  1. Thanks!! Sounds like a plan, decided last yr to get a carry on with wheels, ( usually take a plane!) hope that won’t be too weird! lol .....Thanks again KimS
  2. UPDATE! ? Trying to clarify my question. Thanks to all you Great Royal Caribbean Blog members!! 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 My 1st Blog- Needed To be Clarified! Ok, I know there's already been a discussion about this, but I called RC & getting different answers! We're leaving next month & got a Grand Suite, so saw we had early embarkation ( 10- 10;30 am ) ! So…. If anyone is leaving on same date or has info would appreciate any help as alway We're going on the Symphony on 8/17/2019 & it has embarkation ( Miami Port ) between 12 pm & 3:30 pm. Kept thinking since we got the suite & got early embarkation, thought 10-10:30 am would be about right, but then do understand others are getting off that ship at the same time!? But then saw that we couldn't get into our room til 1pm, because cleaning the rooms & could explore the ship OR get lunch! Sounds like that's what a lot are doing? Thanks for ANY help on this… KimS
  3. We were gonna check out the ruins, but the port itself looked pretty nice, so as of now we’re just going to the Port! ( Aug. ) Check it out on YouTube .
  4. Thanks BB1! I booked the Hooked restaurant to get the lobster tails 2, instead of the surf & turf— just gonna try to get 2 tails! Yep, that Coastal Kitchen should be on their app. Think I’ll use that number to call to reserve Coastal, just to be safe ? I even booked Flight & Hairspray on the 2 sea days, even though suites have reserved seats, saw they both were on at 3:30. Thanks for your advise ??
  5. Thanks to everyone for helping me decide I had reservations for the 2nd night ( our anniversary ) at Cho ups because we like lobster tails. Didn't want the big Maine lobster….. thinking the tails would be better? Maybe just used to getting the tails, easier! But….. now see that at Hooked you can get the Surf & Turf- lobster tail…. & gonna change to Hooked if possible, & ask for 2 tails instead of the filet & tail. Wish me luck as I wish all you guys luck making reservations! They really need to fix that in the site. Happy Cruising to all, KimS PS: I'm sure I'll be asking more questions, lol……. ?
  6. I've had a horrible time trying to book Coastal, or most the time any Speciality restaurants.
  7. I wanted to know the same thing! Thanks…...
  8. So, got a suite for our anniversary & figured we’d probably eat dinner at The Coastal Kitchen, so many have said they’re much better than MDR , Windjammer & right there with the Specialty Restraunt’s. But then read some thought the CK was just so-so. Would love to get as many opinions to those who have been to them all! We don’t go til Aug.but trying to plan ahead. Thanks ahead for ANY help KimS
  9. We’re going on Symphony in August & our anniversary is also the 2nd night! We did get a suite, not sure if it’s on the 2nd night at Costal Kithen. So I looked at the menus at Chops & Hooked, since we had a coupon. Hooked has the lobster ? with crap meat stuffing & cheese. Chops has a whole Maine lobster, still gotta pay extra! But they also have surf & turf with lobster tail , got reservations there like you for our anniversary at Chops & gonna see if I can just get 2 lobster tails, if not the 1& 1/2 lb Maine lobster! Congratulations & hope it works out for ya, sine it’s on the Chops menu, we’re gonna stick with that - for now! ?
  10. Thanks SO much!! Was worried it would be all booked ?
  11. CFL, Let me know how it turns out I do know you can order decorations from the ship that they will put up in your room. I just really like the more personal touch with the pillow cases, etc... Also Congratulations to You too, time flies so quickly, it’s so hard for me to believe it’s gonna be our 40th!! BTW....we leave on Symphony of the Seas on 8/17 in case you’re on the same ship! ?
  12. We are Going to be celebrating our 40th this Aug, 2019 & wanted to know if they set this up for you or do you set it up after you're onboard. Would love to surprise my husband with it already set up! Thanks! KS
  13. Great read! It made me laugh when I read about the workout clothes & shorts, I "was" , still might…. lol, but I know too well I'm probably not gonna work out or wear shorts, as I also like just the sundresses! First time cruise in like a decade, we've been doing too expensive small land tours, lol….. but they were nice. But I did learn how I was over packing esp. when we went to Europe for 14 days. Really, it's so true about the black pants with diff. tops you can wear over & over to dinner, maybe a skirt with a few diff. blouses. I packed for half the time we were there-7 days & with that, even came home with never worn clothes! Not being on a cruise for so long, we just got hooked on those land tours & our own during the year, I'm not sure about the tennis shoes! I've got the slip on sketchers & slip on wedge sandals for night, but someone had said, oh you will need the tie on sneakers, but this someone who is a real workout gal. So still thinking about that one! Thanks for your info & Happy Cruising!
  14. We're going 8/2019 , got a Grand Suite for our 40th & can't make reservations online with Coastal Kitchen. Is Anyone else having this problem? Also been doing small land group tours for about a decade now, so a lot's changed I can see on the cruises, got the refreshment package, & have no idea if that cost is gonna save us or not?! If so, are you really having to call to make them. Thought we'd just do the CK, sounds like it's as good as the Speciality ones. Thanks for any help! Kim S.?
  15. My hubby just told me I should do the same after yrs & yrs of wearing on small group tours! He says they can over-ride the safe!! Lordy! ?
  16. My husband just said he thought I should do the same! Put in safe in home & I'll cry a bit! ? After so many trips, not cruises though, but small groups- I've worn it for yrs & yrs! lol
  17. This looks pretty flashy! It’s just something to wear around your neck & show off to people you don’t even know! But if you’ve got it insured- Hey, Go for it! ?
  18. Going on Symphony of the Seas 8/2019. First RCL Cruise, splurged for Grand Suite for 40th Anniversary❣️ Can’t wait! 

  19. I’m taking pictures of my question & answers just in case!
  20. Oh No Now if any jewelry is stolen on my trip, they’re gonna come looking for ME!!!! ?
  21. ROFL Skid, Alrighty then I’m gonna wear my watch that I love on my 40th anniversary, 60 this year & gonna just enjoy ?
