And the best Mamma Mia on Allure.

Parents in JS get 2x points, while kids in interior get 1X. Surprised that Royal allowed minors with their own cabin. When I booked 2 cabins on Eater Anthem sail for my daughter's family, I needed to have an adult/parent with each minor, even though I had connecting cabins.

The op should have deleted the entire or whatever was written prior.

I have a guarantee inside cabin on August 26 4 niter on Utopia and will see what the Royal Up will quote me. Bringing my son along as the Casino promo was free for me and discounted for the 2nd Pax. I have a 3-niter preceding the August sail and was assigned a CP view cabin. The damn airfare is so expensive that it was worth doing a back-to-back. The present airfare for 2 from Newark to Orlando is much more that the cost of the combined 7-night sail.

Not to change the subject, but I just upgraded a Casino interior comp to an ocean view balcony sailing on Odyssey March 30, 2025 for $825 and was wondering if I could have done better with the Royal up. Primary advantage is that I selected my cabin. Sailing solo and wondering if anyone has any experience.

Is there something that I'm missing, what is the question/problem.

I booked Odyssey sailing March 30, 2025. Advantage it gets me started on the following year’s points required. Upgraded to ocean view balcony for $820.

800.526.9723 is the number that I call. This number also gets you to the Diamond desk. I had a crazy and funny experience--I applied for Royal shareholder's benefits on my Odyssey January '26 booking. I wanted the booking to be transferred to my TA. It was denied by the Sales Dept as it was considered a Casino booking. The booking had nothing to do with the Casino as the booking was done on board. So, I call the C&A desk to get clarification/fixed. The agent tells me with certainty that the system has identified it as Caino related. Rather than argue, I asked if the agent could provide me with the direct tele# to the sales dept. I call and I recognized that it was the same person that I spoke to previously. So kiddingly, I said I don't think you are going to be of any help. 🤣 Called the Casino desk and got it resolved. Still did not get a proper answer as to why it became a casino booking. Bottom line, I did not want to lose $350 in OBC provided by my TA.

Check the daily compass if listed. On recent Easter sail the Crown L. hours were from 4:30-7:30. Attendance was sparse, and the coffee machine was mostly on the fritz the entire sail.

When I booked the Jamie's lunch on Anthem it was last year on Pasta Day and got it for $14.99 per adult and 9.99 for a child. Couldn't pass up on the deal.

I sailed on Harmony this past December and once you go thru security and check-in you are on you way to boarding the ship. They no longer hold you in the pen and board you by C&A status.🤣

You can check in earlier than the 11am as they no longer check the time assigned. A 12 or 12:15 lunch time is absolutely achievable. However, why don’t you pre/book the desired times via the cruise planner. I pre-booked Jamie’s on Anthem for a party of 8 with some children involved and not a problem in making the 12:15 pm reservations.

Off Anthem Easter sail and no masks were required. However, some staff and passengers had masks on.

You can book at the current price and if it goes lower just cancel and reprice.

I find most of the times it’s the assistant waiters that are involved.Royal had stopped it some time ago and brought it back. I truly enjoyed the flaming baked Alaska and staff dancing and singing and entertaining passengers. Alas, due to insurance situation that has since gone by the way of the Dodo bird. Miss those olden days of sailing.
