10,000+ Club (5/15)

  1. Does anyone know what is the purpose of the funnel that comes out of the Wipeout Bar. I asked on Wonder and couldn't find a staff member that had any idea. I have viewed overhead pix of it and it is hollow with a grate on top of it. I know they have some navigational equipment in use attached to it but there has to be some main purpose of that funnel.
  2. At $500/night those suite benefits aren't near worth it. Better value getting 2 connecting ocean view balconies and still having money left over.
  3. It doesn't matter if he is the primary passenger as long as 1 of you stay on the reservation you can substitute the other passenger. As for the handicap cabin....see if they have a non-handicap in the same category you can switch to...or else just stay in the cabin you have.
  4. That price difference is CRAZY even for a 7 night sailing....never mind a 4 night sailing.....defiantly not worth it. Take another cruise with the savings downgrading back to your original cabin.
  5. It's right on Royals own website: Due to public health regulations, children that are in diapers or not 100% toilet trained may only use Baby Splash facilities on board. These are only available on the following ships: Adventure, Allure, Anthem, Freedom, Harmony, Independence, Liberty, Oasis, Ovation, Odyssey, Quantum, Spectrum, Symphony and Wonder. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/are-children-in-diapers-allowed-in-the-onboard-pools
  6. I am just giving my honest opinion of being booked in a JS and wanting to dine at CK. While I have stayed in JS's and haven't had issue with dining in CK...sometimes for even the entire sailing, it does come at a bit of a price IMHO. First off your room key doesn't have access to the suite lounge of CK....both are located together....so you will have to stand there outside the door knocking waiting for someone to open it up for you. You will have to do this every time including if you have to go to the bathroom while dining. Some of the concierge's are welcoming for you to dine in CK, others have a bit of an attitude if you aren't in a full suite. Some will let you reserve the nights you want others will tell you stop by each evening and they will see if they can accommodate you. In all honesty I'm not overly impressed with CK...it's just a smaller main dining room venue with food being very similar to main dining quality. As much as some might want to pretend...it certainly isn't comparable to one of the specialty dining venues. With the all being said I sometimes find that seem to feel you are competing with the suite guests and the not haven't door access to Ck is very annoying and standing knocking on the doors feels awkward.
  7. I never book hotels through a third party....hotels give all priority to people that have booked direct.
  8. On a side note...Utopia did away with Wonderland all together and replaced its location on 11/12 with Giovanni's....think that may be telling for the future of Wonderland.
  9. Why???....because I think spending $5000 for an interior cabin on Icon is Crazy!?!?!
  10. I understand ...what I'm saying if it was they still wouldn't book.
  11. I have to agree with the doing nothing. After 53 sailings mostly all with Royal I have seen much change over the years. Years ago if a child or adult walked through the ship in a bikini without a coverup they were asked to put something on....now nothing...I see women with G-stings in Windjammer. My daughter wouldn't be allowed to walk on the ship at a port stop without a coverup or t-shirt. Men couldn't walk on without a shirt....now it all goes...they wouldn't say a word to these people. With this new entitled society companies are afraid to say anything anymore.
  12. No one would ever book one of those refundable rates with suites anyways.
  13. I couldn't imagine paying $5000 with the pools open.
  14. I have to agree...I couldn't wait for the Oasis class ships to come out and have sailed them plenty. Icon as soon I saw the pics and videos of what I now call SpongeBob SquarePants of the Seas I have no interest in it at all...this ship is strictly catered to attract kids...no interest. I know Royal Caribbean is a family line but Icon took it to another level. Put that together with the entitled world we now live in and it's a recipe for something I don't want to be part of.
