Ship News. 
 

We are hearing that there are a group of teen girls vandalizing the guest pictures/posting on doors. 
They have been drawing inappropriate pictures and removing as well as destroying personal items. 
 

It is happening late in the evening. 
 

We are on the 9th floor and have seen some of their Handy work. 
 

Reports have been filed with security and guest services and their response is lame. 
 

Guest are being told when you see this call security and they will come up. 

WOW. By the time they would get to the area. They would be long gone. 
 

Folks if you see any misbehavior snap a picture of the group. Maybe something more can be done. 
 

Be safe. 

We had some of this my last time on harmony. Kids probably made a xmas decoration into a swastika, clearly inappropriate. I went to guest services who said to me I couldn't report something on someone elses door, only my own door.

The entres on the CK MENU  do not interest me. 

Getting spaghetti off children’s menu.

It should be pretty easy to check the cameras for the area and put a stop to this. Pretty lame for Royal to not act on this.

Another lame response from Royal. What would their response had been if you reported vandalism to part of the ship? Oh, we can only act if you are reporting vandalism to your own ship.🙄😏

Security probably as eyes and cameras on @Lionesss at all times to make sure she is not cheating at slots. 😉

 

How does someone cheat at slots? Beats me as I'm sure the old magnet trick doesn't work anymore and slugs went the way of coin-operated machines & the dodo bird.

 

In all seriousness, I agree it's a lame response. Until the gang of mean girls becomes more brazen and started vandalizing Royal property, then you see action.

Not happy to hear Royal Caribbean allows this behavior. Want to cruise with my grandchildren soon but second guessing if royal handles this bad behavior properly 

[Sea Dog]

This is very disappointing that teens would do this without any regard to others. I'm even more surprised that it was a group of girls. I would hate to see what their parents are like.

Good morning. 
 

Early towels  taking loungers in the morning. (8:05am).

 

 

Breakfast at CK. 

 

Be safe. 

I thought this wasn't allowed?  I thought you weren't allowed to reserve chairs if you aren't there?  And all chairs/loungers gone by 9am??  When I sail on Symphony in late May it will definitely be more crowded so I am not happy to hear this.  Glad I booked a "casita" but apparently it isn't as poolside as they advertise it to be.

(And if you say it isn't a rule just frowned upon, would it then be frowned upon if I take the towels right back off the chairs?)

 

Also RC has cameras everywhere if they really wanted to they could find those girls.

I'm starting to follow along on your Symphony of the Seas, as I am in the "thinking" mode of doing this ship, and I do appreciate your feed back and the pictures too.

I would have no problem with the menu above.  My DH would order a filet- even with an up charge-  He is a hot dog, steak and carbohydrates eater.  Explains the belly! lol

Will be on Symphony next month, can you post picture of the "Shows at a glance" ? Looking to get idea who the headliners might be. Do you have a tribute band on your sailing?

We never think to go there. But we shall try.

Our day on ARUBA. 
 

We woke up right before our 8:00 alarm. 
 

Breakfast in WJ. 
 

Back to cabin. 
 

Got our stuff to leave the ship. 
 

We decided months ago we would walk into town. 
Now. We wanted too, it was planned all along. 

But the cabbies would take you but price negotiable. We heard anywhere from $15 to $25. (Rip off). 

 

As we left the RCI security gate we started being attacked by the “Pamphlet- people”

We declined there offering. 
 

Just an FYI:

When you walk the walk the ground is asphalt and some old buses travel by near the beginning.  You can smell Smokey diesel. 
 

So now that we are in town I go to the spouse let me guess. We walked about 2 miles?????

 

He goes nope.  From cabin to here .76 of a mile. BUMMER!

 

So we did touristy stuff. Shopped and more “Pamphlet people”. Persisten as the were we were able to keep walking and prevent harming a tree with a paper trail. 

So now we are just sitting on a bench and a trolly car goes by. And I go that looks interesting. 
So we board the Free trolly. 
It was a nice relaxing cool air breeze drifting by. 
A few stops but we stayed on. 
We were first row and loved the leg room and breeze. Bought 2 - 20oz Diet Coke $2 each. I saved our seats and spouse stepped into a store to get them. 
Did the loop and back to starting point. 
 

Walked back to ship. 
 

Some pictures to view. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be safe.

I was joking. You seem to come home with more than you leave with.
