Might i recommend bringing your phone to the loo ? You may not be hiding your blog from your wife, but it does take multitasking to a new level .... #protip I mean, unless the Wonder has Love Toilets? -

You've come to the right place ... i can help you with that. Follow me for alcohol tips. I'm a professional. Follow @asquared17 for non-alcoholic tips. We all know what happens when she's only had one drink and reverts to using vouchers for (I'm sorry, A, too soon? ) -
I would've been open to a beach bed (because, TBH, I've never really been impressed with Royal's Cabanas compared to others we've rented), but they've been gone for a while!

IKR?! When I'm on my cruise, I feel like there is always someone wishing my week away while they are counting down for theirs! -

Hmm, is this why they stopped serving champagne on the bridge tour? (We had it in 2019 on Anthem, but not Oasis 2023) -

What is this 6:30am you speak of? Are you in hell or on a cruise ship? -

Hope you take some pics at Capt Bob's! Have fun! -
Can you imagine?! They are $1699 now for our cruise. This stuff is getting insane! The Hideaway Cabanas were cheapest at $1499 ... Thanks to everyone who responded. A Hideout Cabana opened up and we went with that ... with a bit of trepidation... but, hey, YOLO!

Hmm, that sounds borderline shenanigans to me! But inquiring minds want to know ... who had to tell them 2-3x? Please say you! Edit: nevermind! That's what i get for engaging before reading the whole thread! @WAAAYTOOO knows what's what! -

This never ceases to amaze me. Our last Norwegian cruise (which was over Thanksgiving) had 35 Diamond Plus equivalents (norwegian separates points, 175-349 is Sapphire and 350-699 is Diamond, so there were 29 Sapphires and 6 Diamonds) and a whopping 2 Ambassadors (700+ points) on a ship with nearly 4k pax. Sometimes i think Royal's loyalty program is a victim of its own success. I say this because for the most part, Norwegian's added tier benefits after Platinum (Royal's Diamond status equivalent) are negligible. I'm not sure of anyone who chases status after achieving Platinum. We're sitting at 290 points (Sapphire) and have no reason to get to Diamond. Heck, we had no reason to go from Platinum to Sapphire. -

Hey! IYKYK! -
Here's the deal ... We've rented an OTW cabana at Coco Beach in the past and loved it. However, on our upcoming cruise, i absolutely will not spend $4099 + tax on our upcoming cruise for < 8 hours. Yeah, i can't justify that as we are not sharing the expense. There are 7 Cabanas still left with a cruise date of 5/31. Good for Royal for getting 3 sold; we will not be one of them at that price. I thought about the Hideout Cabanas but i wasn't sure Hubs would go for a pool on a beach. By the time he agreed, they are sold out. Our intinerary is such that we're only getting off the ship at PDCC. Hubs won't get off the ship without a decent home-base where sand isn't getting in his nethers, IYKYK. He's totally a cabana man. That said, which part of PDCC are you booking a cabana if Coco Beach and Hideaway Beach are off the table? South Beach? Chill Island? Not sure hubs would consider Oasis Lagoon? Thanks for any input. .

Ok, i had to look up where you're from because i was genuinely worried for you. I see in your case CPS stands for Chicago Public Schools (at least i hope!). In my neck of the woods ... CPS is Child Protective Services.
