Thanks for the great review and help pass the time until our turn on Lady O in 2 weeks.  What's your thoughts on the CP balcony vs ocean view balcony?  We'll be trying it out for the first time too.

Personally I would spend the time on the ship and put the money elsewhere. Disney or some park closer to where you live. With so many other people being off the ship it will be just that much nicer to be on it. Now if RC didn't charge an arm and a leg then it might be worth it to go. Considering you already paid for the fun stuff on the ship I would just stay on it. You can always get off to go an the beach and the bbq.

If you haven't been to Coco Cay since it's been refurbished, I definitely suggest you check it out!  So much to do without spending money.  Go to the Oasis Lagoon, the pool with the swim up bar.  There's also the Beach, and plenty of food options.  I went in December, didn't spend any money, and it truly was the perfect day!  Looking forward to going back in November!!

There's a Margaritaville right there at the port with a pool, swim up bar, along with entertainment.  That's what I plan on doing next month.

Celeste

It was great following you all week, reliving my cruise from last month. We did many of the same things, Margaritaville, Nachi Cocom. From the photo gallery we picked a few pictures and had them put on coffee mugs and a mouse pad. Best souvenirs of the trip that we use constantly, and not that expensive.

Celeste

Captain Johnny! Love him! A month ago on our Harmony sailing we had Captain Gus.

I also had a great chocolate martini at the Rising Tide bar. Such attention to detail, I almost hated to drink it to ruin the presentation! Almost, lol. Have a fabulous cruise, and calm seas.

Celeste

I just called the other day to redeem points for an upcoming cruise.

Call 1-888-305-4626, give them your reservation # and tell them you are just confirming the obc.

Oh no, the "last night blues". The worst is seeing the luggage in the hallway. Loved having your review to check out every day. Hope the seas aren't too rough for you. And thanks for the picture of the 2 of you. Always nice to put a face to a name.

Safe travels home.

Celeste

Awesome pictures and videos! Who doesn't love Disney, right? And the launch, amazing!!

Will be tuning in tomorrow for my daily dose! Thanks for taking the time to do all this. Maybe a picture of you and your wife coming soon?

We had the BEST TIME watching the Patriots AFC championship game in January with this view in 70+degree weather. Even better that they won and went on to win the Superbowl!!

(sorry, you're probably not a Patriots fan being from NJ, but it is a memory I won't forget!)

Celeste

One question about your cabin. We're in a D8 next April on Anthem (deck 7) and the pics and videos I've seen on here and on youtube of the balcony cabins show some with cabinets over the sofa and some without. Do you or does anyone know what determines that?

If the bed is by the balcony there are only cabinets over the bed, not the sofa. If the bed is by the entry door, that's when you get cabinets over the bed and the sofa.

Celeste

Hope the videos are coming through?

Yes, I can see your videos no problem. As far as your wife's question about leaving your seapass in the slot, you can just use any card and leave it there. Wouldn't recommend a credit card, but I used my local supermarket rewards card. Take advantage of the ship not being full yet and do the North Star and bumper cars.

You captured my favorite spot onboard, the solarium Jacuzzi! Have a wonderful cruise!!!

Celeste

I did Northstar twice. It really isn't as bad as it looks. Kinda like looking out of the window of a building. The view was so nice I forgot to be scared.

Denise.

Hi Denise! Yes, you did the Northstar with me on your birthday!! And then the group get together at Schooner for a bday drink. Great reminiscing! Looks like we had better weather in January, always blue skies and no rain.

Celeste

Hi Chris!

Sooooo looking forward to your review! I was on the 1/11/15 first 12-night sailing and loved every minute of it!!! I really enjoyed dynamic dining and eating at different restaurants every night with new friends, from 4 of us to sometimes 10. Can't wait to relive my cruise through you.

Have a blast!

Celeste

Wonderful! I'm glad I stumbled upon your live review by accident. I was on the January 11 12-night sailing, and then followed Radio's live review and now yours. I feel like I'm on a back to back to back! So thank you!

Celeste

They include other alcohol. They will make just about any mixed drink that doesn't require a blender....i.e. martini, etc.

Drink coupons are not good in the dining room and a couple of other venues that I can't remember right now. At least that is the way it was on our cruise. Both lounges were packed!

When we ate at Devinly Decadence the waitress told me that got changed and you can order the free drinks, so I did. Same thing at American Icon. They even had the Diamond drink menu available.

Celeste

So is it between 6pm and 8:30pm drinks are free for Diamond Plus members at all bars onboard or just the Diamond Lounge, Concierge Club and Music Hall.

 

Is it just wine or do they include other alcohol?

 

Jimbo:)

For Diamond and above, 3 drink vouchers are loaded onto your seapass card to use between 5-8:30 daily. In the Diamond Lounge, it's unlimited drinks and they don't deduct off your pass, that's why it's so crowded. You can go to any bar to get your free drinks. It is limited, but they offer vodka, gin, whiskey, beer, wine, etc. There's a list to choose from.

Celeste

On the January 11 sailing we made it to the Diamond Lounge twice. It was way too crowded. We mainly went to the Music Hall, which was right next door. After they see you are Diamond or above, they don't even bother taking the drinks off the seapass card and you can still use it at other bars as long as it's by 8:30.

Celeste

Hi Radio!

I'm so excited to read your live review. I just got off yesterday and had a wonderful 12-night sailing. We had perfect 85 degrees at all the islands. Sorry you are having rough seas. I was also on deck 8 but you have a better balcony than I did, same bed setup near the balcony door.

I really enjoyed dynamic dining and eating with "friends", sometimes just 4 of us, sometimes up to 10. Better than being herded in like cattle in MDR.

Jimmy was on my sailing and will be on vacation for 2 months.

p.s. casino isn't very loose with sharing money. Don't waste much money there, lol.

Happy sailing!

Celeste

Can one still bring two bottles of wine on board? Thanks!

Yes. You are allowed two 750ml bottles per cabin.

Awesome! Will definitely be following this live review, as I am on the January 11 sailing!!!! Thank you!

Celeste

We love Chops and always make a point of going there at least once on every cruise. We've never been disappointed.

Celeste

Good luck with getting a free upgrade. I've been on 16 Royal Caribbean Cruises and never been given a free upgrade.

I've heard so many great things about aft balcony cabins that I'd stick with that. I'm hoping to book my first aft cabin in the very near future.

Have fun on your cruise!

Good news!

I checked the ship's webcam and it is at sea! Looks like you are all set to sail on Sunday!!!!!!

@loyalroyal17 I was looking at majesty also because of key west, we've never been there and always seems like such a fun place! But, having been on the majesty before, I am really looking forward to the enchantment, thinking we may even stay on board in Nassau. We'll see...

 

Thanks for sharing :-)

In Nassau we stayed on the ship while most people got off, so it was nice having a lot more room on the pool deck. Later in the afternoon we went in town shopping, and enjoyed drinks and a snack at Senor Frogs. Great, fun atmosphere and glad we got off for awhile.

Enjoy your cruise!
