Okay. My solution for avoiding a royal caribbean corkage fee.

Then I may bring my well sealed tumbler, and sip it from that - If i don't finish it, it goes back in the fridge

We are Diamond & rarely used all our vouchers especially as our 10 day cruise was port intensive.  I typically drink 2 glasses of wine at dinner.  Brought 2 bottles on with me and a wine tumbler my daughter bought me which holds about 2 glasses & does a great job of keeping wine cold.  With our leftover vouchers, I would get 2 glasses of wine, transfer them to the wine tumbler & put them in the fridge.  The rest got me several shots of Baileys to use in my coffee at breakfast!

Yeah I’m glad I pulled the trigger on some things yesterday. For a sailing next March over spring break they had OTW cabanas for about $1400. I have some extended family going on that trip with me so I booked 2 of them. I figured I could cancel if decided we don’t want to do it, but know I most likely won’t see that price again anytime soon. 

In order
Song of America (37 years ago!), Explorer, Adventure, Anthem X 2, Oasis (B2B), Vision, Odyssey.
Have a B2B on Liberty this summer, then a B2B on Oasis next summer

doesn't the cabana issue wristbands for the 8 people? Might be able to get away without banding the kids, as long as they are with an allowed adult

no - you would be reimbursed whatever you paid, but you can't switch them to another person - they are tied to your name and your account

I've done the taste of the caribbean, and enjoyed it. Also did the sip/tour/brunch several years ago (it may have been called something else). DH has done the whiskey tasting. The champagne tasting isn't for me - I like champagne, but not enough to pay for several different tastings, and i have a very unsophisticated wine palate, so the other wouldn't be worth it to me. And, as a diabetic - no way am i doing the cupcake decorating (not new, been around for a while) or the candy sushi. 

Overpriced for what's primarily rice crispy treats, fruit roll-ups, and a few Starburst candies.
Here's a video showing you how to do this at home. https://youtu.be/OHwZcdVRC9o

ours was Song of America - 1988 - honeymoon. By the time we sailed again on Royal, it was 2013, and afterwards, DH contacted C&A and asked if that 1988 one would count towards our status. They said yes, as long as we could prove it. As it happens, I had saved the tickets, etc in my honeymoon picture album. He scanned, sent, & we had 7 more points in our status

I won't post my DH's pic without permission, but this was him last year on St. Patty's Day, getting ready for the pub crawl he was going on...

I get it - that's why we cruise out of Bayonne - close to home. Did one sailing out of Baltimore last year, and while we enjoyed ourself on Vision, I think I like a little bigger ship. Have done Oasis Class, Voyager Class, Vision class, and Quantum Class - doing Freedom Class this summer (Liberty). so will see what I feel about that.  I am NOT interested in Icon class - not unless they can sail out of Bayonne (don't want to fly) AND are at least 7 days - that's my minimum, and I really prefer longer than that

Belt and suspenders - that's me too!!! Copies of everything in a folder, screen shots of the set sail passes, just in case! I don't unplug - DH does, he uses an old phone so he can access email & FB if he wants, and the RC App - but no one can call him - but since I have a daughter & 92 yo mother, I want to be accessible, just in case

If I unplug the phone and remove it from the wall it will not work.
 

I am pleased some folks have perfect results reproducing their setsail pass on their cell phone.  On our most recent cruise aboard Navigator, the app was not at all cooperative.  Our printed setsail passes were in my pocket and quicker than we could fiddle with our phone, or the agent tell us where else to try, I handed the printed copies to the agent and we were whisked aboard. 
Printed documents... I never leave home without them!😁
