Good to know...I will keep checking back! Jane

All checked in. Used the barcode trick to see our room, even though technically still listed as guarantee. Hoping our royal up gets accepted on something, since deck 2 middle of the ship is about as far from anything as you can get, and I'm worried about being that low and odor issues. Jane

Miami vice, lava flow, and everything with a kraken floater! Jane

Hey everyone, I'm on Rhapsody in June out of San Juan. I started trying to check-in at midnight and got through 4 mins later. Earliest time I could get was 12:00-12:30. It's been forever since I've sailed out of San Juan, and I know we sailaway at 8. Is this truly the earliest time, or should I do the key and would it be earlier? I know... We are talking maybe an hour but I'm just wondering. Jane

Yeah I saw the video and that's what gave me the idea! Will probably watch that video over and over just to enjoy the balcony! Jane

Oh perfect! I’m sooooo excited for that balcony! Jane

Yeah I tried to look up all the room descriptions of room size….some only give you an extra 10 square feet for a lot more cost. Jane

I am beyond excited to have the balcony! Yes, I know about the Pullman because I’m the one who will have to climb into it! Ugh! Wonder if the loungers would be comfy!? Jane

Ok…I’ve never actually had 3 cruises booked at the same time, so I’m in planning paradise (and back to the boards after a year and a half cruise break!). We have booked an amazing cruise for my youngest’s college graduation…cabin 7388 on voyager of the seas going to Italy and Croatia in June 2025. The deck is a corner sunset aft and it is huge! The room, however, is pretty tiny for 3 people and I snore! I’m thinking it might be fun to try and put up a hammock on the deck. Does anyone have a good one they like and are they hard to put up? Jane

Bummer! Someone needs to crack the code in the next day ! . Jane

So no rhyme or reason at all? Ugh! What do I do lol! This was a yolo it’s cold in Illinois book a cheap cruise but I have spacious cabin dreams! Jane

Hi…I never got an email about a royal up bid for my June 2 rhapsody cruise, but I happened to be on the website during the login fiasco time and saw there are a gazillion royal up options…like 7…that I can bid on. My question is if you win more than one, does royal pick which one you take, or can you decide? And can you win more than 1 even, or do they only give you one? I’m trying to decide if I hedge my bets and bid on more than one, or only do one that I really really want. Jane

When I followed the link it says content isn’t available. Jane

We always fly in the day before, so I have only shuttled or taxied from a hotel. However, there was a very easy taxi line to get in at the airport. Have only heard entertainment out of colon, and that’s been the typical couple stage/song/dance shows and a couple headliner/comedian. Cant wait to check in next week! Jane

We walked everywhere and loved the 2 forts, as well as the old cathedral where Ponce de Leon is buried. We were able to get a national park stamp at El Morro, which made me very happy! We got mofungo at a restaurant that Matt recommended a long time ago. I don't remember the name but it was really good! I am so excited that we are actually embarking from San Juan in June, so we are going to spend the night in old Town! Jane

Yeah it is a struggle. We normally could have our daughter watch our schnauzers, but she got a dog that doesn't like other doggies! Jane

I have at least 5 years to go, maybe 10, but it is so fun to see 15-29 day cruises offered!!! Gotta have something to get us through the long Midwest winter!!!!! Jane

Oh I hate but am so glad to see this thread. Our vet is sending emails and cancelling pets with Santa over this illness. I am panicking! We have covered our weekend in Jan with a friend but I'm totally freaking over March and June! Jane

I know, but don't want to lug it on! I think we've decided that I may just stress less if I just get the drink pkg . Jane

Totally subjective. We loved Jamie's so much on Harmony in January that we convinced our daughter to go on her honeymoon on Harmony and they loved it to. I liked it better than Giovanni's, but it's been a long time since I did Giovanni's. Maybe I need to book another cruise... Just for testing purposes of course . Jane

I have done 3 gty cabins and never had any trouble. In fact the locations have been great. We are doing another in June and I'm not at all worried. I think this was a fluke and things happen. We get insurance every time (and now cancel for any reason since Allianz screwed our family out of over $10000 but that's a whole other thread) and assume the best because frankly, the gty cabins save us a ton of money. Until it goes way South on location or we get turned away, I'm just not gonna worry. Mai Tai anyone? Jane

Rhapsody of the seas...June 2-9, 2025 7 night Southern Caribbean out of San Juan. Jane

Yep...I've looked at several compasses, and all changed clocks. Jane

Cool. That's what I was thinking but I will let you know...we are going in June!

Hi...has anyone done this excursion. I'm trying to figure out if my husband can do this one. It says it is strenuous, but every excursion that involves swimming is called strenuous. I'm trying to specifically find out what the hike is like. We'd like to book it, but can't do if it's very uphill or extremely rough terrain. We've done national Park hikes, just need a slower pace. Thanks!!! Jane
