Even though it says I've purchased it I can still click on it and go in and purchase it. Dangit, lol.

Haha right! Didn't think of that. Guess I'll keep it then. ?

It's showing up as already purchased for my Anthem cruise to Norway, too.  Usually $72 pppd. No way we'd all  get that lucky. LOL

I had a few dinners with a celiac in Coastal Kitchen on Anthem in January.  They were very understanding and accommodating.  They identified which entrees were off limits and they were able to modify sauces or secondary items on other plates to satisfy her requirements.  
While not a specialty venue exactly, they do have their own small galley.  Most importantly they immediately understood and were very careful to check with the chef to validate safe choices and then repeated it again for dessert.  I was impressed how they handled the last minute request or special diet on the spot.  

My 5/9/21 (hope) Oasis DBP dropped from $61 to $46 per day, which is the best I've seen in a long while.  I cancelled and re-purchased and today it's back to $61.  Strike while the iron's hot ?

Everything that's available in the refreshment package is available in the Unlimited Bev Package, so since if free, it wouldn't matter ?

That's better than the $18 intern special!

True statement. My statement is also true, when you take the full context: the next total solar eclipse that crosses North America / the USA. I’m not sure about the 20-year part, but I do remember reading it’ll be a hella long time until the next such opportunity.

Sometimes the point is closed if tides are up but on this particular day it was open.

OK, I know this is WAAAY in the future, but these sorts of things have to planned out WAAAY in advance!
On April 8, 2024, the Great North American Total Solar Eclipse will sweep across the continent, with one of the best potential viewing spots being a strip on the ocean in between New Brunswick and Newfoundland / Labrador. There will also be viewing spots running from central New Brunswick WSW down through Maine, Montreal, and northern New York state.
We know that Royal did an Eclipse sailing for the last North American total eclipse in 2017; so even though this is further north and they don't normally sail that way so early in the year, I could see them making an exception. Especially if cruising is finally back to normal travel levels by then (and lord help us if it isn't!); they will probably see something like that as a HUGE draw for folks looking to see the eclipse without fighting for hotel space or a spot to view it.
So what do y'all think? Should we start pressuring @Matt now to keep an eye out for such a cruise and get it on the GC board as soon as it appears? ? Could be on Empress out of Montreal, or maybe they'll do an early NE sailing out of Boston or NJ. Cape Liberty already has 7-night Bahamas sailings in April, so I'm betting they'll have at least one sailing for this last major total eclipse in North America for the next... I think 20 years or more?

There's a sidebar article there discussing the passengers and basically slamming them as a trio of nimrods:

Very glad to see that MSC more or less expected to have people like that on board, had the procedures in place to keep tabs on excursion members, and were absolutely willing to enforce the rules with zero tolerance. Let the example be set right now -- you try to act like the rules don't apply to you, and you will find out how wrong you are so fast it'll make your head spin.
Simultaneously, it's really depressing that they more or less expected to have people like that on board.

I'm feeling smug and vindicated. 

Really? I had NO IDEA.  Thank you for this information.
