The cabin we are looking at is 2365.

We have sailed in several Cove balconies and never had a sewer smell in the cabin or on the balcony. Regarding noise, this cabin is over the forward portion of the Galley. And, yes, there is a lifeboat.

Who is the current Maitre`d on the Fantasy?

If it's windy on deck 5 at the bow, try the Panorama.

If you purchase a wine package, could you use one of those bottles instead? 

Yes.

Is a dining room open for sit down lunch or no?

Not the MDR. But some are like the Italian, Sushi, etc.

RE restrooms, I believe he was referring to the conditions in the Stadium and not the ship.

We are doing a B2B in Feb 2021, so we get to do both East and West.  🙂

Thanks for the info. They don't have a movie theater or outside big screen. How do kids wind down in the evenings.

Tablets with pre-loaded entertainment.

Could you tell me if the price shown on the drinks menus is before or after tax

Thank you

It's before tax. You will only pay tax in the home port and maybe a few others. The price listed does not include the 18% gratuity either.

There are only 2 levels now. We always buy the second level.

This was super helpful!!! Thank you so much!!

You're quite welcome. Enjoy your cruise.

Been there, done that!  🙂  🙂

Regarding where the self serve laundry rooms are, go the this link:

Find cabin 2365 and you will see the laundry room across the hall. You can check other decks to see where the closest room is to your cabin. 🙂

Oooops!  I just noticed  my spelling error.  I misspelled Magic.  I need a cruise now!

I agree. You also referred to them as Dine-In movies.  🙂

So there are shade trees?  Do others do what you suggest or was it just you?

We do exactly the same. Get away from the crowds and get some free shade with a breeze and a great view.

OK, good approach. Hopefully you will not need your 'insurance plan' and can cancel FTTF.   🙂

That is correct.  My tags for my first leg of my upcoming BTB (for which I bought FTTF) have the FTTF circle logo on them.  My tags (which I will not need) for the second leg (on which I will be Platinum) just have the red Priority banner.

I thought that if you turn Platinum on your second cruise of a B2B (same ship) you would be Platinum on leg 1. I seem to remember reading that on this board a while back. I may be wrong, but it might be worth a call to make sure your 2 cruises are linked. Let us know what you find out.

I didn't have those cabins but not far from the IMAX and heard nothing and also my cabin was a connecting one and we never heard a sound from the cabin next door. The connecting door is not thin it is metal like your entry door. Don't know if this helps you but this was my experience.

Thanks, that's good to know.

Don't know about IMAX noise, but those 2 cabins are connecting" cabins and I've heard that you can hear what's going on in the next cabin because the connecting doors are thin.

Duplicate post.

Yeah, there's good TA's out there (bad ones too), but unless you've actually experienced a good PVP, you shouldn't rush to discredit them.

Your description of your PVP sounds just like mine. She cruises so she knows a lot about good vs bad cabin choices. She has also given us her cell number. And, when she is going to be out of town, she gives us the name and number of a PVP who will be covering for her.

We have had that when there was only a couple of Diamonds. Once we are the only Diamonds so had very interesting private hour with captain on his bridge.

That sounds great. Hope we are the only Diamonds on a future cruise.  :-)

Only other way is to cruise  a lot and become Diamond. They will often offer as diamond benefit tea with the captain on the bridge

Never had that offered in the past two years. Only lunches, meetings in a small room, large luncheons on  Journey's cruises.
