Just wait, maybe they will just give them to you like they did for me. ?

Hey!!!!  Do you think it's the same one responsible for the $18/day drink package? lol  jk…….

Maybe try back to back trips non-suite if you have the vacation time -- more bang for your buck that way!?

I tell you what, if you are in a giving mood,  I will GLADLY take any and all points that you would like to give up to get me up to the Diamond level!!!?

Well I just hope they don't catch it before our cruise in Sept on Anthem.
By the way I'm not like freaking out at being Emerald because it's not much better than Platinum, I'm more happy about the points bring at 59 I'm only 21 from being Diamond. That's the awesome part because with Anthem Sept and Oasis in May I should be at 71. So very close to a cool goal of Diamond. That's the big one that is doable. The others are just nuts. No way I'm getting up there. 

My immediate reaction was "Thank the intern!" lol

My immediate reaction reading this was "whatever you do....do. not. call. royal. Caribbean."  lol
Lucky you!!!

Man this is why I post here now and not cruise critic. You guys are nice and helpful. CC are some angry jerks. I mean some are nice and helpful but a lot of not so nice people. I only really sail Royal Caribbean so I might as well just post here going forward. Thank you again!

Both the main outside pool and the inside pool are right around 5 foot.  There is also a kiddie splash pool, and small water park/splash area and a doughnut shaped river.
About 5 minutes into my vacation video from April I have footage from the inside pool....and right in the beginning the labels for pool depth are visible for a second
 

Is your boyfriend over 21? If so, make him be the primary guest.  It would be easiest to use a Travel agent and let them figure it out.  It’s no cost to you and they can figure out the payments.  
If you are both under 21, you can’t cruise without someone 21 or over.  

So after Freedom I was able to convince my wife to cruise more. She found a deal for the MSC Bellissima from Barcelona and thought we would give them a shot since it was a brand new ship. The ship wasn't bad it just wasn't a great experience compared to Royal so we have gone back to Royal and decided it would be hard to go to another line now. Is this how people become Loyal to Royal? We just booked our next cruise (unless we book another one before we go lol) on Freedom. Looking forward to the ABC islands. 

Good news is that PCE is not fatal and typically spontaneously resolves.  Remedies such as that suggested by @JLMoran are sometimes effective in treating the symptoms but really do nothing to address the fundamental cause of the ailment.  Currently, there is no cure for PCE, but those afflicted can still lead a productive life with appropriate group counseling and some physical therapy to address any contusions that arise from pounding on the floor with your fists screaming "there's still 42 (or how ever many) days before embarkation".  Hang in there; and pay no attention to the naysayers who might say "Oh geez, is that a tropical storm forming in the Eastern Atlantic?".  

Oh that is classic, very clever. We sail Anthem Sept 21 and we are really have PCE. Talking about it everyday. The only thing that sucks is PCD, post cruise depression. ?

I was just diagnosed with PCE.. as of right now I’m unable to travel. The doctor said it may get better in the next 43 days, I have a follow up appointment on September 8th with Doctor HOTS . please help me through these trying times.. Pre Cruise Excitement is a disease lol

I say enjoy your new status and don't overthink it!
Happy cruising!

If your married or anyone else in your household that has signed up for RC’s C&A society and has been in enough cruises to obtain platinum status and has signed you and your wife/husband up for the C&A society and has the same last name as you, then you & your husband/wife is now whatever status that they have because that person has the higher C&A status of your household.
If anyone in your household has been on several RCI cruises and has earned enough C&A points to be platinum, then you will now have the same C&A status as your Husband/wife/other family member but will not have the same amount of points because you are starting from 0 points but will have the same C&A status as you wife/husband/other family member. 

We were on the same cruise as @rjac . There were 8 of us and lots of bags. When disembarking we grabbed a porter and bypassed everyone in customs. There was one person in line in front of us. If you disembark early it my not be a big deal. If later, I know it saved us at least 30 minutes and well worth the extra $$ I tipped the porter. He'll watch your bags while you bring the car down, too! It was less than 30 minutes from the time we swiped our sea pass card to get off the ship til we were in the car and ready to go!

We just got off last week.  We have done Anthem and Celebrity out of Bayonne.  We always parked in the covered garage.  Lo and behold we found out for Adventure it is the covered lot right across the terminal/covered garage.  It is very secure so don't worry.
The negative for the lot is that with the covered you can drive down to the kiosk area and back your car in...it is less than a minute from the exit.  The open lot you have to cross the lanes of the drop off.  If you go to that lot pay for a porter to take your bags if you can't carry them all.
We arrived at the port 10:30.  Through the terminal on the ship within 20 mins.  
We had the 8:30 debark.  Since we were in the open parking lot we paid a porter.  There is a separate check out/custom lane for porters.  Hubby pd the porter so he could pay at the kiosk, cool down the car and meet us.  We pulled out at 8:45.  That included customs.
We paid 22 per day.  There is a shuttle parking lot that costs 16.  My husband and I agreed, 6 bucks a day, I would rather not have to get in a shuttle.  
 

Another thing not mentioned...
Being only 30 minutes away from the port, you likely are familiar with NJ and/or the Tri-state area traffic.  
If you are not aware of the Waze GPS navigation phone app, they have a great feature where you can put in a future time/date and it will give you a listing of how long it estimates your travel time.  Depending on  your cruise departure (weekday or weekend) could change how long it takes you.  Waze can give you a exact time to leave to arrive at 10am (or whatever) on such and such day.
Have a great cruise

This needs to be your top consideration, I didn't drive but had an uber picks us up at the pre cruise hotel at 10am for the Anthem GC (Embassy Suites in Elizabeth, NJ), uber made really good time until we turned Terminal Blvd then everything slowed way down, we didn't drop our luggage off until about 10:55. I would have left earlier if I had known it could get backed up that bad.
uber XL was $37.00.
