Apparently a hole in the billard table and the balls were slipping into this hole.So not only were the 22 found but some additional found also. A case of believe it or not🤣 it will be repaired in Sydney. Had to double check the date, making sure it wasn't Apr-1!! No-one had noticed that many balls disappearing, until, what all 22 went down the plug hole??? From my youth, I know that the 22 balls were not billiard balls, but snooker balls. Billiards is played with just 3 balls. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It deserves some OBC as a sincere apology. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no, hehehe, but the hole in the bottom of the table discovery (although how did it get there?) seems more likely than someone stealing the balls - I could understand one or two "disappearing" to supplement someone's own supply if they were missing the odd ones, but not 22 - afterall, they would add a bit of weight to their luggage! I'm guessing the ship staff scoured through CCTV, couldn't see anything amiss so then started to check all other likely and unlikely possibilities 🎱 I don't believe in 🧚♂️🧚♀️... but I'm optimistic that Santa 🎅 and his reindeer 🦌🦌🦌🦌 drop by this Sunday night 😊 📦 🎄 Edited December 18, 2023 by Jean C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted December 18, 2023 #1482 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I was thinking something silly like one of the kids clubs having a scavenger hunt and there was a ball on the find list. The actual reason is so much more incredulous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted December 18, 2023 #1483 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) Royal Caribbean now has a partnership with the new Florida high speed train that runs between the the main ports and airports. Use the promo code Royal 15 for 15% discount. I believe they have a ship shuttle at each port. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-is-brightline-what-are-its-benefits Edited December 18, 2023 by Chiliburn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icat2000 Posted December 18, 2023 #1486 Share Posted December 18, 2023 What the definition of the right travel insurance. That they got any insurance or that its with a particular company/insurer. Carnival checks this at check in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s not cheap but it’s a convenient alternative to hiring a car or plane. Quite often I read about people having to get from Port Canaveral to Fort Lauderdale to join another ship. I don’t believe there’s a shuttle service it just Taxi . When they put in the station at Coco beach it will be a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have definitely used the train at least once being a rail buff for the journey if it was opened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We board on Boxing Day, and have another "know before you go" email today. It definitely spells out the need for providing printed proof of travel insurance for any cruise visiting Noumea or Lifou. I understand the reason why people ignore this, as it was a "requirement* for many years before it was ever enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
