Will do.  If you don’t mind, please let us know when yours is received.  Thanks!

Sure thing.   FYI, I called this morning and they said 10 business days, so I hope by next week.    Earlier this summer it was about 2 business days in reality.

That’s my fear.  Of course, I’ll post an update when this is resolved.

Please follow up and keep us posted.  Waiting on a shore excursion refund myself from a 11/18 cancellation.  

Getting cheaper 2 people 1 device   vs   1 person 2 device.  So strange.

First time I've seen a mushroom soup complaint.   This is SERIOUS BUSINESS!

put kids in connecting inside room next door or across hall.

Any Don Julio 1942 sightings.   I've seen it on the menu at Sabor on Harmony - but NO bottles in stock anywhere!   

yes.   I do this with deluxe beverage packages for myself/spouse.   Each time price drops cancel and rebook.   The only issue I have heard of is with Excursions - sometimes they are not available to rebook if they are close to being sold out or sold out - even after you cancel.

I had some trouble on a recent Harmony of the Seas cruise.  We were told that Hibachi had to be booked at Izumi and could not be done at any other restaurant.  This led to crazy lines at Izumi.  I was at Izumi at 11:30am on boarding day and could not get a DINNER at the Hibachi for the entire week on Harmony.

Ok. I'm checking in tomorroww via the app. Very excited. Returning to Symphony!

If your app opens for check-in tomorrow, you can do it tonight (at 12:01am) to secure the earliest time.   Be sure to have passports ready to scan in.

On all our cruises this year they’ve never checked our boarding time.

Did you arrive on time or at 10am?   Did you not show your set sail pass to the person at the counter that checks id?

The non-refundable price will be higher, but you can see it if you continue with booking process almost to the end (but don't actually book it).

Haven't heard of ANY stories of people allowed in early... only stories of people NOT allowed in. 

Prior to Covid you could show up whenever.   Now, post Covid, the time IS the time to board.  The only way to get around this is to purchase "The Key" or turn back time and check in exactly after midnight on the first day you can select times.     Otherwise, you will wait, outside, until your boarding time.

I saw this on another thread:   

People who want to sleep in will never get a spot near the pool.

People who wake up early at 7am (like I do) and go to the pool and grab their spot (and maybe one for their spouse) always get a spot by the pool.

I keep my a$$ in chair, while waiting for said spouse to wake.  I may get up for 10 minutes to get a refill on my coffee.

When spouse arrives, we take 10 minutes to grab a plate of food from WJ to bring back to chairs to eat.

Sunbathe all day.   Getting up for 10-20 minutes at a time to cool off by nearby pool.

return to chair.  Apply sunscreen.   Leave chair empty for a few minutes to take a potty break.

Noon arrives... watch people who got to sleep in all morning get all pissy that the empty chair in the hot sun has a towel on it. 

Sit in my chair with my drink and continue to enjoy my day.

repeat.  Pool, drink, sunscreen, potty break.

3pm arrives, grab belongings, return towels, go to room to take nap (since I woke at 7am to get this prime spot while you slept in).

Wake, eat, party all night.

Repeat.

Thanks for the clarification.   Didn't realize they don't do veggies in smoothies.

I am loving the pictures, but I'm curious why you were upset about the staff appeasing the woman ordering the fruit juiced that was custom blended with spinach - yet you post pics of CUSTOM food ordered in MDR that is not on the menu?   #Irony  (yes, I realize you were in line behind her, but I'm sure the chef working on your special meals had other meals to prepare as well!)

Missing cruise.  Added it back.   But then no excursions can be added now.  Frustrating.  Will wait this out.

Thanks everyone for all the comments... what a great discussion.     For all those "ship over itinerary folks":   the HARMONY OF THE SEAS was incredible and is easiest my favorite ship so far.

I have an upcoming cruise booked on Oasis - not because of the itinerary (NY->Port Canaveral-> Nassau-> Coco Cay) but because of the ship:  Oasis.  We loved Harmony last month as our first Oasis class ship, and we are looking forward to doing another Oasis ship (this one with embarkation within driving distance from home).    I was telling a coworker about this upcoming cruise and he was like: "other than Coco Cay, those ports kinda suck!")   He is right, but I don't care.  We have a balcony, love the clubs, and will be doing unlimited dining!   Has anyone else booked a cruise primarily because of the ship?  

Whoops.  I need Symphony 7270 also... thank you.

Bed is near the balcony for Both Oasis and Harmony

Thanks!!    Can you tell me how you found that out?   Would love to go to whatever site you were at - in case i get another room.  Thank you.

Very specific question:  does anyone know if room 7266 has the bed near the balcony side of room or near the bathroom side.   I prefer rooms with the couch being the first thing when you enter the room for more room.  Any revies/pictures out there?    Same question for Harmony 7270.   TIA!

Where, exactly, is this other lot?   I am on Oasis next June and multiple ships will be in/out of Bayonne.    Thanks.
