I know a lot of folk will jump on here and say it's not worth it... certainly is for a solo 2 nighter. Wasn't trying to rehash that constant debate. I really enjoyed the embarkation Chops food and having them take my 2 bags and hand deliver to my room. Just wanted to remind folk to check sales. It wasn't on sale yesterday when the Labor Day sales started. Prices change continuously. I check a few time a day.

The cheapest The Key had been was $24.99 for my early Dec 2 night solo sailing but this morning it went down to $16.99. I bought it. Voom Surf was $15.99 and Surf/Stream $19.99.

I sleep on down pillows at home. Whatever was in my Freedom JS in May was just as comfortable.

My insurance paid for my Walgreens one a few weeks ago.

My last trip in May solo I bought a little tray from Amazon and brought food from WJ to my balcony. I'd think you could order dinner in MDR and ask for everything to arrive same time and then pile onto tray and take away. I had the Key and for the welcome lunch they kindly covered the plates for me to take up to Johnny Rocket's table to eat outside.

It's been $160 for months for my Dec cruise. I got for $89 last year during Black Friday sale but I have a feeling won't be as cheap during that sale this year. The cruises are fully booked and folk are spending money after the pandemic pause.

Just because there were no Jr Suites available when you booked hopefully you know there's a good chance you'll still end up in one of those and that that would be ok for you. But hope you get better!

Saw this in a review for A2 Solstice toward aft. "For the first cruise, we were in cabin 1642. The cabin was fine but the balcony was a disaster. There was a huge air intake above the patio door which made so much noise that we could not use the balcony. On the second cruise, we were moved to cabin 1638. The balcony did not have the air intake but cabins on both sides did so the noise was as bad. I cannot understand why these were installed on balconies in aqua class. We complained a lot and finally got a $250 on board credit. I really don't think this was sufficient for the loss of enjoyment of our balcony for both cruises." I see the air intakes looking at pictures... Looks like starboard side 1626,1628,1630,1632,1636,1640,1642. Anyone else have an issue with these air intake vents and balcony enjoyment? I was just able to upgrade to 1628 after a price decrease. thanks!
