Guess we are sailing on the 1st attempt of this itinerary on July 20th... Love being the test mouse... Looking forward to some nice cheese... Interested to see how show schedule and MDR Menu rotation is handled... (we do have a three night dining package to plan)

Final Payment made... Time to sail... Irish Music Group will be on this sailing, not sure how venue availability will be affected... (I am not booked as part of this group)

Based upon a post above yours, I would guess that each ship will continue to hand them out as long as they have supply on hand... But obviously YMMV...

Was the music constant? Same Trio of musicians entire time or did they switch out? Just vocals or any instrumental numbers?

So my old Platinum and Emerald ones are now 'collectible'? Ebay here I come...

Another Mayan Ruin Option out of Progresso is Mayapan Ruins. We did a tour 5+ years ago that included a stop here and had a great time. Lots to see and you can climb to top of pyramid. (swimming in a cenote was second part of tour) I have been looking for another trip that stops at Progresso but haven't found one that fits work/life schedule. Did appear that it was 'book an excursion' port vs. walk around town...

Had a reservation for a Pearl Island Excursion in July but when I started reading reviews I decided to cancel. There are a lot of Youtube videos from right after COVID that seem positive but recent online written reviews are not so kind.... Disorganized, Overcrowded, Broken/Limited Equipment, Poor Food... Not sure I wanted to risk $400-500 on that possibility... Blue Lagoon is currently offline due to fatality so Bahamas 'active' excursions seem limited in offering from RCCL. Stay on ship?

We have stayed at Marriott Branded Hotels in Webster, TX at least 8 times. SpringHill Suites. Some further south in League City but Construction on 45/Access Roads might make accessibility challenging. There is also CostCo in Webster for Gas refill if needed...

Recently sailed on Voyager of the Seas. This was our 10th RCCL cruise across 4 different classes. I have observed that some classes have the 13th deck labelled as deck 13 and some skip to 14 after 12... I get the 'superstition' reason but wondering why the inconsistency? Ever been addressed?

Sailed on Voyager last week... 3 Person Party Booked in 3 Person Capacity Stateroom per Deck Plans... Cabin had two ceiling Pullman beds so it technically could have had 4 people? But yes, as a family of three we have also had problems with website in past finding room for 3. A lot of times it would say 'sold out' and our option would be a guarantee reservation...

The Sports Courts on Freedom, Voyager, and Radiance Class Ships have a pony wall and a netting around the court to keep stray balls from flying out. This setup however allows strong wind gusts to dominate the courts- particularly on Sea Days. The Oasis Class ships I've been on have Plexiglass walls in lieu of the netting to control the out of control balls. This greatly reduced wind gusts and allows the successful playing of small ball games like pickleball. Having attempted Pickleball on a Voyager Class, I can personally say it is next to impossible to play on board. The Ball is constantly blown away by strong wind gusts. Seeing how they are now charging $75+ for a 'class' on these ships, did they retrofit some windbreakers on these smaller ships recently to make this possible?

My only Oasis Class experience has been Allure and the Comedy Club is the room that evidently is Crown Lounge on all other Oasis Class ships. The nightclub Blaze was across the way with non-smoking casino next door to Comedy. Thanks for the input...

Looking at Deck Plans for a future sailing on Harmony of the Seas that we're booked on... Noticed the Comedy Club is now labeled as 'Crown Lounge'... I know the Jazz Clubs were converted to Non-Smoking Casinos last year but I do not remember any information on Comedy Clubs going away... Is this a real deal or just an anomaly for Harmony?

So Progreso Port cannot handle the larger vessels? We've stopped there with smaller RCCL vessels and enjoyed it... Agree that Galveston needs variety...

With these prices, now I want to see what Celebrity will be offering for Alaska 2025... We will have made Diamond by then...
