I agree with @smokeybandit. Stay at a hotel near the airport and take a Lyft to the port in the morning.

They can, yes.

Looking into the issues with mobile on the boards

Uber has a Car Seat option in some cities (New York is one), but it's pretty limited. If they did have it, it would appear as an option from the various Uber ride types available. Not sure how old your kid is, but this car seat was something we used for our kids: https://amzn.to/3HxNQJR (Affiliate link)

Are you looking to make an individual restaurant reservation? Or buy a dining package and make dining reservations?

I have Cricket (subsidiary of AT&T) and it works quite well with Voom. The AT&T store guys wouldn't know anything about the on ship experience, right @mpoole3

I don't recall seeing that, but you can always refer to a past Cruise Compass to see if there's anything mentioned: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compass

Sabrina has been let out? I do not like carpet baggers rolling into Suite 17! On the plus side, I do appreciate @Lovetocruise2002 is now significantly closer to the Windjammer

I think you might be underestimating the redundant safety measures of Crown's Edge and the company's general risk assessment. Nothing is perfect, so I'm not debating that there's a chance, but I think accidental deaths resulting from dumb decisions as opposed to a regulated harness system are not anywhere the same.

That's correct. A new cast replaces them. In the months leading up to a contract ending, there's already a new cast training in Miami. Then in the last week or two the new cast joins the ship to observe, and then they hand it off.

It kind of depends on the cabana host. Some hosts will just attribute whatever drinks consumed to whoever had a drink package and look the other way who actually drank them. Others may just simply divide it all equally. I have yet to see a consistent approach (unless no one has a drink package, then they'll ask who to charge drinks to).

I suspect shoreside refers to the casino host that works at headquarters.

There isn't a general answer. Every new ship is different because of various factors (supply chain, acts of God, etc). It's impossible to provide any kind of guarantee or prediction this far in advance.

It would be primarily a repeat in terms of dining menus and entertainment.

That's consistent with that Royal has hinted at: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2024/01/05/royal-caribbean-ceo-new-smaller-cruise-ship-could-be-announced-2024

Harmony from Galveston is a good value, but yes, it's an hour drive from Houston to Galveston. It used to be a bigger problem, but with Lyft/Uber it's far easier now.

A live blog with @Lovetocruise2002 started more than 3 weeks before the cruise? Sounds about right

I will be surprised if they have them, but not sure yet.

As usual, @SpeedNoodles is correct. There are definitely safes in the Icon cabins. I saw one with my own eyes, but it's definitely in a different location.
