There’s a Waldorf Astoria in Panama ?  Wow.
We haven’t even started looking at hotels or flights.  Until just a few days ago I wasn’t even sure we would be allowed to go on this one but it looks like they’ve eliminated all vax and testing requirements so maybe we will be ok.
 
We will be on the 3-9 cruise as well so we’ll be coming in a week or so before everyone else.

I just got the Deluxe Bev package for 67.99 a day
thought it was darn good price, especially lately with all the 77 and 88 a day prices
I have been seeing.
so if anyone is interested, go check it out in the cruise planner.

I don't see a thread yet for this one, but if there is, please move this over.  Thanks !
It won't be long and we will be able to start booking air travel for this one; 4-12-23 according to the AA website.
1.  Which airport do we fly into (PTY ?) ?
2.  Has anyone started looking into hotels for the pre-cruise stay ?
We are going to be on the one prior to this (3-9-24) as well as this (3-16-24) group cruise sailing; we want to traverse both directions since this is likely to be our one and only Panama Canal cruise.
Who else is coming along ?

Tomorrow we sail. Yahoo!!! Safe travels everyone. See you onboard.

We will probably be on the pool deck. Works best for us.

It was in a thread on Facebook where I read Playmakers has charged a cover in the past for Superbowl. Being an A la carte venue I'm not surprised.  

We have been on when the Super Bowl was airing and they never charged us anything. Let's hope that's the case this time. I heard Aqua Theater, Playmaker and the pool deck also. Lots of places so maybe it won't be too crowded.

I'd be more concerned with a friend of twenty years that is suicidal.  Heck, forget about twenty years, someone is suicidal.  That becomes a priority.  
Once that reality was upon me, my cabin doesn't matter.  The only thing that's important would be that person.  Nothing else matters.

Unfortunately, I'm a bit more blunt than Neesa.
What is your endgame?  Whether you mean to or not, you are coming across like you are expecting resolution in the form of a complete refund.
I'm sorry you and a 20 year friend are enemies now, but that's on the two of you not Royal Caribbean.  You and your former friend handed the staff on the ship a xxxx sandwich and they did the best they could. 
How good of friends were you if an argument while you were checking in for a cruise caused an irreparable rift?  
 
 
 
 

Wow. Just wow.
The only thing I see RCCL did that is questionable was to let you board in the first place.  
They gave you a second cabin.  You only paid for one.
RCCL is not responsible for your relationship.
Of all the ridiculous complaints I've seen from first time posters, this one takes the cake.
Suck it up buttercup.  You and your friend ruined your vacation... not RCCL.

I fail to see where any of this is the fault of Royal Caribbean. 

Looks like they moved things around to show it in the Aqua theater. 
 

Thanks, just joined.

WE are going on the Roatan Island Tour and Beach. Never been to Roatan so we wanted to get a feel for the place.

Did you guys get the chance to read this yet?
Thanks Matt!

I was supposed to sail Symphony this February but last minute tweaks put us on Oasis. Maybe I'll jump on the 5 day in March, it would be my last shot at trying to get prime. A working gambling cruise LOL.

Really last Minute trigger pull here. No FB group for it??? so I made one but so far no joiners... Fiancé got a promotion so this is a celebration  trip for us... Now how do I keep her from running off with a sloth? 😄

There was a Chris Wong sighting on SY today !

Phew. I'm not alone.

New Diamond Plus here, I just called to setup our gifts. Even though we are a "household" and my wife doesn't have 175 points (D+ through marriage) I was able to set one unique gift each effectively giving my wife 2 gifts and me 0 gifts 🙂.

Memory is fuzzy but recall in January 2013 on Adventure of the Seas from San Juan to the Southern Caribbean there was a night where a mini buffet was setup on the pool deck. It was a nice break from late night Sorrento's. (Fun fact, if you ever sail with me you'll learn of my midnight+ Sorrento's on my balcony obsession LOL). 

Absolutely! What I experienced was more of a themed thing and plenty showed up and ate! 

Lets admit that food waste is abundant in the Windjammer and the MDR.  I think one midnight buffet per sail would be welcoming add on feature to make Royal stand out more with regards to cuisine choices for the week.

We will be on this cruise, too. Looking forward to Roatan because we've never been there.
