Thanks Matt & ChessE4! 19 Days to go! Really looking forward to it I thought I saw some movies ? listed in an older compass, & already got Flight & Hairspray booked for 3:30 pm! ?? That way we can chill around dinner time.I did forget to call about CK reservations since we got the suite , but 2nd might 40th anniversary & got Hooked booked! That would be nice if they did an outdoor theatre like Some if he other ships do! But with the Grand Suite, we’ll prob find something in there. Thanks again KimS

Whelp, 21 more days for our 1st Symphony of the Seas & really looking forward to it. Got the Grand Suite, know there’s “hopefully “ movies in there! Haven’t seen any movie theaters on the ship? Know about all the live stuff, just wanna know if there’s any actual movie ? theaters on Symphony? As always Thanks KimS

We're going to a couple of places, one of which is Roatan , we "may" go to the port, but other than that, may just stay on the ship! From what I've heard, so many stay on the ship & relax with so much the ship has to offer. Just "My" thoughts though & you can see what others come up with also! Enjoy KimS

Oh Lordy!!! We go Aug 17th & as usual I put off packing til later! ?? I figured just throw some jeans, shirts for both of us, got bathing suits ready, put in a couple of long sleeves for him & a dress for the anniversary, lol.....then black pants & nice tops for nights. Only thing I didn’t get was tie sneakers—thinking we “might “ use the gym to work off food! This is coming from the 2 people who never exercise though We just to a little walking in slip on sketchers ! ? ? KimS

ROFL ??

Did ya go back to the lounge during the day though to get stuff to drink? And just have it in your room for later. I was kinda thinking that except when so far away from the lounge or room. Thanks! KimS

Thanks! I had the refreshment Package, then deleted it, thinking since the suite lounge would offer us enough drinks , & while figured we’d have lemonade or ice tea during the day with prob a few drinks. Shoot maybe I’ll get it just so I don’t have to worry about it! But, do think the cruise lines count on that so they end up with more of your money! Hmnnn .....it does sound convenient though Thanks! KimS

Yep, It Worked!! Thanks? Lol, We go in Aug….. but used to TAUCK small land tours, haven't done a cruise in soooo long! We did Alaska, Jamaica, Tahiti & the Virgin Islands yrs ago. I was joking with the hubby about doing the video while on there, he just growled, lol! ?I take way to many pics & videos…. but geese I gotta take them on here! Gosh, I know I've been watching all those live blogs they look so fun! But I'm not Into rock climbing or zip lining, lol….. but ya never know! ?

I'm probably never gonna get why swimming with the pigs is something people wanna do??? Always though, to each they're own & Enjoy, esp if ya find the right kind of pigs to swim with ?

I go for 12 too!

That is drink package APP is SO Cool ? Thanks, doesn't look like it's worth is, but gonea recalculate! I can click on it & it comes up on here.( My Large laptop ) Would love to get this APP on phone - will try to see if I can……..just copied on phone, thanks! Thanks again, KimS

Thanks Matt! We don't really drink that much water & if it's ok in the dinning room, lol……figuring if the water in the lemonade & tea are, then guess we'll stick with that. And prob. won't add up to whatever we're drinking! But, I do get where people like the convenience. That's where I'll be cheap & the hubby will say go ahead & get package! He did figure the one with alcohol would be more than we normally would drink, but I may have to get it, lol….. He keeps saying geese, we paid for the suite, think we can afford the convenience! But He's not on the blog, Hehe!!!! ? Thanks again, KimS

Trying to figure out if we get water each day with the Grand Suite, also if the Refreshment package is worth it? Know the all drinking package isn’t, would have to drink a lot of alcohol each day to be worth it. Not sure if the water comes with the suite though. Prob nay have a few sodas a day, I’m fine with lemonade or ice tea if the waters good! Don’t wanna go to the Concierge lounge every time we want drinks, soda, water...... ? Thanks KimS

Maybe a joke but did see someone had the idea in mind, so been looking into it cuz ya never know? We actually work with our stocks for a living, since Citrus greening went kerplunk back in 2007, really before Citrus was out before but Started doing stocks long term in 2007. No one would touch Apple back then & hadn’t even heard of Steve Jobs or Tim Cook so we figured we learn ourselves, Thank God! Did actually hear they were thinking about getting an airline the other day watching CNBC, but haven’t looked enough into it. Will be soon though & will let ya’ll know! KimS —> ? == ?? ??

