We've requested a specific room in the notes section and that has worked. But...our most recent interaction with the website left us waiting several days with no response. We ended up calling and booking to make sure we got the room we wanted. We now call and don't waste our time with redeeming online.

Both times we were at Terminal 5 in April, there were no gates when leaving at the end of the cruise. Unlike Terminal 1 where you may have to scan your receipt on leaving before the gate will open.

Just got off Symphony with a 10, 13, and 15yr old. They all had a blast and had plenty to do The 15yr old was off in the teen club with many others the entire trip. We basically only saw him on port days The 13 yr old was in teen club or the pool and she spent probably 50% of her time with us the other half with ppl she met in the club My 10yr old was with us about 80-90% of the time. Mostly in pools, hot tubs, hanging out on the board walk etc. She went to adventure ocean several times and enjoyed it every time. My wife thought she wouldn't have fun in adventure ocean, but she really did. It made her feel independent being with other kids and away from Mom and dad Advice, get internet package to txt with your kids. Don't try to plan too much, just go with the flow, they will find what they like. Don't poop in the pools... Apparently it's a thing on Icon, let's not make it a thing on Utopia.

We were just there at the end of April. We did an excursion through the cruise line, but there were tours available upon leaving the ship if you want to be more casual. It was a pretty easy port to get around in and tourists are welcomed. Enjoy!

No idea about number of passengers but when I was checking out prices yesterday doesn’t look like there are a heck of a lot of rooms available!

Looking for information re excursions on Ponta Delgado, Azores. Should we take one of RC excursions & if so, which one or will there be will there be public or private transportation on the island available at the port.

When they instituted MAW on Harmony last month, the wife was onboard and helped the CD with his "auctioneer" skills. She had been looking for a while for a new MAW T-Shirt for a friend and was happy to finally be able to get one. We also contributed to the cause through the purchase of a Harmony OTS model signed by her original Captain who happen to be filling in as temporary that week. We have have friends who's family has directly benefited from MAW and it is one of our favorites.

So development. ..... The room my brother and mother were in, is apparently uninhabitable. So they were moved to a promenade interior on deck 8. So I am now in the catty corner bowels by myself . I got my first towel animal. I also got the consecutive cruisers letter. There will be a lunch. I am currently sitting in the WJ listening to a tiny human screaming, while my brother eats his pre dinner.

Knowing my luck, Wonder's ELF won't have it in 19 days.

They were very high quality photos... but don't show me the sandwich counter... show me the sandwich (or crepe or pita or mac)!

Anyone know yet if this is a full cruise? Officially on vacation we took tomorrow off. An hour drive Thursday and heading straight to use my drink package!

Oh, good; because these cupboards are bare of food pics for @OCSC Mike.

PDCC was a fun mess, the seagulls are back being trifling. Stealing tiny humans food and fighting. It's so entertaining. So since indy was also there I got us a table in the shade at chill grill. My brother and mother went to snack shack. She was supposed to bring me a shack chicken, minus mayo only, and mozzarella sticks. She comes back with just a plain piece of chicken.........no bun, lettuce, pickle.....etc. She order and said "plain just the chicken." My brother said she ordered so confidently, he didn't say anything. Thankfully the chill grill had all the accessories I needed. The worst part is she opened hers and said " I thought they came on a bun?" Then she just started eating the chicken. A bonus was the steak is back for ELF and PDCC when it comes to tacos. Funnel cake was good but the softserve was sour, like it had curdled. It was a good thing I only put a little on my funnel cake. We ate and walked the island for a little then got back on the ship. So far no casino shenanigans. However they tried me. If you want to use the D+ internet and prime discounts, you will need to buy it separately. I was using the discount for the whole thing and then getting the 2 days discounted. But they won't do that. Anyhow. I went to the Crown Lounge. My mother came up to the deck attached to it, it's no longer blocked off. Instead you just use your card to access the lounge. So my grandmother is the queen of fringe. She said she would fringe some leggings for my casino outfit. She is convinced they provide better comfort because the shingles make a breeze. So here's a picture of them and my Croc sandals.

I have an account over there and entered my data, but my prices haven't updated since the first week in April (and they've definitely changed a few times). Anyone having issues?

A friend of mine pointed them out to me a few days ago (she repriced 2 of hers). Definitely some more palatable Utopia prices out there for certain months compared to other sailings.

