I have two issues with the casitas. 1. It's on the upper pool deck, so if you're going to the pool and going to going in and out, it's not that convenient. 2. The lack of walls means there could be no shade, depending on where the sun is.

The Classic Package was treated like the Premium package on CocoCay is a huge win. I doubt it lasts, but good for those early birds!

No, that's the original one. Facebook mysteriously re-instated it today -

Anthem of the Seas review- April 14, 2024
Matt replied to wolfies's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Great report, thank you for sharing! Unfortunately this is luck of the draw. As a dad of girls, I've often thought I was glad to have girls since they all seemed to be more interested in less rambunctious activities. My oldest daughter is starting teens club stuff, and she agrees the ice breaker stuff is lame. But if they don't offer it, it becomes a stereotypical middle school dance with boys on one side and girls on another. When my daughter knows someone else on the ship that is going to teen club, that has helped immensely. Like your son, she's not an extrovert that can jump in and make a ton of friends. -
Welcome to the message boards! I'd recommend two connecting cabins instead of one room. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/02/15/mailbag-whats-the-best-cruise-ship-cabin-my-family

I love Brightline, but it wouldnt be practical for Everglades to PortMiami because you'd need to pay for a taxi/lyft from port to train station, and then train station to the port. Just easier to take a lyft the entire way.

Purple Set Sail Pass (Does not say Express Check In)
Matt replied to Rocketman's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Welcome to the message boards. You are correct, there's no more Diamond Plus line. For Express Check In, you need to have the setsail pass say it (regardless of C&A status). In order to get it, you need to do the check-in on the Royal Caribbean app (not website), scan your passport in the app (not enter it manually), enter all contact info, add credit card, upload check in photo, and then do health questionnaire. -
I believe @CHart got a similar message for a suggestion he made for the app

Yes, if you hustle off the ship (meaning you dont take your time and roll off the ship at 9am).

Welcome Annie! As others mentioned, Chops isn't open as a specialty restaurant for breakfast. Your UDP would work for Chops for lunch or dinner.

Couple of questions (lobster, seapass credit card)
Matt replied to DZ_Da_Dude's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Almost certainly somewhere in Cozumel. Costa Maya is a small village in reality. The Lobster Shack in Cozumel Downtown is a good choice. -
I would say there's a 0.1% chance, but there is indeed a chance in the academic sense of the word.
-
Yes, that's a very important consideration to note. There's no way to know if it will be offered at all on any sailing. They were practically extinct between 2021-2023.

Didn't Love Nachi Cocom... May Try Paradise Beach Next
Matt replied to OCSC Mike's topic in Shore Excursions
I'm so late on responding to this, but I'd expect well liquor if you don't go for the upgrade options. I apologize I don't have specifics, but if you want more than beer, I'd go for the top shelf option. -
I believe DJ MP3 is at Oasis Lagoon. There's still music there.
-
Chill Island has no music. They purposefully dont play music there to adhere to the name. Doesn't mean it's a library, just that the line doesn't try to convey the party vibe there.

More Out of Control CocoCay Pricing
Matt replied to PhantomWolf's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
The pricing is not all crazy high. My May 20 sailing of Freedom of the Seas has the lowest price I've ever seen for an OTW cabana -

Crack Down on Chair Hogs on Odyssey
Matt replied to Psycho and Barb's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I don't think the scenario @loki007 describes of going to get lunch is the problem. It's the people that get up at 6-7am and reserve chairs without being there for a while to actually use them. It breeds others to grab chairs so they have one, and it's the primary reason why you can't get a chair when you get up to the pool deck around 10 or later. Once you get to the lunch hours, all bets are off if you ask me. -
CocoCay Chill Island daybeds choice
Matt replied to warrenz1963's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
You could go to the Shore Excursion desk and request one, but otherwise, they assign you one when you arrive. -
Your C&A status on your luggage tags are meaningless, so don't worry about it.
