    Adventure suite lounge also opens up to a nice suite sun deck with some nice and cool shady areas

    Yeah, I've gotten used to cruises just disappearing...they are back again.  Just gets a higher level of concern with open tickets about paid off cruises suddenly saying we owe money and that they are in danger of being cancelled 😉

    Well....let's hope the fact that I had them move the final payment due date on mine while they work to resolve helps me out.  Sorry for your pain
     
    Although...ALL my upcoming cruises have dropped out of view on my account......I've had THAT happen before so fingers crossed when they come back everything is still okay 😉

    No.  And this is the reason I never/can't use a travel agent.  Since my first cruise which I booked through a website 'agent'...every other cruise has been based on a Casino Offer to start that I then upgrade to a room I really wanted....I tried transferring some of them time to time and the various agents I have contacted have had no success in a transfer (or desire to push/find a way to make it happen)....technically speaking though...booking through Casino is treated like the casino is your TA in the RCCL system...as weird as it sounds.
    Happy'ish to hear your issue today was a simple issue that everyone had while RCCL was doing maintenance.

    Concert was a blast......also.....opened up the IT tickets and call we over with.  They did move the last payment due date for the cruise a few weeks to allow them time to resolve the issue without it impacting anything with regard to automated processes

    I got two of those emails today for my two reservations in July.....one says I own $208 and the other says I owe $1081 on reservations that have been paid in full since May 2020 and 'lifted/shifted' twice.  So now I am on hold waiting for someone to answer wondering if I will get through before they close for the day with the tons of OTHER people probably all calling in with the same issue
    The 12 minute later update....CS rep gets on, says no problem, everything shows 0 here, let me just generate and send you a new invoice....he sends the new invoices....they all say "Money due" and he is like WTF....so now....he is also calling resolutions department

    dodgestang got a reaction from ScooterScott22 in Suite grand piano information   
    We have quite a bit of experience in the Royal Suite and the Piano.....Grandeur (x3), Serenade (x1), Enchantment (x1), Vision (x1) Adventure (x1) between 2018 to present.  There isn't one on Anthem (x3) unfortunately 😞
    Everyone of these rooms had an 'auto' player built into the piano.  It is older style auto play and will have 10-12 songs it can play (unlike the newer models which are network enabled and can have an extensive library of tens of thousands of songs like the one we have at home.  My piano tuner also tunes(tuned) all the piano on ships that sail out of Baltimore so.....I never noticed it being out of tune.  We use the auto play on our first cruise, but after that, we've never used the auto play....my daughter plays piano....so it gets played 2-3 hours a day everyday when we are on board.
     
    Also, Vision Royal Suite also had a bluetooth stereo in the room (so we didn't need to use our speaker)

    dodgestang got a reaction from bobroo in What can a nearly 12 year old do?   
    My soon to be 12 yr old (who has been cruising since she was 8 enjoys the following.......in no particular order
    - swimming
    - hot tubs
    - Karaoke
    - Trivia
    - Every show, every night
    - Frequent trips for hot chocolate
    - Bingo
    - Rock wall
    All of which have absolutely nothing to do with the kids/teen club because neither of kids like that....we tried once and they said "it feels like we are in daycare" and I didn't want to do that to them on their vacation since at the time they were in daycare 5 days a week after school and on days off from school

    Yes you will be.  We are sailing in July in a Junior thanks to a casino coupon....and we were able to bid on Grand, Owner's, and Royal......and are patiently waiting to hear if we will end up with an upgrade on the cheap for a cruise on the cheap 😉

    My kids favorite memory of Coco is the first time we were there in a day bed on the old south beach (before the perfect day extravaganza)....it started raining and they were all like "What do we do now" as they watched all the people run out of the water, pack up their crap and leave......it wasn't a thunder storm, so I took them into the water....which was warm, and the chilly rain splashed on their faces while they swam.....20 minutes later it stopped, sun came out...and we were the only people around for the rest of the day.

    $1000-1500 if you want all the photos and maybe 1 large one
    I believe it is $800 just for all digital copies of everything they take.
    Done it on Anthem twice 😉
    We got these during the first pro session we did back in 2019
