We stayed at the Atlantic in FLL beach for our honeymoon in 2018 and we really enjoyed it

The Key Ice Skating was available on my last 2 Key Sailings; IIRC it was morning and before the general open skate time

We stayed at the Gale in 2021 before a Freedom cruise and it was a really cute place in nice area. We enjoyed access to their "sister" hotel on the beachfront which included chairs for us to sit at which was a nice perk for being a non-beachfront hotel. The pool was small but we enjoyed just dipping and enjoying it, but the bar area was closed when we were there which was disappointing for no poolside drinks. Our only complaint was we booked a double room with friends not realizing the bathrooms were open We took turns showering while the other walked around town Seems like you have a great relaxing trip ahead of you!!

Very excited! Jealous of all of you going first

Exactly this! Our last few cruises have been on smaller ships so we have done more speciality dining but our Utopia cruise we're already paying a premium for new we'll eat whatever they give us! (Except for Mason Jar because we do want to try that)

We'll probably be testing this out as well in a few weeks! Just booked our brunch reservation for Day 3

I don't know which tub I would leave the least! They both look gorgeous

That makes sense! I think it depends on where you're going and when you need data for. I have bookmarked roamless to test out too now

We have used the app "Airalo" on the last three of our most recent European adventures. I like that we could buy country specific, or European specific (meaning it worked in a variety of countries without having to change anything on our end). It was easy to install (for both apple and android devices) and all we had to do upon arrival was turn our phones on. We used the UK only one on our recent trip to Scotland, a European one when we went on a Greece/Croatia cruise (starting in Italy and it worked on our layover in London) and then a Spain one for a land trip in Barcelona. It was easy to "top up" if we needed and was reasonably priced that if we had extra it didn't feel like we were wasting money.

We are nearing diamond here ourselves and making the same debate, but we still have some time

We were in the lounge and it was so loud she had to ask me multiple times and then we just kept seeing them around He just wears one on each hand, on his ring finger NOTHING CRAZY GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!!

We got accidentally approached on our last cruise because my husband wears a second ring as a figet toy and apparently that can be a sigh

For sure! We would have looked at a B2B for this one, but we'll be going to Disney World for the first time

I wish we were on for more than 4 nights or we would do both

Thank you! Excellent news Now to decide between Brunch & Dinner for what meal we'll have there ha

I see that Mason Jar has a late night menu, as well as some fun looking drinks. Does anyone know if its possible to go in there/hang out/listen to music with a drink without dining reservations? We are looking to have 1 meal there but think the vibe might be for us at other times. We loved the BBQ place on Oasis and just sitting & listening to the bank with one of their speciality cocktails.

Utopia Aug 26 2024

We only waited maybe 5 minutes, but we were not crushed for time with the shuttle. We didn't wait long for an Uber either, and the price was reasonable to the airport and we made it with plenty of time for our flight. If you want a sure thing, booking something in advance would be your best bet, either through Royal or another company.

We took an Uber, but I believe there were also just for hire shuttles that would take you for a cost (usually $10 a person) and they leave when they are full

Ugh!! Hoping they are able to sort it out ASAP and get you going

We flew in and out of PBI earlier this summer (at the height of the airline nonsense) from EWR We were delayed both ways but I blame that more on EWR than PBI. Although the gate agents did tell us that PBI/FLL/MIA all share the same airspace/ATC so if things are delayed to one of them they would have likely been delayed/stopped at all 3 so from a logistics perspective I would probably consider the 'dependability' of them the same.

we had a beach bed in 2019 (so not sure if changed_ but the top was covered, with like a bamboo slats? Along with curtains that can be bunched up or not on the sides. There were two lounge chairs for us to sit in that were right next to the bed, with the cooler in between. Depending on the angle of the sun, you could for sure soak it up on the bed during certain times of day

Our early dining for Sept on Explorer is still saying 6pm, this will be our first time doing the first seating

Same, I'm planning on checking on the 9th here in New York I am excited, it's our first Europe cruise as well, but back to back years on Explorer so will feel like home!

August 10! We are on the same cruise
