It sounds like a way to boost bookings for cruises that don't otherwise sell well

Yes

Just embarkation day. They'll confiscate it on other days and give it to you to bring home on the last day

I get one hour of internet access every day in exchange for my soul

It's a real escape room. Our team tried it and we'll have a review out soon

Just so you know, the reason there's no Vitality spa is the space needed for it was taken up by LNG tanks. It wasn't that Royal didn't want to offer it.

Sorry for the delay in responding. We did a site software upgrade and it inadvertently removed the article comments. I'll need to work on restoring it. So the good news is, it's not just you that isn't seeing it!

It's free. Here's how to get it: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2024/05/20/royal-caribbean-express-boarding-review

Our social media manager, Angie, who's on Utopia right now, got Express Boarding too. So I guess they rolled it out to PC too. I'm boarding Utopia tomorrow, so I can look for it.

Lyft is what I'd take

That was my take as well

The idea is to have snacks that are convenient to the pool. It's not meant to be a meal, but rather a quick "grab and go" bite to eat while you're enjoying time at the pool.

You can brag to @Lovetocruise2002 and make her jealous?

I don't want to be debby downer, but it might not be a thing. My Setsail pass had Express Boarding on Liberty from Cape Liberty back in May. Definitely no Express Boarding

Link?

I can confirm UFS has access to Thrill Waterpark. Only Star Class cabin that does. I'm amused by this, only because the Genies always seem to have an "invisible fence" that they can never pass beyond where the trams pick up on the pier.

Your definition of "hell" and mine seem to be quite different. I completely disagree about the Windjammer, Pools, and even Sorrentos. FWIW, I found the pools quite empty until about lunch time on sea days. The Promenade is busy, yes, but that's by design. They put all sorts of dance parties there because they want a crowd.
