Within an hour of posting this, our cabin was assigned Deck 11 near the back elevators. It is interesting that our friends who also booked GTY (their reservation is linked to ours) was assigned the cabin next to us!! Nice job Royal. We also was given an Infinity Balcony instead of an Oceanview Balcony, so this is somewhat of an upgrade?

Barcode trick is not working. It also shows GTY.

It's Tuesday and our Saturday reservation on the ICON is still showing GTY (Guarantee Ocean Balcony). I know it can be assigned anywhere up to and including the day of sailing. But is anyone in the group that has actual info on when recent sailings of the ICON had their guaranteed cabin assigned?

Has anyone used the BOGO for Special dining lunch, or can it only be used for dinner?

We are starting to plan our transpacific from Hawaii to Sydney for this Fall. We have a stop in the Auckland, New Zealand. The cruise planner only shows 2 excursions one an All Black Rugby Club and the other is to a farm. Neither one sounds very exciting for us. Has anyone been to Auckland and can suggest what to do while there? Is there a chance Royal will add some more Auckland excursions at a later date?

On Oct 31 we will be boarding the Odyssey of the Sea leaving out of Rome doing a TA to Ft. Lauderdale. We are arriving in Rome 3 days before the cruise. Question on Pre-cruise testing for anyone have recently cruised out of Rome. As of now we will still need to provide a neg. COVID test. I know we can purchase and bring the eMed tests. But how easy is it to find a local testing site in Rome & the cost of a local test. I wasn't planning on bringing a laptop, so I don't know how easy it will be to do the eMed test on a cell phone. Thanks for any advice/experience you might have.
