How Much Independence is Too Much? (with a Radiance prelude)
OCSC Mike replied to AshleyDillo's topic in Live Blogs
One of my favs! I love that the bar attached to ELF on Wonder has the same marg; they just don't call it a Goalpost and it comes in the pool-friendly plastic hurricane cup. It's so much more convenient for me than going all the way down to Playmakers since I'm at ELF everyday and we at least spend a little time on the pool deck/solarium most days. EDIT: And it's never too spicy, lol. Sabor has/had a spicier one. -
Nah, I don't usually bother unless I actually want/need it for something ASAP. It usually works itself out after a little while. I'll just try later. Hope the reinstall works for ya.

My turn to have issues. App kicked me out and I get the "we hit a snag, try later" message when I try to login. Website still working fine.

Fair point... nothing additional to the additional then. Mason Jar costs additional on top of the additional. You know I saw it, I had an interior on hold for myself and a highly desirable GS on hold in the hopes of freeloading... now someone else has that GS. -
Everything's a trade-off.

Disagree b/c some people will get off in Nassau and leave the ship a bit emptier when you stay on.

So jealous of that inaugural WJ spread. Hope you all enjoy! You know I love the Mason Jar brunch but not as much as steak and lobster and everything else at no additional cost. -
MARGARITAVILLE or BAHA MAR…Which one to choose!
OCSC Mike replied to PPPJJ-GCVAB's topic in Shore Excursions
Between the larger group and kids and itinerary, totally makes sense. I really am looking forward to your review but my post was mostly for humor's sake. My CocoCay/Nassau cruises are 3/4 B2B's on Utopia and we're totally fine going to CocoCay twice and not getting off in Nassau. I had a similar scenario to yours last October. We had a 5N CocoCay/Labadee itinerary but Labadee was changed to Cozumel due to weather so we wound up going to Nachi Cocom instead of spending nothing at Labadee. To make matters worse, we didn't love Nachi, but that's OK. It gave me an excuse to try Paradise Beach in Cozumel this summer. -
Same deal here. Although we earned most of our points after marriage, she sailed with her parents several times as a kid while our honeymoon was my first cruise.

OCSC Mike replied to PPPJJ-GCVAB's topic in Shore Excursions
Great, something else to potentially tempt me away from just staying on the ship and using my vouchers and eating the already included food (especially when I justified my CocoCay/Nassau cruises with the logic that we would be spending zero on excursions). Looking forward to the review. -
No issues logging into the website here and the app hasn't kicked me out.

Some have suggested the logic is to sell 10 at $3000 rather than 20 at $1500. FWIW (not a ton, lol) they do include unlimited bottled water. There’s a large container of ice with a bunch of bottles waiting for you and your server will refill it upon request. -

Spending extra time on the ship during an inaugural isn't the worst thing in the world. We left CocoCay earlier than usual last month (lack of sleep and heat are a bad combo) but it didn't ruin our cruise of course. I won't let it happen again though, lol. Back to taking dips in the pool and sitting on the underwater bench under the palm trees where the big iguana lives for me! -
Should I expect more from Royal Caribbean?
OCSC Mike replied to mAdCapper's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Well when you have enough luggage for three people... . I kid, I kid. -
Can I book 3 guest in a 4 guest room?
OCSC Mike replied to KevinK's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Maybe he went back and just selected 4 passengers to check. -

Some of us were eagerly awaiting pics of "unique Mexican goodies" but don't let that sway you. -
A better bar than the Beach Club at Coco Cay?
OCSC Mike replied to Baked Alaska's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Yep, same here. I don't have a super strong reason why when I'm indoors but I still get my own drinks. I think the only time I really order from a server is if we're in the MDR and I didn't grab a drink to bring in (although the assistant waiter isn't really the same thing as a pool deck server) or if we're seated early for a show. Oh, and I order from our server at specialty dining but that's back to the MDR thing. -

Don't try the inaugural, you can see that from your actual booking. Here's August 2nd's 3N cruise for example, and brunch is there... https://www.royalcaribbean.com/account/cruise-planner/category/dining?bookingId=000000&shipCode=UT&sailDate=20240802 This doesn't mean it will be available for the inaugural, of course, I was just saying that it does appear to be available on other 3N sailings so there's a chance it will be. -
Funny you say that. I remember liking Effectors (not loving it) the first time we saw it. Like you, I reserved it for our 2nd Wonder cruise just for the heck of it and we wound up going... and for some reason we didn't like it that time except for the ending. Maybe b/c we had already seen it. Who knows? Going forward, we'll only see Adult Comedy, the headliner depending on who it is, and possibly the ice show which we love but I'm not sure how many times I'll want to see it even though we loved it.

Perhaps it isn't available yet or it's because it's the inaugural? I'd keep checking. My wife and I were discussing this over the weekend since we have a few Utopia B2B's booked in the future. There's a tool someone from that other forum created that lets you see cruise planners for future cruises even if you're not booked and I saw brunch offered for whatever random 3N dates in August I chose. You can't see what days it's available but I'm assuming embarkation day since there are no sea days. Here's the link if anyone is interested... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ukT6gOPcu7coL92LuDcyDaWXQfO88u5kN9FEdHRj5bM/edit#gid=0 You just have to enter the ship and date then use the links to look at whatever you want. Oh yeah, and YOU MUST BE LOGGED OUT OF THE RC WEBSITE to use it. -
