Hi Lisa.

Yes, I saw that as well. My plan was to bring the same suit for both formal nights, and if necessary have it cleaned and pressed between the formal nights.

Under 2 weeks now, and...

Bear in mind if you do use credit cards in the shops, they may charge you a conversion fee to convert the amount to US Dollars.

I always still like to get dressed up on the formal nights, although not in a tux. For my upcoming cruise, I'll probably be in a black 2 piece suit for the formal nights.

On that note, I did have...

I think a written letter sent to them USPS (snail mail) may generate a better response. I took a trip awhile ago (not cruising), and long story short, there were problems with Amtrak, and I got back...

Hi Alexandra.

Sorry you didn't have a good experience on the Enchantment. As far as Sonny's recommendation, I'm not sure if just a verbal complaint onboard would do anything. I'm assuming he...

Yeah, I hope this isn't enough to stop people from cruising, in general or with RCI. I know people will have mixed reactions after something like this. For my upcoming cruise, RCI's schedule didn't...

Wow, amazing photos. I'm hoping Royal Caribbean is paying for the hotels for those passengers that were in staterooms affected by the fire, or at least a portion of it.

Thanks Dave. This is now definitely on my list of possibilities, as I love seafood, and figure I'll have to see if I can try some when I'm in Ketchikan and Skagway. Unfortunately the excursion I'm...

Those of you that may be driving to the Seattle port from the Mount Vernon area, allow lots of extra time. There was a bridge collapse on I-5 over the Skagit River. You can read the...
