Looking at it quickly 7200 would be a nice cabin since it is on the hump of the ship. Gives you a better view when looking over the side.  That would be a you best bet in my opinion.

I'd agree (also after a very brief look). I know you may want higher but I'd take the hump balcony and avoid the connecting cabins.

for tomorrow’s EX

23N B3B? Have a great time! Now THAT would definitely require use of the free laundry.

Hopefully you'll share some stuff. I think we're down to @AshleyDillo's blog and she keeps getting caught up in casino and tablemate shenanigans in between tagging me for food and drink porn.

Looks like things are back to normal

Yep, all good now... until the next glitch.

App is working for me, but the website not so much.

Opposite for me, lol.

What I've been doing for the last few cruises we've taken is to download the Set Sail pass to my Apple Wallet and instead of printing the full Guest Ticket Booklet, I'll just print the first few pages indicating the cruise guests and sailing date. No need for all the rules and regulations.

You can cut and paste just the set sail pass from the website (and I'm sure there are lots of ways). It's where the luggage tags are.  I don't even open that super long guest booklet file.

Just now, Mturk said:

Same for me but the website isn't working for me either. I get the "It's not you. It's us" message on the website and "Sorry, we hit a snag" on the app.

Yeah, both down now.

I printed mine

I still do too.

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.

Yup, got the "we have your info but unable to log you in" or something like that. Did you try a uninstall reinstall as I am about to do?

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.

Oh, there's additional cost, you saw the inaugural pricing right? We just pre paid for the spread & experience!

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.

But then there isn't the motion of the ship and the vast expanse of nothingness (our favorite view on board).

Everything's a trade-off.

I disagree. Another sea day>>>Nassau.

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

Mason Jar brunch is only on Day 1. I am going to the Windjammer for that awesome seafood brunch.

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.

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.

We're a perfect example - I enjoy D+ benefits rather than my "mere" Diamond because I'm tied to my wife's history.

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.

I’ll be there May 21st…stay tuned!  

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.

Is it just me, or is the RC login having issues? I have tried to log into the app (it kicked me out) and it stays in the logo spinning. The site does the same thing before giving an error message.

No issues logging into the website here and the app hasn't kicked me out.

Just price so they sell out every sailing some profit is better than none.

Some have suggested the logic is to sell 10 at $3000 rather than 20 at $1500.

46 minutes ago, Neesa said:

I can't fathom the fact that the price doesn't include beverages, at least waters and soda as well. 

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.

May take a page from @OCSC Mike Oasis Pool, lunch and back on the ship for Coco Cay visit.

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!

the things she brings

Well when you have enough luggage for three people... . I kid, I kid.

How can you see the room capacity? I've always thought that the system only shows the rooms available based on the number of passengers that you selected previously 

Maybe he went back and just selected 4 passengers to check.

I still haven't decided if I'm going to bother to get off the ship

Some of us were eagerly awaiting pics of "unique Mexican goodies" but don't let that sway you.

I thought I was the only one... not just on PDCC

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.
