In my opinion in the grand scheme of things, Mario doesn't move the needle either way. He's just one cruiser sailing in one cabin and the perks he gets on each sailing really don't affect the bottom line all that much.

Mine haven't posted for either of my Indy sailings. I heard the same from others on our sailing. I would assume calling Club Royale will start the research process. They can obviously see that I have two instant certificates that would total more than the points that are currently showing.

Luggage tags will be in your cruise documents. It should be at 30 days out, so they should be available now or within the next few days.

Did that article say it's the same folks that did NCL's Terminal B? If so, ugh. Terminal B sucks.

Those drinks are fun! Hideaway has some good ones too and with 100% less kids!

It is Vintages. That's the wine bar on the older Oasis class ships.

I was on Adventure over Christmas this past year. It's not the newest ship with the most bells and whistles, but it isn't fair to compare it against the newer and larger ships. As you've been on an Oasis class ship it will feel slightly familiar as Oasis did evolve from this class of ships (Voyager). I would have no issues sailing on her again.

I just did a 3nt to Brugges from Southampton. They're rare, but they are there!

The Facebook group and GroupMe are set up. There was an issue with the Facebook group so it's paused right now. If you need invites to either ask your MEI agent and they should be able to get you added!

This is the hack I use when I have to check in when I'm on a ship.

Not sure. I was in an oceanview but I'm a night owl and slept in most days past when the morning housekeeping would have been.

Nope, VOOM was included. It was already loaded when I boarded. I didn't either, but since my mom was paying I decided to be a guinea pig and try it out and report back to her. But for me I was on a casino comp in an oceanview room and solo on a 3-nighter, so that $900 for it was nothing compared to what others end up paying with multiple in their room on longer sailings.

Onboard the ship, swim diapers are only allowed in specific areas. The big children's splash area does not allow swim diapers. However, the splash areas on CocoCay do allow swim diapers.

Royal Genie also gives you internet which is another monetary component to factor into the pricing. Ships with the Royal Genie program do not use the suite classes. A Grand Suite on Oasis, Quantum and Icon classes is Sky class and gets Sky class benefits, but a Grand Suite on Independence and Freedom will not give all the same benefits. Again, the biggest missing piece of those benefits is the free internet.

Can't get enough of us now can you, Tim?
