 Am I wrong, or does the annual Prime cruise not show in our accounts until mid-April or later? Has this changed?

Yes it'll be mid April when it shows. Which is why I'm hesitant to book unless they'd be able to adjust the booking and apply the free offer once it's available

We'll both be getting our annual prime tier room in a month, so I'm thinking I'm better off to just get the general booking number and call once I have that offer? I'm not sure if I booked now, I'd be allowed to apply our annual prime to the booking if already made 

Is there any advantage to going down to future cruise desk today on board Odyssey to book a next cruise or am I essentially getting the same by doing the future booking through the app? We have a cruise picked for 2024, so even if we go down to future bookings, they can never do anything with the casino rates anyway and I have to wait and call casino royale anyway. The cruise certificates earned for playing in the casino this week don't extend that far out.

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know if any alcoholic drink packages are offered onboard once the sailing gets underway?

 

I've been tempted to pre purchase the Deluxe Package but ANOTHER price increase to it today (2 weeks before

sailing) has put me off.

 

Thanks in advance for any info/advice/tips etc regarding this.

 

Happy cruising all.

Currently on Odyssey and I saw boarding day the drink package was $98 per day and second person got half off. 

Found this interesting tonight at Izumi so figured I'd share. Previously with the ultimate dining, you'd get 1 small plate and 2 large plates. Those two large plates consisted of 8 pieces of sushi each. It was too much food. 

Tonight, with ultimate dining, you still get 1small plate and 2 large however each large plate is only 4 pieces now. I asked when it changed and he said about a month ago, but it only applies to the ultimate dining package. If you order and pay a la cart, you still get the 8 pieces for each large plate. 

This is on Odyssey. 4 is still plenty but another cost cut for their already increased dining package prices. 

With the booking, it was including $75 free play. Our confirmation shows the like that has FP listed. When I go into my account, the only free play that was there was the usual couple bucks everyone gets. Do I need to go to the host or something to get the $75 added to my account? I assumed it'd be automatic.

Jus to clarify 

OP asked about Nellies Cabanas and not Barefoot 
just highlighting two completely different beaches and cabana locations

 

Happy Days!

Oops he's right, the drawing picture is of barefoot.. But, similar concept at Nellie's, would expect the over the water to be more than waterfront, not the other way around that is currently is. So weird. Unless Royals IT mixed them up which wouldn't surprise me. Not sure why the waterfront ones would sell out over the over the waters when waterfront was double the price.

Never did Nellie's cabanas but the over the waters were always more expensive at Barefoot than beach front. There was no real difference between that actual cabanas except location.

That's my thoughts. Makes zero sense why overwater are half the price of "waterfront" which my guess is are ones on the shore. 

Anyone? 

From what I can find online, I would assume w1-w6 are over the water, and h1-5 are hilltop, and then I guess b1-2 are maybe the waterfront? But why would those be double the waterfront when normally it's the other way around..

Trying to figure out the difference in these two cabana types at Labadee.. Shouldn't over the water be more expensive than waterfront? I guess I can't figure out what the difference is thinking of the different cabana in Labadee.

Man this is making me ready for my cruise. Loving the report! 

Anyone with any experience regarding the suite deck on Navigator? 

Will be following along! We're doing southern Caribbean next week on Odyssey so excited to see your week!

Been enjoying the afternoon shade on our balcony. Costa Maya, the port that can be enjoyed in person or from the ship. 
 

 

The stop at the Mexican Pharmacy has helped

amazingly. Hope @Yorkvillaindoesn’t make a third split to his screen with this photo. 
 

 

So.. What did you take to help? My ankles balloon up every time we cruise to the Caribbean.. Humidity, alcohol, and Sodium for a week doesn't bode well for the ankles! 

Bringing this thread back to life.. Has anyone had any luck getting "an extra drink for the road" etc on the way to dinner? Essentially walking out with two drinks to go? Curious if anyone has had any luck based on experience? 

Definitely going to try and use the 50% off beer coupon for a pitcher next week on Odyssey. Save those diamond vouchers for the expensive mixed drinks. It'd be awesome if my wife and I could get 2 pitchers are beer each throughout the cruise for like $9 a pitcher.

I was not able to use my daily vouchers to have the amount applied against the cost of a pitcher and pay the difference, I was only able to apply my on board 50% off D+ benefit.

Is diamond also 50%? I've never really paid attention to the percent off benefit for x amount of beers. 

How is the suite deck on Navigator? The last time we were on it, it was the stadium seating but I believe that's changed 

Anyone? 

I'm trying to confirm my thought.. The below cabana isn't one that is just set in the sand on the beach and it's one that's built into the rocks with direct water access, right? The "Beach cabana" piece is throwing me off. There is one labeled as just "Beach cabana at Nellie's Beach" which is the one I'm thinking is just in the middle of the beach sand. 

A handful of grand suites are available online so likely would get one of those if I did. Smaller balcony but would get access to suite lounge and suite sun deck. We get free drinks in the casino when they're open being prime so drinks in the suite lounge aren't that big of a deal.
