We love both classes, and would sail either ship. I do love an extra night though, and would personally choose Odyssey for that and the southern Caribbean route.

We have used a pill organizer for meds and supplements. Have photos of the capsule or pill in front of a labeled bottle saved on phone for verification in case we travel internationally and are asked….and have never been asked.

Great publicity gimmick! I agree.

If the number of cabins currently designated to sell are sold out, the sailing is no longer listed. Happens all the time.

Most of the reps that answer the phone are using the internet for their calls. Many connections are lousy, imo. I suggest trying again. Also tell them if the connection is bad. Sometimes they can improve the connection.

The garden martini is worth the visit. I had two. And had to twist my own arm NOT to get a second order of bread.

We currently use the Allianz annual policy, after lots of research. They have a nice variety of choices.

The only expensive jewelry I wear is my wedding band and engagement ring. Those are always on except when asleep. I wear mostly costume jewelry, and an Apple Watch. That's about it. I don't buy really expensive clothing or expensive purses. I don't buy cheap clothing/purses, but nothing to steal here except my wedding set. I've never worried about theft on the cruise, just take the precautions I normally do. The safe holds our passports, our cash for tips, and our electronic devices. We keep it simple.

Or what it was suspected to be.

We are sailing AK this year, and now am glad I didn't book a NE cruise for later in the fall. The testing requirement continues to be over the top, but then Canada has been over the top for some time now, regarding Covid.

Have you checked your online account at RCI? I suggest logging in there and checking your cabin number, also check the app. And it wouldn’t hurt to check your junk email folder too.

That’s a bummer, especially since the markup on those bottles is so huge. Maybe a supply chain issue? And the profit on a glass is greater than the profit on a bottle.

I believe the answer is that would be available only in a Star Suite. As twangster mentioned, room service only includes regular coffee.

We receive our emails typically 7-10 days out from the sailing. If you are sailing next Sunday, you could receive the email today. Don’t know what the email is, but it is probably a variation of the one we received from Oasis: [email protected] and [email protected] Just replace the Harmony acronym with the OA.

Apparently you joined only to complain and haven’t read some other threads here. People do share here. I suggest you look around. That said, many of us have had issues with the accounting end of things. And not just with RCI. I get that you are frustrated, as I have been at times, but I wouldn’t toss away good money out of frustration. I hope you get it worked out without sacrificing that much money.

We enjoy Jamie’s Italian and Chops. We usually dine at Jamie’s twice when we have 3 night dining on Quantum class. If you haven’t done Wonderland, I suggest doing the experience, though, since you are leaning that way. It was a one and done for us, but we enjoyed it.

We only requested wine at CK lunch a few times, and there was no charge for it. And yes, it’s many types of drinks at happy hour. There were a couple specialty drinks they couldn’t make for me, but the choices of liquor are pretty extensive (on Oasis class).

We just booked our first Celebrity cruise last night. Beyond in Sky Suite, 9 night Southern Caribbean over Thanksgiving 2023. We have several RCI cruises before then, but have kept an eye out for a great bargain on Celebrity. Excited to sail Celebrity!

We are loyal to a brand, because of the benefits. We will be D+ this year, and will also now consider Celebrity. We sailed Carnival years ago and it just wasn't our cup of tea. Everyone has different preferences.

Yeppers. Or at the very least, the first part of the season (when we are trying for a third time to take my oldest sister and aunt to AK) will be a washout. I would rather see this bill pass, just in case.

I do too. But it IS the only port we haven’t booked excursions for right now. Waiting a bit longer first, to see how things shake out in Canada.

https://www.alaskapublic.org/2022/02/18/bill-from-alaskas-congressional-delegation-would-allow-cruises-to-bypass-canada-ports-again/ “Alaskans cannot gamble again on the goodwill and commonsense of our Canadian neighbors, who failed us last year,” Sullivan said in a statement announcing the bill.

Was thinking about this again, since it's so "cartoonish". Do you think this is a nod to the broad enjoyment of graphic 'novels' in Asia? Since Wonder was designed for Asia? That's what this reminds me of, a graphic comic. If so, maybe this is proof that they will send her to Asia as soon as it is feasible to do so. Just a thought.

I guess if you are a five year old, you will be amazed. I prefer a bit more of a refined look if I’m spending a fortune.

CLS went up by $2200 on our Allure sailing in September. RCI must be feeling optimistic.
