We have not worn our pins and don't plan to anytime soon but have no resentment for those that do.

For a B2B, would a Diamond member be allowed use drink vouchers the morning of disembarkation that would only count for the first cruise, and then reboard later that day and start using vouchers for the 2nd cruise. Where can you get a drink the morning of disembarkation?

We are also "take the stairs" people and like to book on decks 7-10 so we never have to go up or down more than a few levels. On our Empress trip in 2020, we didn't use the elevators the entire week.

Congratulations! I agree with @Mike n Ky, definitely let the cruise team know it's your honeymoon and try to get on Love and Marriage show. I think we will be on Odyssey the same time as you guys!

We hit 140 points on the last night of our Brilliance cruise in June. They left a crystal block in our room a day early.....YAY. The block was for Symphony......interesting that it wasn't Brilliance but.......we love Symphony and had no issues with it.

I'm on a cruise ship and any port on vacation is better than being stuck at work. But.....if I have to offer a couple of ports they would be...............Port Canaveral and Freeport Port Canaveral has Cocoa Beach, Kennedy Space Center, Ron Jon's, and a great dive bar.......but we've done it multiple times. Freeport has..........................a beach?

We used to go for the conch fritters too.

We have booked numerous excursions through Viator. Just make sure your tour times coincide with your time in port. It might be helpful if you share where you are going as some ports have more options than others.

I hope that couple earned a lot of cash back or travel rewards with their large dinner purchase!

I'm with you @foulmouthedieon! We were on Symphony last year and enjoyed the artwork throughout the ship, including the bathrooms. I took a picture to show my wife (she confirmed the ladies room did not have the same theme).

One package for two devices will be the better value. You could also share one plan and each sign off to let the other use it but that may not be ideal.

Congratulations on your 55th Anniversary next year. Quite an accomplishment. Enjoy the planning and fun of your first cruise. To answer your question, your sea pass card will have the drink package included. It may be a short amount of time after you board before you get your sea pass card but you can show a bartender your setsail pass or give them your room number and you should be fine.

try each site....here is the Staybridge Suites link.....looks like Candlewood has stopped the shuttle due to COVID https://www.ihg.com/staybridge/hotels/us/en/baltimore/balih/hoteldetail?cm_mmc=GoogleMaps-_-SB-_-US-_-BALIH there's a tab below that says park and cruise. I had to refresh to get that option.

Candlewood Suites and Staybridge Suites are very close and have park n' cruise deals.
