Awesome, this is the first I've heard this. I'd love to hear confirmation of this feature if anyone has the info. We're cruising w/ my 2 teens on Harmony, so are hoping to use the app for chat without needing to purchase internet. Push notifications would make things a lot easier instead of having to rely on them to check the app every so often.

You've seen a 50% decrease in the minimum bids for RoyalUp? Did you receive an email when the price dropped, or did you notice the change by checking the site?

I read somewhere that the minimum bid for RoyalUp can fluctuate leading up to departure. Has anyone experienced this? Do you get a new RoyalUp email when this happens, or do you just need to keep checking in on it to see what the current minimum is?

Ah, so like many of the other things I've been trying to get smart on - it's totally unpredictable, makes little sense, and often RC's own staff doesn't understand it! Gotcha.

I will be on Harmony and the escape room showed up on the CP for me within a few days (maybe 2 or 3) of the rest of the shows becoming available for booking. The escape room is listed under Activities, while the show reservations are under Entertainment, so make sure you're looking in the right place :)

This is the first mention I've seen of a 1st time Harmony cruiser briefing. Do you know what's covered in this and/or how long it is? I've done so much research that I'm not sure they'll cover anything I don't already know, but I don't want to miss anything important!

KristiZ - Thanks! I do have the app downloaded and am pretty sure I used it to check in all 4 of us. I planned to shuffle my pass into the deck and hope for the best :) MarvinS - Thanks for sharing your experience! Happy to hear that embarkation is so painless...hopefully that will be the case for us too! We will definitely be there early - 10:15-ish.

We're sailing on Harmony out of Port Canaveral this summer and I'm printing out my SetSail passes tonight. I noticed that my wife and kids have a green 'Expedited Arrival' bar at the top of their's and I do not. Any idea why they'd have it and I wouldn't? Does it make any difference? I'm picturing myself downtrodden in a long non-moving line while they're all smiles waltzing right onto the ship!

After turning on airplane mode you will need to enable wifi. This will allow you to access voom (wifi) without allowing your phone to use any of the other mobile services that you would get charged for by your carrier (ex. AT&T, Verizon, etc.).

FYI - the Half Day Waterpark + Zipline package is available again in my Planner today. The half day pass is still not an individual option outside of the package though.

I bought the half day pass about 2 months ago for a sailing on HOS this summer. It's been missing from the Perfect Day 'menu' in my Planner for weeks now. I thought maybe RCI was trying to avoid easy price checking, so I even tried the trick of accessing it from my cruise calendar to attempt a price check. The description would display, but no pricing. If they've really discontinued this option, I wonder how they'll handle the half day passes I already purchased. (free upgrade to full day?!? ?)

I have all of us (including 12YO) signed up for the 3-meal package. Is that something that they would handle as a package, or each restaurant does their own thing? I'd save $60 if he is only $10 per meal.

I'll have a 12 year old with me in July. If I understand things correctly, he will be able to order off the adult menu, but does he need to order from the kids menu for us to get the kids price?

One thing to keep in mind: If you have a time slot preference it might be best to book it now. When I booked I only had one choice (assume the other slot was full), and now the half day option doesn't even show up in my Planner (assuming both are full).

I'm also interested in this! Many of the popular tour operators that I keep reading rave reviews on seem to operate off the east coast of Roatan, which I've read is the less desirable side due to the possibility of choppy waters? I haven't really read any comparisons of the underwater view of east vs. west. I also keep seeing that snorkeling right off the beach in West Bay is supposed to be great, but am concerned about crowds and would prefer to have a guide with us.
