If you can get to Guest Services, they'll give you some. I get it bad even when the seas are smooth so I know that feeling. I hope you feel better in the morning. Is your mom ok?

Yes, I am aware that we don't all have the same preferences. Just stating my thoughts.

I'm surprised that people who can spend that for a week would even want to be on a cruise ship with 7k people. That's the kind of money where you can plan a very personalized vacation that doesn't include bumping elbows with people trying to get around a ship.

Hold times have not been long at all lately.

Pick another sailing. Click the person icon on the top right of the app ‐--> select a different cruise ---> browse our ships --> Indy of the seas, pick the latest sailing. The attire should be the same for your cruise.

No, I never did. Didn't know how it all worked until reading this thread.

My mother-in-law gives us those AmEx prepaid cards for Xmas and birthdays. I was using them towards a 2020 cruise that I booked in 2018. Well, even after lift and shift, my husband wasn't comfortable going so we canceled. They refunded everything to the original cards...including the AmEx cards. When I didn't see the full amount in my account, I remembered. Talked to Royal and was told nothing could be done as money is refunded to the original form of payment and to contact AmEx. Of course, I no longer had the cards as this is now like 3 years after booking the cruise. Lesson learned. I'll never use prepaid cards to pay for a cruise again.

60 minutes of riding with maybe a 5-10 minute safety talk

Sure hope this cruise isn't during hurricane season.

So then you'd have to get 5 people to PC? My nerves would be shot dealing with the airline people, renting a car or going back home to get your car and the drive to PC. Sounds worse than just getting a hotel room!

Love the aft! This Thanksgiving will be our 2nd time in 1400 on Deck 10 (Indy). As far as the long walk, I need all of the steps I can get so I treat the longer walk like exercise. And I have terrible motion sickness. Even in calm seas, it can be bad. I have never been less sick in any specific part of the ship. I say keep it especially for 3 nights!

It's just not as much of a hassle as you make it sound. We all still have to stop and show identification anyway. You check in as individuals so it's not like they're asking you anything about the "3rd person." That person not being there does not hold anything up.

But I don't think you're required to fill out anything on the app beforehand. You can do everything at the port if you so choose.

"Royal Caribbean International requires guests to be checked in no later than 60 minutes prior to the scheduled sailing time*. No-show.

We spend lots of time on the balcony as we're not "sit around the pool" people. I'm so looking forward to my corner aft balcony on Indy in Nov. I have lots of magazine reading to do!

It's available to book for my Nov cruise.

If I come outside and my car is not in the driveway, I will say that someone stole it. I don't need to retrace my steps or think that I misplaced it. Someone stole it. If she had jewelry in her suitcase and it's now gone, she can speculate that someone stole it. It's a known fact that we live amongst thieves. I appreciate her reminder to not put things of value in checked luggage at any time.

I had such a good time on your cruise! Thank you for taking the time out of your vacation to bring smiles to others. Give our best to B!

You know a reviewer is good when you say to yourself, "Damn, I'm gonna miss that review because I'll be on Indy of the Seas over Thanksgiving!" Lol

Tell us who so we can hope all their future cruise food is lukewarm at best! 😅 I'm excited for this cruise but still looking forward to a final wrap up of the last one. Hope your dad is well. We'll miss him!

No way would I rehide that octopus! So darn cute!

If only our politicians were this honest. 😉

Our school at least keeps stuff longer than a few weeks! We donate right before Xmas break and of course, at year's end. There should be a 30-day holding period.

First, I enjoyed every bit of your review and I hope you do a report for your next cruise as well. Second, this ending was riveting and completely awful. I cannot believe all you went thru to get home and you never even mentioned that you cried! Lol I don't think I could have handled it. Your wife being military probably handles herself in emergencies very well. Me, not so much! You holding on to the bars of the closed security gate while your wife hands you a book thru the TSA agent as you slowly slid to the floor (that's what I pictured!) was a scene from a movie. You have an amazing attitude and you are surely raising resilient children. Hats off to you and your wife for the way you handled that absolutely terrible debacle. Hope the rest of your summer is as great as the cruise itself!

Kind of impressed by your mom "headed out to the shops" at 10pm! At 50, I'm long gone by 10 most nights! Sounds like this cruise is off to a great start for you girls and I hope it gets even better!
