Does Royal Carribean Australian site charge in Aus Dollars or US? When I booked on their site 2 1/2 years ago we were charged in Aus Dollars.

Which town car would you recommend? We are a group of 6! thanks:p

What a shame, I thought they were the best cruise director and assistant that I have come across. Robin:)

Agree. They were excellent.

Quite a few people do short cruises to celebrate milestone birthdays eg 21st.

If you select 'My Time Dining' you can book the same table each night. There shouldn't be any problem seating 15 people at the one table.

If they do charge you for a Noro visit, would your travel insurance pay the bill?

I think you could. Though if you had a policy with an excess may not be worth claiming.

At least there won't be any complaints about the ships blocking the view of the fireworks like the Radiance of the Seas last year.

The worst toilet have have visited outside Australia was at the White House Visitors Centre in Washington DC.

It's funny you posted this because just last night, I was playing around on youtube, watching old clips of ships from years ago...

Notice how the kid put his hand in the clam shell in the buffet and helped himself to the food.

Interesting thread. I am sailing at the moment with my mother who is showing early signs of dementia. She is physically very well, but at the drop of a hat can become totally confused and disoriented. I booked this cruise knowing full well that I would have to be with her constantly, and am very happy to do so, given how much she has given to her children in her lifetime. She loves to cruise, and I don't know how long she will be able to, so for now, we will take it as it comes. I don't believe the problem lies with the cruise line!

Just wondering how you get on with travel insurance for your mum? My dad is 85 and he said he will not go on any further cruises due to the insurance difficulties since he had a heart attack.

How does a pensioner afford a $12000 Celebrity cruise? Wish I could.

We were on a cruise last year and there was a mentally and physically handicap young man on board who every time I saw him was waving his arms madly about and shrieking. It was very uncomfortable for other passengers, particularly those sitting nearby in the dining room, and I really had to question whether he should have been allowed on board. Its not discrimination. Anyone who is dangerous to themselves or others, problematic for staff or likely to hinder the enjoyment of other passengers should be required to inform this to the cruise line at time of booking.

We had a similar situation on our last cruise. Though it was a group of 6 people with a couple of carers.

I wonder if they were able to get travel insurance? I doubt it if they disclosed the wife's illness.

Credit Card insurance never covers pre existing conditions.

Our CC Travel Insurance covers certain pre existing conditions. It is with Zurich.

Hello Susie2shoes,

We found Bernadette in Schooner Bar very attentive and friendly, ask her if she remembers Connie! With your experience you should already know that the balcony cabins are a good size, it was our first Balcony and we loved it.

Gnomey.

We were served by Bernadette on our Radiance Hawaii-Syd cruise last year. Though she working in the Atrium then.

Them's the rules, but what enforcement is done at the MDR door by the Maitre D's/Head Waiters? Perhaps they should have the ships security officers there, @ The Fashion Police. Into the Brig with you. LOL. Way to go.

It was the Maître D at the MDR door who was turning people away.

and the rest dressed in casual attire....even some in shorts and T Shirts in the MDR.

 

.

On the Radiance last October we were told shorts were not allowed in the MDR on a non-formal night.

 

Wondering if anyone who has cruised Radiance or Rhapsody this season can give me a heads up on what the range of male attire was on formal nights. We need to decide whether we will book somewhere other than the MDR or take clothes to suit.

 

Thanks!

I've been on both ships on formal nights. I've seen men dressed in Tuxedos, suits with and without ties and dress pants and jackets with a open neck shirt. My husband has worn all of those except a Tuxedo.

It's on Rccl web site.