I feel seen.

YOU CAN'T FLUSH HOT DOGS!!?? (I kid...but it looks more like a hot dog than a feminine product)

And Ocean View is now sold out.

Good day… Hadn’t noticed it until today when doing some price match mock bookings, but the resident discounts are showing back up. Did a rematch on a non casino comp 3 night on Utopia and saved a bunch between the sale and the discounts…Has anyone else noticed these? J&S

The only time cruises get canceled if the home port itself is threatened.

I don't know why people do what they do......like flushing undies or feeding their dogs at the WJ. But the casino sucks. I talked to the host. They swapped out a lot of the progressive bonus games for just games with higher jackpots and the payouts are nonexistent. She said lots of frequent cruisers are complaining but since most cruises are filled with newbies, they didn't care or noticed. I was on here last year and earned my prime status for less than it's costing me to get my mother a cruise cert for 1200pts.

Do they not have the "don't flush your undies" sign over the toilet?! C'mon!!

Day 3 Bergen Morning started slow as we were planned to be docked only on 12:30 PM. Breakfast was at the WJ , mot too crowded so it was fine. We went to take a coffee in the CL, the new machine that replaced the broken one is not as good so we took a coffee from the Starbucks again. Once again we went to play some pool. Returning to the room we notice the water is not working , I called house keeping they told me it's all the back of the ship that dose not have water due to some emergency shutdown and it will take at least 3 hours to be fixed , not a good news for the morning. Good that the room is not the only place with a bathroom on the ship. Of course after 15 minutes the water returns, that time I was happy with the false information. We started our way near the shore and strated to see amazing view from the balcony. The weather today was perfect around 70 f without any clouds. This is a rare weather for this time of the year , but I will not complain. Once the gangway was opened we started our way into the city. We had tickets to the funicular which takes you up to the hill to a stunning 360 view of the city and the ports. It took us around 20 minutes to reach the station. The line was very long but once I checked I saw there are actually two lines , one for people with tickets which was much shorter and one for buying tickets. We stand on the right line when people started to ask us about the second line . Apparently, many people with tickets were standing in the wrong line without checking... Maybe people thought "hey , it's a longer line it must be for something better". The train takes about 5 minutes , indid amazing view And here she is We went to walk around , meet some locals You can do some short trips around the mountains but we decided to go down and tour the city. Bergen is a lovely city , at that time of a year they had tulips everywhere. For lunch we went to the fish market, we shared a salmon sandwich which I thought was amazing (although not cheap) . Anyone see something strange in the menue ? We continue to walk around the city until we decided to go back to the ship. Arriving to the ship we went to have some drinks in the sun . After that we decided to try and go up on the north star. As we thought , many people reserved it but only few arrived so there was no issues to join and go up. Dinner today was at the main dining room, it was Italian night so we both took the lasagna which, as always was very good. Today show was the gift, after reading all the reviews about it we skipped it , thanks . The Casino was again packed and all the few machines I like thete were taken , so I saved some money. Tomorrow early port day.

Same happens in the Anthem , there are very few machines that everyone likes and people are waiting in lines for them ... Not sure how they don't see it as I read so many complains about the Anthem Casino. Anyway, better luck.

Day 3: Roatan, Honduras I got up early this morning (MON, 5/13) so I could explore the ship more thoroughly and take pics without crowds. I started in the forward part of the ship on Deck 15 and worked my way down… inside areas for now! Here comes the first picture dump! Just another shot of the awesome destination elevators… Lobby outside of the AquaDome and entrance. You can see the AquaTheater directly ahead… A couple of shots of the Royal Bling Store just to the right side as you enter… A quick shot of the AquaTheater on my way to the AquaDome Market (on the right after the Royal Bling Store)… Entering the AquaDome Market… Menus from all of the stations… Exited the market from the door I entered and continued counter-clockwise toward the Rye & Bean Bar and the Overlook which is just in front of the AquaTheater… Exited the Overlook and now walking past Hooked… I left the AquaDome area and moved on… An exterior shot of Coastal Kitchen… Some shots of Vitality Spa and Cafe.. Another sculpture… Empire Supper Club… The Crown Lounge… a no-go this cruise! Royal Theater and tonight’s show… A bunch of shots of the Music… Phoenix is on this sailing… I’ll be back later… we have to start getting ready for Chef’s Table!
