If I'm remembering right, on the Freedom class ships those interior promenade windows are bay-style, and do have a small seat-level space in the curve that you could sit on for a bit if you wanted to. Not a balcony by any stretch, but at least a chance to sit and enjoy the view instead of having to stand there the whole time.

Do make sure to close the curtain to that window when you are in a potentially... er... showy kind of state. Easy to see in from both the promenade floor and the rooms across from yours.

Thank you!!

On the Independence of the Sea, do any of the inside rooms with promenade view have a balcony overlooking the promenade or just a window?

Thanks,  Gwen

@Gwen, I was recently offered a Royal Up opportunity. I researched the cabins and bid on one that I would have desired in the beginning if not out of my reach. I was offered four and bid on one. Three of the bid opportunities expired and the one I bid on was pending, for days I watched.....only to be advised less then 12 hours before embarkation that my bid was not accepted. I like to book a cabin I would be incredibly happy in at the onset, and then I bid ONLY if I could see myself being happy spending the extra money upon "winning" I did like the Royal Up participation though, it did add extra excitement, albeit I did not "win" It was super fun, but do your homework, you do not want to "win" something you might not be happy in. So much better then standing in line at the DCL supervisors desk begging for even eye contact, have fun and enjoy your sailing.!

Thank you, I'm going to do some reading up on it.  I'm so excited about getting some sunshine I ready don't care where my room is right now!!!haha!!

Hey Gwen!  There have been numerous threads on the Royal Up program, all of which loaded with answers from cruisers both more experienced and eloquent than myself.  One of the largest and most diverse threads can be found here:

 

Thank you so much, I'll check it out!!

I just received an email saying I can bid on a room upgrade on our 3/7 trip on IOS.  I've never bid on anything so not sure how this works.  Did anyone else got an e-mail for a upgrade offer

Thanks!!

I have sailed on both Princess and RC.  If you love Princess you will love RC.  There is a big screen at poolside on every ship I have been on.  Food is great on both cruise lines and plenty to do on sea days.  You will enjoy your vacation on RC!!!  Have fun!!  I have a trip planned next month on RC's  Independent of the Seas and can't wait!!!

Quantum, Anthem, Ovation, Spectrum.

Oasis, Allure, Harmony and Symphony.  (Allure is presumed to be supported after her March amplification this year)

OK, thank you!!!

Are the RFID bands available on the IOS?

I'll add - on my last 5 night sailing the MDR did run a special on the surf and turf (Lobster tail and steak) one night. It was like 30% off.  I went ahead and got it because was also craving the lobster and was so disappointed there wasn't a "lobster night" on my cruise.  

Hopefully we will get that offer!!

On our last 5 night Grandeur cruise they had both lobster and lamb shank.  That’s almost unheard of on 5 night cruises anymore.

I think our lobster was on our last LOS 5 night cruise.  It was so good, was looking forward to it again

OK, thanks a bunch!

Is there still lobster night on 5 night cruises?  I'm on IOS 3/7/20 and don't see it on the menu.  I've been on 5 night cruises before and had lobster on the last night of the cruise.  Thanks!!

Thank you!!!  Can't wait to start my cruise!!!

My husband, son, daughter-in-law and I will be cruising Oct 27-Nov 1 on Oasis of the Seas. Can't wait!!!

I will be on the Oct 27- Nov 1 cruise on Oasis of the Seas. I was wondering if there is anything special planned for Halloween? Will there be a costume party?
