And don't forget to put your cell in AIRPLANE MODE.

What is your backup plan?
-
Yes, thanks. I booked the cruise last week. I didn't see it on the booking. Edit: I found it! Thank you @Ampurp85!

I purchased a NC certificate via the app three weeks ago while on Oasis. I thought I had seen OBC as part of the offer, but I don't see it on the certificate. Where would I locate it? I didn't see it on the booking either (which was made last week).

Thanks for following up on the boards. We considered doing this but never booked our son in his own cabin; we went the Crown Loft route instead. However, it never occurred to me that if they end up with their own room, and mom and dad are booked in their own room, the kiddo will get double points. Our son is finishing his college freshman year, so these booking strategies don't matter anymore to us (maybe grandchildren in the future). Hubby and I went on our first empty nest cruise three weeks ago on Oasis. It was bitter-sweet. Time is a thief, parents. Take those kids with you when you can. In a blink, they will be gone.

I love these blog message boards! Nicely moderated, and posters are always contributing new information. Love it! So, @Sea Squirrelwhere are you seeing these C&A DBP Diamond offers? Is it on the cruise planner? Just turned Diamond two weeks ago.

Crickets. Really loud crickets.

What would you do? Unclean bathroom glasses

Purposefully soil them so your attendant knows that you are watching. For context, a conspicuous camera deters bad conduct more than a hidden camera. -
New Jr Suite class on Symphony?
Baked Alaska replied to Leroyr55's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
@F1guynz and @Lovetocruise2002 Here are the screenshots for Feb 2026 for Symphony (it is this way on all the 2/2-26 sailings). The devil is in the details (or lack of them). Either they've (oops) "left it off," or they're being ambiguous for a reason. Will Royal hire more concierges for these additional cabins? From my sailing last week, I can tell you that Willy and Shaun worked their arses off. Adding the additional TRULY Sky class junior suites without the additional concierge would be crazy. Also, the SKY Junior Suite says Coastal Kitchen dinner based on availability (same, that's not a Sky class amenity). Grand Suite has the usual all-day access, etc. -

It also does NOT include the Concierges. -

There is no wet bar sink on any ship. The only sink will be in your restroom.

New service SOTS? Luggage taken to airport for us
Baked Alaska replied to Eyeonhevn's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Disney offers this, or used to, however Southwest was not one of the airlines they partnered with so we could never use it. -
Creme Brulee and Baked Alaska.

Too bad we can't resell our current bookings and make a profit.

Ketchikan Alaska Knudson Cove Salmon Fishing
Baked Alaska replied to Crystle's topic in Shore Excursions
My husband and son did this excursion in 2019. My husband confirms that there are bathrooms on the boat. Because it is a Royal Caribbean excursion, you have to wait for other people that have booked the same excursion to show up on the bus. They had to wait a long long time. They caught fish and were able to have them cleaned, flash frozen, and sent to our house. We had a box of fresh salmon delivered by FedEx the day after we returned from our cruise. The fishing was was mostly trolling with a little bit of downrigger. They had to wait for each person to have their chance to reel in a salmon. While they would do this excursion again if there were no other choices, we've learned how to book our own spin casting and fly fishing excursions at each Alaska port. Have a great time! -
Ovation of the Seas is in Skagway on June 10th. We want to take the Fast Ferry from Skagway to Haines roundtrip. Ovation is scheduled to be in Skagway from 7 am to 5 pm. We would like to take the 3 pm ferry back to Skagway, putting us back in Skagway at 3:45 pm. The time coming back before that is 1pm, which I don't think is giving us enough time to do our thing in Haines. The HSFF dock is in the small boat harbor, next to the railroad, so it is very close to the ship, but I'm wondering if this is enough time?

Hello everyone! EDIT: After reading other reviews and adding costs, it's cheaper, and more allows more freedom to do this on our own. Has anyone done this excursion? How do we get back down from the Skyride (Paradise Point)? Do we take the Skyride back down, or do they mass bus us to the next stop? I'm considering doing this alone, but I wanted opinions on this excursion.

Hello all, I am looking for an elevated experience beach day in St. Thomas along the lines of CocoCay Beach Club. We are headed to St. Thomas in February. I'll probably still have my boot, crutches, and knee roller (sigh). Recommendations and suggestions are appreciated.

Hello everyone , My friend and I are headed to Fort Lauderdale for our cruise tomorrow. Since making these arrangements I have fractured my ankle. I am currently using crutches and a full leg boot. Do the ports of Costa Maya and Cozumel have trams, like they do at CoCo key or something similar, that can assist with getting me from the ship to the port? Those docks can be especially long. We have transportation worked out from the port to the beach clubs we are visiting, it's just those long cruise ship piers If necessary, I'll take my knee roller.
