We were on Freedom in 2014 and they had to take a prop off. They did it over in Nassau. We thought it was fun to watch, from what we could see. Most of the rest of the passengers weren’t amused. They brought in divers and we just sat for hours at the end of the dock watching the glow from under the ship one night. I bet it would have been faster and easier had they pulled into a dry dock…

The only thing I can think of is they are changing the itinerary and haven’t announced it yet.

No. You can use your 2 24 hours OR get the discount on the package.

We sail in May. Are you sure you’re looking at the Thrill instead of the Beach Club? Here are the prices I see for our trip. If yours is truly coming up at that high of a price, take your grandkiddo to one of the Disney waterparks instead. Either would be a fraction of the price and much more worth it.

Careful. A bunch of people are going to tell you you’re wrong. (Though I with you.)

More will probably show up as the months go by. For our 5 nighter Nassau/Cozumel at the beginning of this month, there were hardly any excursions until about two weeks before. All of the sudden, there were tons.

Make sure you don’t take them to the Crazy Quest. We saw things at the last one we’ve never seen at any of the pre-COVID Quests. 🍈🍈🍆

It’s hurricane season. They move a lot of ships’ homeports during hurricane season.

We had an aft balcony on Mariner and there was a lot of light for our eyes’ comfort. We have been on other ships where the balcony lights have not been great. You never can predict what you’ll get. If it’s that important to you, I’d suggest bringing a light just in case. FWIW, we have shifted to Kindles instead of books because they have backlights (in addition to several other reasons). Makes it so we don’t have to worry about lighting anymore.

On the Mariner on our sailing at the beginning of this month. The energy coming from his elevator was electric. We stood and watched him for a while and the u suspecting passengers. The sad thing was he was SO much better than the guy in the Schooner Bar. He was playing mostly slow and depressing songs.

ok. Thanks! The confusion is what I want to avoid. The nastiness that may be encountered isn‘t worth the extra savings to me. I’m not so concerned about getting a Chops reservation. We’ve found Chops to be so hit or miss that we hardly eat there anymore.

Have you ever run into any issues doing it this way once you are aboard? Because I’d much rather book it ahead of time using the preboarding price than the onboard.

You don’t get the option for beer until you hit D+. Finally just hit + which is why I know. 😂 Only took is 20 years. Went on our first cruise in 2002 for our honeymoon and then weren’t able to cruise that often because we worked for a certain theme park and wages weren’t conducive for that sort of thing. We left and were finally able to take two non-suite sailings a year about ten years ago. Just started in suites in 2019 and were a few points short at the shut down. So, it took us a while. We never complained about the “lack” of perks for the lower level of the C&A. That’s not how loyalty programs work and we understood that. Long-term loyalty is when you start seeing the benefits. .

That’s exactly what I do! And the eye roll that I get from him…….😂

I hadn’t heard about it up until the last year or so. My favorite backpack is covered in pineapples in all different directions. I was gonna buy a new one but decided it’d be funnier just to let people wonder and laugh.

Nope. I didn’t even know there was a monthly newsletter! 😵‍💫

I got the email about the voucher changes from 12:00am to 5:00am. But, not this one. Royal’s IT has taken the lead away from Disney as being the worst.

Your internet must be broken today.

When we sailed on Allure in October, they still had not started offering Blue Planet yet.

Which ship is this?

It was Surf and Stream.

That’s what it showed for ours on Mariner last week. So, $4.13 after gratuity.

We were on Mariner last week and the internet was horrid despite it saying Starlink. And to add insult injury, the cruise director kept touting how great Starlink was. Maybe they only had it turned on for the crew?

Thank you both! We’ll keep an eye out.

That’s be nice. The big ships can only go to certain ports. Need nice ships that are smaller for the rest of the ports. Can’t wait to see what the are.
