Same glitch here.

I was just trying to get into my reservation to buy amenities but it's not letting me get to the page with the options. I can get into my reservation, but when I click "plan my reservation" it goes back to the log in screen. I tried more than once and it kept doing the same thing. It's frustrating! They need to get this fixed.

Earliest check-in time from Galveston is now 11 am. This used to be 10 am a few years ago.

Most ships have bookings through April 1 2026, we are actually on Odyssey out of NJ in Feb of 26, for whatever reason they did not open up March.  Here's hoping they're not dry docking or something during that period.  Would seem silly to have nothing out of the NE for a month but that will be right around the 5 year mark. 

I checked in at midnight for Symphony for the May 31st cruise and got 10:30am check in.

I am on SY right now, had an 1130 checkin time this past Saturday. Was at the terminal at 1015, went straight in and sat in a holding pen for about 30 mins. Was on ship by 1100-1115.
 

That would be awesome. We sailed Liberty last Oct and loved her. It was a fun, fun cruise but the shop is showing her age. She just needs love and attention. We sail very again this October, and then May 2025 so it would be interesting to see her transformation between those two cruise if it happens. We sail her again late September 2025 also. 🤣

Would like to try it one day. I can see the pros and cons. I’m the early riser, but usually go to top to walk around and watch the sun rise

I think they’re a bit behind on releasing sail dates in recent months - maybe all the new ships and such. I booked April 2025 from Cape Liberty at the Next Cruise lounge on board in April 2023 (so two years out) and I was hoping to book April 2026 on the cruise we just disembarked. No luck. I keep checking almost obsessively. lol. I’d like to go on Symphony. 2025 will be the Odyssey. I’m tired of flying to Florida (mostly because of a lousy blue airline and unpredictable weather) and going out of Bayonne is so much easier for this New Jersey resident!

I was on at 11 for 12 ship time rhapsody out of San Juan in June.  12-123was the earliest I could get.  Now the ship sails at 8pm, so that really legit could be the first time.  It feels late though.  Jane

You should be able to cancel your day bed reservation onboard as long as it is at least 24 (I think) hours in advance.  You will receive refundable Onboard Credit for the refund.  The advanced notification might be 48 hours….i can’t recall exactly but it looks like you would have ample time to cancel between days 2 and 6.

No sail No points

No.  You only get Crown and Anchor points if you are actually on the sailing.

Welcome to the message boards.
You are correct, there's no more Diamond Plus line.
For Express Check In, you need to have the setsail pass say it (regardless of C&A status). In order to get it, you need to do the check-in on the Royal Caribbean app (not website), scan your passport in the app (not enter it manually), enter all contact info, add credit card, upload check in photo, and then do health questionnaire. 

MyTime now means "make a reservation" and "if you want a particular time you better make that reservation the day that reservations open."

MyTime was originally MyTime when it was first rolled out. Then they let it grow too big.

Now it's "WeWillFindTimeForYou"

On embarkation day, soon after boarding, I go to the MDR with a list of times. Some days I may need to shift by 30 minutes or so, but all in all, it works. We show up about 10 minute before our scheduled time and are seated quickly. 

We sailed on Icon on Feb 24. Since then I have spent way too may hours creating a video review of our cruise. Yes it only took 2 months.  It's geared for family with kids.
Please watch the review if watching YouTube videos about cruises is your thing. 🤣
Spoiler alert: ... we liked it?
 
 

I've got a cruise on Vision in summer 2025 and the price for that dropped considerably today. I wonder if they're suddenly having issues selling that route?

Specialty dining on embarkation day is definitely the way to go. The wife and I have been doing this for the last few cruises, it makes everything much calmer and you're away from the chaos. Also by the time you finish lunch the ship has had a chance to calm down. So much more relaxing.

Started doing specialty lunch on embarkation day a few years ago and will never do it differently again. Worth it for the quiet, no chaos experience. It's just the best. 

For me…once you’ve been to a few of them…you feel as though you’ve seen them all!  Almost always same or very similar questions.  Just not entertaining enough to sit through.

Liberty is definitely showing some major wear and tear compared to other ships in the fleet.  They don't necessarily need a full amp with new venues since it already has the water-slides but it could REALLY use some new furniture and paint.  I mean the dining room still has the original green chairs and oval tables on the top 2 levels!

Last July when we were on Liberty the Captain said they were looking at 2025 for an amplification but it wasnt set in stone yet.
 

Well I mean who doesn't like a big AFT? Big AFTs are best. 🤣
