  1. Thank you for the information. We'll be in Sky class so if I get any word on my end I'll post what I've received. Supposed to be at Labadee March 6th I think?
  2. Was watching some YouTube videos about the cabanas at bare foot beach, never been. It was mentioned that they cost extra and you get an email about a week out from your suite concierge. Does Royal still do this? How much are they now?
  3. We'll be doing Vancouver to Alaska later this year. What's your recommendation?
  4. Depends on the time of the day. Traffic in Seattle is terrible, if you are coming in the morning it'll be really slow about 30 to 45 minutes. Uber and Lyft are allowed to charge more for the ride to and from the airport as well as staying in the Seattle area. Strange that the city council allowed it but nowhere else can they do this? You might want to price it for Lyft since they allow it on their website.
  5. Good place to eat by Pike Place or SeaTac by the airport is 13 Coins. They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner when they are open, wide variety of food. https://www.13coins.com/
  6. That's a good place to stay it's close to Pike Place market, walking distance to many waterfront attractions. There's construction going on to reinforced the retaining wall but hopefully will be done by summer.
  7. From the crew video they don't have microwave ovens unless there's one in their cafeteria. I'd skip it and just give them gift cards as they are able to receive packages. That way they can get whatever they really need.
  8. Found some pictures of Wonder. Can't wait until March 4th! https://www.instagram.com/p/CZBo9XroIkk/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CVsuUYlBO3E/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CUjTCiQBHwj/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CUxU2TrhMwP/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CV5HM9rsuG0/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CTpHt3QhR3H/?utm_medium=copy_link Play area under construction: https://www.instagram.com/kento1701/p/CYzVKAbBPNF/?utm_medium=copy_link Pool deck: https://www.instagram.com/p/CV45T5-B-pN/?utm_medium=copy_link Auqa Theater: https://www.instagram.com/p/CV2vjrVhR6O/?utm_medium=copy_link Central Park under construction: https://www.instagram.com/kento1701/p/CVW4DDjhpmX/?utm_medium=copy_link Ultimate ABBYS: https://www.instagram.com/p/CU54zDHhTR-/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CUXYhDmhAYg/?utm_medium=copy_link MDR: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUQxAkZB_fZ/?utm_medium=copy_link
  9. @twangsterThanks for the explanation. Seems a lot of work just to earn more points, we cruise a couple times a year but always stay in a suite because it's our only vacation time. Think if I make diamond plus I'll be happy as those perks seem pretty good for the amount we cruise. This seems to be a great strategy if you are young and want to achieve pinnacle early on.
  10. Laura Schwerzler Stratigic Account Manager at Royal talks about Royal in general but at 18:00 minutes she talks about Wonder in specifics.
  11. Oh didn't even consider doing that!? Woohoo lots of Alaska cruises to book. Can this work if we are already booked on cruises?
  12. @twangster when we make diamond, if I take some solo cruises and make diamond plus does my wife get that status because we married?
  13. Here's a link to vetted PPE not just n95 mask but other stuff as well. It's pricey but it's vetted to be what it says it is. https://www.projectn95.org/
  14. After reading this I'm no longer concerned. NEW SOUTHERN RESTAURANT AND BAR HEADLINES ROYAL CARIBBEAN’S CULINARY LINEUP ON WONDER OF THE SEAS The Mason Jar Joins 20-plus Dining Experiences for the New Ship’s Debut in March 2022 MIAMI, Jan. 19, 2022 – Royal Caribbean International takes adventure tableside aboard the world’s newest wonder, Wonder of the Seas, unveiling a lineup of more than 20 dining venues headlined by the debut of The Mason Jar Southern Restaurant & Bar. On board the highly anticipated ship that sets sail in March 2022, families and travelers alike also have in store an unmatched variety of flavors that range from Italian classics at Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar to American sports bar favorites at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, to New England-inspired dishes at Hooked Seafood. Where southern comfort food meets Royal Caribbean’s hospitality, The Mason Jar invites guests to share a meal, drinks and memories in a warm, casual setting. Every detail serves up southern charm in the new specialty restaurant, and setting the scene is farmhouse-style and rustic decor, live country music, even a cozy porch decked out with a swing for lounging and a great photo op, and a dedicated bar at the center of it all. On the menu are southern staples and new twists on classics the whole family can enjoy for brunch, dinner and late-night bites, beginning with freshly baked buttermilk biscuits and jalapeno cornbread. Brunch favorites range from savory johnnycakes topped with barbeque pulled pork to the Sweet-Tooth Cinnamon Roll. At suppertime, highlights include fried green tomatoes, authentic southern fried chicken, crab beignets served with lump crab dip, and shrimp and grits. And for a sweet ending, there’s everything from traditional pies to spiked floats and shakes. Plus, keeping the good times rolling is a robust collection of more than a dozen American whiskeys and a lineup of southern libations, such as the classic mint julep dusted tableside with powdered sugar and the Mississippi Moonlight – made with blackberry moonshine, blackberries and lemonade, and served in a chilled mason jar. Whether at a table for family dinner or at the bar for a bite, a nightcap and live music, The Mason Jar will be a hotspot day and night. The Mason Jar is just the beginning, with Wonder serving up a variety of restaurants, bars and lounges to choose from across eight signature neighborhoods. From Central Park to the all-new Suite Neighborhood – an Oasis Class first – more dining highlights on the upcoming ship include: The Vue – The happiest of happy hours can be found at this new cantilevered bar. The Vue offers panoramic ocean views by day, and after sunset, it shines bright with a colorful mosaic canopy overhead. Giovanni's Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar – It’s a family-style affair every day at Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar, the first on an Oasis Class ship. On the menu are freshly made, authentic staples, from hand-tossed pizzas to charcuterie boards and veal meatballs, to an extensive wine list, wine flights and cocktails, like an Aperol Spritz and Negroni. Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade – This popular venue brings guests of all ages together to catch the big game across dozens of big-screen TVs, battle it out in friendly competition at the arcade, and munch on bar fare and ice-cold draft beers. El Loco Fresh and Cantina Fresca – The grab-and-go spot for Mexican delights, like made-to-order tacos, burritos and quesadillas, now debuts a dedicated bar called Cantina Fresca that serves a selection of “aguas frescas,” margaritas and other Mexican staples. The Lime & Coconut – This signature pool deck experience is at the center of the Caribbean vibes, with multiple poolside bars and live music. Vacationers can also enjoy more options, such as Wonderland, Asian-inspired flavors at Izumi, American steakhouse Chops Grille, American seasonal dishes at 150 Central Park, Johnny Rockets, Starbucks, Sugar Beach, and more. Whatever the mood on any given day, Wonder introduces a culinary lineup that caters to guests and their varying palates. Throughout the ship, travelers can also complement their meal with a unique set of Caribbean-inspired drinks, bold and spirited classics, and even zero-proof cocktails as part of Royal Caribbean’s reimagined beverage menus. Setting sail for the first time in March 2022, Wonder will call three marquee destinations home during its inaugural year: Fort Lauderdale, Florida (March-April); Barcelona, Spain, and Rome (April-October); and Port Canaveral, Florida (year-round, starting November). The new ship’s combination of firsts and favorites will bring to life adventures across thrills, dining, entertainment, technology and more as travelers sail to locales in the eastern and western Caribbean, including Royal Caribbean’s private island destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; and Cozumel, Mexico. In Europe, vacationers can head to the western Mediterranean and visit must-see places, such as Naples and Florence, Italy; Palma de Mallorca, Spain; and Provence, France.
