you able to walk to the French Quarter?

thank you both for your information.  we just need to "store" our luggage and then get transferred to the airport for a late evening flight.  I'll check into your options also.  thanks again!!!

What do you need to say to him that cannot wait until you get on the ship?

If you must know: we cruise very frequently and have come to know certain waiters and when we cruise on their ship again, we sometimes email to request a table in their section. Sometimes they accommodate and sometimes not!

So it’s as simple as that. Enjoy your evening now!😊

The best way is to use rcldining@rccl.com and they will forward to the appropriate crewmember on the ship.

Thank you for your prompt and courteous reply 😏

Has anyone done Carnival's "shore excursion" to the French Quarter on the morning of debarkation? It sounds good since we have a late flight that evening, however,

it seems as if they put your luggage on a bus, then you are expected to walk to the FQ and tour for a few hours then meet up at a designated place for pick up and 

transfer to the airport? Is the FQ really that close to the pier?  I'd appreciated advice from someone who has done this excursion  Thanks for your help...

I used to know how to email the maître d of each ship, but I seem to have lost the email address.

Can anyone help?  Thank you!!!

You can also dry your shorts. 😂 I spotted this during the suite sail away, on the heli-pad. 

 

 

 

thanks for that helpful tip LOL

Again, thanks all!!

Thank you 😀

We just booked rooms 9102 and 9104. Anyone been in those rooms that can tell me if the window is the round one or a rectangular type ?

thank you!

So I called Royal and after some questioning, "are you sure you didn't order room service?"" how about ordering drinks to your room?" etc? They finally agreed to delete the charge.  So how it happened, I have no clue. Just watch your statements after cruising.  :)

I was charged for bottle of water which I did not drink.  It was on counter not in mini bar.  They gave me credit after I got home and called.

we did have water on the mini bar which we used 2 I believe, however, we are diamond plus and each bottle had a paper tag around it 

that said "compliments of crown and anchor"  I'll call today and let you know what they say

That’s what I thought. 🤔but just got off today and am at airport and received my statement via email. Grrrrrrr

Watch your final statements. Just got off symphony and was charged 7.70 for mini bar. There is NOTHING in the mini bar 

I thought they had addressed that issue??

We booked the 3 night dining package for our Symphony of the Seas cruise. On the Oasis, they booked our first night for us(once on board we changed the restaurant) and then made reservations for the other 2 nights.  Can we make all of our dining reservations in our cruise planner before boarding? Not sure how that works, but thanks in advance for your help, as usual.  

thanks, bob!  :)

Going on Symphony in January.  Anyone know what "perk" ( wine? lunch?) comes with this balcony?  thanks!!

We were also on this sailing. We are diamond plus. We used our cards at various bars for the 3 drinks loaded on seapass then several nights went into the diamond lounge and had no problem getting additional drinks. I’ll add that we really enjoyed this cruise and were happy to see a live orchestra and the entertainment was excellent. 

thank you!  Very helpful info.

The price in the daily planner is $11.99 but it leads you to believe the price will be higher once on board.

I usually book  on board to use my diamond plus discount.  Does anyone know the recent daily

prices on board AOS?  

Just got off the phone with an agent at Royal I acted as if I wanted to book the March 16, 2019 cruise on Grandeur. He told me it was in a "code red" which means they are taking no bookings because it is scheduled for dry dock. I asked him about a time frame for notifying guests who are already booked and he told me there "really isn't any time frame" but I'm sure the notifications will be going out. :confused:

That's some real good information there.:mad: I don't want to cancel my cruise because they MAY offer something to switch to a different cruise, but I need some advance notice for my work schedule. Come on Royal, make some decisions here!!!

We just booked Grandeur for the March 16,2019 sailing this past Thursday through a travel agent. Hmmmmmm. Wonder when royal intends to inform everyone?
