Same here with both Royal and Celebrity. Just my PW and all is good.

On my May 4th cruise, I got the Won notification 45 days before. Bid to notification was 14 days.

Wife and I both enjoyed the food. I like many of the Chef's who were on board but don't really have a favorite. Most were out and about with the passengers during the cruise. Buddy V was doing a tiramisu demo on the pool deck and my wife got one of his creations. If you want a lot of details sign up for the FB group Chef's Making Waves.

We were on this sailing. Had a great time but there were a few misses that I'm sure will be sorted by the sailing in May of 2025. Make sure you sign up for the pre-sale before it goes on sale to the public.https://www.chefsmakingwaves.com/ You will see pricing and available cabins when it's your time to book.

THIS! Just got off the Pearl and they had plenty of both. I like a 50/50 mix of Amarula and Mr. Black Cold Brew liquor. So much for my dry Saturday now.

Thanks for the great review. We've only sailed the Pearl on Sixthman music charters. Looking for a ship that includes Cozumel (for the Cozumel Bar Hop) and Key West. Jade or Jewel look to be perfect. Agreed beer selection is weak but Sixthman will normally include a couple IPA's if you like it in the can. They also had PBR which I enjoy for nostalgia purposes. Agreed the internet sucks. At least it did on the Pearl in February. Constantly disconnecting and when you did connect it was useless. Won't get it again. We board Pearl on Sunday for the inaugural Sixthman Chef's Making Waves cruise. It's only a 4 nighter but includes the Premium Plus Bev Pkg. Hello WhistlePig Rye!

It's for Chef's Making Waves sailing on March 25th. It was not there for OCC8. Everyone on Chef's has the Premium Plus Beverage Package.

Great ideas. We are there next week during the day. Thank you!

Make sure it isn't in your "Cart". This will also give you the Limited to once condition.

Just booked the package yesterday for our Icon cruise. Wife got the 35% off while I got the 30.

DBP price on my May 24 Icon sailing has gone down from $92 to $86 pp pd. I'll be shocked if it goes down much more than that tomorrow. It will need to drop a chunk for us to purchase the DBP.

Great idea. Now I want to take my Mahket Bahsket half and half with me in May for Icon. 😃

My Icon sailing in May of 2024 is now $92 PPPD or 20% off. I won't buy the DBP unless it gets to 40% off and I doubt that will happen on Icon any time soon. At only 20% off it's cheaper for us to just pay cash.

We were on Regal in August. I had no issues with the internet (via Plus) speed for browsing and email. To avoid a ship because of internet speed seems extreme. We loved Regal.

We were a group of six a few weeks ago on Regal. We had a 7:40 res at Concerto every night. This didn't work out for some and we could not change anything with a group of 6. If our party was two we could have made changes.