Nope, EVERYONE here is saying 10:30 or so....... can’t hurt to be early. If you’ve got a suite or purchased the Key you despise to get on 1st. Just be there early. Maybe close with whoever is leaving at your port & even same cruise! Love the info we get from the bloggers?? Oh...... Just saw You got the answer from the WaaayTooo, sure helped me a lot. ?

Thanks DunkelBier Jay! We’ve traveled a lot over these 40 yrs ? & finally got tired of actually carrying the carry on!! Lol ?

Thanks!! KimS

Thanks ScooterScott22, Yep, Planned on checking either 1-2 suitcase, just got a carry on that has wheels, that'll have my bathing suits, etc… will be in, just in case we get in a swim before the room, kinda doubt it though. Will check if I can find the size of the carry on bag for the ship- if too big, will just take a big purse! ? Thanks so much, KimS

Love the pic AND the Advise!! We do get the Coastal Kitchen, so will make sure we can get those tails! Thanks Again!

Thanks to SO many of you helping me all my questions! Didn't clarify my question, so hope this helps I'm trying to edit my question on Boarding. I don't think I clarified the situation considering some of the answers I received, but always appreciate any! First…. We are Definitely checking in our suitcases! I just have a carry on that happens to have wheels, glad I'm not the only one! It's like a underseater for planes, that's how we've been traveling for most of the 40 yrs, except for some cruises here & there. But did get tired of lugging on a carry on the plane, so got a small underseat with wheel, as a carryon. Again, Will be checking in my suitcase or suitcases for sure! Not getting the key, since we got the suite for anniversary. I was very confused by the diff. times I was told I could embark, so going early & winging it.  Thanks so much for all the help & answers, hope I clarified my question……. may clarify on the original post. Thanks again KimS

Yep, gonna board as early as I can! Got confused with RCCL giving me diff times to get on, but just going to wing it…. also was concerned, with traveling on a plane a lot ,finally got the carry on with wheels, so was hoping that wouldn't be a problem…. but def. checking in 1-2 suitcases. Thanks again! KimS

Got confused, so may have accidentally poIsting twice, a few are getting confused by what I had written. I'm definitely checking in my bags & happen to have a small carry on that has wheels. I'll edit my post to clarify that! I didn't purchase the key since we have a suite. Just didn't wanna have the "only" small carry on with wheels! Again, the other bags will be checked in. Thanks! KimS

I've got a suite, so didn't need the key. But am definitely checking in my suitcases, lol….. just have the one carry on that has wheels. Will just wait up in the concierge lounge "If" they let u bs! I saw that the CK was also open for lunch, but will play that by ear. Thanks again, KimS

Thanks SO Much WAAAYTOOO! We "used" to cruise on Princess 30-40 yrs ago, then when they started going down, switched to small Globus tours , then TAUCK small group tours, so used to flying now but after 40 yrs just now trying this Royal Caribbean! But, geese those small TAUCK tours are incredible but do cost like half a car!!! LOL ? So, now I just got this carry on that's got wheels, got tired of being the only one on the plane carrying my carry on! Everyone's got these small ones with wheels, do ya think I'm gonna stand out like a sore thumb!?? Seriously, so used to flying every year, then fly up to NC-- just as great as Europe IMO, but still love my carry on with wheels now! ? I so appreciate the 17th floor idea! .So glad to hear about that Terminal A, thanks again for all your answers!
