I love California rolls, bite your tongue! Don't care about authenticity, just what tastes good to me. And that....is definitely subjective...one's man trash is another man's sushi.

MMMM in Hawaii you can even get pretty good poke at Costco LOL

I think it's worth it, although I've certainly had better and he as an "Aficionado" will have had the best, so it's all relative. I'd still pay for it or just some luncheon rolls at least. He may be surprised, I love the dragon rolls.

Go here and look for yourself, you don't have to have the email, they will tell you here: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/booked/cruise-room-upgrade

My cruise buds give a cruise bag of goodies every cruise, several back I bought everybody metal straws with carabiner that clips onto my sea pass springy wrist thingy or tuck into the Ta Ta bank. I hardly know it's there but it sure comes in handy. Lipstick is the main motivator for me. I hate those paper things.

Maybe some will reply to my question??? How long before departure did you get word you were accepted? For our first I'm pretty sure it was 2 weeks out. Day of Departure 1 week out 2 weeks out 3 weeks out Or longer Not a long discourse just the amount of time please. Thanks

I would if they'd give me one!

Nope, we have Grandeur Sept 26th 4 day, Odyssey in December

Back in the day....way back in the day this was possible, but I have tried doing this on multiple occasions and the answer has always been "Sorry, we're booked up" HOwever, we once were upgraded to a balcony on Liberty when we could not sleep in our Deck 2 interior because it was right under the skating venue ladies room and the cleaning staff woke us at 3:00 every morning, they came listened and the next thing ya know we were moved to Decka 9 I think it was and I had only asked to be shuffled around on deck 2. Nice!

It started out at $1960. Then thanks to Merion Mom, adjustment went down to $1405!!! The Grandeur bid is for the same amount we paid on an interior with no window up to a Spacious Oceanview with huge window.

The bid is on next month's Grandeur shorti. I get a bigger window LOL. The adjustment was on Odyssey

Same here and to see if my bid was accepted!!!!!!!!!!! So far my original fare for Odyssey cannot be bested $1407 Balcony after one price adjustment. Closest I've seen so far is in the $1600s. I still say it pays to book early. Again THANK YOU Merion Mom

Thanks, I found that very interesting. #5 should be at the #1 spot IMHO. The quality (or lack of it) of the food has been a main focus in almost every thread on Cruise Critic. Extremely important how the quality of food has suffered over the years. The cooking of that food is of less importance to me. The quality is key. I expect the freshest ingredients, the most tender meats etc. If they can address that on ICON, I will be there.

Well, I can see we are just about one word from removal!

When they disperse them equally, you then cannot make exceptions for bad or good service. The tips should be left to the customer...period. We like to let it ride and on the last day determine whether we have received good service, tip in envelopes and/or add more to the envelope on top of theirs. We are not cheap, if it's earned I'd give them the moon, and on occasion have just about done that for some. But I resent service personnel with an entitlement attitude and unfortunately, there have been a few like that over our 26 year cruising experience. We have elected not to tip at all on 2 occasions. Both room stewards. The other thing is, I run a tight ship. Most of the room I take care of, with the exception of cleaning the bathroom (I even use the toilet brush daily) and changing linens ( I even spread the bed, can't abide the bed in a kerfuffle) I am OCD and keep things extremely tidy. I've seen rooms as we walk by that are pig stys IMHO. I couldn't cruise like that. All our things are folded and put away and stay away in the drawers and closets. I have every respect and sympathy for our crew and appreciate them tremendously, but when things are substandard, don't mind letting the chips fall where they may.

Offer emailed last week, made my bid, we are now 38 days out, just want to hurry up and find out if my bid was accepted. Seems like the last time, I knew well before the cruise, but with so many saying, "I didn't find out until day of the cruise". It will be murder waiting so long. The ship is currently almost sold out completely. I couldn't upgrade even if I wanted to online.

No she didn't she just said "We're back to blue masks" and showed hers. I could be the port they were in or something. Don't have a clue. Yes, I know there is a time lag between when she posts, but she had said weeks ago that masks were no long mandated and now this! And she Did say "back to masks" so that denotes a gap when they were not needed.

OK but I still like Harmony's blue hull better!

But it will show at times, can't abide red. I like clean white lines and barely like the light blue either. Just me and MHO

Red hull??????? Nope nada....ick This is not Virgin!

Jordan Bauth reported crew stopped wearing masks last month on Voyager and then today, she has stated they are back to the blue masks again😝 So not holding my breath....ya never know!

Ours was $58.99 pp Sept 2021...who knows if it'll ever come down to that again. I wouldn't pay more than that anyway...not for just a less crowded venue and a lobster sandwich. We'll just stick with Lagoon pool and the regular fare.

He already said he was a frequent RCL cruiser.

Odyssey

Why would they even be monitoring points if they were not C&A members????
