  1. I had the same experience when I tried to add my granddaughter to a Christmas booking. It was so expensive to add her, I passed. Forward to another booking a placed a few months ago, I made sure I booked my cabin as a TBD at the time, and a few days ago, I added my daughter to the booking. There was no extra charges added to the booking. So If solo for the cabin, always do a TBD for the second person. You can always cancel that TBD and you would get a credit of port charges .
  2. I pack for local cruises about a week or so before , As I am not flying , there is no hurry to pack. When I go on a plane or overseas,, I pack about 6 weeks before as I only do carry on only plus a tote and need to organize exactly what to take in that small space. It has worked out great. , no issues with lost luggage, and easy to navigate the area I'm going to.
  3. I loved it when I did it last year and I have a lasting memory every time I see the piece on my desk. Recommend it for a different experience
  4. SS1&2 have their beds facing the ocean. SS3 does not. There is a wall switch that works with a touch, to raise and lower the drapes, turn on and off the lights, both bright and dim . You must keep your cabin key in the slot when entering the room for it to work .
  5. I started as Elite when I transferred from Diamond on Royal Caribbean . It took me 12 years to reach. that plateau. In 2021 at the restart, ( my DH had passed ) and I needed to get out. So I started with Celebrity as a solo in sky suite around the USA. Not cheap, but I was happy to be sailing., Meet wonderful people onboard the ships and actually have new friends from the sailings . I reached the magic Elite Plus just recently . (double points for solos in suite). I have a whirlwind 2024 so far with 4 Celebrity Cruises , plus a 10 day Italy tour around the boot. Evenn with that, don't on't think I'll ever reach the top tier .
  6. Have to say I applied for my ship blocks as I went up the ladder. To date, have not received one. I am Diamond Plus. So good luck receiving .
  7. Location, Location, Location.on the ship That's what the letters represent. You can see if you're forward, mid, or aft.
  8. Nope, got all my OBC out, but not all at once. Took my time and always checked my account remaining balance. The last evening, rounded off as close as possible to close out the OBC. Gave it to my resort host.
  9. My tour to Cape Cod was cancelled last week. The Duck Tour was recommended , but unfortunately sold out. So I ended up doing a hop on - hop off tour of downtown Boston. Not Cape Cod, unfortunately, but will enable me to see the Boston highlights at my own pace.
  10. Reading all the reviews of Adventure of the Seas. I will be on her the end of September for a New England Cruise. I have been a Royal customer for many years and truthfully, food was alway blah. But cruised with a girls group and we always had a great time. This cruise was booked pre pandemic, and had a credit I had forgotten . Always wanted to see the changing of the leaves. It may or ,may not be my last Royal. Depends on how the cruise goes. I just became Diamond Plus in February. It took many yrs to get.here.. Now that I am older and free to travel ,I find I enjoy traveling without so many children , and Celebrity seems to fill that requirement. Hopefully I will get good vibes from this cruise and continue accordingly.
  11. there are usually taxis available when you exit the airport. Also you can pre arrange a car service to meet you. I use one here all the time, for pickups at the airport. they are available 24 hrs. Advise if interested .
  12. Apple air tags only work with Apple phones. There are other tags for other phone types. Remember, if you use the tile (Android) or the Samsung brand, it only works if the same type phones that are near your luggage.
  13. Sometimes we have to chill and just reflect. On Fathers day 2022, went on a weekend cruise on Freedom of The Seas. It was a cruise I had planned in 2020 to reminisce my husbands passing.and didn't want to cancel. . I didn't speak or hang around anyone, but enjoyed the quiet and relaxation with my memories. Glad I did it, but this is not my usual "cruise mode" I usually book excursions to get off the ship and meet and greet people. Always manage to make a friend or two.
  14. Sorry for your loss. Starting with home port cruise is a great start. . Once you acclimate yourself to cruising, spread your wings. I have alway found new friends while sailing. Some are long lasting too. I am leaving on RCCL Adventure of the Seas Sept 29 out of Port Liberty to see New England as I have never been there , and always wanted to see the changing of the leaves.
  15. Hello>. New to this site but happy to be here. My DH passed in June 2019 and with the pandemic , was home bound and going crazy for a year.and a half. When the cruise line reopened, I decided I could stay home and sulk, or go traveling. So far Ive taken 6 trips around the US to start and found that I absolutely loved getting away and meeting people.I have made some good friends (some married, some not) along the way and even booked a cruise with one of them (separate cabins-same cruise). Was nervous at first, but nothing to be nervous about. Enjoy the freedom of movement. Forging ahead, I have a RCCL New England cruise Sept 29, An overseas cruise with Viking (Amsterdam - Basil )in November, and a Christmas/New Years cruise on Celebrity.
  16. That wasn't true for me. My cruise came with free air. Before I booked anything, I asked my TA about upping to Business class. As she wasn't sure she gave me the phone # of Viking Air. Spoke to a nice person who asked where flying from, and I told her my choice or Airline. Unfortunately the price was too high for the flights and time Apparently they did not have a contract at that time with my airline of choice. . But she looked and did locate better flighst with good times and my cost was minimal in adding the business class. After I booked, Viking booked it and confirmed with seats.I picked. This was in May for a November Sailing.
  17. Best thing for me is 5 drinks a day (no need to purchase a drink program. also believe free laundry ( Im going on 9-12 night cruises, so that will help) Plus other things (free photo) that I have no use for. Took me almost 20 years to get there. I'll take it.
  18. Just got back from a3 day Fathers Day weekend. cruise on Freedom OTS Ended up not getting off ship , just eating in speciality restaurants and lounging poolside. Didn't even look over the ship. BUT I did get 6 points (only needed 3) and now officially Diamond Plus. My next cruise is 9 days to New England. Looking forward to that.
  19. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have read from page one your entire review and took pictures (too lazy to get up and write it all down) of your well described ports. I am going end(29) of September, 2022 (out of Cape Liberty on Royals Adventure of the Seas. Reading your fantastic review on all your ports, which is almost the same, has given me a great insight I didn't know before. This will be my first time going to New England .
  20. I am also traveling on Viking in November. There are many Mocktail drinks available for bartenders to make. I have 2 favorites, a virgin Miami Vice and a Virgin Sunset ( equal amounts orange juice, pinapple juice, cranberry juice over ice. Stir top with gernadine syrup , top with cherry. . Also virgin Daiquiri is delicious. There are many more. Ask the bartender to make you their personal version of a Mocktail.😊🍹Have a few more if you want them.
  21. I was on the Equinox sailing following a Covid breakout , on April 15. After a "deep clean" our cruise ended with only 4 covid cases for our 9 day cruise. So because there was a breakout, does not mean the next sailing will have the same thing , We were mandated to masks in Casino, Theatre and in ports. Everyone complied.
  22. Please keep us posted. We are on this ship Friday. 4/15 I am informing any revenant info you post to passengers.
