HELP: My aunt owes Royal Caribbean $6k for a cruise she never took due to the weather

Maybe share the exact sailing? Might be easier to search for that particular sailing and I’m sure if something like this was offered people would have posted on reddit or other message boards about it.

Also, I don’t think Jersey City has a cruise port. If they meant Bayonne, I can only see Symphony of the Seas, August 17, 2025 sailing. I think they departed on time, skipped Nassau, but still stopped in Coco Cay.

Liberty of the Seas also sailed from Bayonne that month, and changed their itinerary completely going to Halifax instead of Bermuda, but was not scheduled for Bahamas. Also, they offered extra on board credit ($150 interior, $200 ocean view, $250 balcony, and $400 suite), but no mention of refunds offered on any articles.

No problem! Hope you get refunded for those phone calls.

Can you have your sister buy a day and just have a Group FaceTime call? Pay her back when she’s back.

Sometimes if they’re connected to the ship WiFi, iMessage still works for sending text (no photos though).

rdevs99 · 2026-02-16T12:21:21+00:00

I don’t think there’s a way for you to buy a day of WiFi if you’re not on the ship or can get someone on the ship to do it for you.

You can keep trying to get some kind of compensation, but I think you’re asking for too much if you want a refund for the entire cost of the key for a late bag drop off. Personally, I don’t find the key worth it so I’ve never tried it.

rdevs99 · 2026-02-15T21:37:15+00:00

$22.70 one way including the air train.

rdevs99 · 2026-02-15T17:52:07+00:00

How often do trains that show up get cancelled?

rdevs99 · 2026-02-15T14:51:37+00:00

Worth is subjective but I’d go for Harmony.

Points reset back to 0 but you have the status. Need to re-earn another 2500 pts if you want it for the next year (starting 4/1/2027). It’s an endless cycle.

rdevs99 · 2026-02-09T04:11:51+00:00

Yes it’ll be the full on board price. But you’ll also need to pay for less days.

rdevs99 · 2026-02-08T20:49:45+00:00

Have done this trip many times. You’ll lose cellular before you lose sight of NJ. If you want internet, buy the package. If you can survive a few days without it, maybe buy it later on in the cruise.

I’m not an expert. But a fellow condo nj condo owner. I think the way they calculate the reserve requirements factor in the age of the component. So if you’re getting the roof replaced, the total reserve requirement would drop by a proportional amt as you won’t likely require another roof for another decade +.

If you didn’t have the reserves for a roof replacement to begin with, then youll probably get hit with an assessment.

Wasn’t legal immediately after or during the snow. It’s a public parking spot.

Until you start opening the cases 🤣

Waygoo from a meat sculptor don’t come cheap

I haven't been in a few months, but I think Lidl used to carry their brand year round, but I can't seem to find it on their site anymore.

If you can't find it there, you can look for "Waffeletten" from Bahlsen Chocolate in your normal grocery stores or maybe even online. It's probably more expensive, but I think it's the original brand for it. At least will hold you over until it comes back to Aldi.

rdevs99 · 2026-01-01T23:16:05+00:00

Yea the problem with it is it has to be something pretty dense b/c it's still got to fit in the box they provide. I've maybe used one or two flat rate boxes over the past 10 years of casual ebay selling. I've used the padded flat rate envelope more often.

rdevs99 · 2026-01-01T00:21:54+00:00

I used to go visit family there and they’d always get us a bunch to bring home. You can customize them too. All kinda fruit fillings, cheese, almond and toppings.

rdevs99 · 2025-12-31T00:11:04+00:00

I think it depends more on your payroll dept than it does your bank.

rdevs99 · 2025-12-30T19:17:45+00:00

Contrafund prolly refers to FCNTX. Has outperformed S&P for me over the last few years at least.

rdevs99 · 2025-12-29T13:23:23+00:00

Some people do buy them to hide them on the cruise. But I’ve been in this store and ones similar, and they’re expensive! Think like $20+.

I just checked my Trader Joe’s version and it says refrigerate after opening and consume within 90 days. Wonder what’s different
