Progressives generally have lower payout odds than non progressive machines.

What's considered a progress machine?

For those of y’all boarding Sunday have you had any information from Royal?

Nothing official yet.  Trying to creep other threads to see any updates. 

Sorry for the lack of updates but it was and still is a lazy day onboard. Many others choose to stay onboard with us as well. I had some awesome naps in the solarium, indoor pool area and the outdoor pool area :)

 

Our only neighbor today, Carnival Ecstasy..

 

 

Pool was extremely empty earlier but is now packed as the temps are hitting 80 or hotter in the sun!

With out looking into it, I have no definitive answer regarding purchasing before hand or onboard.. maybe before hand there are some discounts? Hopefully someone can chime in to offer some clarification.

SOMETIMES you can catch good deals online, but you usually always get a deal by booking on the ship (first day you will find people outside the speciality restaurants with promotions). And usually night 1 is cheaper as well.

Thank you Seadog for all the great information you're providing all of us during "your" vacation! I'm not sure if you can answer this or possibly anyone following along? We're on the March 9th, 8 day sailing and have purchased the drink package however there have been differing opinions as to what the package limit is per drink. I've seen both $12 and $13, the latter being stated for Quantum and Oasis class ships. Can you or anyone following please confirm what it may be?

 

Thank you in advance!

We are on the 3/9 Anthem cruise as well!!

Thank you! So, could my 11 year old son wear khaki shorts and a polo? Or absolutely no shorts at dinner, even if they are nice shorts and it's casual night?

Yes that would be ok attire. (I see it all the time). Just make sure it’s not on formal night.

They also have a limo golf cart that will Drop you off at the cabanas so you don’t have to walk to them. Happy Sailing!!!!

Oh good! We had that at Labadee and it saved my husband a long trip when we got to the cabana and I realized I left my camera!!

Sometime last year the cabanas at Coco Cay moved to a new area, near where the wave runners are. They are right on the beach now and have their own upgraded lunch area.

Thank you. That’s good to know!

Hello,

The last cabana we stayed in was on Labadee in the suites only section (believe it was Barefoot Beach). My question is - it appears that the cabanas on CocoCay (I’ve never been) are not as secluded and are not as close to the beach. Frankly - they don’t look as nice either.

Can anyone give me details and if you have used both cabanas what your experience was?

Also - which cabana did you like best as CocoCay?

Thank you in advance for your KIND words.

Thank you for your review. I just got my email last week that Derick will be our Genie on Anthem as well. Our cruise is 3/9/18, and I’m very much looking forward to it! (Aren’t we all!) This will be our first time doing Star Class as well.

I find this hard to believe.

Your response makes no sense regarding my question...thanks though...

Have not seen an over-water cabana in Coco Cay.

It was in Labadee. I’m hoping Cococay has the same.

Hello! With Star Class - in Cococay - i was told by a RC agent over the phone that the cabana was no extra charge. Can someone please confirm if that’s correct? When we last went to Labadee, (we were Sky Class though) and it was almost $450 (we did the over the water cabana, and that’s what I want again!). Our cruise is in March, so hopefully they are back to functional by then (from the hurricane).

No, your Genie will arrange reserved seats at every show.

Thank you!

Hello! For star class (we have star class booked for our upcoming March cruise) do we need to pre-book shows online?

Sent from my iPad using Forums

Hoping all goes well! We are scheduled for the 9/3 cruise on Liberty.

A few days prior to the cruise we used the Loop to send a test communication with our Genie Alexandra to see if we were linked, and after a few hours we heard back. Perfect.

 

So on embarkation day we ordered our Uber and then proceeded to call the Genie at the number we were instructed to. Without it even ringing at our end the phone immediately goes a voice message stating the following "This number is not available".

 

Wait, what?? So I hit redial. Same message. I check the email to see if I am dialling the right number and yes I am. OK then, Uber is still coming and we are still headed to port.

 

I know, I said to Lisa, we can send a Loop message. So we did, stating that we are on our way and if Alexandra needed us she could call my cell. Perfect, easy peasy. As we are pulling into terminal 18 I try calling the cell number one last time and wait for it... the number is still unavailable.

 

Our Uber driver pulls up to the Terminal 18 and we get out along with our luggage. We say our farewells and that's when things start going downhill in a bad way.

 

Unfortunately that's where I'm going to have to leave if for tonight, but I will be back tomorrow.

 

 

What a cliffhanger! [emoji6]

Congratulations to your son and his team for winning their tournament!

Thanks so much for these recent picture. My husband and I have this same room booked (1724) on Harmony for the 5/5/18 sailing! We are taking my brother as a graduation present. My one thing I don't like is no privacy screen for upstairs.

From your pictures, I see you can see like the basketball court really well, but do you have a good side view of the ocean? (If we look directly below the balcony, will we see water or other rooms)?

Also- what's your periscope name?!

Thanks again!!

My husband and I did snuba diving in St Maarten and it was the best excursion ever! We loved it and can't wait to do it again on our next cruise!

Here is a video I found hope it helps

Thanks; however, that video is for a royal loft suite, we have a grand loft suite

Sent from my iPhone

Just upgraded from a SLS to a Grand Loft Suite! Anyone have any feedback? It was hard finding pictures/videos online. All I'm seeing are quantum class and Oasis. Nothing for Allure (which is the ship we have this booked on).

Here is a suggestion. If you prefer not to walk past someone's decorated door, then make sure you have two possible ways to arrive at your door. Don't get stuck far forward or aft where you only have one way to access your door. That way you might be able to avoid walking by a decorated door. Heaven forbid if you find your cabin in between two decorated doors, though!

 

As if choosing the perfect cabin was not difficult enough.

HAHA! Preach it!!
