80,000+ Club (12/15)

  1. A lot of people do the JS, because of the bath tub and you get 1 extra loyalty pt. Trying to run up their loyalty pts they are willing to pay the extra. I've looked myself because of the extra loyalty pt, just couldnt justify it like you said.
  2. My 3 harmony cruises the cut off was high 1100s. Ship was new to texas so many that's why top heavy to get into suite lounge. One lady told me she missed the cut off by 1 point. Sorely disappointed. We had 3 weeks in a row I was on, had this all 3 weeks. Harmony booked next oct, maybe by then the pinnacles will be less. ..note this was out of texas where not many 7 day choices. And we did know ahead. Like I posted above you can click the link on your app where it says welcome aboard. Someone had clicked it and noticed it weeks before we boarded. They post it ahead of time.
  3. I've read the ala carte is per meal, you cant pick 2 for dinner for instance and do ala carte at both. So it may depend on ship. Biker first time I've read its per venue. Answers seem to vary.
  4. In the Mdr I just said this drink is a D+ drink and never had a issue with being charged, though usually I ask for a coke.
  5. I'm sure no worse than any other island and it's been more than 10 years but the week after we went there, there was a gang shooting on the road right where the taxi dropped us off. It's a local beach. For many years people avoided Megan's bay, now everyone has forgotten about that shoot out right there at Megan's bay. Just so happened to be right after I was there. That's the beach I mentioned, not by name as I wasnt sure about recommending it. For years and years people said dont go there. We took a taxi there, not with princess who I cruised with that time.
  6. Royal will tell you on the ticket where and when to meet, usually in the port. I did some general excursions I remember we went by the nude orient beach. . A lot go to st John's in st thomas. We did some thing where the tram goes up the mountain once. Another time a beach and also up to some sight seeing top of the mountain., scary to drive other side of the road on those mountains lol. We had some open trolley kind of transport.
  7. Royal does dynamic pricing. It varies according to the current sale. No set price to purchase ahead. Onboard is always more. Says bogo but it costs more than buying ahead. I always see bogo pricing onboard .. from some made up amount. If your cruise is 7 days generally night 2 and 6 are dress up if you want.
  8. Less walking than a larger ship. Some people find a elevator that makes noise or rust someplace and act like its the whole ship. It isnt a new ship but I booked it b2b dec 2024, xmas cruise. The one before went to eastern. These smaller ships can do ports the larger ships dont visit. Xmas I'm in grand bahamas. Been over 20 years since I've seen it. Didnt know it even went there, but it was xmas so I booked it and the eastern which has new port for me. DR.
  9. I did "the works" and had them take off the chilli. They scrambled eggs into potatoes and pepper and onions. My scrambled eggs werent cooked enough. If I go back I'm asking for well done scrambled eggs. Just a FYI.
  10. On harmony we saw if you click on the welcome aboard thing on your app, even before you board there is a lot of info. The last thing was where they posted only top 30 pinnacles got suite lounge, ck access etc. It's right above the buttons on the bottom of your app where info about your sailing is. Doesn't look like a link but it is.
  11. I posted similar and people all posted they had seen it. I saw it about a month ago. Sounds good to me.
  12. I'd read some of these threads about booking the vatican and Colosseum on your own. Maybe it's me but sounds hard. And to see faster or get into extra levels a extra fee. Not that easy to book on your own. I'd book a tour. ..or that's my plan.
  13. Actually it depends on which site you use. The site that starts with the word hotels ... I can see 14 months out to may 2025. That how I know they are asking $150 for esmeldo hotel or however it's spelled and I'm not within a year. Some hotels show further out some dont. Though I keep hearing only book direct. .. I can bundle air and hotel on another site I'm sure considering. But it's one like you said doesnt show until about 11 months out. Sure a good price.
  14. I would think this is cruiseline specific, not city specific. Carnival says cans only. Rcl says cans or bottles up to 17 oz and same terminal workers screen both. I remember when carnival changed to cans only. I think there were too many trying to smuggle and they just said no more. And also smaller coolers. People were getting crazy 10 years ago or whenever with ideas how to smuggle.
  15. Coins? Equal cabins? Didnt know you ever got those unusual cabins as group rates. Let me know as I love those.
