molsonschooner Posted November 13, 2016 #176 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Your two girls are very cute and they remind me of my own girl. I have a brother and sister. Aren't they the sweetest dogs? Thank you for your live report and enjoy your cruise Cindy I have 2 boys that look a lot like that, just older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagmanss1 Posted November 13, 2016 #177 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Although we plan on visiting every bar on the ship... Not all in one day mind you...lol...<br /> <br /> I was wondering in your journey around the ship if you could find out if any bar has Honey Jack Daniels? I know tall order and have seen the drink menu but on our last Cruise most bars said no until we found the one.... Would hate to find out the last day.....😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon B Posted November 14, 2016 #178 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Thank you for the Live review, really enjoying it. If you have time I was wondering if you could answer a few questions to help me prepare for our trip on Harmony: 1: typically we punch a small hole in the sea pass card and clip it on a lanyard...but now with the RFID chip inside the 'smart cards' could you ask them where on the card it is still safe to punch the hole.. e.g. lower left corner still ok? 2: So does the 'red dot' work? I ask because we'll be in a royal family suite and as I understand it with suite perks we don't need reservations just show-up 10 minutes before the show and get seated...so seems you've got the same privilege so just wondering how it's working? 3: are wow bands offered in optional colors?... or are the colors assigned based on loyalty status e.g. gold for 'gold'...blue for 'diamond' ..stupid question i know but just wondering :-) 4: lastly why back on the ship by 1:30 in Nassau? I thought you had until 2:00? Thank you for your time and I hope you and your family have an amazing vacation!

Wow bands are offered in different colors but your color is based on your muster station Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b&s4cruisin Posted November 14, 2016 #180 Share Posted November 14, 2016 With the Royal IQ app can you communicate with others on the Royal IQ app without purchasing the internet package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlcpandb Posted November 14, 2016 #181 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Can we sign waivers for zip line and flow rider ahead of the cruise or do we need to wait until we get onboard? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 14, 2016 #182 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Can we sign waivers for zip line and flow rider ahead of the cruise or do we need to wait until we get onboard? You should be able to sign waivers using your Pre-Cruise Planner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csfedyshyn Posted November 14, 2016 #183 Share Posted November 14, 2016 You should be able to sign waivers using your Pre-Cruise Planner. We have not been given that option and we sail Saturday. With oasis and allure we could presign. Someone can confirm but I think you sign once onboard. Via TV or maybe even the tablets posted in guest services....

Rare niksmom630 Posted November 14, 2016 Author #184 Share Posted November 14, 2016 With the Royal IQ app can you communicate with others on the Royal IQ app without purchasing the internet package? You can. But it is $8.95 per devise for the entire week. I purchased it for Nicole and I. Works well. You add your contacts once enrolled based on a An 8 digit "extension" number. It is still cheaper than using AT&T messaging for the week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted November 14, 2016 Author #185 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Casino Royale is kicking my butt and taking prisoners. [emoji13] as an FYI, all table games are a $10 minimum. The dealer I spoke to tonight said this is the first sailing with $10 minimum tables...they were $25 minimums for the first few 3 and 2 day sailings [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlcpandb Posted November 14, 2016 #186 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Is there any "free" Internet on the ship? I thought royal IQ was a free app for texting. I was told on the Voom Pkg you can message thru Facebook as you can't text. What's Royal IQ uses? Thanks in advance.

The RoyalIQ app is free to download and use for things like making show reservations, booking excursions, dining, etc. However, if you want to use it to text others on the same cruise using the same app, each sender and recipient must pay $7.95 per cruise for texting capability.

Rare niksmom630 Posted November 14, 2016 Author #189 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Good morning all, and welcome to Day 3! Today we have our meet and mingle and I am leading our cabin crawl. It was originally scheduled pre cruise at 10 am in Dazzles, and changed to 11:30 when we boarded. Last night we got a message that it was moved again to 1 pm....[emoji15] Dinner last night in the main dining room. They have changed the menus up slightly.... Escargot Caesar Salad The Beef Tenderloin... instead of being sliced, it was an actual steak....it was pretty good, but instead of the mashed potatoes, there were some type of roasted potato nuggets which were..... mehhhhhh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted November 14, 2016 #191 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Oh no! Oh no! Is there no longer a cheese plate on the dessert menu!?? That's it! I'm canceling my cruise!!

Rare niksmom630 Posted November 14, 2016 Author #192 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I feel badly for poking fun at our Inaugural "ribbon on a stick" gift, because look what was waiting for us when we returned to our cabin last night! If I can still score a zipper pull on the sailing, my gift ensemble will be complete [emoji106] And.......a cheese plate! Unfortunately this arrived right when we were leaving for dinner, but I was able to wrap it up in cellophane and put it in the refrigerator. The refrigerator actually keeps things cold. And I mean REALLY cold. However, it's the smallest refrigerator I've had in any cabin. You won't have to worry about having it emptied upon boarding, lest you be charged $5 when the pack of M & M's goes missing.... Because there's nothing in it besides two large bottles of Evian water. I had to do some rearranging to store my three small bottles of Hazelnut coffee mate.....

CRUISEFAN0001 Posted November 14, 2016 #194 Share Posted November 14, 2016 A few pics from Nassau yesterday..... Did it look like they (finally) put some fresh paint on the tower and other port buildings in Nassau? Things were looking kinda ragged the last time we were there in 2014.

Rare niksmom630 Posted November 14, 2016 Author #195 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The Fine Line was a fabulous show....it reminded me a bit of Blue Man group....lots of energy, great choreography and music. I'm going to apologize in advance for these photos....they aren't great....we arrived about 20 minutes before showtime, and the theatre was already packed to the rafters. I was seated around 4 rows back, and had one of the spotlights dead ahead in my camera viewfinder. I suggest you arrive much earlier if you want a primo seat in this venue Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app The refrigerator actually keeps things cold. And I mean REALLY cold. So glad you shared. Sounds like a good place for my specialty restaurant desert that I never have room to eat. For your future travels there is a 4" bottle of liquid non dairy lactose free hazelnut or french vanilla coffee creamer which does not require refrigeration called Nestle Coffee-mate 2GO. It is sold in the coffee aisle at my stores. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk DH really liked the coffee creamer. Was very convenient, pocket size. https://www.coffeemate.com/products/2go/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
