Depends on the ship. ? If there is a Coastal Kitchen then you can make reservations once you get onboard for DINNER only. Double C&A points. It is nice to have more square footage and a bigger balcony, bathroom  and closet. Upgraded shampoo, conditioner, lotion... maybe more. It will also depend on your C & A status. I don’t necessarily keep track of which perk goes with C & A vs Suites. Check out the RC website.

We spent quite a bit of time in Playmakers in the evenings on the Mariner cruise with multiple generations of our family last month. Yes, many sporting events were on the TVs, but we all were also playing Jenga at the table, and other games. We used Playmakers as a fun rendezvous point (you aren't bored waiting for everyone to reassemble after various activities).

For any survey related emails you get from or for Royal, make sure to at least look at them-don't delete until you check it first. I got one about Cococay. They requested that I take some pictures and describe our visit there. In return they gave a $75 Amazon gift card. My information to them was due no later than the day after we returned and I had the gift card less than 7 days after that. It was well worth the few minutes spent....and Cococay was magnificent.

Here are a few pics from our snorkel adventures off Chill Island. Visibility was not the best the day we were there but neither was the weather. We had a great time anyway. Loved the lobster & saw more colorful fish than pictured here. I included the cheerful yellow tang. (There is one to the left in the lobster photo, too.) There were a lot of snorkelers by the shallow shipwreck when we were over there, so the sand was really disturbed, impacting visibility. 

Recently visited the Perfect Day @ Coco Cay on Harmony cruise. We, too, preferred the island as it was. (And so did our teenage kids. We can go to water parks at home.) Chill Island still retains some of the old feel. Note that the swim/snorkel area is smaller and no longer includes the small plane wreck that we loved to visit. We consulted the lifeguard manning the perimeter rope out in the water who indicated the wreck was now beyond their boundary. We did see a lot of great fish and multiple lobster.

Love the comments, but especially the reminder about the protocol allowing people to get OFF the elevator before others try to get on! This became an issue on our recent cruise...

We recently had a JS on the hump on Harmony (8244) and our balcony was roomier. Would recommend.

Just a little piece of geographical info. There is no cruise port in either Orlando or Cocoa. Both of those cities are inland. Port Canaveral is by Kennedy Space Center and the cities of Cape Canaveral and Cocoa BEACH.

I did bring my own cup. Loved that it keeps drink very cold. Yes, had to transfer my beverage, including using their cup for water & ice to pour into mine for sanitary reasons. No big deal. Definitely bring own reusable straws no matter what if you like to have straws with your drink. 

You know I'm with you most times, but this time I have to disagree.  I will almost always book JS or above now and it's not just for CK.  The JS is the fastest way to climb the C&A ladder and while it not matter to some, I will explain why it matters to me...Access to the Diamond lounge is a hidden perk.  It was our sailing in a regular cabin on Indy that convinced me of this.  Without access to the suite lounge, the Diamond lounge gave us access to a very similar experience.  I will continue to book JS and above because I worry that they will change the levels at some point.  The more points I can accumulate, the better.  And the extra space is still worth it to me, especially in the bathroom.

We got off the Harmony on 6/23/19 & can confirm that the waivers were done on tv in cabin. No longer available online prior to cruise. 

Wear something!!! Deck is unbelievably HOT!!!

Stowaway Piano Man was on our recent Harmony cruise and we loved him! Ran into him on the elevator more than once, and he really heated up the Royal Promenade one afternoon with his upbeat and crowd pleasing Elton John & Billy Joel tunes. So much fun and added to our cruise experience! ?

Magnets work for all kinds of things! (Used on multiple RC ships & regular & JS doors.).
