How great would it be for RCL or any buffet honestly to invest in 10 cent discs for each table like Brazilian Steakhouses use.  Yes there would still be some tables that do not use them and so the cleaning staff would have to make a best judgement but these could help tremendously.

It has to be within 30 days of booking, which I was. It also has to be for a sail date within a year of redemption (mine is this November). I booked the cruise online at the RCI site, then I purchased the reward. When you purchase a reward they send you an e-mail with instructions. I just e-mailed the address they gave me (which was the Club Royale address) and gave them my cruise reservation number and the reward number and asked them to apply it. When I got back the confirmation e-mail that it had been applied, my husband purchased the same reward and we did the same thing. I figured if they said no I could just return the reward, but they just applied that one too which I was very psyched about. $200 for playing a silly online game, I'll take it!

The beds were pre-assigned.  When we got to our stateroom there was instructions and an assigned bed.  There is a map with it to show which beds are where.  Be sure to take the tram once you get off the pier, it will take you around to the check in concierge for the day beds.

We were on the Harmony for the extended cruise over Labor Day and we did a Day Bed on Chill Island and it was wonderful.  They do have waiters that walk around taking drink orders throughout the day.  It does make it very nice to not have to get up and down for cocktails all day long, but the swim up bar is very close as well as the Snack Shack and other necessities.  just for what it is worth, the day beds were great, that part of Chill Island is just that, CHILL.  Super quiet when we were there and the water was fantastic.  Hope you enjoy it if you do wind up getting it.
P.S. The price is for up to 4 people, so keep that in mind.  They do give you wristbands when you get there so it is limited to just those 4 people.

I have an upcoming cruise. I have Diamond status and my new husband has never been on a cruise before. I called crown and anchor and they gave him Diamond status.  It took about 2 minutes.

It's basically a front of the lines pass with internet. If you don't care about lines it won't be worth it to you. Also, watch this video it helped me.
 

Still showing as reduced price in my cruise planner. So many ways they could have stopped this after they realized what was going on (I mean, how many times have you been thrown an error message when trying to get on the site?), but yet they haven’t. 
I honestly don’t care if they cancel my pkg as I’m not a big drinker, but shame on RC for having this still up if they’re planning on not honoring them.
