I am sailing on the July 23rd - My parents just sailed last week and LOVED Mey Lau.  Is there a preference between Mey Lau and Danny Turner?  Do you know who will be CD on the 23rd sailing?

 

a CD doesn't make or break the cruise. Only yourself does.

You can easily get around the port area in a wheelchair.  Keep in mind that's it's between a 1/4 mile - 1/2 mile each way to get to the port area. Once there, no worries. The beach is less than 1/4 mile to the left once you get to the port area. Keep in mind it's HOT, with little shade. I say this for the person who's pushing the wheelchair.

CT3 is the newish Carnival terminal.  I'm surprised Royal is using it even as a port of call.

The Symphony has been using it since its been sailing from Bayonne. Last year the Oasis was doing this run, sailing Sunday-Sunday which means it was stopping at PC on a Tuesday. The Symphony sailings are Friday-Friday (until August), which means stopping in PC on a Sunday. My guess is that CT1 is not available.

The area by the bar when you first walk into the,WJ is used for accessible seating. At least part of it is 

Yes for both. But choose a late time for check in so a person who wants an early one can get it

I will say there is no lunch on Liberty for b2b folks. Not a tragedy but was kind of looking forward to it. 

We did the same B2B last year, and again this September and next September. We did have the B2B last year. I wonder what changed?

Iconic is the house band. They're on the Anthem for the past six months or so. But they are not a tribute band.

On the 5/24 sailing it was at five. Perhaps they are switching to the early, mid , and late seating that has been talked about?

Have sailed Anthem, and Oasis twice in recent years, and all had a rock band playing in Music Hall.  I will be sailing Odyssey this year but have not seen a rock band mentioned or in daily.  Does anyone know if they are bringing rock bands on and who or what?  The ship orchestra does not count as I saw that listed for music hall.  Thanks

They stopped bringing tribune bands to the Music Hall to O and Q class ships over a year ago in a cost cutting move.

Just $2 does the trick. Where you're docked depends on how many ships in port and size of the ship. Mega ships are usually docked the furthest out (at least a half mile walk). But three weeks ago we were on the Symphony (and the only ship there that day), and docked in a closet slip

Might be a dumb question but since this topic is already a thing, I might as well ask it. We're doing a b2b, in the same room, but since it's actually two different one-way sailings, we wanna get off and explore on the disembarkment-embankment day, is this gonna be an issue?

No. You'll be issued an in transit pass. That works in the US but not sure about foreign ports. Don't know where you're sailing from.

Only ICON and it was all you can eat in the WJ. 

Three weeks ago on the embarkation lunch in the WJ on the Symphony they had a raw bar of cold lobster tails, peeled jumbo shrimp, and tuna tartare. I've never seen that before. No limits.

Has anyone done this tour? Trying to decide if its worth the time and money. It's $80 which isn't too bad, but it's about a 75 minute ride each way. Any information would be appreciated.

We've done it many times too. It's great being a half hour from the port. Even on a January sailing, I'm wearing shorts by day 2 morning.

They do have an ice show too.

It depends on the waiter. Two weeks ago on the Symphony, our waiter brought out extras for us and we didn't even ask.

How do we find out what the schedule will be in December. Carnival has this info available. Does royal somewhere?

No. That's why this thread is here . Members post what they hear and Deltablue updates the thread.

Seems lunch in Giovanni‘s went away with the back-to-back pre meeting

In my experience, even though it was in the dining room, the menu appeared to be a modified Giovanni's,/ Chops menu.

If they have the ingredients, they will make it.

Getting to Emerald doesn't really get you much 

 Reaching Diamond gets you four free drinks s day

Try a travel agency. Sometimes they grab blocks of cabins and hold onto them for future bookings 

Day #8 - or Pizza?

I've done a few B2B the past few and never saw mention of a pre-, meeting.

Ask to speak to a supervisor or call your credit card company. Take the initiative yourself. That's just plain common sense.

I just realized I'm out of luck. The two times I'm in Barbados in 25 and 26 are Sunday, so basically nothing is open.
