Which ships? Not all ships have the Thermal Suite.

Website glitch where the options don't really match the offering. I always pick the first available time as the selection does not really change anything.

We bounce back and forth between all cabin types but the one we were looking forward to the most was our Central Park Balcony. However, it fell flat. We did NOT enjoy CPB because of the noise. There was always noise from CP or from the top deck. We agreed that we'd prefer an ocean-facing balcony or an interior much better.

My only Jewel complaint is that they replaced the Thermal Suite with staterooms. Such a bummer especially now that she's going to do the colder Canada cruises from Boston next year.

I'm just going to say I am the biggest fan of the MDR experience. I love it soup to nuts! I organized a group of 18 with mostly adults but a 4 or so under 16. They put us all together at a very long table off to the side. They even had the table marked with a big reserved sign on it with my name which was a nice touch. However it wasn't as great as it could have been, but it was all our fault. Sometimes we were not all there right on time, people would move around based on whatever conversation was going on - it was a tiny bit chaotic. Taking the order of 18 people took quite a long time and inevitably someone would want to change their order by the end of the process. Dinner was slow and clunky - again all our fault. We did it again the following year and did multiple tables of either 6 or 8 and had a much better experience. So my two cents is get a couple of tables instead of trying to act as one big party.

Yeah, both in my party went GTY and got deck 3. It's not a location I would have chosen but happy to be on a ship. Either way, I am certain I can make it to Schooner in under 90 seconds so that's good enough for me. I do have one question. One in our party just got their room assignment last week. Their luggage tags have not been updated yet - do you know how long that usually takes?

Ouch. I got my room assignment. While it isn't quite the LAST room I would have picked it's right up there. Location is not great for me compared to where I spend most of my time, but it means I'll have an opportunity to go up/down a lot of stairs. #nostairchallenge

All of these workarounds sound fine but are magnets for hassles that may pop up during the cruise. This scenario complicates boarding, the job of your stateroom person and heaven forbid mustering if there is an emergency. If I'm paying thousands of dollars for a vacation, my policy is that I will not entertain any workarounds that could complicate anything.

I've done this one a few times - including the first one which was on Norwegian. It's a TRULY UNIQUE experience from the perspective of a Loyal to Royal person. The usual Royal Cruise Director staff are non-existent and replaced by ECP (Entertainment Cruise Production) staff. Don't expect any of your Royal Perks - as they don't work. No early boarding, no Diamond Lounge or Diamond Drinks etc. However, on the last few cruises, they did open the buffet for a 4th meal at midnight which was really cool. LiveLongAndProsper

To anyone but the OP: Hypothetically speaking, what kind of medical condition would prevent me from drinking cold water?

I don't know if the other responses have considered the nuances of your request. I believe you'll need to make a phone call to take advantage of any price drop, considering the unique situation you're in. I find myself in a similar situation, where my partner has the Refreshment package, and I have the Deluxe package. If the price of your Deluxe package drops, you should be able to cancel it without any issues. However, when you try to re-add it, the system will likely block the transaction, and you'll need to call and request an exception again.

Awwww heck. I'm in. Price is right - it's one of my favorite ships. See you all on board.

We actually did it on oasis. Just looking at your puzzle pieces. It looks like the oasis escape room was much higher quality. It was a totally immersive experience with equipment that we had to manipulate and different stations around the room.

Anyone know how often they change up the escape room? If we did it last year are the odds good that it’s exactly the same?
