Just did this last evening here on the Symphony. Our kids got us a e gift card which was emailed to us. Took that email to Guest Services last evening and within 10 minutes the amount of the gift card was added to our on board account. It was easier than trying to do it before the cruise.

Well that just kind of sucks. When you are in a room the size of a shoe box (not complaining, just stating a fact) you would think the idea would be to have as much storage as possible so that the cabin could be somewhat clutter free. But they didn’t ask me, so evidently modern minimalism has won out over practicality.

Ok. I made my post in the middle of the night in a blur of exhaustion, excitement, confusion and anxiety (which is my constant companion.) I completely forgot about the area above the refrig and the drawers. Now in the light of day my anxiety is lessening (but still exhausted - I think that I might’ve slept 90 minutes) and I’m no longer worried about where we’re going to put the cups and sunglasses. 2 more days!

We’ve been on the Oasis and on the Allure and found that the little shelves and nooks surrounding the desk/vanity/mirror to be quite useful. My husband and I would put things like cans of sunscreen, snacks, cups, sunglasses, etc on them. Out of the way but easily accessible. Here I am ready to embark on Saturday and I’ve probably looked at videos of cabins a dozen times or more. But I JUST noticed that there are none of those handy little places in the cabin on the Symphony - except in the bathroom. Does anyone have any suggestions where to stash those kinds of items on the Symphony? I’m losing sleep over this! lol! Am I going to need to go out and buy an over the door shoe thingie tomorrow? Have taken lots of trips to Disney and 3 cruises and avoided using one of these things. Maybe until now?

Even when the OBC is there from a gift certificate?

I’m sorry. That’s just ridiculous in my opinion. Seems like it’s just a way for RC to hold onto other people’s money.

Thanks! Just what I wanted to hear. 😁 🎰💸

Hi! We’re 2 weeks from embarkation and our kids got us a $300 Royal Caribbean e Gift Certificate. We have everything that we wanted to do for this cruise already paid for - meals, drinks, tips, excursions. Hate to spend the $ just because we have it. The only thing that isn’t paid for is what we would spend at the casino. Does anyone who have used these e Gift Certificates recently know if we put these in our on board account could we use them in the casino?

We love the Windjammer and will eat about 80% of our meals there. We love the food, the staff, and the casual atmosphere. We don’t care to make meals an event. We choose to go to the MDR on lobster night for one dress up night. That’s it! Just our style of cruising. 😊

Thanks Ken! That’s what we ended up doing. I booked the table for 4 while it was on sale and our friends will repay.

How do 2 couples pay separately for a specialty dining reservation when reserving in the cruise planner?
