I wonder if you'll run across Riley Tench onboard... I did! He was running the e-Muster at one of the assembly stations. So glad to see him and all the rest of the staff. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost no time at all, if you’ve already watched the video (about a min or so) and listened to the audio (6 short 1 long) on the app, then you just have to go to the muster station, scan your seapass and that’s it! If you don’t have the app you can do the video on the stateroom TV as well, it tracks whether or not you’ve watched it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The convenience of this might have some folks reconsider dumping their mobile device in the safe at the start of the cruise. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbeyg Posted December 1, 2020 #30 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the follow-along! We had a GS on our last cruise, Anthem OTS. The Quantum class GS cabins are nice. Crossing my fingers for Odyssey next year. 🙂 Hope you have a great time!! Edited December 1, 2020 by barbeyg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuhaocooper Posted December 1, 2020 #34 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi, glad to see your cruise going well! May I ask how long did the check-in process take for you today and what was your check-in time? and was there priority boarding for suite class guests?

Anyone can upgrade their home with a MERV 13 filter which is unlikely to make any difference to the temp of the space being conditioned. Biker, who is impressed with RCI marketing.

I think what he means is that he doesn't know if it's any different, so that's why he's asking. I gather the cabins are climate controlled so should not be that much different to "normal" air conditioning?

masteradept Posted December 1, 2020 Author #45 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Had a great meal at Coastal Kitchen, food and service were as good as ever. One of the waiters even recognized me from a Mariner trip almost 3 years back. Pork belly appetizer Filet Mignon main Dessert menu Pear dessert Royal Esplanade Don’t you miss being reminded what day it is I think that’s most all for today! Catch you all tomorrow for our first (and only) full sea day! As always if there’s anything specific you’d like to see, just let me know and I’ll do my best to arrange it. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really meant it when they said “large balcony” Looks like we do have to watch the video on our apps - shall get that done Various items - the Tracelet (contact tracing wristband), Seapass cards, C&A masks and sanitizer and the usual other items Bedroom area Awesome, thanks for sharing, and enjoying the cruise! Do they have the typical hotel toiletries ? toothpaste, toothbrush, bath lotion, shampoo.. you know, the little bottles.
