This is great to hear. We are on the Adventure in May and my husband loves the flowrider and spends every bit of time using it when it is open. Glad to hear that the key times are in the afternoon or at least on the Liberty. Hoping that will be the case on the Adventure.

We really enjoyed the Navigator of the Seas in December (before refurb) when we cruised on her but did notice there were much less staff on board and a lot of trash on the pool deck. How was it when you were on board?

I usually visit the LA on the first day to change up my wines depending on what I am in the mood for. I always find it odd that they send up snacks with gluten in them on each of my cruises even though my profile is set up that I have celiac's disease and can't have gluten.

I'm on the Indy in June (solo). It's a 14 nighter and only paid $240 to upgrade from an Inside to a Large Oceanview hump balcony. That was a no brainer.

I'm not to sure I would pay that much for a royal upgrade especially for a balcony but I am going to assume you had an Interior stateroom?

Spring break is pretty much the whole month of March.

I was actually responding to Radio in regards to her statement that Diamond Plus amenties have not changed.

D plus no longer gets the special seating in the theater and ice show. They've also changed the Concierge lounges to suite lounges on a majority of ships so D plus is now confined to Diamond Lounge or using the preloaded drinks on see pass card.

Correct. I just show them at the pier my military retiree ID card.

We have not found a military discount on any of our cruises booked lately. They are few and far between now!

I take our portable diffuser and have never had a problem.

WE booked it for our upcoming Mariner cruise. It's a four night with two sea days. Hoping to get our monies worth.

Interesting. Do you get an email letting you know?

WE received the email two days ago to Royal Up on our Adventure cruise on May 5th. We are currently booked in a JS. Starting bids for a GS was $200 pp and $300 pp for OS. We bid on both as we snatched up the JS at a very good rate when it opened up a while back. Curious to see if we get the upgrade. They also offered the RS for $1000 pp but we were not willing to pay that much. Does anyone know how long you have to wait?

So many folks remove them on the last sea day. It is sad. I think they should just build the tips into the cruise fare. This is the only way to ensure that the staff get paid.
