I was not aware that the dining package (UDP)covered OJ and bottled water - I thought that was just the drink packages (refreshment packages and the deluxe drink package). Better check on that.

also - since we have the 4 diamond voucher - we get the refreshment package (drink a lot of coffee, bottled water & soda) but don't bother with the DBP - waste of money. If we bring wine, we won't go over 4 alcoholic beverages each, and if we do, it's cheaper to pay for one that pay for the DBP.

Agreed... I've never smoked, but the wife does. She swore "when they hit 8 bucks, I'll quit.... when they hit 10 bucks I'll quit... "  here we are at 12 bucks and still hasn't quit, BUT has finally started taking the Chantix so hoping for some results!! 

checking in for your cruise happens 45 days prior to the cruise. The app should be connected to your Royal Caribbean account, which will have a credit card attached to it, from when you booked your cruise. We always use the same CC for all our Royal purchases, and it's the default in my account, but it can be changed while purchasing if you want. Hope that answers your question. 

This is almost certainly what we will do.
CocoCay might be my wife's favorite place on earth. She loves it. Thus, I love it 🤣
If they are pushing that beach club in Nassau, they can have it.  No way I'm paying the $300pp that thing is going to cost.

That would annoy the hell out of me - I have no use for Nassau, and LOVE Coco Cay. I wonder if the new beach club on Nassau will be open by then, and maybe they're going to be pushing that?

Right, it wasn't going to impact cruise schedules, but it could have eventually affected cruise supplies.

Wait @sfrome, check your dates! You may want to show up on the 27th, not the 29th. 😉

so are we - Jan 5-16. Did it 5 years ago on Anthem - was supposed to do it 3 years ago, but DD caught Covid before christmas, & was still positive prior to the cruise (when they were still testing) so we missed it.  Still annoyed about that - we had bid for and won the 2 BR grand suite from a Jr suite for 4 of us, and we were very disappointed to miss it
 

The simplest way to sum up the rules is "Don't add power outlets".
Single outlet power adapters (for voltage and/or shape) are fine.  Multi-port chargers (USB/Thunderbird/etc) are fine.  Neither of these increase the number of power outlets.

Hello ChatGPT, nice to see you again.

It worked for me, but I swear it wasn't there the first time, I had to go back then re-tap manage your booking.
 

We love Bayonne, but that might be due to the convenience factor of being the closest port to home and disembarkation is an absolute breeze.  

Can't speak to the differences, but I've sailed out of Bayonne several times, and have usually found things fairly smooth.

My wife and I are on this cruise also 
 

well, they're back - EXCEPT  for the one I took back in 1988 on Song of America - the points are still there, just doesn't list the cruise

well, that's weird - mine aren't showing either - although how I got to Diamond with no past cruises is certainly a puzzler...
 

If having two full baths is critical AND you want to save some $$$, the best hack is to book adjoining cabins (inside, ocean view balcony, Central Park Balcony, Boardwalk balcony, etc.). We book adjoining cabins when sailing with other family members and it works out great for everyone! 🙂 
Happy Sailing! 🙂 

some of the Jr suites on Anthem have bath & 1/2 - 1 full bath w/ a bath/shower combo, 1 "powder room" - toilet & sink only. I think they used to be classed as Family Jr suites.  Our upcoming Odyssy cruise, I wanted a Jr Suite - ended up with what used to be a Spa Jr suite - 1 bathroom w/ sink & toilet, 1 with a bathtub (no shower enclosure) & a "spa" shower - from the pics, it has a rainfall shower head in the ceiling, plus a handheld shower hose and I think a shower bench.
