Yes was Norwegian previously. First Pearl then Jade. First cruise sold out in record time (I was on this one). Second year they did two and struggled to book both. Third is pretty well booked but took them all year to book it.
The 2020 cruise is Voyager themed and I am a huge Voyager fan and a huge Royal fan. Might be worth the YOLO move...

Just read that the next sailing for Star Trek the cruise will be on Explorer of the Seas in 2020.
Explorer was my first ship ever. I was on the first Star Trek cruise as well. Might have to check this one out as well.

I’m booked in J4-7652 Junior Suite on Grandeur. It’s a rear facing balcony. I found a YouTube video of the same cabin on Vision of the Seas. I assume since it’s the same class of ship that the room is likely very similiar?

The biggest issue I’ve ever had with UBER is when I am one of the first ones off the ship. The UBER’s that are all queued up sit and wait to activate themselves until surge pricing goes into effect so getting a ride can take a while. Once the closest ride they found for me was over 15 minutes away.

Book the thermal spa it is well worth it! Also, I know that the Schooner bar is the same on most ships, but it’s really something special on the Serenade.

I’m sure it’s no big deal - some people just don’t jive. Hopefully you find someone who fits you better and your previous TA does not take it personally.

I was one of the first off in August and had trouble getting an Uber. The drivers were all lined up waiting for surge pricing. The driver I got was someone 15+ minutes away.

I am traveling with my girlfriend on two cruises next year. I am getting the Deluxe Package is which means she is getting it too. I also want the one device Voom package. I assumed the Voom+Deluxe is the cheapest for me but it made me get that package for both of us which means I think we have Voom for TWO devices (overkill).
I’ve seen various promotions including (I think) buy one deluxe and get one half off.
Given that I want to end up with one device and two Deluxe, how should I handle and what type of promotion should I be on the lookout for?

Booked! Serenade October 21.

If you had the insurance would that get you anything back? I buy the insurance on most cruises but I am not 100% clear on exactly what it does for me.

I love this post!!! It affirms that I am not the only one who obsesses a bit in the days preceding setsail!
If you are like me the degree of obsession INCREASES with each cruise.

I had a terrible time getting in Uber on a cruise that ended in New Jersey. We were one of the first off the ship that morning. I went outside and ordered an Uber. It took a long time but it finally confirmed driver who is about 15 minutes away. The driver canceled within a minute or so. It found me another driver but he was over 25 minutes away.
The Uber driver that finally arrived told me that all of the drivers queue up outside of the pick up area and wait for Uber to go into surge pricing before they take rides.

Your spouse can have your status. They extend your diamond status to your spouse, but you need to contact them and request it.

Status match? Mind BLOWN!
I have a confession to make. I used the term “spouse” prematurely. Any chance they will status match for girlfriends? We share an address and have cruised together frequently. I’m not ready to give her a diamond but would be willing to give her diamond status.

If you are Diamond but your spouse is not, do they get any of the D privileges? For example the free drinks or access to the D lounge?

I assume you are bringing your Instamatic as well, right?

Hey there,
I now have power and internet (for the time being) so wanted to check in.
Be safe. Good luck.

After years of going it on my own and booking direct I started using MEI. They haven’t made any New reservations for me but I have transferred at least three cruises over to that were recently booked.
I guess it’s luck of the draw you get, but I’m having issues with the person I am dealing with. I don’t know if my expectations are out of whack but the responsiveness that I was hoping for is just not there.
Not sure how I will handle future bookings.
- Update: On further reflection it’s more a problem with ME letting go than it is a problem with the TA.

We will be on Adventure, so looks like the iMessage wifi trick won't work. We are going to try out the communication thing, but I'm still not clear if the price is per person or per stateroom and if we can purchase it ahead of time or if we have to wait until we are on the ship?
Thanks all!

The Royal IQ app, which is $7.95 per week for the entire stateroom.
So the app was 795 for the whole stateroom. If there were two people in the stateroom they could both use the app and text? Also it looks like you have to buy it on the ship and can’t purchase it ahead of time - how did that work?
We are planning on using it for very basic status updates with our kids.

Anyone know if any of my current perks (Diamond) will be offered on this cruise? Also will I still earn points for the nights I stay? I may be doing it solo but in a standard room so would be expecting to earn double points.
