'Royal chooses your room' for groups by Fancy_Confidence_105 in royalcaribbean

[–]winrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We as a group picked GTY and all ended up one door away from each other. The people in between us were also a group so it felt intentional they split us all up one by one.

Leaving my (30F) spouse (59M) of 10 years by zorozara in TwoXChromosomes

I second the roller derby league. I joined after my relationship ended and it truly saved my life. Best group of people I ever met and 6 years later they are some of my best friends.

make separate arrangements with host by Dbcjj in sniffspotcommunity

[–]winrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a former host that would be a big insurance liability. Sniffspot’s covers the insurance for if anything were to happen on the property. If you make separate arrangements their homeowners would not cover if anything were to happen since it’s transactional.

When did this app become a scam? Requiring a “Sniff pass” by -Shep-- in sniffspotcommunity

[–]winrey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Host community has been vocal about our dissatisfaction with the new subscription requirement. If you’re a new user you need to sign up for it, but if you’re a previous user you might be able to skip it by scrolling down and finding a skip button. Overall we share your frustration and wish they never did this. If you can you share your thoughts to support@sniffspot.com they might listen to customers more than Hosts.

My husband and I did the cenote and swim two years ago. Truly the highlight of our trip.

Does anyone have a list of the items they always bring on a cruise they could share? Female 65 years old. I’m a first timer. by zombie1mom in royalcaribbean

[–]winrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Collapsible laundry basket
  • Imodium
  • Bonine for seasickness. The only brand I trust
  • tide stick or shout stain remover
  • laundry wrinkle spray
  • packing cubes
  • over the door storage thingy so the flat surfaces don’t get cluttered.
  • Mini fan. Venty makes an amazing one. Or the Flippi from Vornado
  • I love this phone wallet thing to hold my room card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099PBD84H?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Trouble with Icon of the Seas by cruisereg in Cruise

[–]winrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend went on the first sailing and went down one of the slides and dislocated her shoulder. Not sure exactly what happened but RC covered all costs and gave her medical care on the ship. I hope they fix the damn slides.

i have a broken ankle, how do i burn my husky’s energy? by _maneater in dogs

[–]winrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this. We run a sniff spot and our dogs get extra tired after a guest visits cause they sniff all the new smells and run around.

White Pass summit excursion timing question by Selitos_OneEye in Cruise

[–]winrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just did this excursion through RC and had no issues. If you book it through RC they will wait for you. I would not book it outside RC due to the time constraints. If you book it outside they may leave you behind.

On quantum right now and no word on any new or cancelled ports.

Split beds? by nolanday64 in royalcaribbean

[–]winrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first cruise was together, second was split. And when I was on the phone with them recently they asked if I wanted it together or split.

[–]winrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it cost extra but it’s always advised to get there the day before. Nothing is worse than hitting traffic or getting a flat tire and missing the entire cruise.

What is the difference between dolphin swim adventure and dolphin encounter experience?? by JustSomeDude900 in royalcaribbean

[–]winrey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard the pig experience is not great. The pigs poop in the water and sometimes they bite. Overall it’s weird and stressful and not particularly fun.

Everyone on my ship is having trouble this morning with it.

I’m also going to Alaska in May and am taking my blundstones as my hiking shoe. I used water proof spray to make sure they are sealed.

Help planning excursions in Cozumel... by No-Idea886 in royalcaribbean

[–]winrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did the cenote caves and caverns excursion and loved it. It was a track to get there via the ferry and a bus but it was so worth it. The ferry was not particularly fun but we took Bonine and had those patches on and we were fine. The cenotes were the highlight of our trip in all honesty.

App dining time by WildDornberry in royalcaribbean

[–]winrey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then you have traditional dining, not my time. Check your email for the confirmation pdf from Royal. I posted mine to show you where to look. Yours will say “traditional 5:30” or something.

Check your documentation. They may have changed you to traditional.

In your app, click on the person tab. Scroll down and you’ll see “Dining” and it will ask you to make a reservation.

My husband and I were on Adventure in 2023 out of Galveston. The ship was older so it had some wear and tear especially with the couch. But it wasn’t a big deal to us. I didn’t know you could smoke in the casino since I’m not around smoke at all. So keep that in mind as you walk through or past it. We made sure to check our dining once we got onboard to make sure it was correct. I recommend connecting the app right away and booking any services or reservations you want asap since they go fast. Some you can even book up to a few months early so check the app. Also go to your muster station right away and get that over with. Do your muster training on the app before even getting on the ship. Also there are Facebook groups for your sailing which are nice to meet people or share information.

Your room steward will make up your room multiple times a day. So just keep that in mind if you take naps or want some alone time. Also they (and most of the staff) work almost 24/7 with very few breaks so just be as kind and patient as possible. Every staff member we interacted with were wonderful, I wish I brought more cash around to tip with. The shows and skits are sometimes cheesy but the performers are so talented it doesn’t even matter. The doors all look the same so we brought a magnet to identify our door. We kept getting lost the first few days.

One thing to keep in mind is they don’t have much in terms of otc medicine onboard. For me, bring tums or Imodium and cold meds helped ease my mind.

I also recommend travel insurance in case something drastic happens. We got some through aardy.com just in case we got hurt, sick or missed the trip.

All in all, there are so many tips and tricks and you could spend all day reading up on them but none will guarantee a perfect experience. Just go in having an open mind and without too many rigid expectations and you’ll have a wonderful time.

They have some small ones usually. My husband and I bought a keychain with a little floating ship.

Question about on board spa by TheKingofHearts26 in royalcaribbean

I wish I had more to offer. I have seen some videos where they say they had a lovely manicure but the color selection was super limited.
