I know there are more cabins available then Royal's US website shows. When I select two cabins (BTW: Thanks for the Great TIP), I can change the cabin #s to ones not listed. This is aggravating that the US online site limits our choice if we select only one cabin.

I'm ready to book a cabin and know which one I want. On the USA Royal Caribbean website, where or how can I select a particular cabin? I've looked high and low but only see Royal's choices in any category with no way of entering a different cabin number. Can I choose my cabin online or must I call Royal's sTAs. I know other cabins are available from viewing different websites.

Anyone have luck on the Royal's new website of placing a cabin on hold? After I sign in, the 24-hour hold message appears. I don't see it anywhere on the order form though.

Curious to know if courtesy hold is available on anyof Royal’s websites, either domestic and foreign? Has it been completely droppedeverywhere? For a while on the US site it was masked but still available.

Anyone who has sailed in the Eastern Caribbean during May,how is the weather, especially rain? It’s not an easy month to search on CCbecause the word ‘may’ is commonly used.

I found conflicting info, some forecast sites say April throMay is pleasant while others mention that St Thomas rainfall peaks in May.

We chartered (once) during May to the Abacos. Not only wasthe rain torrential but the mosquitos that followed it were the size of smalldogs. Is it also the raining season for the Eastern Caribbean too?

One More Question, Please...

If you make a $500 deposit for two on a 7-day cruise and one person cancels, would you forfeit $100? Would the remaining $150 be applied to the balance?

Is it true that Symphony will not have Wonderland? Wow, if that is true, that came and went quickly.

What will be in its place? Will the space revert into cabins or get another venue? Sorry if I missed this discussion or deck plans.

BTW, it's so interesting to see these ship being built. Thank you for posting the photos.

Hi All. Yes, the muster station was printed on two out of three setsail passes. We are on Harmony. I just checked again and still no muster station mentioned on the third cabin. It's so much easier to ask here than with Royal. So, you think this matter can be resolved quickly at check-in? I don't want to delay check-in....

I'm printing out our setsail passes for 3 cabins. Two has the muster station listed and one does not. Do I have to call Royal or can this be fixed at check-in?

They charge for water left on the desk? That's pretty sneaky. Usually anything left outside the mini bar is free. Good to know and I will tell the gang! Thanks

So, by using Royal IQ app linked into WiFi, you can send and receive iMessages. However, not on android phones. Is that correct?

Thanks Biker. Surely I thought some wouldn't be offered. Are there any dishes you recommend we try?

Hi Legion.....please tell me what dune buggy tour company you used in Cozumel. Our group did the island tour a few years ago but I cannot find the company. What a great buggy picture.

Hi, soon we sail Harmony. The last time we sailed, I compiled a list of cruiser's favorite MDR dishes. The menu has since changed, so are any of these dishes still available? Are they recommended?

Choco-Trino's FlourlessChocolate Cake, Key Lime Pie, Pumpkin Seed Rolls, Pistachio Ice Cream, RosemaryLamb Shank, Garlic Tiger Shrimp, Veal Oscar, Eggs Benedict, Mushroom PuffPastry, Vidalia Onion Tart and Coconut Shrimp. Also, are Pretzel Dogs servedin Mini Bites?

Just wondering. If you don't like the room or location, can you change it once onboard?

We are sailing Western Caribbean on Harmony. Does this ship have a Prohibition Party that is found on both Allure and Oasis? It was great fun, so we are hoping Harmony has this event too.

We are a party of five split between three reservations. During the special for Wonderland, I purchased five dinners online. Unfortunately after booking two, the timeslot was filled. I purchased three for the next available time believing I would modify them later. At least I locked in the sale price.

Apparently I cannot change the time online without paying the regular surcharge, so I called Royal. I’m told if I modify the reservations (same day but earlier time), I have to pay the regular fee. Again, I am not cancelling and rebooking, just changing the time.

Has anyone heard of this before?

We are making a dinner reservation at Wonderland for our upcoming cruise. If a timeslot is unavailable online, is it sold-out or are some tables held back for onboard booking?

How's that saying ....don't assume anything.

I thought all western Caribbean cruises on Oasis class ships shared a common schedule, at least for formal days. Maybe after Harmony starts cruising off FL someone can report back the day for the second formal.

Thanks. Yep, before I posted, I saw both day 5 and 6 mentioned. If it's always on a sea day, then I will assume the second formal must be on day 5.

Does anyone know which day the second formal is held on Harmony cruising western Caribbean? We are booking a specialty dining venue and are trying to avoid a scheduling conflict.

Thanks for responding. We are fine with a group tour. What was the name of the company you contacted who told you that they only did groups?

Hi Missy

Can you tell me the name of the dune buggy company? We did a group buggy excursion a few years ago but booked it through a third party. I never took note of their name. Since we are going back to Cozumel, I was hoping to book directly with a dune buggy company.

Sorry I can't answer your question.

Is see that Wipeout Café found on Oasis and Allure was replaced by Mini Bites on Harmony. What's the difference between the two venues?

We enjoyed eating breakfast and pretzel dogs from Wipeout Café. Hope it's still available at Mini Bites.
