Bon Voyage.  Have a great cruise!

Thank you!   Been waiting  over a year to get on this ship...   Not disappointed at all so far

Sail Away...   RCL Symphony.   Another beautiful ship 

rooms are nice.  A little smaller on the inside than Escape but not complaining..

Thank you for the reply. Did you e-mail the pre-cruise concierge with the lounger request or with the concierge on the Bliss? Can you book the race cars with the concierge?

You can reserve times and the week pass witch concierge.  We booked a couple of weekly passes and three one ride passes , no problem at all.   (Will post if it’s worth doing weekly or not later.  I suspect even though there is a separate line it may take a bit to get on.  TBD

Day 1 daily.  In case anyone wants to see.

Thank you for sharing your cruise.  Were the lounge chairs already on the balcony or did you ask the butler or room steward for them?

I requested via email with the cooncierge.  Basically they can book anything.  Comedy was full tonight but they booked us in.

Yes it is Haven only...  one important note for Haven.  Deck 17 has a larger balcony than deck 18.  Definitely go for deck 17 on Bliss.  See photos.  Basically deck 17 can fit two lounges. Deck 18 is table and chairs...

This is the outside part of the Haven restaraunt.  Margaritaville is free first day for lunch.  Food republic dinner is 50% off on first night.  I can’t stress enough how good food republic is, we will be heading there tonight.   Trying to find out if this is Haven on free Margarita or whole ship.  Standby 

Going to post a bunch of photos while In port

On at 10:30

They still don’t have the new cruise terminal open yet (Dec 2019) but the old area is not too bad.  

I expect this Haven to be overcrowded like Getaway.   So far Escape has been the best Haven of them all.  Right amount of rooms,sauna  and two indoor spas.  This restaurant is like Escape with outdoor seating which is awesome.  Will get pics later tonight.

Gates opened at 10. Checked in with  coffee and snacks at 10:07.  Nice!

Basically with their promos you pay for the first 2 and guests sail free or something like that.   If we waited a week more the cruise almost doubles so you do have to book early and travel a little off peak.  If you can go off season many get upgrades into Haven and its a steal

We are staying in the 2 bedroom family villa which we normally get.  Have a family of 5 so the price for the villa is same as balconies on Royal and Haven is so worth it!

Got in line at 8 and made the chairs.  Agent said usually around 9:30 for security.   Just don’t want to RUSH so we came early.

The last time I did a blog was with the app which was awesome.   Right now this website crashes a lot.  Going to have to get creative.

Will post pics and answer questions about this amazing new ship!!  

We booked the daily and weekly racetrack passes.  Did not try 

laser tag but we wanted the express line on track due to the wait times we heard about.  They also got us reservations for los lobos and Q even though they were sold out on the website.  You pay for Haven so make sure you take advantage.
