Thanks for the quick response, I had the key on my last Grandeur cruise and it was OK. I was looking into the GS as perhaps a special perk for our anniversary. Can we upgrade after final payment?

I know we have many GOS experts contributing, so I would like information on the dining benefits with a grand suite? I have seen references to breakfast and lunch in the specialty restaurants on certain days, but many of these are dated and may still not apply. I am trying to balance the GS benefits and costs with those of the Key for example.

Checked today and I drop off bag and eat Chops lunch in MDR which is more efficient than running around the ship like I did in May.

The embassy suites has made to order breakfast and happy hour included. It is also near several restaurants within short walking distance. It also has a nice pool with waterfa ll.

For new England seafood, Kelly's landing on 17th st. Nightly dinner specials many with lobstahs.

Manhattan  pizza in harbor shops, owners from Brooklyn and ship dough in from N.Y.

Beach , las olas, sawgrass mall, dining, casinos- check trip advisor for details

According to this article may 4th is the target.

I regard to priority boarding, how does anyone know who has the key and who does not? I didnt see anything on my documents.

TIA!

There    is a key logo on my online set sail pass card.

Pretty cool. We bought this for our Navigator sailing next week! Looking forward to it!

I wonder if there will be any benefits at Coco cay/perfect day when it opens?

May rent a car this Friday for one day. Pickup at airport and return to location outside Port Everglades. Problem, wife hates the idea of me leaving her with luggage and returning the car and shuttle back. So question is can we return the car with our luggage with us, is there room on the shuttle for it?

There is room for luggage on the shuttle, drops you off by ship.

Avi s and budget are right outside the Freeport entrance. They drop you off and pick you up at the pier.

I have $275.00 on my on board credit account for my next cruise.  Can this credit be used as part of my gratuities?

 

That's mostly what I use mine for plus onboard expenses.

Grandeur of the Seas has it for $19/day

Glad someone received some benefits. I sent email to Michael Bayley and Carlos Moya this morning giving them an update on how their program is working and referenced this thread and those on cruise critic.

Has anyone had any recent success in getting obc. I just got rejected with fares that said they were combinable. Sent back with quote from small print.

They just added the Wild Boys to the entertainment lineup- from their videos they certainly seem both alive and popular.

Medications for at least two weeks.

There are 4 instead of the normal 3 ports, the 2 extra shows besides the normal 5 or six entertainment options, plus other activities or special tours to be announced. Plus the employees should be on their best behavior with the bosses onboard.

Thanks for the resonse, I am aware of some of the previous headliners and special sessions. I was wondering why this year's activities are such a close hold and why they haven't released some details.

Here is latest info on headliner-

ANNOUNCING GRAMMY AWARD WINNING BILLY OCEAN PERFORMING LIVE AT THE ULTIMATE LABADEE BEACH BASH!

A ‘Royal’ beach party awaits on our private destination –  Labadee, Haiti.  Find your island groove with live local music, topped by a special performance from Billy Ocean, performing his hits “Caribbean Queen”, “Suddenly”, “Loverboy” and more. To get you ready for the show, enjoy enhanced beverages, delectable treats, and kicked-up Labadee fun. And to make sure you have enough time to enjoy the festivities, the hours in Labadee have been extended.  As with all President’s Cruises, more surprises are on the way. This is not a cruise, this is a 7 day adventure you do not want to miss.

Just added Michael Bolton for onboard concerts.

Barce!ona a is a good place to start and end with a western med cruise or find one that ends in Venice. Or vice versa.

Check to see if the previous 3 steps have Check marks. If checked ok, I'd call.

Anyone have any insight into this year's cruise Sept 29th-Oct 6th? I understand that the royal Caribbean Signature visa card sponsors the special entertainment.
