I put the “sleeping off the adventure” sign on my door and tell my kids that Santa is watching. 
 
works 60% of the time, all the time.

Is this your first baby? You'll probably hear every peep even on the balcony. I generally didn't start ignoring mine until the third or fourth came along...

Success! No hassle at all! I'm glad we got it changed. Now we'll have an even bigger balcony for the same amount of money. Thanks!

My guess would be the ones by the wave pool, and of those #33-37, though they might be the closest to the restrooms
#43-48 have a walkway behind them that leads to one of the water park entrance/exits, so seems like those would get the most foot traffic around them.
IIRC #49-54 also got foot traffic from people exiting the slide pool. Plus I think (it's been a couple years) people walked along that area to pick up rafts.
Again, just my guess!

The zipline is only one time, not an all day pass.

You can always bring food into the bars with you

Just order the second entree. Otherwise you might be in for a long wait second time around

I was able to book Hibachi at the $28.99 rate for my group of 8 at 6PM on the last sea-day on Wonder, on the June 25, 2023 sailing!   I had this originally booked for all 8 of us on the second sea-day (day 3) at $45.99.  This just saved me a bunch!

OP's name/handle suggests it all. One off post. 

I didn't realise that when people replied to some posts  saying " This is a fans site only " they meant Only Fans lol 😆 
Used to be posts all about transfers to ports, Wifi speeds etc now it's about voyeurism 🤣

The lounger is a two-lounge chair set up with clamshell umbrella, specifically reserved, and you only need to purchase 1 for two people. There are free lounge chairs with umbrellas throughout Labadee.

You'll find your excursion tour tickets in your stateroom on Day 1. They'll have more of those details. But usually the start time listed on the cruise planner will be the meeting time (we usually show up 10min before to be safe). If it's not a tender port, the meeting place will be after you debark. It could be on the pier just outside the ship or at the end of the pier. There will probably be large groups of people milling about waiting for their excursions so it should be easy to find the area. There will be someone holding a sign for each excursion. Check in with them, and they'll give you further (if any) instructions. If it's a tender port, I believe the excursion tickets will list where on the ship to meet.

The longest cruise possible is when ones significant other says they want a divorce on night one. 
 
Pre purchase insurance for this rare event with the Deluxe beverage package in cruise planner.

Are the new menus not in covers any longer?  The last couple cruises they were attached to a board with rubber bands but with the new menus it appears they are just handing you a piece of paper?  I know it sounds like I'm complaining but the MDR experience is one of the main draws for us.  If I want a flimsy paper menu with a choice of four entrees (excluding the vegan and Indian items) I could go to the local Applebee's.  Can't Royal find a way to cut cost without totally cheapening and destroying the MDR.

So disappointed by the removal of this. There's a warm apple cobbler with ice cream a couple nights, but that's not quite the same...

Just wanted to share that we won a pretty good deal with our upcoming cruise on Odyssey of the Seas. We originally booked over 100 days out for a GTY interior at $634 PP for 3 of us. So when I received the email and opportunity to bid we decided to take a shot. So we bid on a balcony and large balcony. We ended up getting a large balcony today 32 days out. After the bid we are paying $800 plus taxes and gratuities for a large balcony. Not bad considering a large balcony right now is $2200 PP and the cheapest since we booked was $1500 PP.

I have never cruised out of New Orleans and decided to try the New Years Eve Cruise on Radiance of the Seas for my wife's and my anniversary.  The ship was beautiful and the upkeep was noticed as every area seemed to shine.  The food was excellent, my wife and I commented that each area Windjammer, Main dining and Chops were all the best experiences we had in a while.  The food was fresh and well prepared.  We think that maybe because they did not have to cook for as many people they were able to make smaller batches to keep food fresher.  Room attendant was best we have had in a while as well, he anticipated our needs and really went above and beyond.  Ports were awesome and overall cruise was great.  One thing that needs improvement in New Orleans is disembarkation.  We literally got in a line that was so long it went around the cruise ship entirely.  Over hearing many guests not happy with the process, I think they should have slowed down calling numbers and waited to clear the backlog, but they just kept calling numbers and the backup continued.  That is only thing I would improve for this cruise but easily one of the best cruises we have been on with Royal, as a Diamond member we had never tried this class of ship and were really surprised by all it had to offer.  Would definitely go on this class again if given the opportunity.  

Take the train. TrenItalia is the best place to look at schedules.  You can even book ahead of time to (sometimes) save money.

I do my research before I shell out $500.00

I just got off the phone with a customer service representative. I was able to get an one-time extension for my FCC to be applied to my May 2024 cruise. To do so, I had to agree that if I cancel this cruise, I forfeit my credit. I am fine with this.  
While I understand these are highly specific circumstances (i.e., pregnancy/new baby covering the duration of an issued FCC), I just wanted to post a follow-up in case someone similar is ever in this situation. Good luck and happy cruising! 

As many folks suggested, our steward was more than happy to open up the outside partitions.  He actually did it immediately and it worked out great, much better than adjoining rooms.  Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

Definitely Cuba, followed by South American itineraries

As any good TA would tell you. Don't go chasing Waterfall cabins. Please stick to the balconies and ocean views like you're used to.
