missvictoria121 Posted May 3, 2018 #276 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I was talking about the cancelled excursion(s). (And apologies for misspelling your name, Vicky. ) I guess I failed to say that when I booked those excursions we used onboard credit given by Royal. We some of it was paid by cc which is going back on our card. So even if it was royal onboard credit from a next cruise booking in July would it be put back on my card?

missvictoria121 Posted May 3, 2018 #277 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It should default to spending non-refundable first. If not, then you need to speak with guest services. Sent from my iPhone using Forums That’s what we’re doing :) Marco is keeping track so we spend very little of the on board going back to our card. Now we have WiFi haha Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missvictoria121 Posted May 3, 2018 #278 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Yes indeed I am... we had a great crowd of regulars in the Schooner on our sailing, we're already discussing reuniting on an upcoming Grandeur cruise, hopefully we can make a NE/Canada 2020 work for everyone, planning that far out. I cruised with Hansen on Anthem in '16, and we've been in pretty regular contact since, hoping to work a cruise reunion with him and his wife as well. When I see him tomorrow I’ll let him know it was Justin :) my husband and I are looking to book NE/Canada in may or June 2019 but if that doesn’t work we could move it to 2020 :) we love people who love to cruise.

Now we have WiFi haha Sent from my iPhone using Forums Does your wifi keep cutting out on you? Its already slow, but I would lose connection to the router miduse and trying to reconnect is frustrating. The signal strength to the router doesn’t change, just the connection status. Its unpredictable and has never been unstable like this in the past. I complained to IT and he claimed they’ve gotten no other complaints. I find that suspect, but at least he tried to rectify the issue for me. I don’t think he knows about network connection any more than I do. He said some network settings could do that. When i asked him what settings could kick me off so I could change them, he evaded the answer and offered to refund me.

Meesh5915 Posted May 4, 2018 #280 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Good afternoon everyone. 1st of my final 2 days on this cruise. Its almost over. Its been fairly lazy. Here’s my view from the Solarium. I was outside, but its actually kind of chilly with the wind. Can’t be more than 75 out there. I hear home is in the 90s!!! It never got that hot all cruise, even in the Bahamas. Anyways, this cup of coffee is the first time i tried the coffee onboard this cruise. Someone said it was better. Well, I’m here to say SHE LIED!!! The question is, do I *really* need a cup of coffee at almost 4:30pm? Sent from my iPhone using Forums The coffee is nasty. My father in law loves it!!

Rare Rogueperson Posted May 4, 2018 Author #281 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Tonight’s headliner show was Rookie. They are a classic rock and roll band. I’ve actually saw them on my last solo cruise last year. In fact, the lead guy Aaron came up to me because I had a huge board game setup in the Solarium. At the time, he just told me he was a performer and thats it. I thought he was one of the dancers, bot a headliner. Imagine my surprise later that week when I saw him featured. They are quite good.

Rare Rogueperson Posted May 4, 2018 Author #282 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Tonight is the 2nd formal night. Can you guess what’s missing? Yes its the escargot!! But Cosmina got me my 2 anyways!!! Will it be available tomorrow? Well stay tuned. Yeah no one really cares about escargot but me, but 8 out of 9 nights is not a bad run. Someone on Oasis said they only had it for 3 nights. Caprese Salad Strawberry Bisque Lobster and dessert Chocolate Molten Cake I learned the trick of asking for peanut butter with this cake on Carnival. Only problem here “molten” apparently means something different here. Not sure what, it was just a cake...but who cares, there’s peanut butter.

missvictoria121 Posted May 4, 2018 #283 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hey Hansen, Great review. Don't miss the Crew Show tonight and try to sit close to the stage for a good view for the world premiere debut of Fountains. See you there. Also make sure if you take a picture you get my "good side" Mike It was great Mike! Can’t wait for the quest tonight !

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Nonrefundable. Sorry. Refundable = from your RC Visa card; from your TA, from stuff you paid for yourself with a credit card before the cruise but cancelled once on board.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Thats the odd thing. I do NOT get kicked off. Overnight, I should get kicked out, but in the mornings, it just automatically logs me in.

Rare Rogueperson Posted May 4, 2018 Author #287 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Good Morning on the last morning if this cruise. This is today’s compass. I missed breakfast this morning. Better yet, I missed breakfast at the MDR. Woke up just a little late. I ended up going to the Windjammer. It was a little zoo, I’ve seen worse, but there’s a reason I avoid. I got what I needed and came out here. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted May 4, 2018 Author #288 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Final day lunch menu. Today they had fresh mozzarella. 2 out of 4 lunches isnt bad. I don’t need that much cheese all at once. Chicken and Mushroom Pappadelle Sea crab soup (special) and for dessert Apple Parcel and Strawberry Napoleon Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted May 4, 2018 Author #289 Share Posted May 4, 2018 There was a “fair” at the Centrum. It reminds me of the school carnival. It was cute but not my kind of thing. There are 3 things on the schedule. The Last Jedi (duuuh, May 4th), the good bye show and the late night comedian. I did a search for the guy and he seemed funny from what I saw. Somewhere between all that, I will pack. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rogueperson Posted May 4, 2018 Author #292 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Good Evening for all still following along. I’m sitting in the Palladium Theater for the Farewell show. I usually don’t attend, but apparently there’s a new headliner comedian who will have a later show tonight.

Rare Rogueperson Posted May 4, 2018 Author #293 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The sketch show Mike did during this show was hilarious. The Comedian, Colin Moulton is pretty funny. I’ll definitely be back for that show tonight. Always a sad image when they say good bye. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted May 5, 2018 Author #294 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The last dinner is always depressing. Tuna Carpaccio I actually got two of them.

seadog67 Posted May 5, 2018 #295 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Glad you had a great trip and thanks for all the updates, was nice to follow your trip this past week! Time to start planning the next one. Safe travels home tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted May 5, 2018 Author #296 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Glad you had a great trip and thanks for all the updates, was nice to follow your trip this past week! Time to start planning the next one. Safe travels home tomorrow. I already have Navigator booked in November and I also added Allure for 2019 while I was onboard. FYI, they STILL do reduced deposits onboard but ONLY for non-refundable bookings. I think inspired my wife who is a waaaay better writer than I. I suspect we may try to do one then. In November, Aruba, Bonaire and Caracao are ports which are new to us. I’m not quite done here yet. There’s still tomorrow morning, but since its going to be early, I’m pretty much done for the night. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SausPud Posted May 5, 2018 #298 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Well done on this live review, now there is no excuse for every cruise to have a live review. You need to come and visit Europe, I've done loads of cruises in the Meditteranean and still discovering new ports of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
