I have not seen any evidence that, once the 125% FCC is chosen, you can change your mind and get a refund instead.   Requirements are changing rapidly.  Perhaps you can book something for closer to the FCC expiration date and hope things change in your favor.

Did a 4 day on Mariner last February in a deluxe balcony room, me hubby & 10 year old grandson.  IMHO way too small for comfort even for a short cruise.  We didn’t even let them pull out the sofa bed because there was already no room.  Nothing below JS for us anymore.

@PoochWhats app is an app that uses wifi/internet/data to text one another as opposed to cell service. If you have iphones, imessage does that naturally. Android phones, I believe, use cell service for texting so an app that uses wifi/data allows one to text others with a Voom package and prevents cell charges by your carrier..

Ok yes I am officially a Suite Snob.  I blame my husband and several bad influence posters here!!

For us the choice of JS is for the bathroom, well worth the money

I think that’s their ultimate goal ….. to make unvaccinated people 12 and over not go on their cruises ….. at least for the time being 
 

Oh no I absolutely agree with that.  I usually ask for a small side dish of the “food experiment”.  This cruise I don’t have to worry.  I’m bringing 2 human garbage pails in the persons of my brother and nephew.  Swear to God they will eat ANYTHING!!!

Oh boy do I feel this one.  The Clean Plate Club guilt is real.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you try and just don't care for the escargot, don't eat them. Just pick them out of the copious remaining garlic butter and take advantage of sopping up with bread or pouring over your potatoes or vegetables when the main course arrives. Whatever you do - DON'T let them clear that plate until every drop of butter is consumed!

Thanks Ashley, we switched from Western to Eastern when we did the lift & shift and I’m beginning to regret it.  But we will be on Harmony so it’s all good.

WAAAYTOO will probably weigh in on this, apparently a favorite of Dan’s.  Ok the fact that I know that means I spend waaaytoo much time on these boards!!!

Ok so shopping is out.  Original cruise had Key West and Costa Maya for shopping/sightseeing & Cozumel & Grand Cayman for beach.  Now it’s Coco Csy (beach) Antigua (beach) St Thomas (beach) ☹️☹️ 

Sorry CC, but, they aren't snails. They are escargot which is a French delicacy and especially prepared on RC ships. If you like a buttery sauce with over tones of garlic, these will rock your boat (sorry for the pun). The escargot have a very mild-almost not there flavor and the tenderness of sautéed scallop. The combination of the sauce, or what's left of it after the escargot have been consumed, a nice white white (I prefer a Pint Grigio) and that bread soaking (sopping) up the sauce is a taste bonanza that will not soon be forgotten. If you think you will still be afraid to try them, I recommend copius amounts of dry martinis before you enter the dining room. ?

What’s to be afraid of?  It’s a cruise, if you don’t like them, move them to the side and get something else.  I always try new things on a cruise cuz you aren’t stuck with a dish you don’t like.

Heck I just want to get on the ship.  Can aways warm the roll under your arm. ?

Who needs a pat of butter, aren’t the rolls for sopping up the butter on the escargot???
