WAAAYTOOO

With SC you will get 1 day Thermal Pass complimentary. Once is always enough for me but Dan really enjoys the sauna and steam room...but he doesn't pay for additional time, he just uses his 1 time and that's it. Right now I'm not sure the TS is even open.

...and to enhance your experience ! Don't forget that one

That looks yummy !

Hmmm…sounds like a somewhat disappointing first day. At least Sunil seemed to be attentive (although it was his failure at check-in, if you ask me). I would have been completely unimpressed with SC if this was my first impression.

Shameful and utterly unacceptable. Sorry to hear this.

I was at Futenma (with ex-spouse) from 89-92. I worked at Camp Lester

YIPPEE !!! I think you will be much happier with this suite. I have had a heart attack like that before. When you click on a specific room/suite it takes it out of inventory so that nobody else can book it while you are looking at it....but then when you close out of it, it will remain out of inventory for a little while and only a very good agent will go the extra few steps that it takes to go and retrieve it from room purgatory. So glad you got it switched. I really think you made the right decision. The balcony on 1720 is HUGE !

I agree with you about the Champagne bar. I always loved that bar setup. I hope they keep it but I doubt they will.

Are you talking about the pork belly ? I tried it once and it was very unappealing. I think it needed to be crisper or something. I haven't tried it again.

While I have never been inside the UPS, I believe that I would definitely try and switch to the SLS. I'm sure you realize that this will reprice your booking completely. I probably would let the pricing make the decision for me. If it's significantly more to upgrade to the SLS I would just keep the UPS and deal with its limitations. My biggest objections to the UPS are the relatively small living space, lack of any view from the living room and the location. It is hell and gone from Deck 17 and way out of the way from most everything I would want to do but it's also the most affordable of the Star Class suites. If RoyalUp to the SLS is an option for a reasonable bid, I would say go for it !

You’re close to me ! I’m in Port St Lucie, only about 15 minutes south. Welcome to the Treasure Coast !

Got a notice that my 12-23-21 AL cruise will be going to Nassau vs Labadee. UGH. Most likely won't be able to go anyway...

I googled it. The closest one is up in the St. Augustine area. I'm sure they will spread though.

I've never been to a Buc-ee's !

Yes. On Oasis, Allure and Harmony, you get to choose between the pole or an OS that is connected to an adjoining room. Finally on Symphony they eliminated the adjoining room OS so now there is at least an OS without the pole OR a connecting door.

I purchased the Coco Cay Beach Club passes for $53.99 PP many months ago. Of course, that is for the 9-13-21 Mariner cruise which is now cancelled (along with the 9-17 and 9-20 ones, too).

Ah.....the carnivores' delight....

You really have the most important aspects already identified. It comes down to 2 things (for me). 1. Do you want to be up on 17 ? 2. Do you want stairs ? If you plan on eating at the Coastal Kitchen a great deal of the time, then being on Deck 17 is extremely convenient. It's just a few steps down the hallway and you're there. An OS would mean an elevator ride. It's kinda like the difference between staying "on property" at Disney or having an "off property" hotel. If you don't want to be climbing stairs all day then you may want to steer clear of the CLS. I, personally, prefer the OS to the CLS. I feel like I have more room and I don't have those stairs to worry about. ...but I am also not a die-hard fan of the CK (sorry Sabrina !!). One thing's for sure though....as great as the OS is, you will never EVER get that BIG view anywhere except for the 2 level suites. There is a WOW factor there that you just can't get anywhere else. In general, the OS is usually a few bucks more than the CLS but not always.

Note to self: don't get sick in Antigua.

Not sure how they're doing it since the restart but in the past room service for "continental" breakfast was always free of charge. Any cooked meal incurred a service charge unless you're in a Grand Suite or higher, in which case room service was complimentary.

I’m so with you on sitting in the back for the Comedy show. No way do I want to be human fodder for everyone’s entertainment.

LOL. Nothing quite as exciting as you would be interested in.... Just what they call a screened patio enclosure in these parts... It will cover the entire back of the house.

Everything went well with the walk-through, but as I said before, we knew exactly what still needs to be done and our Construction Manager is taking care of all of it....not that there's much. Apparently the builder does not have the gas turned on prior to closing. I was not aware of this so I need to call the gas company tomorrow and make arrangements for them to come and turn on the gas and check all of the gas appliances. Not a big deal...just something that I hadn't been aware of before. I guess that's what final walk-throughs are for... I mentioned before that we are having some post-closing work done....there are a lot of things that the builder just doesn't do so we are contracting those ourselves to be completed once we are officially the owners. We are having an epoxy floor coating put on the garage floor, sealing the tile throughout the house (which is all we have...no carpet of any kind), built-ins for the closets, office, entertainment center, garage storage, a very nifty jewelry cabinet for me !, additional kitchen cabinet installs, BIG bird cage fenced enclosure on the back of the house, fans throughout the house, new lighting fixtures (some pendant lights and a new foyer light), whole-house water treatment system, and emergency generator system. All of this has to be done AFTER the year-long wait to complete the actual house ! Some of it can be done soon, some will take a while. The bird cage, for instance, will most likely take several months to complete. They are THAT booked up. So we will be looking forward to another few months of post-construction, construction. It's going to be a while before we are truly "settled".

LOL. I didn't even know PSL had a Club Med ! LOL We love it here.

That's such a great idea. I wish they would have a rule like this in Costa Maya. I absolutely love going to CM but the vendors are so annoying.
